For Audrey with an edge

Hey guys!

So here are the nails that I did before I went on vacation. I used China Glaze For Audrey as a base for every nail except for the pinky nail, in which I used China Glaze Tinsel Town.

For the thumb, I added a layer of Funky Fingers Stage Dive. I left the index finger with only For Audrey. On the middle finger, I used tiny beads in a very similar color to For Audrey. The beads didn't last very long but I loved the overall look of it! On the ring finger, I added a nail sticker from Kiss nails.

Once again, I am happy to be getting back into the swing of things and I hope you all are looking forward to more posts :) The next post will be a guest post.

Let's Get This Thing Going Again!

Hey everyone!

It has been months since I have done anything blog related but I am ready to get back into the swing of things!

Just an update about what has been going on in my life since I last posted. I worked and went to school all summer. That took up quite a bit of my time and whatever time I had left was spent with my boyfriend and my family.

This fall, I am still working and in school. I recently got back from a much needed vacation in Florida. I will be posting my manicure from that time here on this blog within the next few days!

As I have said in the past, I am not only going to be posting nail related stuff but also a lot of other beauty reviews. The first official post on here should be up by Wednesday the latest and then there will be a guest post which I was supposed to put up so long ago.

Thanks for all who have stuck around and I will definitely be making it worth while, as I am working on a giveaway :)

A Royal Wedding

A couple weeks ago, I attended a wedding of a friend. It included all the festivities of a traditional Hindu wedding, including the mehendi night! That explains the henna on my hand :)

The manicure was done using a Love & Beauty polish which I do not know the name of because I can't find the bottle :(

The gems are from Kiss Nails and you can view the package I used by clicking here. I don't really recommend them though because they did not last very long on my nails. 

On the accent finger, I tried out those beads that have been very popular in nail art recently. I ordered a pack of 12 from here for $2.33 ! I really do like it and I am looking forward to trying other looks with the different colors.

I tried to match my nails as close as possible to the colors of my sari! 

Quick CVS Haul: $30 Worth of Stuff for $11

I just got back from CVS and I decided to post a small haul for you guys.

1. & 2. Ardell Fashion Lashes #137 Black - On clearance for $2.99 each. (Originally $4.99 each) - I have never really worn fake eyelashes except for last summer when a friend and I decided to try individual lashes. These seem to look pretty good and they were on sale so I don't feel too bad for buying them if I don't end up liking the way they look.

3. Dr. Miracle's Deep Conditioning Treatment  $1.99 - I have used this before and although I can't tell you if I saw much of a difference in my hair, I can tell you that it has an amazing cooling feeling that makes my scalp feel loved lol

4. Duo Eyelash Adhesive Clear $6.49 - I hear this is one of the best eyelash adhesives so I decided to give it a try.

5. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep (yes, it really is spelled that way on the bottle) Conditioner $5.29 - There has been huge buzz about this product and finally decided to pick it up after seeing it disappear from a lot of store shelves.

6. Dove Hair Therapy Extra Hold Hairspray $3.50 (Originally $5.49) - Pretty interested in how this will work. Plus, I admit I mostly picked it up because I love the packaging on this haha.

Coupons: 

$5 Beauty Rewards ExtraBucks

$5 off $20 purchase

30% off entire purchase (ended up being around $2.48)

Total: $11.73 including tax

Crystal Stars...Why Not!

If you follow me on Twitter, you would have already known I was going to post today! I am actually pretty surprised that I said I was going to do it and actually came through haha.

Just a quick update before I talk about the above manicure. I am still working and I just started summer classes. I really am trying to get back into blogging. I want to get back on a schedule of doing it. I tweeted a lot about this earlier today but I will mention it here as well. I don't want you guys to expect to see a lot of new nail polish on here because in all honesty, I haven't really been buying nail polish at all. I am going to be doing a lot of manicures with the nail polishes I already have. Plus, there are going to be a lot of reviews coming soon. I have so many that I need to get done so you guys need to bare with me! I am also hoping to get a giveaway up soon for all of my loyal followers that have stuck around while I have been popping in and out of here.

Anyway, here is the breakdown of the manicure above:

Base Coat: Milani Base Coat/Nail Grow
Base Color: Sinful Colors Why Not
Pointer Finger: China Glaze Liquid Crystal over Sinful Colors Why Not
Ring Finger: Truth of Isis star decorations  with a bit of China Glaze Liquid Crystal dabbed on top.
Top Coat: Seche Vite

China Glaze Liquid Crystal

I would love if you kindly ignore my horrible nails and cutiles! These are the hands of a working woman haha!

I know it has been a while since I last posted. Between school, work and life I really don't have much time for anything. I have a ton of reviews that I need to get out to you guys.

I also haven't really been painting my nails much because they get really messed up at work. I bought China Glaze Liquid Crystal at Ulta last week. I didn't even know this was part of a new collection lol I am so out of the loop.

Anyway, I hope this post will do for now..I am getting the flu and I figured if I am going to be laying in bed for the next couple hours, I might as well do at least one useful thing!
