Nubar-Indigo Illusion

Today's post is The beautiful Nubar Indigo Illusion! This color, like a lot of duo chromes is crazy hard to capture on camera, it is SO SO beautiful in person. In person it flashes more purple than I could get it in pictures.

For these pictures I used 3 coats. No Topcoat, but I really wish I did before I took pics!

Scrangie JUST posted about this too and I cannot even compete with her pics LOL!

My Julep Maven "IT GIRL" Box!

Hey guys!! Okay First off I am SO sorry I haven't posted in what feel like a month!
I really wish I had a good reason, My brother moved out on Monday, without his extra help around here I was busier, and I converted his room to Skylar's (my daughter)

 new big girl room! I had to put her new bed, dresser, and side table together! My awesome generous sister & BIL bought her all of those things & also a new bedset & a dolly for her Bday, which is next month!
Can't believe she is almost 2! And then that killed my nails, THEN she (Sky) lost my nail art brushes & nail file (which is STILL missing! Who knows where it went! Kids hide things amazingly well!)
I paint my nail way to messy to post without my cleanup brush, and I felt a little uninspired but I am back!!

Anyway! Today's post is on what I am sure you all have heard about and sick of hearing about by now, the Julep monthly subscription. Basically this is a Birchbox for nail products!
Now I was pleased with this, but I don't plan to keep the subscription, to be honest I canceled it already lol!
I just can't or don't want to spend $20 on a monthly box from them at this point in time, But I used the coupon code smh9oxu for $15 off, so I got it for $5!

Took pictures of everything for you guys!

 The items in my box (It Girl Themed) are Emilie & Sienna. 

I also got their base coat & this awesome  Glycolic hand scrub that I love!

 Fofr today's post I used Emilie, is a Evergreen creme And I think is is a great color ( I love greens!)

It's versatile, to me anyway. I think it works for spring & fall! Julep Polishes Retail for $14

But if that code works I think you should all get at least one Julep Box, take the Julep Maven quiz & get this! @ polishes, a nail treatment and a handscrub! Who can beat that?! The hand scrub alone normally retails for $32!

Missed you guys! Check out my post tomorrow! This polish + HOLO & Flakies ;)

Comic Newpaper Mani & Katy Perry Concert Pics! *Picture Heavy*

Hey Guys! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a bit, I have been slacking! My camera died during the concert, so I had to charge the battery, And I was very much dreading taking off my Katy Perry mani because all of those rhinestones! The concert by the way was AWESOME! She puts on a great show! We had a lot of fun! I got some cotton candy of course and they sell it on a freaking rainbow glowstick thing haha. I got some pretty great pics, at least to me considering how far we were, I have shaky hands but some turned out great! I am going to share a few below my mani pics!

Okay and for my mani I did a newspaper mani. basically a quick explanation for those who do not know what this is, You cut newspaper into small nail sized pieces & dip it into rubbing alcohol or vodka and just take the piece of paper right after you dip it and hold it against your nail for about 30-40 seconds.

I hope you guys can really get past the massive amount of errors and suckiness in these pics! My fingers are extremely dry atm from the acetone I had to use to get off the rhinestones and my nails were painted messy and not cleaned up well, but I am tired and heading to bed in a few and said f*ck it! My daughter went to bed much earlier than usual so I need to get to sleep, maybe I should have waited to post but :P

The Polish I used was Deborah Lippmann-Waking Up In Vegas. (2 coats)

 (What can I say, I'm still in a Katy Perry mood :D}

& Then I topped it off with CND Effects-Gold Sparkle!

Here are the Concert Pics!

 Sorry for typing SO much! D: Off to bed I go! Click the pics of the concert though they look great bigger!

My Katy Perry Concert Nails!

Hey guys!! I am pretty darn excited about this post because I am going to see Katy Perry Tomorrow!

I tried to make my nails crazy like she does hers lol, I think they are Katy Perry Worthy, or appropriate anyway!!

They look much better in person but here they are! My camera shows the rhinestones more

cloudy than in person so there is more sparkle in real like, and the colors are also brighter in person too!

I put white underneath to make them pop and they show a bit more pastel than in person.

But all in all you get the idea!

The colors I used are

China Glaze- White on white (base), Electric Pineapple, Papaya Punch,

In the Lime Light. & Turned Up Turquoise.

Color Club-Poptastic, Warhol, Pucci-Licious, Chelsea girl, Wham! Pow!, & Almost Famous.

Here is my right hand! hehe I started running out of rhinestones so they are more sparse

on this hand, plus its harder to do since I am right handed!

Stripes & Polka Dots with Barielle's!

Hey guys! Today's nails are Stripes & Polka Dots, I saw Kayla from http://kaylashevonnebeauty.blogspot.com/ do her nails like this (But Much MUCH better lol)
 I should have looked at hers right before I did my nails and tried to make it look more like it,
Instead I just aimlessly made dots and stripes :P

 All the polishes used today are Barielle's :D

From left to right Aura Angora, Cashmere or Loose Me, Putt-E-On Me, Lava Rock, & Blackened Bleu

 Sorry about the smudgey bottle! *-*

I like this a lot, it's very Fall looking, but I wear all polish colors all year anyway!

Hope you all have a fantastic day!

But I will learn! I really want my blog to have all kinds of cosmetic & beauty items, But I am a Polish addict hehe and usually I can't resist!

This was my eye look today, Now I am pretty darn amateur when it comes to doing makeup, or I think so at least. Just saying I do not think I am pro or anything but I enjoy doing it and I hope you guys like it!

 For my eyes I used two of my new shadows! Atomic Dreamland in my inner corner & Lust for Life in my outer corner & crease. I also used Virgin from my UD Naked Palette to highlight my brow bone.

 On my lower lashline and water line I used Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Rockstar & put a little of LFL over that. The mascara I used was the one that came in my Birchbox this month, blinc Mascara-I was pretty underwhelmed with this : /

 LOL My eye looks pretty darn freaked out in this pic, but let's hope I get better at taking makeup photos! hehe

And OF COURSE being the Nail polish addict that I am I simply HAD to franken these babies up!!

*Made with Lust for Love*
