I Wanna See Your Peacock!

So today I was going to have two reviews on a couple of my favorite mascaras but unfortunately I haven’t got around to taking pictures of both of them on my actual lashes. I think it would be kind of silly to post a mascara review without seeing how they look on my lashes! So instead I’m going to do a NOTD.

I love doing NOTD posts, and I think they are fun to read and see what combinations other people come up with. Lately, I have been big into putting glitter on just my accent (ring finger) nail. I think it gives the manicure something a little special without being over the top!

This look was created with my main color being Blue It by Sally Hansen. It is one of their Xtreme Wear nail polishes. I bought this on sale at my local Dollar General for only $1! I love this color. It’s a true, royal blue that has a very glossy, shimmery look to it and applies well. I have on two coats in the pictures below. I have quite a few of these Xtreme Wear nail polishes and I do love the formula of them. The brush is also one of the larger brushes that Sally Hansen is known for, and I do quite adore these.

The glitter polish that I have on my ring finger is called Lemme See Your Peacock by Icings. (I wanna see your peacock-cock-cock) I love this color. It is a chunky light blue, light green and pinky-purple glitter in a clear jelly base that you need a few coats for it to be opaque. I put this over top of two coats of Blue It, to make sure there was no nail showing through. This cost me $4.50 at Icings. I do really love almost any glitter polish that Icings puts out!

This combination is fun and cute for a weekend look. I did wear this to work for about 3 days and got a lot of compliments on the colors! What do you guys think about this look? What other glitters do you recommend?

Also, I would love some feedback from you guys on what type of posts you most like to see. Anything from haul, review, FOTD, NOTD, or anything at all! Currently I am working on a few reviews, a blush collection/overview of my favorite blushes and a current makeup and fragrance wish list! Help me make the most of this blog for the both of us!

Also, I would like to give a special thanks to everyone that has followed me so far! I currently have 19 followers and I AM THRILLED!!! I love the feedback and once I hit 100 followers I will be doing a giveaway! Anyways, thank you all so much for making the start of my blog awesome!

Always will be,
