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,

First post, weeee

My first couple of blogs will be nails of the day, so to speak. I think this is a good idea to get the feel for my blog and start off with a couple of posts that will be simple, yet informative (I hope!) Soooo, today will be about a nail look I did a few weeks ago. It is a dark, swampy green with rainbow reflective glitter on just the tips. Putting the glitter on just the tips gives the polish a more “manicured” look and the polish I have looks a lot like rhinestones when applied like this.

The Green that I used for this look is Suvi by Zoya, a very dark green with green micro glitter. It has more of a frosted finish than a glittery one. When you first apply the polish, it has a light black base that the glitter almost sits in, but after about 2 coats it turns into the green you see from the bottle. The first layer is very sheer but once you get that second coat on, it fills in quite nicely. I got this polish when Zoya was having their deal that if you paid shipping cost, you got 3 polishes for free. So I have had this for a long time now and just got around to actually using it. I am very pleased with the results.

The rainbow, holographic, amazing, spectacular top coat that I put on the tips of my nails is called Frost yourself by Icings. I received this polish for Christmas from my best friend in a four pack of amazing glitter polishes. Icings polish gets a bad rep sometimes because of where it comes from, but I personally own a lot of Icings (mainly because of the best friend working in said store) and because I do like the formula on most of them. This polish has a mixture of hexagonal silver glitter and smaller circular silver glitter in a clear base. It gives off the most amazing sparkle and it can’t even come close to be caught in pictures. After seeing the glitter from Electropop by China Glaze, they look very similar. I think you could get away with this one, at the cheaper price and still have the same effect. (I have not swatched the glitter from Electropop so I’m not sure on how thick the glitter applies compared to Frost Yourself)
I love the way this looks with the glitter only on the tips, and since I have done this same concept with different colors and glitters. I think it is just a simple look that is eye-catching. My pictures don’t do it justice, but this is a gorgeous combination!
