I'm A Flirt

Just a quick NOTD here for my beautiful followers:
I recently (last week) picked up this gorgeous purple, red, deep nail color from Sally Hansen Xtreme wear collection

It was only $1.99 at my local Dollar General and I used it for the first time today.  This color is gorgeous and I think would look amazing on all skin tones.  I think this color is just beautiful and doesn't need anything extra to make it so pretty.  I used two coats of this and it was perfectly opaque and then Seche Vite to top it with, for a lot of shine!!!

Like I have said, I own quite a few of these Xtreme wear polishes and they are slowly becoming some of my favorite drugstore nail polishes.  Do you own any of these?  What are your favorite?!

Also, out and about yesterday...my best friend and I were searching Target when we found the cutest, brightest shirts EVER.

(We seriously could pass as sisters sometimes!)

These shirts are very thin and need a tank top underneath of them but they are so bright and comfortable!  They have a cute little pocket on the left side too! I'm not big into fashion but I thought they were adorable and only $12.99 each.  I think I will be wearing this shirt a lot come summer time.

(Just wanted to add this one in to show the BRIGHHHTTness of my shirt)

What do you think of my bright, highlighter yellow shirt?  It basically glows in the dark its so bright! haha I love it!

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!

Fly Shatter

Obviously I am on a nail polish kick here, since apparently it’s the only thing I know lately so why not make another blog post about nail polish, weeeee!

I love the colors that came out with the Nicki Minaj O.P.I collection but the two that caught my eye the most were Fly and the Super Bass Shatter.
Fly is the teal, creamy polish and let me say officially I LOVE THIS!!! This is probably one of my favorite polishes in my whole collection. It is super creamy, opaque and beautiful. I love the formulation, the brush and how it applies. It goes on very smooth and I could have gotten away with only one coat, even though I went with two just to be on the safe side. I was debating on getting this polish because I thought I could possibly find something similar while I was in Ulta. I went looking all up and down the nail polishes and could not find a single polish that looked even close to this one. I knew I had to have it, even though I’m not usually an O.P.I fan, because of the price. Boy am I happy I actually bought this one.

The other one that I bought was the Super Bass Shatter. I bought this one after seeing sayanythingbr00ke review it on her YouTube channel. I thought it was gorgeous and could have so many possibilities for layering. I ended up going home the night I bought these two and put them on together and WHOA BABY did I love the look I ended up with. The shatter has a very good “shattering” effect, which makes this girl a happy girl. The light blue, green, teal amazingness underneath the sparkly pink, purple, goldish shatter was a look that I couldn’t take my eyes off of. I wore this for a few days before the tips started to wear, and then I just replaced it with just two coats of Fly on its own. I wore this around until it was almost completely chipped off my nails (tacky, I know)

I would wear this color every day if I didn’t have so many choices that I wanted to wear all the time. I keep having to stop myself from picking this color when I go to do my nails (bad Justine, use something new!) I think I might even go get another one, just so I have a back up.

I purchased mine from Ulta at $8.50 a piece, soooo worth it in my opinion. Just look at that teal! Uh, okay, I’m done drooling now.

Wake and Flake

So I wanted to do a quick review on the Flaky polish that I own from Finger Paints. I know these are blowing up all over the place right now and I only own one of them, which makes me incredibly sad, but I figured I would share my insight on it anyways.

The one out of the collection of 5 that I own is Flecked. This one is a flaky (OOObviously, Justine) polish that reflects mainly green. There are slight hints of blue in this as well, but overall it is different shades of green. I love the effect that this gives over black polish; the one pictured is Black Expressionism from Finger paints. I have not tried this polish over anything but black and white yet, but I think over a darker green or even blue would look pretty wicked.

The black polish, Black expressionism, is quite exceptional as well. It is very thick and opaque on one pass. I was happy I purchased this because I have not been able to find a good black polish.

Both of these retail for $5.99, I think, but since I bought mine from Sally’s Beauty Supply, it was only $4.99. I would love to go back and get a couple more of these, if I can find them anywhere!

Tell me what you guys think of the flaky polishes, and which ones should I get that I am missing. Also, what other brands have you found that have good flakies?
