ITS MY YEAR BY: O.P.I (( SHINE-ON ))

Ok todays beauty is ITS MY YEAR !! from O.P.I , this was part of my last "HAUL" from ULTA , the minute I saw this I knew had get it,  its a beautiful purple-ish , pink-ish , gold-ish , silver-ish. I truly love this color , its easy to apply and it glides beautifully into the nail. It is a sheer NOT SUPER sheer but for my liking I wouldn't only go with one coat.

this is one coat , it might work for some of your girls , but I think it needs at least 2

Amazing color , I hope you girls enjoy the pictures.

BUBBLE WHITE BY ORIGINAILS

Bubble White is a Fizzy-Bubbly solution ( comes in a powder form ) , that you mix with warm water ( not hot as it states on the instructions )

Its suppose to help whiten , brighten and cleanse nails, and since my nails do tend to get some yellowish coloration due to the fact that I switch nail polish

every other day, I needed something that could help me remove or prevent at least the yellowing on my nails. I was at my local Sally Beauty Supply and I asked the girl 

working for a product that I could try out for all the stuff mentioned above. 

She said that a lot of ladies would come in and take Bubble White , I was like " oh well " , since the pricing was reasonable $1.99 per packet of 11g or .4OZ net wt.

I grabbed a couple and kept on with my "sally day" I got home and it so happen that I was my " polish change day " and I do the whole set up I get all mani necessities ,

cuticle oil , cuticle dissolver and so on.

I grabbed a glass container, poured some warn water and mix the entire packet into the water. I did not stir or anything I just placed my hands inside the bowl and I was twirling my fingers around to make sure I got product all over my nails. The sensation to the fizzing was funny and interesting but I bet that if I trow my hands inside anything fizzy I would get the same sensation. Its was tingly and fizzy and funny lol . 

The scent was HORRIBLE I have a very very sensitive nose to any scent but when it comes to yummy or in this case EWWWWKY scents Im the master lol. I totally dislike the scent of chlorine , I can smell it from miles away and get a massive horrible headache , and this product had a covered chlorine scent to it , it smelled like baking soda which I think was covering the rest of the chlorine scent but the chlorine was still pretty noticeable.

The packet stated that the product would moisturize nails and cuticles and cleanse any yellowing basically within 5 minutes , I was holding my breath as much as I could because I did not wanted to give a false statement of the product , so I waited the 5 minutes , btw the longest 5 minutes of my entire life. 

Once the 5 min passed I removed the nails from the water and went storming my way to the restroom , before I cleansed my nails with water I saw no change in the coloration of my nails , I was beyond disappointed because I had to put up with the nastiest scent in the whole wide world to have no yellowing removed from the nail, Yes the cuticles were soft, but I believe that if you place you fingers inside a bowl with warm water for 5 minutes you can have the same effect " just saying ".

Overall I WOULD NOT re-purchase this product , I cannot say I wouldn't recommend it because maybe it does work for some people it just happened not to work for me.

I have 1 spare packet that I want to give away not because I want to get rid of it because I could easily go and return it, but maybe I did something wrong or maybe it works for someone else and I need a second opinion thats it.

*pssst only 40 more min for the butter london sale :D

I WILL SHARE ONE OF THE FREE BUTTER LONDON NAIL POLISHES I GET TODAY ( its even harder to giveaway something so nice and free but its to thank you guys lol ) I only need 10 more followers were are so close and I cant thank you guys enough :D 

MY FIRST ZOYA (( MARINA ))

I had never tried ZOYA before, but I've being reading a lot of reviews on ZOYA polishes and I stumbled across some really nice colors, so I went ZOYA shopping.. lol :D

This baby is called MARINA by ZOYA

( note the sky reflected on the bottle :D perfect touch to the beautiful color )

MARINA is a amazing blue-greyish tone, with tiny purple,silver and gold sparkles, this color is amazing for fall time, and I believe it suits any skin tone. Like I mentioned above I had never had the chance to try a ZOYA nail polish IDK why lol. The formulation and consistency of the product is ccreamy BUT not as creamy as Julep. It still glides on nicely. The brush is alright , the level of pigmentation on the product is good but not as pigmented as Julep, you need at least 3 coats ( maybe it varies from color to color ). I will deff. re-purchase a ZOYA nail polish I believe they are worth it but if you make me pick Ill pick Julep over any :D sorry its just the best polish for me , or the one that works for me the best Im not saying other brands are bad or maybe Ill get a Julep color that will make me change my mind. This is my honest opinion at the moment. 

Overall ZOYA is a good product worth the $, GR8 color I LOVE MARINA :D .

HAUL: SEPHORA&CHARMING CHARLIE

HAAAAAUL timee baby yeah !! lol ( silly me )

Ok well I bet we are all used to a "VIDEO HAUL" from Youtube BUT lets bring the groove on to the blog. Dont get me wrong Im not hating on Youtubers' I LOVE YOUTUBE as a matter of fact Im wired to the computer watching all types of videos. It takes some guts to sit in front of a camera and pretend your talking to someone well at least thats my point of view, I tried it and nah not for me I feel I express myself waaay better writting than talking. So I tag you to do a Haul video next time you go shopping lets do it just for fun.

Well since I was like 20 points away from the 500 pointperk I was mmhhm Im gonna go and buy some thank you gooddies for my followers and grab some body butter and I needed some hair ties.

I went straight to the nail polish section and got the cutest 3 different shades I saw :D , some ribbon hair ties and I found those adorable ribbon ties I got onw in my July Birchbox and Ive been wearing that one for 1 month so by now I needed a break hahah I got the neutral colors they look adorable on your wrist and I found that they did not make my head hurt as with some other ones so I really love them.

I was walking around the store for a GR8 smelling bodybutter. I had never tried any products from the PACIFICA brand so I was in that section a good amount of time sniffing everything and I trully like the scents , they were natural and really nice combinations.

I decided to go with PACIFICA COCONUT CRUSHED PEARL LUMINIZING BODY BUTTER , its a amazing coconut scent ( not a headache one ) and it does look like it has some pearl dust , because the glow its amazing it kinda look like High Beam from Benefit but in a cream. I will do swatches and a full review once I try it for a couple of days.

For my 500 point perk they had a cute Benefit one with a full size blush in Dandelion, a BADGal mascara ( travel size and a that Gal sample ) I have a few Benefit cosmetics I thing their packaging is adorable and I use my high beam everyday :D

Ive ben trying to buy a blush but theres so many that I couldnt make up my mind so its GR8 that sephora had one as a freebie.

Picture from sephora website.

Moving on to Charming Charlie :D I love that store but sometimes is overwhelming the amount of color lol I just don know what to get so I went and was bargain shopping hahaaha, and I found some prety good stuff. I got a pair of earrings for $1 , a adorable bracelet from $12 reduced to $5 and a cute cream bracelet that I bought to add some stuff ( I buy simple stuff and add things to it to make it look cool lol hahah or so I think ) 

Well that was my haulll :D now I tag  YOU, yes you if you just came back from Walmart, Target, CVS or so, Show us what you got :D

NAIL POLISH HAUL ( ULTA )

Ok so today my husband had training , meaning he was getting out earlier, than usual. Earlier meaning theres was gonna be sunlight and stores were going to be open, usually I shop online lol.
I told him remeber you said your were going to take me to ULTA, he makes an awkward face and says
"OH YEAH BABE" lol , I make my way straight to the ESSIE section and my plan was was catches your eye GET IT. So I got  ESSIE "LADY LIKE" truly amazing pink-mauve-purplelish color I love it. Then I moved on to the CHINA GLAZE and what made my head turn was "FAIRY DUST" I love the name could not been better, its like a rainbow-shimmer in silver ( thats what I perceived if it makes any sense ). Making my way to the register I bumped into ZOYA and was so undecided between "MARINA" and "CYNTHIA", so I asked my <3bug for his true opinion and he said that "MARINA" was super cool , so I went with it. At the register I saw OPI ( miss universe collection ) and I honestly DIDNOT like much BUUUUUUUUT !! one little guy stood out from the crowd was " ITS MY YEAR" omg its a total jawdropper.

Picture of my little haul :D .. Hope your enjoy ... Swatches coming soon

NAIL-FILES 101

Every woman likes well-manicured nails, but in "real life" theres many factors why women have MANY not so good nail days: work, not enough time, laudry, too many chores, kids etc....

Nice looking nails makes a real difference in ones hands, they look clean, younger and simply it gives thats little something to make an outfit pop. Beauty comes hand - hand with maaaaannny requirements : to always keep them looking nice, no chips on the nail polish have them looking EVEN, and the list goes on.

Its really nice once in a while to go and have your nails done , but honestly in the long run its really expensive. The "regular" mani ranges from $24+ escalating to the lower 100s. Just for a polish that lets be honest it doesn't matter how GREAT you take care of your nails but it WONT LAST for more than 2 weeks and Im going to an extreme with that guesstimate.

I personally recommend to invest your money in a good base coat , nail polish ,top coat and a good hand cream because the constant use of nail polish remover dries out skin really bad so protection is the key.  Yes the 1st you will spend around $50 but can give yourself A LOT of manicures not only 1 as if you go to the spa or salon.

If you're not that great and putting color on your nails the simple fact of having them even and polished makes a statement your give a really nice image on yourself. So I recommend a 4 sided nail file they are not expensive and have all you need to get you started in your way of great looking nails. Don't go immediately and buy the "sand paper" looking ones , they might be too harsh on your nails your have to take it slow and go step by step once you get a little practice and get to know your nails you can go ahead and get something that suits you the best. So grab your self a 4 sided nail file , follow the steps then put on a base coat and top it off with some clear nail polish trust me your hands will have an amazing glow for a fraction of the price on the long run.
