Review: tweets:) - ROFL

On the weekend, as I was browsing around Walmart, I noticed they finally placed up the tweets:) nail polishes.  tweets:) nail polish is from the company Tweets Cosmetics, who developed a nail polish that is water-based and supports healthy nail growth.

Tweets Cosmetics decided to name their polishes with short text names, which I think is funny.  You could see the other names on their site: here.

I decided to pick up ROFL (Rolling on the Floor Laughing), since I felt like I needed more orange polishes in my stash.  Not to mention I was drawn into the shimmers that glistened within the bottle.

Review: Polish Addict - In Bloom

Today I would like to share with you an Indie polish, In Bloom, from the Polish Addict company.  Laura and Crystal, the owners of Polish Addict Nail Color, recently had a sale and I wasn't sure what to grab so I just grabbed one which caught my eye the most.

Polish Addict Nail Color was created by Laura since she has a huge passion for nail polish so she wanted to create her own.  Honestly that is the best reason to create your own items.  I am super proud of her that she did, cause her nail polish collection thus far that she created look simply pretty!

For today I would like to share with you this cute pink dotted waterproof eyeliner by Yanqina that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.

Today's review is something very different from my usual post.  It's on a Lilly Brush that I received from iFabbo for review purposes.  iFabbo is an international organization that works with fashion, beauty, and lifestyle bloggers and publishers.  Make sure to check out iFabbo and join it.  It'll take awhile to get an approval, but it never hurts to try.

Review: Sleek Makeup i-Divine Ultra Matte V.1 Brights Palette

Today's review is a palette I came to learn to love.  I had it ever since Christmas, which was given to me by my hubs.  He knew for awhile I wanted this palette, but never bought it.  Sleek Makeup i-Divine Ultra Matte V.1 Bright Palette is not your average sort of palette.  This is a very colorful palette that might be intimidating to those not use to dealing with colors for eyeshadow.

Sleek Makeup claims that: Ultra Matte is intensely creamy, highly pigmented colors that are super blendable.  These mineral-based eyeshadows are so smooth in texture that they are ideal for contouring eyes and creating multi-dimensional looks.

Back to the Basics

Lately things have been a bit hectic for me.  Mostly just been seriously busy, and the up and downs of drama.  Who wants that right?!  Well I barely have time to do any nail art or it has been no motivation.  Awhile ago I was able to actually sit down and relax around my nail polish.  I went back to the basics and did a simple leopard print.  

• ORLY Bonder for base coat
• Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat
• Illamasqua Nomad
• Illamasqua Prosperity
• Wet n Wild Megalast Nail Color Disturbia
• Black Acrylic Paint

The gold flakes on my ring finger are from BornPrettyStore, and I honestly love these things!  One of my best friend Emily, sent me a few a while back and I ended up buying more sheets!  They are just so simple to use!  You get twelve containers that are filled with gold orange green sort of foil sheets.  They cost only $6.28!  Don't forget you could use my code "LARJ61" to get a 10% off your purchase!

So there you have it that's what is on my nails at the moment.  What do you have on your nails?  What have you been up to?  

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Review: Hard Candy - Jubilee & Fantasy Makers - Once Upon a Time

Today I have swatches of Hard Candy's latest new polishes called Jubilee to show you.  For some reason I decided to pair it with a nail polish I haven't used for a while that is also a glitter polish, Fantasy Makers Once Upon a Time.

I love how much glitter is packed into these small bottles and not to mention jelly base!  

Review: KKCenterHk Seemingly Pearl Red Bow & Heart Tree & Girl Water Decals

Today I would like to share with you two nail art decorations that I received from the online shop KKCenterHk for review purposes.  

• Seemingly Pearl Red Bow Nail Art Decorations
• Heart Tree & Girl Water Nail Art Decorations

At first I wanted to split up the reviews then I realized these would look nice together.

The Heart Tree & Girl water nail art decorations is $2.82 per a sheet and comes with 22 images.  They are simple but yet very eye catching.  I love how there is a silhouette of a girl and there are flowers in her hair that enhance the image more.  I think that is what drew me into these water decals.  I love flowers and swirls!  

When using water decals make sure after you place the image upon your nail that you dab it with a tissue paper or whatever your preference may be.  If you do not, and you place a top coat over it you are risking the chance of it being ripped in the process.

The Seemingly Pearl Red Bow nail art decorations cost $5.60 for about 50 pieces.  There were some of the bows where the pinkish under color was actually the bow.  I thought that was pretty interesting and a bonus. There wasn't a lot that was like that.  Maybe about only 5 pieces.  The only issue that did bother me with this was when I placed a top coat over the bow it did bleed.  

• Sinful Colors Orange Cream
• Milani Nail Lacquer A Rose My Lady
• Color Club Sugar Plum Fairy 
• China Glaze Glitter all the way

The heart rhinestones on the thumb were from KKCenterHk as well, and you could see my review for those HERE.  Remember you could get 10% off your purchase with the code JUSTTISEMS.

Have you peeped out KKCenterHk yet?  What are on your nails right now?

Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Review: BornPrettyStore Sweet Candy Bowknots & 2mm Black Rhinestones Nail Art Decoration

Today I have two nail art decorations to show you that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.

The middle finger has pieces of BornPrettyStore's Gold Orange Green Foils, which I picked apart with a dotting tool and place it over a wet base color of Sephora by OPI Ocean Love Potion.  The Gold Orange Green Foils cost $6.28 for 12 pieces.

Review: BornPrettyStore Bright Red Natural Cream Sensational Effects Lipstick 16

Today's review is on a bright red natural cream in shade 16 lipstick, that I had received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  I was curious on this lipstick since BornPrettyStore states on the site: No paraben or preservatives.  A natural product.  Protects lips from environmental elements.

Birthday Look!

I have been meaning to post this up last week, but let's face it I was enjoying my birthday way too much.  Here is the eye look I did for that day:

I finally got around to using my MUA Cosmetics POPtastic and Undressed palette that has been sitting in my stash.  I have done swatches of it but never really worn it until that day.

Review: BK Flower Fragrance Fast Dry Top Coat in Mint

Today I have one of BornPrettyStore's new addition to their top coat nail polish section (it will be found in the regular polish).  It's a BK Flower Fragrance Fast Dry Top Coat in Mint.  I always wanted a nail product that had dried flowers in it, but I never got around to picking one up.  As soon as I noticed BornPrettyStore was carrying a top coat of it, I knew I just had to get it for my stash.
