Cheering myslef up with Kleancolor's Metallic Pink!

Hey loves!

I’m still looking for a job and going a little stir crazy from being in the house all the time. I must admit that it’s affecting my mood a little bit so I’ve been wearing a lot of bright colors to try to cheer myself up.  I don’t know if it’s really helping but I like to tell myself that it is!

The polish of the day is Kleancolor’s Metallic Pink which was gifted to me by my sissie Mims. This baby packs a big punch of color. I had some difficulty taking accurate pics of this polish (hence the flash) but I did my best. It’s probably a bit more vibrant in real life. Kleancolor polishes do have a stronger smell than your average polish but the price and the fact that a lot of these are one coaters makes up for that one flaw. After wearing this mani plain I decided to spice things up with some stamping on the pinky and index fingers.

Besos!

Sexy nails feat. OPI's Animal-istic

Hey loves!

Just a quick post to show you a swatch of a polish that really caught my eye but that I just haven’t had the chance to wear/swatch yet. OPI’s Animal-istic is a bright red with hints of orange and tons of beautiful shimmer. This polish goes on quite smoothly though some might consider it a little runny if you compare it to the consistency of a cream polish. Carefully wiping the excess off of your brush will help you avoid flooding your cuticles.

This shade is mad sexy. I don’t know if it’s the shimmer or the overall juicy look of this lacquer but I do know that it’s muy caliente. Totally made for the grown and sexy and luckily for me I just happen to be both of those things. Ha!

Besos!

What shade do you throw on when you want to feel sexy?

 

My Nail Polish Obsession Tag!

Hey loves!

Today’s post is another nail polish tag but this one is a video. I’ve been watching these on YouTube and figured I’d record my own just for fun.

Enjoy!

Tales From The Bin feat Sinful Colors' Happy Ending

Hola!

I plucked this baby off the top of the lacquered mountain that has now become The Bin. I seriously need a new rack to control the overflow. Looking at the pile makes my right eye twitch.

Organizational problems aside, I’ll be showing you Happy Ending by Sinful Colors.  I have a "thing" about Sinful Colors, kinda like a love/hate relationship. I want to love their polish but most of the ones I own are duds. Thankfully it isn’t the case with Happy Ending. I really like this green. It’s just so vibrant! Even more than I was able to show in the pictures.

The switch up.

I finally decided to try a Russian one-stroke design. Since the base color made me think of spring, I decided to try to make white and yellow flowers.  I’m still learning but I like how this turned out. I didn’t  want to take it off!

Enjoy,

Ramblings + nails feat. Sally Hansen Blue-Away

Hi guys!

The week has been kinda so-so… Unemployment sucks. Not much else to be said about that lol. Other than that, my cat Jackson is alive and scaring the crap out of my kids. They love him to death but he’s been on some hunter mode where he just jumps on everything! If I didn’t know any better I’d think that cat was doing crack cocaine. 

Speaking of cats, today’s manicure is dedicated to the felines! This is 2 coats of Sally Hansen Insta Dri  in Brisk Blue for the ring finger and Blue-Away for all the others (also Insta Dri). I alternated the colors for the spots and used a black striper pen to give them more definition.

Love this manicure. I’m a sucker for animal print.

Besos!

My Purple Fixation

Hey loves!

I haven’t made a video in soooo long. Like  2 or 3 months for sure. I want to start making them again. Especially beauty related vids. If you guys have any special requests you can always leave them in comment section.

I was watching an episode of Basketball Wives LA (I’m still trying to catch up!) and Draya (loves her) was wearing this awesome purple lipstick (I think it was matte too). I’ve been on the hunt for purple lipsticks ever since. Check it out.

Enjoy,

Orange Fixation feat. Essie Brazilliant

Hey guys,

Today I want to show you guys one of my latest fixations: orange nail polish.  This was 3 coats of Essie’s  Brazilliant. I honnestly had a hard time getting this polish to apply evenly in two coats so that 3^rd  one was necessary. I love the way this looks in the bottle. The pink duo chrome effect is beautiful but just doesn’t look the same on the nail. Even so, I really like this shade of orange. An eye-catcher for sure.

Besos,

Vee…xox…
