Wonder Woman!

Hey there!
I thought since Halloween is coming up I decided I should do something related to that.
So... I was looking through millions of Halloween costumes online and the idea hit me!
I should do costume themed nails!
The creativity began.
My very first costume theme is: Wonder Woman!
I'm sure you got that from the title.
Lets get to it!
Hope you enjoy! :)
Are you going to be Wonder Woman for Halloween this year?
 
 


Essie Mezmerised, Color Club Style Icon, Julep Oscar, Pure Ice Jaguar, two Milani polishes and dotting tools.

And this was my practice "W"! Turned out way better on paper :p


Okayyyyyyyy! Thanks for reading!
Hello new followers!

Monday Questionnaire!

Hi guys!
So, as I was going through all of my favorite blogger's posts from today I saw a post from Allison that was titled: Monday Questionnaire. Now I'm sure some most of you have heard of her.. she makes amazing videos on youtube and is super duper sweet! I literally watch like all of her videos.
Plus her make-up is AMAZE-BALLS! :D
Anyway, I decide I would do the exact same thing.. it looked fun!
PS: You can do it too ;)

Since Taylor's new album Red came out today... why not include a picture of the lovely lady!

1.) Mood:
Energized (I know, weird being that it is Monday!), but I've had my coffee and my co-workers are a blast so they make Monday's do-able! Plus my day went really fast so that's exciting! :)
 
2.) What was the best part of your weekend?
My softball team winning 1st place in playoffs.. woah DANG!
 
3.) If you HAD to choose one: drastic hair color change, or drastic haircut?!
Drastic haircut... I'm thinking Miley Cyrus drastic. :p
 
4.) Current nail polish:
Zoya Avery (you're so shocked.. I know) with Nicole by OPI Rainbow in the S-Kylie on top.
 
5.)You're carving a pumpkin... what do you carve?
This:

6.) Current outfit:
Grey dress pants and a black sweater with black suede flats and rainbow colored earrings. :)
 
7.) Are there any TV shows you are really loving at the moment?
I've been obsesssssssssed with 90210! I swear, I 'm addicted. It's so juicy and amazing!
 I've also been loving New Girl and The New Normal.
 
8.) Do you change your makeup routine with the seasons?  How is it different for fall?
I have been using brown eyeliner subtly above my top eyelashes to darken up a little (in case you were wondering.. I never usually wear eyeliner at all) and have been using a more barbie pink blush. I don't know.. I just think it looks really pretty in the fall/winter. :)
 
9.) Are you dressing up for Halloween this year?
I want to! Maybe as Effie Trinket, Poison Ivy, or Holly Golightly!
 
10.) Weekly goals:
To save money! This has been a goal of mine for awhile now because I want to buy a house before Christmas! So I need to be more strict! Mayyyyybe since I have written it on my blog I can follow through! :)

Mismatched Chevron

Hello, hello!
I have been extremly lazy today.. surprise, surprise!
Saturday's do that to me! :p
Am I still in sweats? Umm.. yes!
Have I wasted my day watching youtube videos and scanning nail art pictures? Absolutely!
Have I completed a manicure? Sure did! :)
So let's get right to it!
I've been wanting to do chevron nails for awhile now and just never got around to it.
So finally, I drew some inspiration from fashion and went with it.
I found a picture on weheartit of a girl in a chevron top with hot pink shorts!
I will include a picture below because it's pretty lovely.
I incorporated my favorite thing ever... glitter!
Flowers, hot pink, and of course chevron! Because that's what this mani is all about.
Colors used: Fancy Fingers Screamin Fuschia, OPI Teenage Dream, NYC Black Lace Creme
a no named white OPI polish and a Milani precision polish in White Canvas..
OPI Teenage Dream is my favorite glitter of all time! Just look at it! :D
 



 
 
Where my inspiration came from:
 
 
Thanks for reading!
I have some special Halloween posts coming up next week!
Have a lovely day!
 
 
C'est fini!

Velvet Nails

Hi everyone!
How are ya'll doing?
Today I'm very exited to be doing my first review of a product.
I was contacted by Born Pretty Store asking if I would like to review a product.
I, of course, said yes!
So as I was browsing the site I found that there were tons and tons of products to choose from.
It was really tough to decide what I wanted to get when finally I came across flocking powder!
I knew this was exactly what I wanted to try since there has been so much rave about velvet nails.
Without further ado...
 
I received navy blue flocking powder, a small brush, and a pair of tweezers.
You can find the kit here: 4464
 
 
What I did to achieve this look was paint my nails a navy blue shade. I let the polish dry a bit to get tacky then I used the tweezers that came with the kit to grab some flocking powder. I used a generous amount of flocking powder on each nail and pressed gently. Next I used the brush to wipe away the excess powder. Here is what I got!
 
 
 

 
I love the texture the flocking powder gives. It is SO fun and I have been petting my nails all night! :p Honestly, it is so much fun to do. 
The only thing I found was that little fuzzes stuck to the flocking powder (I guess it probably didn't help that I was wearing and angora sweater :D).
I will definitely be purchasing more colors! Possibly red next? We'll see!
If you would like to check out the Born Pretty Store you can use coupon code HHL91 for 10% off your order!

C'est fini!
