Coming up this week...

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been around much this week, I've been on a "mini-vacation"- barbecues, fireworks, nature walks, bike rides and family fun! Thanks for sticking with me!

To all of my fellow Americans, I hope you all had a safe and fun Independence Day! To everyone else, I hope your weekend was great as well!

I ended up doing a patriotic themed makeup look- eyes were MAC Crystal Avalanche, MAC Basic Red pigment and Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Radium. Nails were Rescue Beauty Lounge Underwear with Love My Nails Glory on top.

I didn't get a chance to take a picture before I left for the fireworks, but my nails didn't look too good anyway - that stringy glitter is SHARP! It pokes out everywhere and scratches you!! OUCH!!

Anyway, I'm writing out my plans for this week so I don't forget. I'll be doing:

Reader Requests:
Turquoise swatches for Carla G.
Essie Fall dupes for Diann_co
(Anyone else I may have forgotten?)

Reviews:
Benefit Erase Paste VS Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer
MAC Volcanic Ash Exfoliator
Qtica Natural Nail Growth Stimulator

...and a bunch of random swatches! I like doing random swatches. I have nail polish ADD.

Just so this post isn't too pointless, I'll leave you with a picture.

This is the Rescue Beauty Lounge "New French Manicure." It's Medium White on the tips with two coats of Clear Pink on top.



You can see that the white isn't stark white- it's a little cream or even bone colored. The Clear Pink just adds the barest hint of tint and milkiness to the rest of the nail. This is actually really natural looking for a French.... This is what my nails look like when they aren't stained blue or red or yellow. Very natural, pretty, clean and delicate. I'm not generally a fan of the traditional French manicure, but I would wear this.


And with that, I'm off to catch some frogs and try not to melt!
