Hello Again

Hi Everyone!

You're probably wondering where I went, well, I went no where. I'm just super busy! But I will try to make more posts from now on considering I get hassled every time I go to a party or out. One of the next posts that I do I will include tons of pictures of the nails that I have done in the past, (as my skills have improved since the last posts :) get excited). For now I'll just do a quick post about what I'm currently obsessed with. :) Enjoy!

1. Reese Witherspoon at the Golden Globes

Like really!? I die. I've always been a huge Reese Witherspoon fan but I feel like this look is the best ever for her. She's wearing Zac Posen I believe, I could be wrong but that dress is beautiful! Definitely the highlight of the Golden Globes.

2. Iris Apfel for MAC

One of the greatest MAC collections ever, it's in MAC stores only if you haven't checked out I HIGHLY recommend it. Although the lipsticks were my absolute favorites they've sold out pretty quickly, the store I went to was sold out in two hours. But the nail polish and eyeshadow is beautiful too, I just couldn't buy it all because I had to eat that week.

3. Bath and Body Works Spring Candles

So I'm snowed in and usually I love winter, it's what I live for. This year however, I want spring, I want the sun and it's driving me crazy. Bath and Body Works just released new tropical candles and nothing will make you want warm weather more! My favorites are Green Grass and First Bloom and the big candles are on sale right now! Definitely worth it, however I'm saving mine until I get through my winter candles, I'm currently burning Cranberry Woods which is my winter obsession.

That's all for now! I promise that next time, it won't be six months until you hear from me again.

Review: Sally Hansen's Nail Art

Right before Easter I tried Sally Hansen's real nail polish strips because I was in the middle of moving and it was getting really annoying whenever my nails would chip so I figured that this was a good solution. How this works is you buy a pack and it comes with a buffer, a file, a cuticle stick and 16 nail stickers, however mine only came with 12. You prep each nail by buffing it and filing it down, the package also suggests making sure that your nails are super clean, so no leftover polish! Then you size the sticker to your nail (there's tons of sizes so one is bound to fit) and then peel off the back and put it on your nail. With the excess sticker you file it down to your nail. It's difficult to explain, but it's super simple to do! You can size down the sides too with the cuticle stick so there's none poking out the sides.

I chose the pattern "Girl Flower" but there are a ton of different patterns and Sally Hansen is introducing more later in the spring and summer season. One pack retails for about 10 dollars (CDN) so approximately one bottle of regular polish. It guarantees that the pattern will last 10 days, mine lasted about 14 because I put on a top coat every night after about the fifth day. I would definitely recommend this product just because it's fun change and its so easy. The only compliant that I have is if you're doing it on short nails, the process of putting them on will make them shorter, be weary of that!
