NOTD: China Glaze in Twinkle Lights







I have been a little AWOL for a couple weeks now. With classes started back up and me taking 6 damn classes + working full time = EXHAUSTED. On Wednesday I came back from San Francisco. Ammmmazing trip. When I was 13 I knew I wanted to live there, and this further proved it. Pictures to come later, I promise.


This color is from the holiday collection ( I think). I have a big bag of polishes to swatch and makeup to test out from my birthday and Christmas.

NOTD: China Glaze - Glittering Garland & Snow Globe


Quick comments before I run to the airport.

Glittering Garland was a disappointment. It didn't seem to apply even. Snow Globe was the essence of holiday snow. Flecks and chunks of white and clear glitter make it up.

NOTD: OPI's I Vant To Be A-Lone Star.





A very strange name that I can't see connecting with the collection. This color really surprised me. It look blah in the bottle, but after applying I saw it in a new light. It's a creamy greyish with hints of shimmers and blue tones.

OPI Serena Glam Slam Spark De Triomphe & White Shatter Set


I took a leap when I bought this set. The glitter is beautiful...but White shatter? uuuhhhh...hmm. I was pleased! The set comes with two nail lacquers, and directions on the back to achieving the shatter look. The glitter is a metallic silvery-gold. Where does that exist?

Halloween 2011 - Sucker Punch's Baby Doll


Happy Halloween!!!!!!

Really, realllllly late.And by really late I mean Christmas. EEEEK! I have been ridiculously behind on posting. Life got in the way. Now that I have finished up my internship and on winter break, I plan to pump out these posts I owe you guys. Classes start back up in January, so I plan on being dedicated to my blog!

Anyways, Halloween as usual, was AMAZEBALLS! I went as Baby Doll from Sucker Punch. I ended up having a groupon for a costume store and bought the french flight attendant costume and used it for Baby Doll. My makeup was very simple. She has this whole innocence thing going for her.

In case your wondering....YES, I have extensions in! :)

What were you for Halloween?
