"They're here!" One of the most notorious lines in horror cinema, that transcends from generation to generation. Or really, I believe it should. Don't worry, I wasn't taken over by poltergeists or fell into a coma. I was trying to get myself to blog, but I truly lost the motivation to do so. I stopped being inspired and that is something I fear. I went from that girl who dove into her makeup cabinet, spending hours playing and creating to going day to day not wearing anything. SCARY! 

After a few nudges, a couple (light) threats and you use talent speech, I'm jumping head first into the pool again. I've missed rambled and swatching, not to mention doing some crazy makeup looks. I'm a little out of practice...but what's that saying?

FOTD: November GNO



Omigod, it has been ridiculously long since I posted my makeup. But the few times I have created something out here, its dark or I just forget. The lighting in my apartment is terrible...just terrible. I threw a few things together before I went out on Friday. I'm part of meetup, if you are familiar with that site...and went to Vanity Nightclub at the Hard Rock Hotel. It was ladies night, which meant open bar for an hour! It was a really fun evening with some great ladies. Anyways look below for my products used....

NOTD: Wet 'n Wild in Under Your Spell





I bought this during some promotion from Walgreens for 99 cents. No major less if I didn't like it. And guess what? I don't. It took 3 coats for it to gain its opaqueness. And without the flash on it proved to be very dull.

Brand: Wet 'n Wild
Collection:  n/a
Color: burgendy, blood red, slight shimmers
Name: Under Your Spell
Retail $: $0.99
Rating: D




NOTD: China Glaze's Metro Collection in Urban Night


Happy Saturday! I have had part of the Metro Collection sitting in a box for almost a year. GAH! For my birthday last year, my brother bought me the collection. Okay, I picked it at at CosmoProf then he bought it. haha.  I'm breaking these babies out. As usual China Glaze has great, strong pigmentation and applies like a dream. This is not one of my favorite shades of purple, but a great fall color none the less.


Brand: China Glaze
Collection: Metro
Color: deep purple, plum, cream finish 
Name: Urban Night
Retail $: $5.99
Rating: B

Sometime Wet 'n Wild is a hit or a miss. And the new(ish) brush that is supposed to be full nail coverage. Not totally nail coverage, but still a win! Ahhhh, feel so good to have nails again.

Color: deep purple, plum
Name: Disturbia

NOTD: Reach Out by Nicole


Oh, my Nails of the Day how I have missed you! Luckily, I have some photos left in my library to make some posts. I haven't had the pleasure of getting my nails done since I have moved. They look as sad as I feel about it. But since I must be very careful how I spend my money until I get a new job. :( First thing I will be doing once that happens is getting to the salon! haha. 

Nicole is one mainstream brand that I haven't bought before. Mainly, because I can never find Nicole on sale or my trusty website with amaze balls deals. 

Brand: Nicole by OPI
Collection:  n/a
Color: fading baby pink
Name: Reach Out
Retail $: $7.99
Rating: A

I'm Alive!

Hello my lovelies!!!!

It has been a long time. 4 months and no posts. Let's be real, 2012 has lacked...

Previous years I have been more consistent, but life sometimes gets in the way. I finally graduated from Kendall and I moved across the country. After much nagging and teasing I have been convinced to start a travel/new life blog. I haven't done much with makeup or even my nails in the last few months, but I'm going to TRY to put an effort in. So folks, stay with me...I appreciate the support.

xoxo.
