Mac Cosmo Swatch

Hey guys! Today I'll show you my favorite shade from mac!
Cosmo is like my "lips but better" go-to shade. It is a nice neutral pink that is neither too pale nor too hot pink. If you like this type of shade, then i completely recommend this to be part of your lipstick collection! This is a permanent shade that MAC sells so I really think this is a must have for your collection! I love it on its own since it compliments my medium skin tone and recently, I've been loving to pair it with a neutral lipgloss! Holy moly! LOVE!

Abstract Cookie Monster Nails?

Hi there!
I've been doing some "lazy manicures" lately. Meaning, I don't really do any nailart that much anymore as to when I started painting my nails. Guess I don't have that much time due to school :(
However, on this day, as I was finishing up painting my nails, I was shocked when it turned out to look like these!
Googly eyes! (witness some chipping :/ )

It was so weird when the white glitters positioned on the opposite direction of each other with a black smaller glitter on top of both! They then resembles some eyes of cookie monster!
Plus, I randomly chose that base polish from china glaze, and now I LOVE IT! I now have a design that was completely unplanned.
So I guess, there's always some surprises when painting your nails!

Polishes that I used:
China Glaze Towel Boy Toy
China Glaze Whirled Away

Mac Mehr Swatch

Hi there!
So today I want to share with you what I got from Mac.
Mehr is a matte neutral blue pink which I feel complements on every complexions!
                     
      



                I love the color that it gives out when swatched. It just looks very wearable and perfect for everyday color. But on your lips, it becomes lighter and leans a bit pale. I have no idea why though. So, just a quick heads up there. I'll even show you how it looks like on my lips.

         

               
           Overall, I really enjoy this lipstick! Although I was a bit disappointed on how it didn't show up the way I wanted it to be on my lips, I still like how it looks on my skin tone. I feel like this is the most suitable pink for me and possibly the "pinkest" I can wear since I'm not really into pale or barbie pinks.

A random nail polish design that I found!

Hello there! 
So today as i was browsing my memory card, I found this nail polish look that I made but never made into this blog.
Well, I finally am able to post this!



As you can see, this one is glittery!
I used color club's Evolution and Nicole by Opi's Inner Sparkle on top.
Also, on my middle finger I had NYC's Lincoln Square Lavender and Revlon's Girly on top!
I really like this look even though it's time consuming to take the glitters off. (Though you can use the foil removing technique!)

My Minions!

Hi Guys!
I finally did it!
I was able to create my own minions!!


I was inspired by the movie Despicable Me 2 and the fact that it is that easy to recreate! To do the minion, paint your nail with a yellow polish then grab your black nail art striper and make a thin rectangle across your upper center nail. Using a dotting tool, dot a grey shade on the upper center of your nail. Let them dry then on top of the grey dot, dot a white polish and then a black polish to make the minon's eye. Below the eye, use the black striper to make the smile and for its bottom/pants, use a navy blue polish and make sort of a thick french tip on the end of your nail.

China Glaze Bump and Grind


Hi There!
Today I bring you the texture polish of China Glaze in the shade Bump and Grind!

I just wanted to show this new "trend" that is for summer.The finish is very interesting since it feels sandy and rough.This particular shade is so pretty! It is a bright red which is great for all skin tones and I think this is great for summer especially when you're out to the beach or if you want to venture out more to the nail polish world and try out some unusual finishes then go for it! Now because of the texture that it has, it can be hard to take off. I don't know if it's just me or what. However, I'm not really into it that much. I mean I like it when I just applied it on my nails but I get bothered by it later on. I don't know maybe I'm picky or something?
