31 Day Nail Challenge Day Three: Yellow Nails

When I first saw the Yellow Nails challenge on the list, I panicked (lol). Yellow is a color everyone is trying to keep off their nails (many brands make a yellow stopper), so the first thought in my head was "how do I make it cute?"
Here they are :)

This one was taken with iPhone 4 flash

Here it is in natural lighting

For my yellow nails, I used China Glaze Lemon Fizz and China Glaze Blonde Bombshell :)

I'm glad I had the Lemon Fizz on hand, because that's the only non-neon yellow I own, and I didn't want to go the "easy" route and do a matte neon yellow.

Hope ya like this one :) I like it better than I thought I would.

My first Birchbox!

Yesterday, my first Birchbox came in, and I didn't get home to open it until today
Inside contained
1. Jouer lip enhancer
     -Coming from a chapstick/lip balm addict, I like this product :) not something I'd use as often as chapstick/lip balm, but if I carried it with me all the time I'd use it daily.
2. Kate Spade New York Twirl (perfume)
     - I LOVE this scent :) it reminds me of Mary Kay's Velocity line
3. Thymes Eucalyptus body lotion & Kimono Rose body lotion
    - Not a big fan of Eucalyptus, but I love how my skin feels after using this lotion. I've yet to try the                      Kimono Rose
4. Zoya Noel mini
     -There's no other way to describe this one other than with a picture :)... or three

this one is done in natural light

another in natural light :) against the silver of my macbook

this one is done with iPhone 4 flash :/ doesn't really show the color that well.

5. Alex & Isabelle classic hair tie
     - this is one I'm looking forward to try :) I first saw it on a friend of mine's blog (Rainbows & Sparkles) and thought it would be an awesome thing to try :)

I'm excited about the products I got in this month's Birchbox, and can't wait to see what will come in the next :)

31 Day Nail Challenge Day Two: Orange Nails

Day Two is orange nails!! and here they are :)

I used China Glaze Japanese Koi & Layered one of the OPI Burlesque collection minis over the top of it.
Sadly, I don't know the name of it, because it's not labeled on the bottom, and I lost the box it came in :(

31 Day Nail Challenge Day One: Red Nails

My first blog post (for this blog at least) is going to kick off my start of the 31 day nail challenge :)

Here is the list of challenges for each day :) I'm pretty excited to start this today.

For my red nails, i started with OPI Vodka & Caviar :) to keep it from being a plain cliche red, I added Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat (available at Sally Beauty Supply). This top coat is an iridescent pinkish gold that transforms any color into something shimmery. On the tips I used China Glaze Love Marilyn (from the Eye Candy collection) for some extra glitter and sparkle :)

Definitely looking forward to what I'll come up with tomorrow :) I love layering and sparkle
