Happy Valentines Day

As-Salaam Alaikum

Here's my Valentines mani. Very simple.

L.A Colors- Atomic

As-Salaam Alaikum,

I've been on the hunt for perfect teal cyan color for a while now. I spotted L.A Colors Atomic in Dollar General and grabbed it. It looked perfect in the store, right amount of green and right amount of blue. But when I got home the color was off, not the color I was looking for at all.

 

Don't get me wrong, it's a very pretty teal, but leaning more on green side and I wanted more blue. The color pay off is wonderful though, 3 coats and it's quite opaque. Especially with it being semi jelly like. Oh and it glows under black light, I have not tested that out but I'll take their word for it. I mean for $1 you get a great polish that glows. You can't beat that.

 

I decided to mix things up a notch and add a matte top coat and  and some polka dots on the accent nail.

Ulta Vintage Violet + Sally Hansen Strobe Light

As-Salaam Alaikum,

Here's Ulta Vintage Violet paired with Sally Hansen Strobe Light.

 

Vintage Violet is a delicate dusty pale purple creme base with pink undertones. It almost looks more pink than purple.  It went on perfectly with 2 coats. I always underestimate Ulta polishes but when you get your hands one ones like this, you realize the are wonderful.

 

I think Strobe Light adds a pretty affect. I pick up Strobe Light when OPI Katy Perry Collection came out. I was unable to get my hands on Teenage Dream, and I though it was the closest match. Unfortunately it is not quite a dupe, but it still is very pretty. With small pink glitter and larger halo glitter chunks. 

Zoya- Myrta

As-Salaam Alaikum, 

I was in Ulta the other day and they has a bunch of polishes for sale. I picked up a few and Zoya Mytra was one of them. What first struck me was how beautiful the color was. It's a gorgeous orange-coral, with a bit of red undertones. There's also gold and silver shimmer mixed in there which adds to the foil-ish finish.

 

I think it looks great with my skin tone. Application is great, 2 coats is all you need. This really is a beautiful shade. I can not stop staring at it.

Fancy Nails

Mr.Candiipants inspired floral brocade. I thought I'd go with simple black and white.

NYX Color Lip Balm

I was in Ulta yesterday and the first place I go to is the NYX section, then I saw Lip Balm. I don't know if these are new, but they are new to me. I immediately started swatching.  I fell in love with Merci which instantly reminded me of the MAC lip conditioner Fuchsia Fix. I was obsessed with Fuchsia Fix before having a child and realizing spending $15 on a lip balm was insane. It's amazing how cheap that boy made me..(I love him though) After grabbing  Merci, I noticed a small BOGO sticker, so I also picked up Shurkan.

  I find it incredibly endearing that all 12 shade's name means "Thank You" in a different language. These lip balms are incredibly smooth. They make my lips feel silky smooth and buttery. When you put it on there is just the right amount of color, leaving a very natural look. So don't be afraid of the  bright colors they are very sheer. Merci smells very berry. Almost grape-y raspberry. While Shurkan has a hint of berry but not as much as Merci. I absolutely love these
