Crazy over Browns!



Wow, it seems like I've been stickng to alot of neutral colors lately. Even on the runways its all about smokey browns and taupes. I always feel like when I wear browns, it should be more of a night time look. But screw that! I do wear this look for work starting in the early morning.
But this one I really didn't try, I was gonna be late for work so I dillydallied with it. Very simple and you can never go wrong with browns cus it doesn't have to be perfect!


Smoke-Me-Out Bronze

One thing I love about going into fall is because of the different color changes. You don't really see the bright colors nowadays. Everyone is going towards the darker hues and neutral shades. I decided to do a smokey brown bronze one day. I actually only used 3 shades along with a hilighter for the brow bone.

Dream Start

Reaching out, fingertips pointed towards the world
however life isn't as simple as just a twirl.
There are much great things bound out there
yet with no experience, you develop these fear
Moving from that comfort zone oh so familiar
to somewhere that may not be similar.
Starting from base one may seem quite hard
and leaving your family could break your heart
But I tell you, life is full of wonders
you can't sit around with all these ponders
Don't just dream away, turn it into reality
Live it up with no regrets nor self pity.
Discovering independence is a key value
for when all else may fail, you'll still have you.

Updated Look

My hair has finally grown!!! I waited sooo long so that I didn't have to purchase hair extensions.
Well, this is a short post cus I've gotta head out to bed. Have a great nightie night!

















Fall Nail Lacquers

oH my goshness! Its already gonna be fall, it felt like I had waited all year long just for summer to come but it flew by sooo quick already. But even better yet, now I look around and fall fashion is hitting it in style. I can't wait to wear boots and wear those trendy jackets!


Already at work, everyone is shifting to fall colors such as burgandy reds, plummy purples, chocolate browns and dirty oranges!


However the "It" nail polish colors for fall are actually more of dark navy blues, forest greens, and metallic purples.


OPI's just got there new fall collection called OPI Swiss, and they've got some lovely shades too!


I haven't been able to sport any nail polish on my hands as of lately because it always chips off the next day since I have to wash my hands soo much through out the day. So the only time I get to wear polish is on my day off, then literally I have to take it off the next day :(


The only polish I tend to wear on my hands is very sheer colors that won't be too noticable once it starts peeling.


My shade I usually wear now is OPI Hearts and Tarts, a very pretty pearlescent pink that with one application you can just notice the shimmer there. I love it because it brightens up my nails and actually makes it even shinier than just clear polish itself.






HEARTS AND TARTS









These are some of the OPI Swiss Collection that I really like. Keep in mind these are not my swatches, I had just googled these pictures up :D

Nail Inspiration

Whoo, its been one heck of a hot summer for me here in NC! We've been swamped with Prom, Graduation, Weddings and other Special Events at the Spa. So I got inspired to do a nail art based on this Prom Dress. The dress itself is really exquisite and I just love the Print on here.



All of the products I used:


TADaaa!!!!!





Sorry I couldn't get any better quality of this. I did this late at night so I didn't have any good lighting besides flash on the cam. The bow is actually 3d, sculpted from acrylic and boy did it take me a good while trying to make it look right!

MIA-ing

Hey folks,

Yea long time no see on here. As of current I had lost my camera for a while so no pictures taken too recently, but my bf did find it eventually hiding away. And I don't have any internet service at home now so I'm actually at the library using their internet :D
Also work has been excruiciating! I've been working literally 80+ hrs every two weeks so when I get home I just knock out.

But I do promise to get back asap with some new updates! Thnks for being patient and I hope that you guys are having a wonderful summer! Adios

Greetings

Hey everyone,

Thus you've entered into my world!
