TNCC Inspired by fashion look 4

Season Finale lol.... Hey people Happy Monday (don't shoot me I'm just the messenger lol).

Today is my final look #4 for The Nail Challenge Collaborative for Inspired by Fashion themed nails. For this look I just googled Fashion Week New York 2015 and save the pic to my phone. I don't even remember who the designer is but I love the design and colors--so spring/summer. I used China Glaze "Ever Glaze" polish called "Wednesday".

TNCC FASHION look 3

Happy Saturday beauties!!

I am enjoying the weather today, it's so beautiful outside I refuse to sit in the house!! Anyhoo, check out by third post for the Inspired by Fashion theme of the month for The Nail Challenge Collaborative. I'm inspired by this Love Moschino Quilted shoulder bag that's on my wishlist :)
I'm also using for the first time this China Ever Glaze polish called Faux Your Love. The formula was a little thick for my liking but with a little polish thinner I dumbed it down to a better average formula (not thin or thick).

Have a wonderful weekend!!

China Glaze Electric Nights Watermarble

Good morning and TGIF, I have had a productive and quick week, what about you all?

You all should be an eye witness to the new China Glaze collection that has been bum rushing all the social media networks and FB pages.... This is the Electric Night collection which consists of 9 creme polishes and 3 glitter polishes.

I wanted to see how they performed for water marbling and they worked fabulously!! I used all the creme colors for this water marble design. Can't wait to use them individually. I picked this up from a ebay seller last week and I got them Wednesday. They are suppose to release next month.

Look out for these beauties.....

Too Faced Cat Eyes Purrfection Makeup

Hey beauties, happy hump day!! I know I'm off to a slow start with posting this week but I manage to jump start my mojo today. The Mr has landed a new and exciting job which he started on Monday so we've been busy managing our time, we now work the same hours M-F (yippee)!!

So let me show you all this little goody box I purchased from Ulta on Monday. I don't own any Too Faced products, this caught my eye as it was displayed right by the door (they know what they're up to lol). It is $35 plus you get a free gift. 

You can see from the pics the eyeshadows are named cat-affiliated. I love the leopard print brush and the color scheme of the eyeshadows. As a gift you get a Better Than Sex mascara, another eye primer cream and a black eye pencil. 

Do you own this product? If so, how do you rate it?

NYC Color Makeup Your Spring

Hi people!

I purchased some items from the new NYC Color Demi Lovato LE "Makeup Your Spring" collection. This collection I found in Kmart. The collection consists of 3 polishes, waterproof mascara, 2 eyeshadows, blush sticks and lip color crayons; prices vary.

I tube a YouTube video showing you all what I picked up so if you get a chance you should get out the video at www.youtube.com/Nailmattical.

I was anxious to see if these polishes are water marble worthy and they are. However, once I turned on my fan the polishes wouldn't spread as quickly in the water.

Check out what I came up with.

TNCC Fashion Inspired Nails Look 1

Hey everyone, clearly I'm losing my mind or I'm just running on fumes for my memory cause I totally forgot I hadn't posted my first look for The Nail Challenge Collaborative fashion themed nails for the month. So I am getting to it right now....

I'm using a pair of jeans from American Eagle that I got at least 2 years ago I believe. I love these distressed jeans look. I choose to try to dupe this design on my nails....

What about concealer? I use a variety again, E.L.F HD concealer, Ruby Kisses, Ofra Cosmetics or LA Girl

Do you know your undertone color? No, I'll check into that

What do you think about fake eyelashes? I wear them occasionally, I like to wear mine short or only on the end corners of my eyes. I don't care for the dramatic ones.

What brand of mascara do you use? Ofra Cosmetics & LA Colors

Eyeliner or Not? Eyeliner (come on now)!

The Beauty Buffs Inspired by a TV Show


Hey you!! I know you must be saying to yourself dag it's been a minute since TBB's have posted, yes I know I'm with you. There's been a slight change in the moderation of the group but it's only for the purpose of keeping what he have going.

So we took a vote for this month's first theme and the winner is Inspired by a TV Show.

For my TV show choice, I'm not going to say, just take a guess (keep in mind I am NOT an artist lol). I'll give you a hint, they're the ladies of Springfield.
