Essence Adorable Matt

TGIF Beauties, it's almost time for the freakin weekend (& end fast it does)!! 

Today I blindly took a lippie from my stash and chose a red matte lipstick I got months ago from Ulta. 

Essence is a UK based brand in case you didn't know and their products are cheap and cute. This lipstick is only $2.99 but it backs up its talk. It's red just the way I like it and it's matte just the way I like it!! This color is a true red called Adorable Matt!!

P.S. peep my way of hiding my pimple above my lip with a made up mole lol.... It works for me :). 

Zoya Fall Pixie Dust 2014

Hi everyone, how are you on this day closest to Monday (ughhhh) lol. I am here trying to nurse my sinus from a huge morning allergy attack of some sort. 

I got these polishes from Zoya before I left for vacation the week before last and I wanted to get back and get these swatches done ASAP. I'm sure you've seen plenty of bloggers' swatches of these but here's my rendition anyhoo...

The Beauty Buffs: Favorite Item Inspired

Hey readers, is that time again... Wednesday anddddddd The Beauty Buffs link up posts.... Yay right!! 

Ok so this time around we must post what favorite item of ours has inspired us. It could be anything and I chose a handbag that I bought myself when I graduated with my Bachelors Degree inCriminalistics. This bag is called the Gucci Medium Boston Bag. I've drooled over this bag for many years until Mr. Nailmattic obliged me with going half!!

I truly adore this handbag, def in my top 5 of must have bags.

Candy Apple Red

Good mornting!!

So I was off yesterday, my son had his first day of school starting as a 6th grader, he came out with good news of it being a good day :))

During the day Mr. Nailmattic and I went to this outdoor Flea Market in Webster, Florida which is only open on Mondays. Browsing the aisles I spotted a table with no name polishes but the bottle shape is CU-YUTE, reminds me of the Apple sign opposite direction!! 

This is a nice a and classy Red which opaque in just 2 coats. They were only $1, I think I saw these in Born Pretty Store but don't quote me!

Friday Kisses with some Cola

Hey everyone and happy Friday, I've had a long week even with a day off on Wednesday, how has your week been?

I'm so happy it's Friday you just don't know. I've been waking up at midnight for no good reason, the good thing is I go back to sleep quickly without tossing or turning. On my nails today I have some nail stickers I got from Beall's Outlet a few months back from the clearance aisle. The original price on these were marked as 3.99 but it was marked $1.99 then I got 30%off with my discount card woo hoo right!! 

I like these because they are made on a sheet instead of the single stickers like the Sally Hansen salon effects, those tend to dry out once you open the packet. 

The red polish I'm wearing is from the OPI Coca Cola collection, it's called Coca Cola Red. 

Have a great weekend!!

Avon Speedry- Mambo Melon

HAPPY FRIDAY FOLKS.... if you're off on the weekends then ya done good for the week, you made it; WE MADE IT!!

All week my job has been telling us to wear something red in honor of Women's Heart Disease and I chose to wear red nails and sneakers instead of the traditional red shirt.

On my nails is a polish by Avon Speed Dry called "Mambo Melon". I had no intention for this brand, I did one of those shut my eyes and pick moves when I was looking for a polish to wear. SOME of my red polishes are together like my pink polishes. 

I'm pleased with the formula it is thin but not streaky. Here's 3 coats... I only did 3 coats because I wanted it to be really red, however you'd be good with 2 coats.

Have a fun, safe and relaxing weekend.

30 Day Nail Challenge Day 21- Flower

Hi peeps I know I'm a day late but better late than pregnant lol I meant never lol.

Today is flower nails for the challenge and I just chose some simple looking flowers nothing too fancy shmancy! 

I used two untried polishes from Paula Dorf's collection. The red polish is called "Runway" and the blurple polish is called "perfectly purple" I really enjoy the formula on these polishes, you can't beat two coat opacity!

30 Day NC Day 10- Plaid

Ok I'm gonna tell y'all from jump that I did not put my best foot forward with this design. I'm getting ready to go out of town for 5 days and I really rushed this design.... I know, not my best look. 

If it's any consolation, this red polish by Salma Hayek is an untried polish of mine; it's called Cayenne. This red is really rich looking but I've only applied two coats for opacity. I still needed to throw more clothes in my bag and look over a homework assignment so I was pressed for time.....

I vow to challenge this plaid design again one day in the near future.... Maybe I'll do a re-post to this before the challenge is over.... In the meantime I am in dire need of new nail art polishes, my current ones are gooey & thick....

Lollipop

U know I would have never thought I'd like red polish on me as much as I've grown to love it on my talons. Now red lipstick I know I'll never like on me, it's just not for me.

Today I'm wearing another Essie polish I got from Big Lots for $1, yes $1. There's nothing special about the formula but just that it's user friendly and opaques in just two coats.

Oh and I did a little tape design on my accent nail ring finger too :).

Have a happy Friday y'all!

Bonfire

Hi ladies, I hope your week has started off in a prosperous manner. I'd like to show you my current mani that I've been wearing for the past two days.

Meet Bettina's polish "Bonfire", it is from the Resort collection released a while ago. It is another orangey-red color that glosses without a top coat. I've only applied two coats for my opaque needs. 

October nail challenge Day 1- Red nails

Hi ladies, my best homegirl and I have decided to take part in a challenge this month. I've seen this going on last month but didn't want to jump in during the middle. By the way my girl has started her own blog as well so go and check hers out here at lacqsofluv when you're free, thanks.

Today is RED NAILS so I decided to use 2 DS (dead stock) polishes, one is Butter London's "Macbeth" and the other is by Color Club from their glitter collection. One thing I don't like about buying Color Club packs in TJMaxx, Ross and etc. is that some of the packs don't name the models of the polishes.  I don't normally wear a lot of red  nails but being that it's fall I don't mind wearing it and whenever I can add some glitter, I do generously.

Thanks for looking :)

Enjoy Red Light Special a throwback jam by TLC.

Pop that thang

I'll be away for the next 5 days so don't send a search party out for me, I'll be back!! Today I used the American Apparel "Poppy", which reminds me of red-orange color in person. I love this color on me!! I think its texture and shine really pops. See u when I get back, I may pop in with a quick post if I go on a polish haul.
