OPI Color Paints

Hi my beauties!! I know I haven't been posting lately to this blog but it's with good reason, I've been very active on my YouTube channel. I figured if I want more subs & views I'd better get some material for people to watch. I implore you all to give me a look over there by clicking the link on my latest video http://youtu.be/efR2s6WG1Ow.

So today's mani is bought to you by OPI color paints. I got these as a Mother's Day gift, I like these by itself without the silver base coat; it does nothing for me.

On the edge of a fierce fiesta

Hey now beauties, what's up???

What's up with me, just some new nail polish (what else does life offer lol). 

It's a new day, I have on new polish from a new collection, shoot just call me New-New (no Lauren)! Both polishes are newly released. The Sinful Colors glitter is from a collection called Piñata Blast and it's called "Fierce Fiesta". The Orly polish is from the new "Adrenaline Rush" collection and it's called "On The Edge". It's basically a ONE COATER!!

Peep these babies lookin all fierce and shiiiiiii.....

The Nail Challenge Collaborative Look 3

Happy Sunday people, how was your day of giving thanks? My belly is very thankful for all the food I have consumed since Thursday. The Mr and I threw down in the kitchen, y'all just don't know how we got down lol.

Anyway, back to my monthly obligations (in reference to my blog that is) I have look #3 here to share with you all and it's based on another favorite book in my collection. This book is very famous and has been a movie and a play (I've seen both). This book is a reality to many people who grew up in this era and it touches on a lot of real life issues! 

By Alice Walker, I chose her book The Color Purple".

Push & Pur Pull

Good morning peeps!!

I am so not with it today, I am majorly suffering from sinusitis and pressure. I am desperately going to try to get some relief today from antibiotics, I am mainly experiencing pressure in the bridge of my nose and behind my eyes when I move my eyeballs around quickly.

I managed to do my nails last night in a fairly lit room. I am wearing a purple neon polish from OPI's "Little Bits of Neon" collection, this one is "Push & Pur Pull". The pink polish is also by OPI and it's called "Feeling Hot Hot Hot".

Wish me luck with my sinus relief, have a great day!!

I'll take those mulberry skinny jeans

Good morning guise... Top of the morning to ya!! 

On my nails I have two polishes, one is from the Miss Denim collection by L'oreal called "skinny jeans", it's a textured polish & the other is Sally's girl "Mulberry". The formulas for both apply pretty good this is 3 coats.

I am also wearing on my lips a lipgloss I pulled out from my makeup stash, it's Nicki 2 lipglass that has a purple/sheer appearance to it.

Lost Nail Files #2

Senior moment strikes again. Filtering through my phone just now and I see more manicures I've worn and didn't post to Le Blog.

This polish is by Pure Ice, I wanna say that the glitter is called "Over The Top" don't shoot me if I'm wrong. It's layered over Sinful Colors "Amethyst". 

 

I forget the name to this other SF polish 

Lupus Awareness Nails

Hi everyone and a LOUD HAPPY FRIDAY to you all!! 

Today's post is a special post roundup that I am participating in along with my girls over in our Beauty Bloggers of Central Florida group. Eugenia had a grand ole idea that we should do a post linkup in support of the month of May being Lupus Awareness month. M

Many people fail to understand how severe of a disease Lupus is and how its effect on a person's immune system. Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal, healthy tissue. It is known to cause the person to endure inflammation, swelling and damage to their joints, skin, kidneys, blood, the heart and lungs.

Please take some time this month and any month to understand what this disease is and if you can, support all the organizations in search of finding a cure for it. 

For more information on Lupus visit this website  http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/info/lupus/.

For this mani I used Orly's "Saturated" polish from the "Baked" collection. 

Stop by the other ladies who are showing their support for Lupus Awareness month #cflbeautyblogger.

The Beauty Buffs: Radiant Orchid

Good morning everyone! Happy Hump Day to you all. I hope your week has been fun and free from stress so far (as easy as that might sound, it can happen). My week has been pretty mundane so I won't complain (Ha that rhymes--go me :). 

So today I present to you another edition from the girls and me over at The Beauty Buffs, this edition we are presented with the challenge of posting in regards to the color Radiant Orchid. It is a beautiful that people don't normally pay attention to and it's also Pantone's color of the year this year. I consider it to be a member the color purple's family.

For my choice, I chose to use an untried polish from Essie's 2013 Neon collection. This is "DJ Play That Song". This is 3 coats of it, in the first pic you'll see it dries with a matte finish which I have no problem with. In the second picture I added a top coat after I designed a few white and orchid polka dots. 

Have a wonderful day and please do a little sight seeing while checking out the other Radiant Orchid posts by the other beauty buffs :)).

Beaded Stucco On You

Hi and Good Morning!! I'm feeling so good this morning and it's not even pay week or Friday lol... Hope you all are in good spirits as well.

I'd like to share with you all what's on my nails today which is 3 untried polishes. I am wearing the last of the 4 NOPI Roughles collection, this one is a lavender color and it's called "I'm Stucco On You". I tell you no lie when I say I adore this entire collection, I thought I loved the Sinful Colors Crystal Crush textured ones but these get much love from me too!!

On my ring and pinky finger as the base color I am wearing a "no cool name" purple polish by Simply Sweet and as for the glitter layover I'm wearing a beaded nail polish I got from Urban Outfitters. The beaded polish is not anything special, it reminds of floam. It's pretty nonetheless and also reminds me of tinier sprinkles. Textured & glittered on you me nails is thee complete nail necessity!!

Have a fab day you all :).
