Happy Valentines.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Just want to say Happy Valentines Day!!! 

Then for my nails I am wearing OPI I Eat Mainly Lobster, OPI Argenteeny Pinkini, and China Glaze Go Go Pink in a water marble. I am excited because in school we are going to learn about this but I already have knowledge about it so I will be just fine. I can show them up with my skills. 

Today I wore pink eyeshadow and mascara and that is pretty much is it. 

That is it for today. <3

Enjoy yourself

Planks A Lot.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

This is one of the polishes that I hauled last week. I actually got 2 more when I was getting hair color this last Thursday. I picked up OPI Off With Her Red ($2.83) and Essie Matte About You ($5). I Love CosmoProf and SalonCentric!!! The prices are so much easier on your pocket. I got to go out and get the prize for my 100 Follower Giveaway tomorrow. Before you ask, yes my nails are false here, Cosmetology school is hard on your natural nails, so I decided that I would get acrylics just for a little.

Planks A Lot came out with the Pirates Of The Caribbean collection last Spring. It is a medium dusty purple that is more on the blue side. It is opaque in two coats, no streaks. This polish can be found in some of the Ulta's in the clearance sections for around $5. You may even be able to find it at a beauty supply store in the clearance.

I also have Mermaids Tears, I might do a post about that one later this week.

Anyway I hope your week has been great. I think I am going to get back to my Pink Wednesdays and try to post more. It is hard since I am doing stuff constantly.

Enjoy yourself

Mermaid Dreams (NOTD).

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Happy Monday everyone. I hope yours was good. I actually went in for Orientation today for Cosmetology school. Yay GO ME! I am going to add a picture of my makeup as well.

Today I decided to go blue. I am wearing Sinful Colors Savage and Revlon's Blue Mosaic. It added like a light blue/turquoise colored glitter to the green of Savage.

As for my makeup I am just wearing Urban Decays Sidecar with Smog in the crease. Black liquid eyeliner and mascara. 

Well I start school tomorrow so I am not sure how my schedule will pan out. My 100 Follower giveaway will be posted within the next two weeks. I am not sure I will be able to do another giveaway until 300 or 500 because I am completely broke. But good things happen to people all the time so we will see how things end up.

Enjoy yourself

Pink Wednesday.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Guess who is already thinking about Valentines Day? This girl right here :) I have never been one for Valentines Day but for some reason I am just in that type of mood lately. Hey what can I say people change.

Today I am just wearing a gradient nail consisting of China Glaze's Go Go Pink, Color Club's Yum Gum, Orly's Basket Case, and OPI's Teenage Dream. Then I stamped with plate SE21  with the two heart designs.I really need to invest on getting Teenage Dream in a bigger bottle because it is such a pretty color.

Anyway that is about it. I'm kind of nervous today because I only have 5 more days until school starts.

Enjoy yourself

Pastel Rainbow. Tutorial

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Sorry I have been a little busy around here lately. 

Today I decided to actually do something different. I am wearing a mani that my friend did on her youtube. 

Step one cut a sponge it has to be really hole-y, kind of like a painters sponge. You can find them at WalMart in the craft section or in Michael's in the painting section.

Then paint lines of color on the sponge. You can choose what colors you do.

Next you want to lightly press the sponge on to a paper, just to get the excess off.

Then place the sponge on your nail and press lightly. You can probably get away doing this to two nails and then you'll have to go back to step 2. 

Repeat step 2 through 4 on each nail, just too make sure that it is on there well. 

I kind of blended the lines a little bit by painting a layer of China Glaze's Fairy Dust.

I find that if you start out with a white base for lighter colors and a similar color if you are going to do darker colors. I used Yum Gum by Color Club, Mint Sorbet by Sally Hansen, You Belong To Me by Essence, and Lav-ish by Ulta.

You can visit PlasmaSpeedo's Page on Facebook or her youtube! She is a really amazing person and has a really quirky personality.

Enjoy yourself

China Glaze First Mate

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I am wearing China Glaze's First Mate today so I figured I would write a little post about it.  

First Mate came out with the Anchors Away Collection for Spring 2011. I would say this is a really unique color because when looking at it in one light it almost looks black but looking at it in another light it is a bright blue color. It is a cream finish. This polish can very well be a one coater but I did two just in case. I haven't had issues with this staining my nail or my cuticle area, so we are good on that one. 

Overall I like this polish. If you hurry you may be able to get your hands on some at Ulta because it is on clearance. I got mine for $3.99, it was a gift but I was there when she purchased it for me.

If you haven't entered my giveaway make sure you do.

Enjoy yourself

In The Moment... Nails.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Very boring day here at my house. I should be applying for scholarships right now but I really can't think. I am sort of tired because there isn't anything to do here.

I am going to be short and sweet today. I am wearing Sinful Colors Snow Me White with Wet N' Wilds Tangled In My Web from the On The Prowl Collection. It really reminds me of a Cruella Deville look, lol. 

Well that is it. If you haven't entered my GIVEAWAY please be sure to. :)

Enjoy yourself

Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Sorry this is a tad bit late at night. I have been semi busy planning for college. I will do a big announcement here soon and I am going to talk to you all the day before to tell you what I am going to wear on my nails and maybe I will do a face of the day before I go in.

Happy Pink Wednesday! I am glad to be doing these again, I kind of missed them. Today I went really simple, I haven't had the time to do my nails too much and my creativity isn't flowing very fast lately. I used two coats of Color Clubs Space Case which is just a bright pink with holographic glitter. I actually don't like this polish as much because the beautiful glitter gets covered by the pink. Then I decided that I would add Correction Tape by Wet N' Wild on my ring finger.

Anyway that is it for today. Happy New Year everyone and I am very sorry that I didn't get to tell you that on New Years but I was kind of busy. I cut my hair today so I might post about that later on, I actually don't like it, I may or may not grow into it but we will see. I might have to go get it cut again.

Enjoy yourself

Soulful Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

How was everyone's Christmas? Mine was okay, got a lot of exciting things. I will be doing a haul but I am not sure when it will be up. I promised you to post on Christmas but I wasn't at my own home. I might add a couple of pictures of the other two days below but I am not sure.

Today I am wearing Sinful Colors Soul Mate which is a very blue based bubble gum pink. It reminds me of Orly's Cotton Candy.Then I stamped a butterfly from SE18, I used Snow Me White by Sinful Colors. It is really simple but very cute and I have done a design very similar when I first purchased the stamping set.

I hope you enjoyed this.... I will be talking to you very shortly so look forward to that. 

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Holicure #6 Snowmen

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Another long day for me here. I was going to do a mix and match but I am going to opt out and just do this Holiday Manicure. Today I have Snowmen on my nails.... Well I have changed it for school purposes. I have Finger Paints Scenery Greenery with Finger Paints Flashy over it.

For the base I am using Essence Color and Go in You Belong To Me. Then I used white acrylic paint. to make the snowmen, ground, and snow, I also used black acrylic paint for the arms, buttons, and top hat.

Well that is it. I am going to be doing an important post on Tuesday and then  all of the promised posts.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

MIX and MATCH #2

Hello Lacquered Lovelies and Makeup Junkies,

Another Mix and Match here. I am going to do maybe one more of these before the end of the year. Today I am going to talk to you about My hair makeup and nails... I went to tour a Cosmetology School here today, I wanted to look great. 

Today on my face I used Moisturizer, Primer, Foundation, and Concealer. For my eyes I used Urban Decay's Smog all over the lid and blended it out with Dark Horse. Then for my eyeliner I used Wet N' Wilds Liquid Eyeliner in black and L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes and Maybelline Colossal in Black. For my lips I used L'Oreals Lipgloss in Polished Pearl.

For my hair I just straightened it and put a black barret on the crown of my head. I really love how it came out. 

Then for my nails I used Finger Paints Romanticism Ruby then over that I layered Finger Paints Flakies in Flashy. It is such a cute  idea. Tomorrow I am going to do my regular Holicure but I am going to have to change it again because I am going to go back to the Cosmetology school for financial aid reasons.

Enjoy yourself

Holicure #5 Christmas Trees

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Ohhhh so close to Christmas I have a feeling this year is going to be great for me. Today is about Christmas Trees. I actually don't like how the trees came out but I am keeping with it. I am going to change it for a MIX and MATCH later today.

I did a blue background China Glazes Secret Peri-Wink-Le and then I used white acrylic paint. For the trees I used OPI's Don't Mess With OPI and then for the highlights of the trees I used OPI's Uh-Oh Roll Down The Window. I was going to add little decorations but I thought that would be far too much.

Well that is it. I am glad to be sitting here and blogging to you right now :) Sorry for my nasty cuticles the winter is doing only but bad things for me today :(

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Holicure #4 Poinsettia Flowers

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I think that a Poinsettia flower is so pretty, they are very unique. I actually wanted to test out the stamping plates some more. The flowers are scattered through out the nails. 

I painted my nails OPI's Bling Dynasty, then I stamped the flowers from SE21. I used LA Colors Art Deco in Red Glitters for the stamps. 

I am so excited for Christmas this year. I actually am opening all of my gifts from my boyfriends family on Christmas Eve because I am going to my sisters for the rest of Christmas Eve and Christmas day and probably won't be back until the day after. I plan on doing a Christmas Haul the day or so after... We will see won't we?

Well I hope you all are having an amazing time this Holiday Season <3

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Holicure #3 Christmas Lights

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

4 more Holicures left until I am done. I am even going to blog on Christmas!! Today I figured I would do Christmas Lights because well they are really common. I did a different twist to them.

I used OPI's Bling Dynasty for the french tips and black acrylic paints for the cord. I used LA Colors Art Deco in Red Glitter and Mint Green for the lights.

Well that is pretty much it. I plan on posting my giveaway within the next week or two. So look for that.

Enjoy yourself

Holicure #2 Snowflakes

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Today is the second day for the Holiday Manicures. Today's is strictly acrylic paint. I have a thing for acrylic paint and nail art. It makes it easier for me to do nail art for some reason. Today I have Snowflakes on a blue and white background. 

I don't really have much to say today but look out for a haul post that I am going to do today!!! I spent entirely too much and I got a giveaway prize that I am sure anyone would enjoy. <3

Enjoy yourself

Snowful Pink Wednesday.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I was actually stumped on what to do for this Pink Wednesday, which is odd for me. 

I did a pink base and stamped a design in two different colors, silver and white. I know the stamp I used actually isn't a snowflake design but on my short nails it actually give off the impression of a snowflake.

For the base color I used OPI's My Address is Hollywood. Then I used Salon Express plate number SE20 and the image with the three little stars or whatever they are. I used LA Colors Art Deco in Silver and White.

What I had on yesterday was a gradient made of blues and it actually stained my nails and skin.

Anyway that is it for today. Psst. some little birdie told me that I am 3 followers away from the big 50 which means I will be doing a giveaway... I will post it after Christmas <3 if I get there before Christmas.

Enjoy yourself 

XOXO

Mix and Match: Nails, Makeup, and Hair #1

Hello Lacquered Lovelies, Makeup Junkies. and Hair Fanatics,

I am starting this new type of post when I want to show you more than just my hair or nails. 

Today I am going to see someone in an institute that doesn't allow jewelry or flashy clothing.I am sure they won't really allow a lot of makeup so I kept it very simple today. Kind of like a pin up style without being too bold. A very tiny amount of black eyeliner and mascara with some gloss and I am ready. 

I used Almay Nearly Naked Makeup in Buff, Wet N' Wild Liquid Eyeliner in Black, L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes in Black, and Revlon's Cherries In The Glow.

For my nails I did some classic red with the tiniest amount of bling to my ring finger. This makes me able to wear this without them being too harsh on what I am wearing. 

I used two coats of OPI's O'Hare and Nails Look Great. Then on my ring finger I added a coat of Northern Lights by INM. 

For my hair I just put it up in a small little poof from my bangs. I may or may not keep it like this since the thing holding it back is a bobby pin.

Anyway I hope you liked this post, I know I am going to. There will be another one up tomorrow since I am going out to lunch with my mom and nana.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Penguinish Pink Wednesday :)

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I saw a post from The Big Bad Wolf post on Penquins, I knew I had to do this design. She did hers on all of her nails and I thought this is Pink Wednesday so I had to incorporate pink somehow. 

A while back I did a post about the Revlon Glitters. Starry ink is a lilac toned pink with small round and large hex silver glitter. For my nails I made a bling finger out of my penguin and then the other nails got two coats of Starry Pink. At first I wanted to stamp on this nail polish but I actually have been wearing this polish since yesterday and just added the penguin today, when I tried stamping yesterday it totally ruined the nail polish. It took this nail polish FOREVER to dry even with a top coat. So I just left it alone.

For the accent nail I painted the nail with the Starry Pink yesterday but I painted black acrylic paint over it. Then I added an egg shaped circle in white on the bottom of my nail and then with the end of a brush I dotted two circles above the egg shape. Then in the center of that I added two smaller black dots. Finishing up I added three small yellow triangles, one under the eyes and two at the base of the egg shape. I made a drawing below to show you how to do it step by step. 

Haha don't make fun of my drawing. 

Anyway that is about it. I can't wait until after Christmas to show you a gift that I got yesterday that I am totally excited for. It is going to make blogging and nail art/ anything related sooooo much easier. Expect a new collection post in about a month or two since I am doing a new collection post every 6 months. 

Just expect that the day after Christmas.... Not to brag or anything.

Ohhhh 10 more followers until 50 followers.I think I am going to try to do a 50 Follower Giveaway but I am not sure. What would you like to see in a giveaway I already have 2 items.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 27

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I actually do my own artwork but I think that would be cheating if I were to do my own artwork for today. I did Ed Hardy artwork inspired nails for today. I hate how it came out. I was going for the roses that Ed Hardy is so famous for.

I used Sally Girl Curfew and then I actually used a rub on tattoo for the design. But what really sucked is that you can barely see it here. The roses actually blended in with the background because it was almost the identical color. 

I am sorry that it sucks so badly. Oh well what can I do?

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

32 Day Challenge Day 26

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I am nearing the end of this challenge. I know I did animal print earlier in this but I seriously love zebra print. This one is different because of the way I did it. I left the polish matte like it is. I don't really need it to last since this was only one day.

I used a really small brush and drew tiny "zebra" stripes with black acrylic paint. I used  China Glaze's Turned Up Turquoise. I did a blog post earlier this year you can find it here. 

I hope you like this. I know I like it better than the actual animal print post that I did in the first place.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO
