MUL: "Winter in Moscow"

Happy Hump Day!!! The weekend is almost here! I purchased this palette months, months ago. I had gone insane trying to get my hands on this, b/c at the time I was in desperate need of a 'smokey eye' palette. By chance, I found this at my local Ulta. It was the last one and it was tucked and hidden away behind a bunch of other stuff.  I was ecstatic and relieved b/c this was sold out on the NYX website. Bought it and then it got lost in the pile along with the rest of them. I was feeling extremely fierce, so I wanted a look to match! so dug into my stash and low and behold guess who came through for me?!! Enjoy!

Bombshell Nails: Yellow Nails!

So I had enough of the acrylic! Now please understand that I have a love/hate relationship with acrylic. One minute I want them; the next they aggrevate me and I want them OFF! This was the case here, so I chewed them off one by one. (I don't recommend doing that b/c it further damages your nails) But regardless, what's done is done, right?! So now I am doing the shellac/gel manicures temporarily. These polishes are advertised to give your manicures a life line of 14 days! The only issues I have with these is that the color selection is limited-hence why I am doing this on a temp basis and why I always end up with tips again!  

This is perfect for Summer! It's trendy, fresh and citris-y! Lol! That was last part was a force. Lol! I guess the real key to this look, is finding the right shade of yellow that compliments your skin tone. When rocked corretly, it is the perfect Summer accent to your wardrobe. I really love effect the polka dots, here!  It adds a layer of playfulness to the overall look without making it look kiddish!  What do you guys think? Would your try yellow nails?!!

Later, Bombshells!

MUL: "Nude's on 40"

I'm am absolutely baffled by how fast the Summer came and went. We are at the home-stretch! Pretty soon, it's going to be back to the parkas, wool sweaters, high boots and SNOW!!!! (at least for us living out in the East Coast). So while there's still some sun and nice weather, I'm rocking it out! no holds bar......Shall we continue with today's look?

I love the way this orange looked against my skin tone! I toned it down a bit with MAC's Cushy liner, b/c I felt the orange, alone, was just way too bright for where I was going and also b/c I don't currently own an orange lip liner. I am searching for one, so if you guys know a good one, holla at yo' girl! I would defintely like to rock this the way it was meant to be rocked!
