Help Me to 50!!!

Hello Bombshells!
I need your help! I would like to reach 50 subscribers. Will you help me? The rules are simple:

• Join this site (thepinkbombshell.blogspot.com) using the Google Friend Connect and follow the prompts
• and friend me (if you haven't already done so) on Facebook

Once I reach 50 subscribers, I will randomly select a 'subbie' which will be announced here on this blog, as well as my, Facebook page. If they are local (Metro-Boston area), they will receive a fun "exotic look" created by Moi to be featured here on the blog and on my Facebook page. If you are not local, I will send you a gift (maximum value of $50) for subscribing.  Simple enough right??! There's no time limit on this. Once i reach 50 subbies (or more) I will begin the selection process. So check back often!

Let's get it started!!!

Bombshell Nails: "Silver Gems"

I am always looking for fresh innovative ideas for my nails and this by far fits the bill! I am really excited about this product right here. Its beyond cool. This is an inexpensive alternative compared to the Sephora and Sally Hassen nail decals. Nail Bliss (available exclusively at Sally's Beauty Supplies) offers a variety of 'bling' nail decals that is sure to catch attention. I love this! and depending on you this design can last up to 7-10 days, which is way more than what the packaging suggests. It's really easy to apply and take off and it doesn't damage your nails either. Definitely on heavy rotation in my stash!! Loves it! 

Fierce, ain't it?!! (Tyra voice).

Later, Bombshells!

MUL: "Canary Inferno"

I am super excited about this look. It has been a long time since I have done a cut-crease look. I tweeked my technique a bit (so I no longer have to use a creamy base to cut the crease). I am in love with the overall outcome with the exception for the lashes. The lashes, have this glossy finish to it and my camera kept picking up an annoying glare from it. All my pics minus a few exceptions have this white glare that almost looks like lash glue. *Blank stare* Needless to say I will not be purchasing this style of lash from Ardell! Besides that minute detail. I am happy with the overall outcome.

My feelings about this Summer are mixed! I accomplished a lot--this blog being one of them and I also learned a lot about myself. Not to mention, I met some really cool people. So yeah, not bad Summer 2011. I hope everyone's Summer 2011 was everything and more. If it wasn't there's alway next year God willing! I would also like to take the time to wish my bestie Cynthia, a joyful and blissful: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! We going in this weekend!!! ILU, Boo boo!!!

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!

I love, love, love!! Some people may find this a bit much for day, but to each his own! People, please stop sleeping on NYX products. They are really cost effective for the Bombshells on a budget! They are really good quality for the price! Especially if you can get your hands on a palette like this one that does it all! It can go from soft to bold, day to night. it's really up to you and the shadows last! Just a thought! :)

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?!!
