I really need some "swatch picture 101" lessons, sheesh! I haven't used my camera in quite a few weeks and I guess with all the other nonsense going on around here I completely forgot how to do anything with it lol. It took forever to even get decent nail shots! Ah well, I'll figure it out! :)
Anyways, here are the only two nail looks I've done in probably 2 months lol. Gotta start wearing polish more often!!

I really like how this look turned out :) It has all the color elements of the packaging of York Peppermint Patties, along with the colors of the candy itself! It's also not too over the top, fun fun :)
Not sure why my close up eye pictures kinda suck today.. sorry!!

This is a short 3 video mini series showing looks for blue, green, and brown eyes. I have had a lot of people ask why I am not including hazel eyes, and there is a few reasons: the first mainly being that I just ran out of time before moving to film another video. I really was planning to do a video for hazel eyes, but time got the better of me and I had to pack everything up before I knew it! Another reason is that since hazel eyes tend to consist of a combination of all brown, green, and blue,...

So there was a whooole debate in the comments of this video about whether these were called Candy Dots or Candy Buttons. Either way, you know what they are! (and if you dont, Google is awesome!! ;) haha) This was a fun look to put together, as it incorporates all the colors of candy dots (buttons) without getting too crazy,

Fierce Friday this week was inspired by the fact that I never use my reflects glitters from MAC. They're so pretty and the fact that they are so finely milled makes them way easier to wear than regular chunky glitter.

BLAAAAH. I had a nail disaster today. My window was open like, a millimeter, and it was windy outside, so it was making this loud annoying howling creepy ghost noise. I wanted to film my Fierce Friday look, and the last thing I wanted was creepy noises in the background! I guess I didnt realize that there was actually something blocking the window from going all the way down, and so when i tried to push it down, my fingers slipped and because of that, three of my nails broke REALLY short. normal...
