Valentine's Weekend - Day 1

Before we hit Christmas again, here are the pics of my Valentine's Weekend. This was Friday Feb 12. We went out dancing/drinking. I let the lady who cut my ends play a little with my hair. I don't necessarily love it, but I don't hate it. I also got a mani/pedi and had my eyebrows done. Woohoo me!

-Dress from Forever 21

-Ring and shoes from Bakers

-minty nail polish is from Icing and it's called Mint 2 Be

-toe nail color is also from Icing and it's name is Champagne Bubbles

I love those shoes!!!! They're extremely comfortable and just plain dreamy. I always get compliments on them. Ohhh and speaking of compliments that day as soon as we walked into bar #1, this lady came up to me behind my back and poked me. I turned around and she said "Excuse me, I'm sorry, I came from across the room to tell you that you look amazing" "You're beautiful, I love your dress". I just mumbled thanks, and when I turned... the honey's face was just PRICELESS!! We left after I chugged my sangria.

I did my makeup this day, and loved it!!! I kinda can't believe I did it. Don't worry I'll be blogging all about that soon!

InStyle Nails

Or nails in style, however you want to call them, but these babies got me a LOT of compliments, plus they look soooo coool! And of course I didn't spend a dime [but I do own a lot of nail polish] and it only takes about 3 minutes longer than it would normally do.

I got the idea from InStyle Magazine, September issue, which also happens to be their 15th anniversary issue, and it features Jennifer Lopez on the cover. Go Puerto Rico! It was on their Beauty Trends section and the article is called Power Points. Now, how cool is that?!

That was the page, and the instructions of the magazine say: Step 1: Gather your materials: a deep purple polish, a creamy white polish, five clean pots (or disposable plates), and toothpicks to mix (InSTyle Mag). Now, to this I added an extra nail polish applier brush thingy [do they have a name?]. Because I didn't want to ruin either my purple or white's brushes with the mixture. Also, DO NOT use foam plates, use paper ones. The chemicals of the nail polish on the foam ones causes erosion and it's not pretty. Step 2: Pour out four dime sized blobs of the dark purple, and add small increments of white to each one, creating a gradation of hues. Step 3: Beginning with the original shade on your pinkie, paint each nail a different color (InSTyle Mag).

Remeber my extra brush, I got it from an old nail polish I had lingering around [come on, we all have one...or two] and what I did was, after I mixed them all with toothpicks and watched the erosion of course, I started on my thumb (with the lightest shade), instead of my pinkie, because it really didn't make any sense to start with the darkest color and then with the same exact brush trying to paint with a lighter one.

I used: Sally Hansen - Lacquer Shine in Flair and Sinful Colors Snow Me White.

Item of the Week

The Perfect Nail Polish

I have a thing [OK, major obsession] for nail polish, I can't help it. Whenever I go to the drugstore I feel like I have to get a new one. Which is probably the reason why I have 7 different clear [yes, clear] and 3 different black nail polish bottles [or containers, or however you call them].

Thing is, I just found the cutest coral polish. It is actually Revlon, and it's called Tropical Temptation [just like me, LOL]. The color's really trendy nowadays, so I bought it. I did my pedicure, about two weeks ago and it still looks recent!! I still can't believe it. I rarely pay attention to the brands [OF NAIL POLISH] that I buy, basically they all look, feel, & take-forever-to-dry to me, but this is definitely my favorite, and I'm pretty sure it cost under $5.00 unless I wouldn't own it. So, I just thought I'd let everybody now of my glorious find. I'll keep you posted if I find anything else that is this marvelous.


Go buy it now, you will not regret it.
