Gel FingerPaints Polish

Get ready for some gel polish to knock your socks off. Lots of bright playful colors for your fingers and toes. You can find all these great colors and more at Sally Beauty Supply
These 1 step gel polishes from Finger Paints cure in a UV or LED lamp but require NO topcoat or basecoat. That's a real time saver. Removal was normal removal for a gel polish.
These little guys retail for around $10.49 at Sally Beauty Supply

1 Step Gel Polish

I did this fun little mani using Hue Better Run For Your Life! right before my daughter and I went to the zoo! Only thought it was fitting! :)

Hue Better Run For Your Life!: A neon coral cream gel polish

Pinky & Middle fingers: My Sketch Pad or Yours?

Pointer & Ring fingers: Monet a Trois

My Sketch Pad or Yours?:A neon shocking pink cream gel polish 

Monet a Trois: A bright. vivid  purple cream gel polish 

Pinky & Middle fingers: That's Your Perspective

Pointer & Ring fingers: Lilac Lithograph

That's Your Perspective: A fun shimmering coral gel polish
Lilac Lithograph: A pale lilac shimmering gel polish

I have to say I am definitely a fan of not having to use a topcoat. Any extra eleminated steps is always a plus when using something like gel polish. Please make sure you read all of the label on the bottle and apply correctly so as not to damage the health of your natural nails.

Rimmel & a little NYC cosmetics

I had the pleasure of playing with some fun eye and lip makeup for NYC and Rimmel over the last few weeks. I'm very excited to share these with you. I found some really fun stuff that I'm super pleased with. Starting with NYC......

Show Time Kohl Kajal Eyeliner

Deep Brown, Deep Grey & Purple Glam

These were very pigmented and held in place for my 10 hour day. Nice and creamy, they didn't smear or run. Super pleased and am on the search for more colors.
These retail for around $2.99 wherever NYC is sold

Deep Brown, Purple Glam & Deep Grey
Nice tip and structure

Deep Brown, Purple Glam & Deep Grey 

Swatches on unprimed skin (one stroke)

I used the Deep Brown liner in this look. I wore great all day. 

NYC Get It All lip color 

ExtraordiBERRY, PINKdigious & ImpREDssive

Creamy pigmented lipstick. Has a very distinctive fruity scent. Lasted like a normal lipstick would. Definitely a good buy on a budget

These retail for around $2.99 wherever NYC is sold
