aep, I usually get Seche Vite at Walgreens or Target.

My Target doesn't carry Seche Vite.
I got all excited at Ulta and bought the base coat on accident thinking it was the top coat. Oh well, I do need a new base.

I bought OPI's Suzi Says Feng Shui as well today. Love it.

^I like that color.

Keep checking for Seche Vite everywhere. I've even seen it in some grocery stores, kind of surprising. If all else fails, you can just order it online too.
 
^Sally Beauty Supply has it for probably the cheapest that I have found. Amazon has it for $5.00 but you have to pay for shipping. Beauty Brands it's $10 I believe. Seche Vite is my holy grail, I would never use anything else.

It's been a while since I've been around these parts - updated Pinterest Stash!

I wish I could keep my nails that long and pretty all the time :p
(unfortunately my bad habit of biting my nails sometimes doesn't help)
soooo pretty :)

1 day post Lasik and no make-up for a week!

I see 20/15! I was -6.50 for those of you who have vision correction.
 
PI - How do you like those liquid sand polishes? I haven't bought any because I'm pretty sure the texture would drive me bonkers.

Definitely want to s/o this Urban Decay Flush palette that I picked up at Ulta a few weeks ago when they did one of their 20% off everything coupons:

It was a tad expensive ($30 normally, I got it for $24) but SO worth it. Holy cow. I usually do not spring on prestige makeup but after I had so much love for my Naked eyeshadow palette, I figured I would give this a go. The bronzer is a great contour color, it isn't too orange or too dark, and it is not glittery either which I love - especially on my super fair skin. The blush is a great pink color and the highlighter is beautiful. I imagine you would spend $30+ on all 3 products individually so the palette is a steal. The Ulta by my house cannot keep this in stock so if you see one, grab it!!

Oh nice, I've been buying that one for years, I love it. It's my summer nail polish.
 
I love that color!! I do an accent nail most of the time. It makes my mani look a little more interesting. I have hot pink polish with leopard print accent nails atm. ;)

Damn it. My phone wouldn't let me quote you...I was replying to scubagirl. Lol.

What's the texture of that like? Plus I'm mad jelly of your Lasik, I'd love to be able to see without glasses/contacts.


I decided to give false lashes a try, they're way easier to apply and wear than I thought they'd be. And they don't look too bad.

Andddd... I finally found the Seche Vite top coat, definitely worth the effort to find it. I no longer smudge the shit out of my nails.
 
Vesper (liquid sand) HATED IT. I am throwing out the bottle after I get my next pedi in 2 weeks. So flat. So blah. I had to put a top coat on it to give it SOMETHING. I have the entire line so I will let you know how Pussy Galore works out.

I do recommend Lasik. I am so happy to be able to see and shave my legs rather the the feel technique.
 
I <3 Zoya nail polish. Thank you so much for telling me about it!!!! I've tried three different colours so far, love them, it lasts so long. :) And such pretty colours!!!

Haha, thanks hbaby ^__^ Hot pink...sounds like you're ready for summer! Do you paint your own nails? I usually get gel done and most always get the accent nail now. You're right, it's definitely more interesting

Loooove this palette , it seems to compliment everyone so well, glad to see yet another satisfied Ud customer :)

Was almost on my way out the door of Cosmoprof when this set caught my eye.

I've yet to crack it open, but plan on using the baby pink shade tomorrow. The second shade to the left is also a liquid sand and the first that I'll be trying of that line. I like all of them to be honest! As much as I try, I just can't get out of that store without buying a polish but for $3 china glaze and $4.25 OPI, who can resist??
 
^^ Looks cool but wouldn't work for my skintone LOL

My fave eyshadow:

Avon - another fun one! A little bit different but I love it.

.... that's only the start of my eyeshadow collection .... but those are my favourites!

I want to find some *bright* colours ... like bright greens, bright purples (not necessarily together LOL) but I'm not sure where.

On a side note, I have finally tried my last Zoya nail polish that I bought like 3-4 months ago LOL. Loooooove them!!!!!!!!!!
 
I am about to start a new nail polish line :) It's obviously a small indie brand. I have the labels ordered, have all the supplies, etc. but need to set up the actual website. Here are some of the polishes:

I love this color below but it hasn't tested well. Not sure if I should make more of it.

This one, however, seemed very popular.

It's definitely available at Sally's Beauty Supply. I just got some there the other day.

Sooo you actually create nail polish??? really??? that is so cool!

Yes! I just started in May. It's a lot of fun and anyone can do it. It takes a while to get all the supplies and some of them are VERY flammable so you have to be careful with that but it's pretty simple otherwise. Not only that but you can be incredibly creative with it. Right now glitter is a huge thing with "indie" polish (handmade polishes, a lot of them are sold on sites like etsy.com) so I've been ordering and using all kinds of glitter. I actually enjoy the glitter as much as the polish, lol.

I made this one last night:
