Girly Thread v. Nail Porn, Makeup Lust and everything else girlie girl

At first I thought accent nails were weird, but I've grown to love them. Usually I end up doing nail art on an accent nail cause there's less of a chance that I'll fuck up my whole manicure lol :D
 
I think I need some sparkly nails. I get really bored with my nail polish regularly. I need to get a good brand of nail polish though. I hate it when nail polish chips after wearing it for a day or two. I force myself to wear nail polish for a week, and just touch it up every other day. Still, I think a better quality nail polish is best? Anyone have any recommendations? Or would doing a top layer or something like that be better?

Also - anyone know of any good hand lotion, like good quality stuff? I get mine from Bath and Body Works and it isn't that good anymore :(
 
I think you probably want a top coat of some sort. Lysis recommended this, says it makes her manicure last a week and a half. I haven't gotten around to picking it up yet but I want to.

^I use Seche Vite and it works great. Also since you want more glittery polishes, check out what Zoya has. I've had really good luck with their glittery polishes lasting a long time.

I love Aveda's hand lotion. It has a lovely scent too that's not too strong.
 
i was going to recommend zoya as well. if anyone knows when they're going to do the buy-one-get-one sale, please let us know! my bottle of trixie is running out and i'd like to get some others :)

E.O.S. makes the best hand lotion I've ever tried, granted it is rather expensive.

Gahhh they just finished a promo a couple weeks ago (I did finally get Trixie this time too). They run a lot of promos, so I'll let you know when they're running another one. :)

How do you know about promos? I want some nail polish lol
 
Zoyas promos are the best! I probably own 50+ Zoya polishes and I've never paid full retail price for a single one.

I used an Ulta coupon the other day and purchased this: LORAC Close Up: Real Life To Red Carpet Natural To Dramatic Face Tutorial

s1344696-main-hero.jpg


It retails for $39 USD at places like Ulta and Sephora and OHMYGOD I love it! All five products included (eyeliner, eyeshadow trio, mascara, blush, lipgloss) are all full size. It also includes instructions to create a variety of different looks using the products. This kit is a steal, and in my opinion, an absolute must! The eyeliner is my favorite, the tip of the pen is so fine, it makes the perfect winged eye with hardly any effort. I would highly, highly recommend picking this one up.

Yeah! Definitely going to orders some! I'm a bit confused at how it works but I'll figure it out :)
Although I just ordered some new clothes the other day .... :p

I love this thread. Great suggestions! Dior mascara - omg the best! And EOS hand lotion is pretty good too!!!
At some point, I'm going to need to find some new eyeshadow. There are so many pretty colours out there. I want to mix it up, get different colours, but it seems like only certain colours (green and purple) look good on me. The blue that I tried just didn't work. Revlon "party pop" is awesome. And this covergirl kind with green in it.

Covergirl outlast stay brilliant is a pretty good nail polish brand too, one of the best that I've been able to find in most stores. :)
 
^I picked up one of the Covergirl Outlast nail polishes yesterday, it was okay. My only complaint is that it dried so quickly that if I took too long on a nail the polish got lumpy and streaky, this happens a lot since I take forever trying to not get any on my cuticle. We'll see how long it last before chipping. The color selection was good.

My favorite drugstore nailpolish brand is Sally Hansen's Complete Manicure, it has a flat, wide brush making it super easy to cover your entire nail in one stroke. I still haven't picked up the Seche Vite top coat yet, my Ulta is always sold out :(
 
so i am thinking about getting a brazilian wax. but i wondered if you ladies had an opinion when it comes to sugaring vs waxing? and any tips since it has been about ten years since i last tried it.
 
Never had sugaring. Since I moved to VA I haven't got a wax as they charge $65-70 for a brazilian where I was used to getting a deal in CT at 50. I did it for me. My husband could care less so I stopped going. I now shave.

I will learn to do a cat's eye with liquid liner. I bought the supplies.
