Let's not talk about my failed challenge in August. I SUCK OKAY?
Onto prettier things now. We all know my love of holos, even the subtle ones. And this is a gorgeous and subtle holo. I present to you Up Colors 'Lilas Chrome.' Is there an English name for this? I'm unsure. But this is the purpley-pink Up holo and it is so pretty. Very subtle holo but the colour itself is so pretty and just looked amazeballs on my nails. You can barely see any holo in this pic but I tried I promise! It is minimal but in the right light you see it. This is a super old pic, minimum three months? Anyway, hope you enjoy!
You can buy this at llarowe and I think it is time for me to buy them all... ;)
Hi loves! I'm just a huge slacker aren't I =) Woops! Too much to do, too little time. But! I was recently contacted by Alexis to partake in the Penguin makeup challenge this month! I loved the idea, which centers around using black and white eyeshadow and I also loved it because it is just three challenges spread out over the course of a month! I am terrible at keeping up with things so I knew I'd never be able to do a challenge a day but three in a month is a good way to keep my blog up to date and do something fun =) So today is day one! And the challenge is to only use black and white in a makeup look. I used a ton of products, from MAC and Wet n' Wild and more, but essentially just good old black and white shadows.
I wanted to try something that I haven't done in probably forever and that was dots! You can't see them very well but I put dots as eyeliner all along the top lashline. I struggled like crazy and in the end used mascara along with a nail dotting tool haha. Surprisingly in my entire collection of makeup I don't own a felt tip liner which I think would have been the easiest way to do this, but oh well. It didn't turn out perfect but it was kinda trippy looking at myself in the mirror. I was also having bad skin day and this was the only photo which I didn't extremely hate. So just one will have to do for this challenge.
Now! Go check out all the other wonderful ladies and I'll be back soon with the next challenge <333

You know that feeling of being speechless?? Yeah, this is one of those. I ordered my first Jade holo. And then proceeded to apply it and die all over the place. I can't handle its amazingness. Dare I say I prefer this over the Layla holos? I don't know. I need more to make a statement like that. This means I must buy more, yes? Good. =)
SO! I applied this over Nfu Aqua Base because I own it and figure I may as well use it. It applied like a dream. Zero streaking, probably okay with one coat but I did two cause I like opacity and wanted it perfect. The brush is also really nice. It is pretty standard aka not too thick or thin (thats what she said) and so it applies well. I did essentially zero clean up. So that's nice.
I should probably mention what this polish is? Mystic Gold, by Jade. <3 I want/need them all. This is my new mission. Enjoy the pics!
Did all your eyes explode? Yeah, me too. I don't want to take this off but I've got some Ozotics to try out ;) Cheers for now!

I am beyond stoked. I remember lusting over this polish forever ago. Wasn't there atime where you could only buy it on The Hungry Asian blog? Maybe I'm remembering wrong haha. Anywhooo! I finally bought Sneeze Breeze! Soooo excited! It is such a neato polish, with black and blue matte glitter. Is there anything better than matte glitter? Well, maybe a holo or two :P But this polish essentially takes the cake for awesome.
This is two coats on top of some random blue which I do not recall.
I bought a couple other polishes from The Hungry Asian so make sure to stay tuned for those as well!

I'm a happy little camper. I'd been eyeing Indian Ocean by Models Own since it had come out. Lusting and lusting like crazy, literally looking at it a couple times a week, putting it in a cart, popping it out, never truly making the plunge. WHY? Cause I'm crazy. Then! I did a swap with my wonderful friend Charlene and as luck would have it she sent me Indian Ocean! I was soo freaking excited =D It seriously made my week a whole lot better. So I instantly put it on my nails!
It is a sheer polish so I used Illamasqua's Wink polish as a good ole pair of undies, which is a standard pastel purple colour. I forgot to take a pic but it isn't anything super special!
I then did one coat of Indian Ocean and then for some added sparkle I added a coat of Orly's Prisma Gloss Silver, which is a very fine holo glitter in a clear base. Topped it off with another coat of Indian Ocean!
Not my favourite photo but the pinky finger shows the holo glitter peeking through quite well!
Hope you all enjoyed!

Does this nail polish even need an introduction? The very much coveted Floam. Oh my goodness. I can't even get over how awesome this polish is. Neon, matte glitter. WHAT!? I really have not much to say about it. I layered two coats over Zoya Phoebe, which is a matte blue colour. I only chose Phoebe because it was matte and would dry quickly haha. Also, Floam is soo top coat hungry. I put on two layers of topcoat and then went to bed and in the morning I had to put on one more. It slurped it up good.
Two photos, for extra sexy time.
Byeeee!
