Vamp

This is what i'm wearing as a "Halloween Mani", it is not as out there as an Orange-Black combination, or as jack-o-lantern patterns, but I think of it as a bloody, vampy, more sophisticated version of a halloween mani.  I started out with blood red nails as a base (Remember I was wearing those Incoco decals?) but you can wear any color that you like, maybe a shimmery orange.  Then, for the crescent moons, I used a nail art pen from Sally Hansen in Black Creme.  Nail pens are very easy to use and you can create so many looks with them, the possibilities are endless! So basically you just draw a half circle in the upper area of your nail and fill it out with the black pen (or you can use some other nail polish brush, it's up to you).  Sorry about the small pics,  I couldn't find my camera so I had to use my phone.

I wore the crescent moon mani for a day, then I decided to add some dots to make it more fun, and this is the end result.

Very simple, but I got so many compliments at work! I hope you guys like it.  I think it looks great by itself, I added dots, but you can add maybe a cool decal, or a rhinestone, or you can invert the colors in one of the nails, use different colors, do a little something different so you can make it your own.

Incoco Review

I've been intrigued by Minx nails for the longest time, without being able to try them, because there are NO nail salons that have them where I live.  The designs always look amazing, they seem convenient and very original.  

A few days back, I came across Incoco dry nail appliqué at my local drugstore.  They promise a professional looking mani that lasts up to 14 days, in minutes. The deal is, you need to buff and clean your nails before you apply it, then file off the excess paper.  For more info, go to www.incoco.com

I bought "Passion" which is a red creme that, truth be told, I found boring but I wanted to try them out and the store only had 2 or 3 creme shades.

Well, the application was no piece of cake.  While it's not very complicated, I thought it was going to be faster.  It probably took me the same amount of time as if I had applied liquid nail polish, maybe even more.  Also, since I'm new at this, my nails ended up with a few wrinkles, and when I was applying the paper, it kind of moved, so my sides are a bit jagged.  That was a drag, and as I was applying the nails, I had a bad feeling about them.  But when I was done, and took a long look at my nails, BAM! instant love!  They look perfect! They have the most amazing shine to them, the color looks intense, and they look very clean.  Now, this is my first day with them, I shall keep you updated about how they look as the days pass by.  So far, I think they look gorgeous.  See for yourselves.  

UPDATE: This is my fifth day wearing the appliqués.  So far, my free edges have chipped, but the wrinkles that I initially had disappeared within the first 24 hours and the nails looked perfect until yesterday.  I'm pretty sure the mani will look descent for quite some time, but I doubt I could go 14 days without changing it.

Sephora and Still Glamorus Products

Hello my gorgeous Vixxens! So I did a little haul on Youtube today on some products I purchased from Sephora and Still Glamorus Cosmetics.

This was my purchase from Sephora. I got a lip gloss palette for $10.00. I really like this product because the lip glosses actually feel like lip balm and not sticky gloss. It comes (as you can see) in a good variety! I highly recommend!

Then from the Valentines Collection I bought the Lip Gloss set for $25.00. You can only purchase it online. It came with 7 different kinds ranging in colors from light pink to red. Very good value!

Check it out here--- VALENTINE

This was my purchase from Still Glamorus. The names of the colors are Christmas Tree, Forget Me Not and Snow Flake. They are really pretty shades and have a sparkle to them. I paid $4.50 each for the first and last ones and $6.50 for the middle one.

The top swatches are with F.Y.Eye Primer and the bottom is without. As you can see they are sooo pretty!

Nail Polish Review!

Hello Vixxens! So while watching a youtube video, I stumbled upon a website that sells nail supplies and polish. The name of the web site is Transdesign. The prices are very affordable (I think). So in the left hand corner of the website, I clicked on polishes and went through the TONS of colors and I chose 6 of them. ( I totally wanted about 50, but yah know!)

So here are the colors that I chose:

O.P.I Matte in Alpine Snow,China Glaze in C-C-Courage(from The Wizard of Oz collection), China Glaze in Laced Up, China Glaze in Flyin' High, China Glaze in Lubu Heels (also from The Wizard of Oz collection) & INK with nail brush (black).

I've used the white and INK for my zebra nails, which is in one of the previous posts. I felt they were really good value and shipping was very prompt. I paid about $22.99 for all six nail polishes and shipping combined! I hope you enjoyed!
