Hi, everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow, I've been gone for a while. I honestly didn't mean to stay gone this long, but life gets in the way. Anyways, I'm back and plan to make up for all of the time that I've missed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my first manicure, to get me back in the swing of things! It features some of my favorite brands, so let's get right into it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i></i><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cQ02mEFmuYA/Vgb-iNGywTI/AAAAAAAAC0s/-4d8LDIaLUE/s1600/20150923_143114-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cQ02mEFmuYA/Vgb-iNGywTI/AAAAAAAAC0s/-4d8LDIaLUE/s400/20150923_143114-1.jpg" width="378" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i></i><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's start with the basis of all manicures: nail upkeep. I've currently been using a <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/colorful-nail-buffer-sanding-block-files-nail-p-4063.html" target="_blank">four-way buffer*</a> from Born Pretty Store to keep my nails in shape! I would consider this buffer one of the best I've ever used - it hasn't shown a lot of wear and I've been using it for a while now! You can find it on Born Pretty Store's website for $1.99 USD!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my pinky I started off with two coats of Zoya Ryan*. Then, I added the cute seagulls from the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/1sheet-fruit-anchor-nail-water-decals-transfers-stickers-mini-bowknot-foods-pattern-p-20567.html" target="_blank">QJ-197 water decal sheet*</a>, which retails for $0.99 USD at Born Pretty Store! I'm a little upset that they didn't transfer like I'd hoped, as they don't have a white background. I was, however, very happy with the way the anchors transferred onto my thumb (not pictured).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my ring and index fingers I started off with two coats of OPI Red My Fortune Cookie. Then, I transferred full nail water decals from the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/patternssheet-anchor-stripe-nail-water-decals-transfer-sticker-born-pretty-p-20598.html" target="_blank">BP-W07 sheet*</a>. For my middle finger I started off with two coats of Wet n Wild French White Creme and I used a decal from the same sheet. The BP-W07 water decal sheet retails for $1.99 USD.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really love the way this manicure turned out! It is definitely a great summer send off mani!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think? Are you still on the water decal train? Let me know below!</div>

Can you tell that I have been on a water decal kick lately? They are seriously my new favorite thing! This is my last post about them for a while though, seeing as I have used my collection up! :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ordered the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/lucky-2pcs-nail-water-decals-transfer-stickers-random-patterns-p-16246.html" target="_blank">$0.99 lucky water decal bag from Born Pretty Store</a> and I loved the two sheets I received. I got JS-018 and B-090, both of which have super cute designs! For this look I used the B-090 sheet and Essence Off to Miami! </div>

<br />Hi everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry I haven't been around for the last few weeks. I got a job at a popular coffee chain and I can't wear nail polish for food safety reasons, which makes blogging a lot harder. I'm going to try to post on a more regular schedule, so we will see what I can manage. :)</div>

For today's look I used the<a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/pretty-mermaid-rose-love-letter-design-print-nail-water-decals-p-17033.html" target="_blank"> QS-017</a> water decal sheet from Born Pretty Store. This sheet features most of the Disney princesses in one way or another and is super cute! I chose to apply these two decals over China Glaze Petal to the Metal! You can find these decals at <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/pretty-mermaid-rose-love-letter-design-print-nail-water-decals-p-17033.html" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store for $2.65USD</a>, plus use the code <b>YSG10 </b>for 10% off!</div>

Hi everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a super simple look featuring some gold studs from Born Pretty Store!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2SHBMmkUzUw/VTzu4GPMJRI/AAAAAAAACvk/wikgPAhav9w/s1600/BPS%2BGold%2BWheel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2SHBMmkUzUw/VTzu4GPMJRI/AAAAAAAACvk/wikgPAhav9w/s1600/BPS%2BGold%2BWheel.jpg" height="355" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My base color is Revlon Enchanting, which is a gorgeous lavender polish with a slight shimmer. For this look I used two thin coats. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then added on some <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/400pcsbox-newly-gold-silver-round-flat-back-acrylic-nail-decoration-selling-wheel-p-17227.html" target="_blank">large gold studs</a>. They came from a wheel that has about 400 silver and gold studs of various shapes and sizes. The <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/400pcsbox-newly-gold-silver-round-flat-back-acrylic-nail-decoration-selling-wheel-p-17227.html" target="_blank">wheel</a> is $3.31 USD and you can use the code <b>YSG10</b> for 10% off!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my base color I used two coats of Revlon Seashell. I used the orange/pink/purple feathers from a set of <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/sheet-nail-water-decals-sticker-fancy-colorful-feather-transfer-sticker-1737-1748-p-7829.html" target="_blank">decals</a> which also included green/yellow feathers.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I used one of my all time favorite yellow polishes, along with a really cool 3D flower from Born Pretty Store! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g3mcCxbgn4I/VSsBtlvno9I/AAAAAAAACuc/QuWB7Zv5y6k/s1600/BPS%2BMixed%2BWheel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g3mcCxbgn4I/VSsBtlvno9I/AAAAAAAACuc/QuWB7Zv5y6k/s1600/BPS%2BMixed%2BWheel.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a completely opaque look, I started off with three thin coats of China Glaze Metro Pollin-Tin! It dries to a matte finish, which I love! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 3D flower came from a <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/360pcs-wheel-mixed-nail-tips-glitter-pearls-rhinestones-bowknot-nail-decoration-p-7587.html" target="_blank">mixed nail art wheel</a> that I ordered from Born Pretty Store. The <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/360pcs-wheel-mixed-nail-tips-glitter-pearls-rhinestones-bowknot-nail-decoration-p-7587.html" target="_blank">wheel </a>contains 360 pieces and they range from studs and bows to flowers and fruit. It costs $3.86 USD.</div>

Hello lovelies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm back for Twinsie Thursday and Samantha picked an awesome inspirational manicure for this month! <a href="https://instagram.com/p/zpzzJWr_SU/?modal=true" target="_blank">This</a> is the inspiration, and here is my recreation!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off with a white base (Essie "Blanc") on all my nails, except the ring finger. Then I applied 2 coats of Essie "I'm Addicted" on my index finger. On my ring finger are three coats of an unnamed nude from Etos. The black stripes were done using a cheap striper from Primark. I applied the leopard spots with a dotting tool, black polish and OPI "Wooden Shoe Like To Know", from the Holland collection, lol! The studs are from Ebay. All in all it was a relatively fast manicure! I like it :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a nail blogger, and in general, hands are important! A few months ago I got a super nasty burn on my right hand and, of course, it left a nasty scar behind. I'll spare you photos, as no one wants to see it, not even me (haha).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://images.brandbacker.com/opps/overview/kSuSj73yR3GOoyTZjAq7_Front_.JPG" height="400" width="159" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To find out more about this scar gel, visit<a href="http://www.instanatural.com/" target="_blank"> InstaNatural.com</a>.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be honest when I say I tried this product once. I applied the gel, which is a brownish color, and let it sink in overnight. When I woke up the next morning, the skin where I had applied the gel was stained dark brown. I washed and washed, and scrubbed and scrubbed, but the stain was still there. It wasn't until I took an exfoliating brush and gave it a good five minute scrub for the stain to lighten.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've seen a lot of good reviews, so the gel may not get along with my body chemistry. I'm very disappointed, as I was really looking forward to receiving this product.<br />
<br />
Do you have any scar removal tricks? Let me know below! </div>

Hi everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have two stamping looks for you using BPS stamping plates!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6TBjlCjmBu8/VPOOWdZewGI/AAAAAAAACrw/k_1GlmYZaeU/s1600/BPS%2BStamping%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6TBjlCjmBu8/VPOOWdZewGI/AAAAAAAACrw/k_1GlmYZaeU/s1600/BPS%2BStamping%2B1.jpg" height="640" width="531" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Base Color: Essence L.O.L. Stamp: BP-L007 Stamping Color: Rimmel London Black Satin</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this look, I chose a fan image from the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/vintage-damask-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-l007-65cm-p-17925.html" target="_blank">BP-L007</a> plate. This plate retails for $5.99 USD and it has twenty-five different images, many of which are full nail images. The plate was etched well and the images came out nice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I2UJFhjzSjA/VPOOVbv_XpI/AAAAAAAACrk/WUiNtl4Zn0M/s1600/BPS%2BStamping%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I2UJFhjzSjA/VPOOVbv_XpI/AAAAAAAACrk/WUiNtl4Zn0M/s1600/BPS%2BStamping%2B2.jpg" height="640" width="505" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Base Color: Essence Break Through Stamp: m41 Stamping Color: Julep Bunny</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this look I used a plate from a <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/lucky-2pcs-nail-stamp-template-image-plates-random-types-p-18085.html" target="_blank">mystery set</a> I received. In the mystery bag I got two plates named m41 and m74. The images in these plates were also well etched. These were not plates I would have picked for myself, but that is what mystery bags are all about! One <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/lucky-2pcs-nail-stamp-template-image-plates-random-types-p-18085.html" target="_blank">mystery bag</a> retails for $0.99 USD! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am no stamping master by any means, but practice makes perfect! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey y'all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone is having a great day! It is currently sleeting along with some freezing rain at my house, which is very uncommon in the south! If you're enduring crazy weather right now, like me, stay safe! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's get to the polish!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pj1K9TeruvE/VOz7zfc1CyI/AAAAAAAACrU/zZRLz1ZxZ8U/s1600/Milani%2BHi-Res.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pj1K9TeruvE/VOz7zfc1CyI/AAAAAAAACrU/zZRLz1ZxZ8U/s1600/Milani%2BHi-Res.jpg" height="640" width="540" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Milani Hi-Res: two coats; base and top coat.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Milani Hi-Res is a light purple holographic polish! The formula was streaky at first, but a second coat evened it out. I was impressed by the holographic payoff, since drugstore brands have a hard time pulling off holographic polishes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I really like this polish! I picked it up a while ago on clearance, along with the other colors in the line, and I'm so glad I did! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you found any drugstore gems lately? </div>

<i>Press Samples</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey y'all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post features one of Zoya's new satin polishes and a rhinestone bow from Born Pretty Store!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nRKoUUBYh70/VOjuklw7_8I/AAAAAAAACq8/PeD6Psdc0-I/s1600/Zoya%2BLeah%2BSatin%2Bwith%2BBPS%2BRhinestone%2BBow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nRKoUUBYh70/VOjuklw7_8I/AAAAAAAACq8/PeD6Psdc0-I/s1600/Zoya%2BLeah%2BSatin%2Bwith%2BBPS%2BRhinestone%2BBow.jpg" height="640" width="545" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this look I used two coats of Zoya Leah, no base or top coat! I added the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/silver-bowknot-shape-crystal-charms-acrylic-nail-p-4166.html" target="_blank">rhinestone bow</a>, as an accent, by putting a small dot of top coat right wear I wanted the bow to go. I applied the bow and held it down for a few seconds and I was good to go! It didn't budge for the rest of the time I wore it. The bow had a slight curve in it, so it sat perfectly on my nail!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/silver-bowknot-shape-crystal-charms-acrylic-nail-p-4166.html" target="_blank">rhinestone bow from Born Pretty Store</a>! It costs $5.09 USD for a set of ten. Make sure to use the code <b>YSG10</b> for 10% off of your purchase!</div>

Hello lovelies!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another Twinsie Thursday is upon us and during this one, we try to force the weather to be springy:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't it fun? It is inspired by a fellow blogger, <a href="http://www.beautybysuzi.blogspot.sk/" target="_blank">Suzi</a>, but I cannot find the original post. I actually did the design on all 10 nails, something I don't do very often these days, lol! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I started with a double base coat, because, you know, yellow. Then two coats of Bourjois "<a href="http://manisandmakeovers.blogspot.nl/2013/06/swatch-it-sunday-bourjois-summer.html" target="_blank">Sunny Sunday</a>" and then I dabbed on some Essence "L.O.L." and dotted on the flowers with various colours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This brought me in a good mood! Now go to <a href="http://manisandmakeovers.blogspot.com/2015/02/twinsie-thursday-spring-flowers.html" target="_blank">my blog</a> to see Samantha's super cute pastel design with Zoya's new spring collection!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used two coats for each polish, no base or top coat! All of the polishes had great formulas and dry times. I enjoyed the cream polishes {Tiana Lillian, and Eden} the most, as I'm not a huge fan of shimmers, but if I had to pick a favorite shimmer it would be Leslie!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These retail for $9.00 USD and can be found on <a href="http://www.zoya.com/content/category/Naturel-Satins-Nail-Polish-Collection-Transitional.html" target="_blank">Zoya's website</a>.</div>

This is my first indie multi-chrome and very I'm impressed; in fact, this was my first Girly Bits polish! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey y'all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's look is a super simple, yet delicate look using a new satin polish from Zoya and a water decal from Born Pretty Store! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7PGDqDoli2U/VNeNutctpRI/AAAAAAAACoM/Rv6eLkqqYZU/s1600/Zoya%2BAna%2BSatin%2Bwith%2BBPS%2BWater%2BDecal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7PGDqDoli2U/VNeNutctpRI/AAAAAAAACoM/Rv6eLkqqYZU/s1600/Zoya%2BAna%2BSatin%2Bwith%2BBPS%2BWater%2BDecal.jpg" height="640" width="550" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off with two coats of Zoya Ana.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rose decal came from a sheet labeled <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/mirror-rose-boeknot-pattern-nail-water-decals-p-17001.html" target="_blank">HOT-133</a>. I cut the rose out, like you would a temporary tattoo, saturated it with water and the decal slid right off! I placed it on my nail, cut off the excess, and top coated it to make sure it wouldn't budge! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a fan of water decals as you can move them around to get the perfect placement! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/mirror-rose-boeknot-pattern-nail-water-decals-p-17001.html" target="_blank">HOT-133 water decal sheet</a> from Born Pretty Store retails for $2.55USD. Don't forget to use the coupon code <b>YSG10</b> for 10% off! </div>

Today I have swatches of the Zoya Naturel Satin Collection for 2015! I've seen reviews that were all over the place with this collection, but I'm happy to report that I had a good experience! Let's get to the polishes!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used two coats of each polish, no base or topcoat! Each polish had a decent formula and good dry time. I'm on the fence with the Satin finish, but I love these with topcoat (which you will see in a post in a few days)! I really like the muted colors that Zoya included in this collection, espeacially Sage and Tove! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These retail for $9.00 USD and can be found on <a href="http://www.zoya.com/content/category/Naturel-Satins-Nail-Polish-Collection-Transitional.html" target="_blank">Zoya's website</a>.</div>

Hello lovelies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back this month with one of my all-time favourite manis! We decided to recreate a mani by Kelli from <a href="http://thenailpolishchallenge.com/" target="_blank">The Nail Polish Challenge</a>, which she did for a guest post over at <a href="http://www.wondrouslypolished.com/2014/06/guest-post-from-kelli-of-nail-polish.html" target="_blank">Wondrously Polished</a>! She in turn, was inspired by a painting, lol! I wonder what the painter was inspired by. Anyways, when I saw this mani at the time on IG, I fell in love and saved it for later. Now me and Samantha have recreated it! Here we go:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please ignore my fuzzy index fingers, I think it's my camera. Now I started with a base of a light grey polish from HEMA, and then did some grungy distressing with OPI Alpine Snow and Paris Memories <a href="http://manisandmakeovers.blogspot.nl/2013/07/swatch-it-sunday-paris-memories-236-240.html" target="_blank">236</a>. I then created the stems with a striper and the flowers with a nail art brush and some Catrice "Fred Said Red", "Orango Bloom" and Laushine red stamping polish (opacity-wise a good choice). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey y'all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight I have another post featuring nail art foil from Born Pretty Store!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NSMaH-4jD_k/VMgiw3YdkjI/AAAAAAAAClE/HQybjPB_2PY/s1600/SC%2BGlass%2BPink%2BBPS%2BGold%2BFoil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NSMaH-4jD_k/VMgiw3YdkjI/AAAAAAAAClE/HQybjPB_2PY/s1600/SC%2BGlass%2BPink%2BBPS%2BGold%2BFoil.jpg" height="640" width="592" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I applied random pieces of gold foil over two coats of Sinful Colors Glass Pink. I've had Glass Pink in my collection for a while, but this is the first time I've used it! It is a nice sheer pink with gold flecks, so it was the perfect polish for the gold foil!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/12pcs-nail-foil-gold-silver-decoration-glitter-p-272.html" target="_blank">gold nail art foil on Born Pretty Store's website</a>!
It retails for $5.53 USD and you get six pots of silver foil and six
pots of gold foil. </div>

Hey y'all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was super busy with school work and I was sick over the past few weeks, so that is why you haven't seen me! I'm better now and school is less hectic, so I'm now back to my normal posting schedule!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have Sinful Colors Savage accented with <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/12pcs-nail-foil-gold-silver-decoration-glitter-p-272.html" target="_blank">silver nail art foil from Born Pretty Store</a>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L4d74hKBRHI/VMUAE34T_lI/AAAAAAAACkU/oayTrHigE14/s1600/BPS%2BSilver%2BFoil%2B%26%2BSC%2BSavage%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L4d74hKBRHI/VMUAE34T_lI/AAAAAAAACkU/oayTrHigE14/s1600/BPS%2BSilver%2BFoil%2B%26%2BSC%2BSavage%2B1.jpg" height="640" width="592" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this look I used two coats of Sinful Colors Savage. Savage is a gorgeous teal that dries matte.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I added small pieces of silver nail art foil on each nail while the second coat of Savage was still wet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/12pcs-nail-foil-gold-silver-decoration-glitter-p-272.html" target="_blank">silver nail art foil on Born Pretty Store's website</a>! It retails for $5.53 USD and you get six pots of silver foil and six pots of gold foil. I barely used one pot of the silver foil, so I think these will last you a while! </div>

Hey y'all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post is a little different- I have a review of a pair of <a href="http://firmoo.com/" target="_blank">Firmoo glasses</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Firmoo contacted me I was very excited, as I needed a new pair of glasses! I always go back and forth between glasses and contacts, so having a nice, neutral pair of glasses is a must!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose the style <a href="http://www.firmoo.com/eyeglasses-p-2489.html" target="_blank">#F1011</a>! These glasses retail for $53.00 USD, but when I ordered them they were on sale for $33.00 USD. Most of the frame is made of acetate, but the arms are made of metal. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The arms have a funky black, silver, and dark green triangle pattern, with triangle cut outs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ordering process was painless. I put in my prescription, made sure all of my information was correct, and put in my order! It took seventeen days from the time I put in my order to the glasses arriving on my doorstep. I did order during the holidays and it was an international order (they ship from China), so I assume that is why it took so long for my order to arrive. I've ordered from Firmoo before and my glasses arrived in nine days. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My glasses arrived in a hard case, along with a soft case, a cleaning cloth, and a copy of my order. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firmoo is running a <a href="http://www.firmoo.com/free-glasses.html" target="_blank">"First Pair Free" promotion</a> (you pay shipping). If you chose not to partake in that promotion, you can get free shipping on anY order totaling $39.00USD+ using the code FREESHIP.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I'm very happy with my order. The glasses are good quality and decently priced. I would definitely order again! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey y'all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post features the Pantone Color of the Year: Marsala! At first, I was very skeptical of this color, but after swatching KbShimmer's Men Are From Mars-ala, I was sold!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qeK2946fSUc/VKhUVHVG3_I/AAAAAAAACjI/eYzvR3ln1IM/s1600/KbShimmer%2BMen%2BAre%2BFrom%2BMars-ala%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qeK2946fSUc/VKhUVHVG3_I/AAAAAAAACjI/eYzvR3ln1IM/s1600/KbShimmer%2BMen%2BAre%2BFrom%2BMars-ala%2B1.jpg" height="640" width="528" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Men Are From Mars-ala, a linear holographic polish, is a gorgeous rusty red shade. The formula was smooth, creamy, and fast drying.<br />
I applied two coats of Men Are From Mars-ala over my normal base coat; no top coat. In the picture above, I used artificial daylight and the holographic payoff was great! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my first polish by KbShimmer and I am really impressed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
