Back To School + NOTW

as you all know it's that time of the year again -- back to school! so i've been a bit caught up w/ my new classes & whatnot which resulted in no time to update this blog of mine but i'm getting the hang of things so things should be back to normal now.*(:

so here are my new best friends for the next 16 weeks!


the grand total was $260 which i actually don't think is too bad for 4 books.
( the purple binder is my math book -- it was one of those 3-hole loose leaf books so it's in that binder )

i am taking 2 classes in person & 3 online -- one of which starts later in the semester & is only 5 weeks outta the 16 weeks of the semester.

after this semester i am left w/ only 4 semesters til graduation which i am SO ready for & really excited about!

i haven't even had the time to do my nailss lately until this past week so i apologize for not putting a NOTW up but i will leave you w/ one now..

china glaze rich & famous

w/ designs using stripe rite felt tip polishes in white, black, & silver glitter.

NOTW: Mom's Chiffon With A Zebra Twist

for my NOTW (Nail Of The Week) this week.. i decided to try something different &put a lil twist to my regular polish

China Glaze: Mom's Chiffon w/ Zebra (OPI: I do I do + Stripe Rite: Black)

here was last week NOTW that i just didn't get the chance to post..

China Glaze: Strawberry Fields

May They Rest In Peace & NOTW

Rest In Peace
the king of pop, the original charlie's angel, &the star search host

WOW what a week.. first john & kate's divorce &then people dying!?!
i was very sad/shocked to hear about the KING OF POP passing.. like that's it!?
i was jammin' to all his hits yesterday &remember so many memories of his life when i was growing up.. even the crazy fainting in his televised concerts. he will never be forgotten &may the LEGEND live on through his music..


RIP Micheal Jackson

Nail Of The Week

China Glaze - Spontaneous

so for this week i rocked this pretty shade of purple.. it reminded me of the lakers! (= the color shows up true to the color in the bottle.. after 3 days of just the solid color i decided to jazz it up a bit & add tips to it!

this was aubrey (fafinettex3) inspired
CG spontaneous + CG tincel

she had twitpic this a while back &never did a tutorial so i can't link you to any tutorial.. sorry! )=

NOTW / What I Got From MAC Sumo Sale

Nail Of The Week
China Glaze - Second Hand Silk

so this was the nail color i was rockin' all week!!
a pretty light pink.. which is very opacque. it isn't sheer at all 2 coats will pretty much give you its true color. these pictures really isn't giving it's true color. this color reminds me of barbie pink and not pink like the box which is a bright hot pink but pink like her heels! (=

MAC's BIG SUMO SAVINGS

i only got 2 things from this sale (which is over now, sorry if you missed it) only because i couldn't narrow my BIG wish list down to my budget and so i only got what i really needed..

1. Fix +
which i've been needing a bottle of my mineralize shadows look weird w/o it!
2. Select Moisturecover Concealer
i had the wrong shade of concealer but i was able to sell it! (= i've been trying to work w/o concealer which is not working out too well! /=

what did you lovely ladies get from the sale?

also check out my YT channel for my 3 latest haul videos!! (=

Review: China Glaze = LOVE!

so i have been a fan of OPI for some time now &i kinda devoted my self to it b/c when i use to go to a salon to get acrylics done that's what my nail lady had in her shop. BUT after seeing + hearing other people say china glaze was just as good if not better than OPI i had to try it out for myself!

so like in my previous post i made my way to sally beauty supply to pick some up &went back for the top coat b/c i heard it was good too + my ORLY top coat was getting really sticky.

so here's my guinea pig..

CHINA GLAZE evening seduction

OMGosh.. one coat is all you need! these polishes are so pigmented there is no need for a second coat of polish!

first..

as always i use ORLY bonder rubberized basecoat

followed by the color of choice in this case
CHINA GLAZE evening seduction

then..
CHINA GLAZE fast forward top coat

the topcoat REALLY did dry FAST!

..&WA LA pretty nails!
excuse the clean up that i missed.. mine you that's my left hand &i'm right handed

OVERALL:
5 out 5 stars!!
i am now a CHINA GLAZE FANAITIC

hope this was helpful to those of you who are thinking about making the switch! (;
