Freshlook Colorblends brilliant blue on dark green eyes

Hey there pretties! I have a review on  Freshlook Colorblends brilliant blue to share with ya. While researching these before i bought them i found that there's a shortage of reviews on people with dark green eyes. Plenty of light green with amber hues, plenty of blues and browns but very few dark green to hazel. If you too have dark green or hazel eyes you can expect similar results.
The colorblends line is made of three  patterns. The innermost being a yellow starburst pattern followed by a primary color and the outermost layer. They are made out of 45% phemilicon and 55% water with a uv filter. The diameter is 14.5. These are the same freshlook lenses you would get at the optometrist. Mine are only cosmetic. They can be purchased with your prescription in them or without for only cosmetic purposes. Toric or cosmetic. These are actually comfortable and I don't think Ive ever said that before about a contact. Im usually removing them 45 mins after  putting them in. This particular color showed to be a really vibrate vivid blue on all of the swatches and reviews that i studied before buying it. However, It is not at all bright and vibrate on dark green eyes. There is a couple of things that i wasn't thrilled about with these. With the three in one color design the starburst pattern migrates and ends up covering a little bit of my pupil up resulting in a halo in my vision. Its worse in dim lighting or at night when the pupil is considerably larger. You only get 14 days of wear out of these. If you're looking to subtly change your eye color these might be for you. They allow a good bit of your natural eye color to show through

Three tiered dollar tree vanity tray

Today Ive got a little craft project to share with ya! Ive been in desperate need to find some way to store my makeup. You know something pretty and girly! Not ugly baskets and mismatched containers. Which is right now my current storage situation. So i saw one of these vanity trays on pinterest awhile back and had to give it a try. With my spin on it of course! What a great idea instead of just having stuff laying everywhere it can be housed on a tray. Unorganized organization! The one I saw on pinterest was made out of mirrors with beveled edges with jewels and beads hanging down. I could not find any beveled mirrors so I decided to just paint the wooden mirrored frames that i got at the dollar tree a metallic silver. I love Rustoleums mirror metallics. I use this particular silver color on alot of my craft projects. I first painted my candlestick holders which will be stand for the tray. My original idea was just to use the glass out of the frames but the edges were too sharp. I removed the cardboard backing and used my hot glue gun to glue the mirror to the frame.......set aside let dry while working on the other two. I let mine dry and cure atleast 24 to 48 hours. Then I lined the candlesticks up to the middle of my frame and glued them into place. I then glued the top frame to the candlestick and whaaala done. This would have looked good with some really intricate nice wooden frames, breakfast tray or even the silver dollar tree trays. You could use one frame and attach some wooden feet and have a one level really cute perfume tray! Well enough rambling. Heres my pics.



 All the supplies you will need can be purchased for a dollar each from your local dollar tree store (except the metallic finish spray paint )

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Hey guys today I've got a snowflake nail art to share. The base for this is Zoyas Dream. A beautiful scattered holographic blue. Dream comes from Zoyas 2013 Zenith collection released this time last year.This is a beautiful polish, if you don't already own it, I suggest you run out and buy it. It's absolutely amazing! No application issues.I used two coats for full opacity.
The stamp for this art is cheeky beauty jumbo holiday plate. I love this plate, it has images for Christmas, Easter, St. Patricks day, New Year's, and Independence Day. It retails for $12.99 and can be bought from cheeky beauty or Amazon.
I used konad white special polish for stamping and as always the world's fastest drying shinest topcoat Seche Vite.
Thanks for viewing!
                                  Merry Xmas,

Opi Ds Extravagance stamped with Essie Chrome

Hey ladies I have my first fall nail art to share with you guys today. I got so many compliments on my nails while wearing this nail art.
The base for this is Opi's Ds series Extravagance which is a purple scattered holo. This polish is beautiful! The formula was awesome! You won't hear me say that too often. It practically applied itself and was shiny with no topcoat. I really like the ds series. Every fall opi comes out with two new polishes to add to the ds line. Most often these are scattered holographics.
  The stamp is moyou London pro plate #13. If you have been following me lately you know I have become obsessed with moyou London stamping plates. I'm a stamping plate connoisseur, lol. Im tired of receiving plates that aren't etched deeply enough or arent up to superior quality so moyou is the only company I've bought from in the past few months. I own two pueen sets and over half of the images won't transfer. Total bummer. Bundlemonster stamping plates are also known to have blunders in the manufacturing process, certain images are too shallow to transfer, but they will replace any plates with defects. They are known to have great customer service. I still don't like to have to bitch and complain and don't have alot of time to spend calling or emailing companies to get them replaced. I feel like they should get it right the first time.
I used Essie Chrome as my silver to stamp with. Essie polishes are great for stamping! Essies chrome and good as gold are my go to silver and gold for stamping. I used Seche Vite as my topcoat. Thanks for viewing!
                Much love,

Thorns & Roses

Hey lovelies I have a romantic nail art to share with you all today. I did these for a date I had a few weeks back, too bad dude turned out to be an asshole and all but this nail art was a waste of my time. Im glad I can laugh about it now! Oh well you live and learn.
  The base for this nail art is Zoya Livingston. I am in love with this red! The formula was perfection, both coats dried fast to a super shiny finish without top coat.
  The rose and thorn stamp is Moyou pro plate xl # 13. If you haven't noticed lately I've become obsessed with Moyou London stamping plates. Moyou london is known for Impeccable detail and amazing customer service and satisfaction. I've yet to purchase a plate from them that  didn't live up to my expectations. Zoya nail polishes retail for $9.00 and can be purchased at ulta or from zoya's website. Moyou stamping plates retail for $11.99 and can be bought from Amazon or Moyou London's website. Hope you enjoyed, thanks.
                                   Love

Holy Holo!

Hey lovelies I'm excited to show you this nail art using my Color Club holographic polish eternal beauty from the Halo Hues Collection released in spring of 2013. This took a little longer than most to dry, somewhere around 15 mins. I used two coats for the photos below. Wow, can you say "eye catching". I can't stop looking at it out in the sun.
  The stamp I used is from Moyou london pro collection plate # 13. I used Konad special white as my stamping polish. As always I used Seche Vite, my favorite fast drying top coat. Hope you've enjoyed! Thanks for viewing!

Summer Sunset Gradient

Hey ladies, hope your having a wonderful day. I have a yellow and pink sunset gradient to show you today. I really liked this mani, so much so that i sported it all week. Fall is creeping up on me so I'm trying to get all my bright summer color manicures squeezed in before the leaves start to fall.
  I used a makeup sponge to create the gradient effect. Nina ultra pro in fushia rage ( pink )and Orlys spark ( yellow ). I used cheeky beautys tropical holiday jumbo plate to create the palm tree stamp. I used Konad special black to stamp with. Thanks for viewing! I hope you like this nail art as much as I have.  

Xoxo
