Nail Polishes!!

Hello hello! I posted a lil about how i have been going nuts over nail polish and nail art. Its almost to an obsession, almost up there with make up! im serious, anywhere i go im like "do they have nail polish?" It makes it worse when you watch super awesome nail art videos on youtube! i just wanted to share with you my nail polish splurge of today. My Rite Aid is having another Wet N Wild buy one get one FREE sale! the best part was i had no idea! i just wanted to check out the Sinful Colors nail polish and surprise! LOL i came home and i told my husband "honey rite was having buy on get one free! so i got 8 nail polishes for like $10 dollars!" my excitement did nothing to him, what he heard was "8 nail polishes" hahaha his response was "are you serious? 8 nail polishes?!" i simply nodded my head with a very happy smile! so here we go.... i got mostly Wet N Wild but i got 2 Sinful Colors polishes. OH BTW i dont know whats going on with my photo upload but it uploaded some pics horizontal and some vertical. its very random i tried fixing it but i failed so sorry.

*FLASH*

Wet N Wild Mega Last Nail Color in 215A Haze Of Love: $1.99 its a matte/creme finish, no shimmer, no glittah. it reminds me of raisinettes for some reason lol it was not my first pick but i was oddly attracted to it. Its actually really pretty, very...... i wanna say regal, yeah i went there haha the only problem which i have encountered with all the WnW Mega Last polishes is the brush.... Its kinda... i hate to say cheap but it is. Its really course synthetic bristles so when you brush on the color you get the grooves of the brush BUT it automatically just melts/molds and looks flawless. Inconvenient yes but not enough for me to not buy these polishes THEY ARE AWESOME!
*NO FLASH*


*FLASH*

Wet N Wild Mega Last Nail Color in 217 Disturbia: $1.99 This was actually the first one i picked up. i went through a i wanna wear purple nail polish fit but i didnt have very many purple polishes to use. so when i saw this one i said SOLD! it has some shimmer in it reflects of like purple and silver its GORGEOUS! a serious must have! The bristles on this polish werent so bad, but im sure it varies on every bottle.
*NO FLASH*


*FLASH*

Wet N Wild Mega Last Nail Color in 218 Blackmail: $1.99 My mouth literally dropped when i saw this one! LITERALLY! i had my son with me so that automatically gives me the right to talk to myself like a crazy lady cuz hes listening to me haha i saw this one and i was like *gasp* OMG! we must take this one! yes out loud haha its a black nail polish with pink and silver shimmer/glitter it. it looks great on but it didnt have the wow factor i thought it would. Nice non the less.
*NO FLASH*


*FLASH*

Wet N Wild Mega Last Nail Color in 208A Through The Grapevine: $1.99 I have other pink nail colors but non quite like this or least i thought so until i polished it on. It looks like a very creamy barbie ink with blue/purple tones. its actually really stunning i wanted to leave my nails like this but i had 5 more polishes to do.
*NO FLASH*

*FLASH*
Wet N Wild Wild Shine Nail Color in 424A Black Creme: $0.99 Now yes black is black, but if your anything like me you see a 99 Cent nail polish and youll be like oh it probably sucks or isnt very opaque or your gonna need like 4 coats of the polish for it to be black. Thats what i thought but all my other black polishes are gloppy from being used all the time so i thought what the hay. This polish impressed me greatly! My index finger and middle finger are only 1 coat and my pinky and ring finger are 2. cant see the difference, and it dries FAST! the only complaint is the brush, it is uber small so i need like 5 brush strokes to color my nail.
*NO FLASH*

The rest of the polishes are glitter polishes, glitter doesnt photograph well. Its somewhat visible i hope you can kinda see.

*FLASH*
Wet N Wild Wild Shine Nail Color in 435G Sparkled: $0.99 I only have this one with flash i deleted the non flash and them emptied the recycle bin before starting. WHO DOES THAT?! This is basically what it looks like princess pink glitter polish. I will say that the other day i was debating on getting a Milani nail polish i forgot the name but it is the EXACT same! no joke. Milani polish is $4.45 to $5.00 depending where you go and this one is 99 cents! Woopty woop!

*FLASH*
Cover Girl Boundless Color Nail Polish in 405 Disco Dazzle: $3.45 This nail polish i have been on the hunt for at Target for weeks! I never knew or paid attention to the fact tha Cover Girl had polishes! one day i was wandering around Target cosmetics and tada! found them! I saw the lil picture icon on this polish and it looked awesome but there wasnt any. The week after i went back, nada and i went the other day and i said lets just see and YAY! i got the last one! I really lke this one because it has 2 shapes and sizes of glitter, it has the traditional silver glitter and then it has the big round multicolored glitter LOVE LOVE LOVE! Perfect for nail art! The brush is small but thats good, i only really use glitter polish for more BANG on my nails so i can be more precise with a small brush.
*NO FLASH*


*FLASH*
Sinful Colors Nail Polish in 921 All About You: $2.99 I saw a video from LOVE4NAILS and she used this glitter polish on a leopard design and the glitter just added that bit extra and since then i have been all about glitter polish on nail art! I love it on my eyes why not my hands!!! This is just a bronzey gold the glitter is very fine but so amazing it shines and glimmers like no other.
*NO FLASH*


*NO FLASH*
Sinful Colors Nail Polish in 834 UFO: $2.99 This has a tint of orange color in the polish it has multicolored glitter and it has the very fine glitter/shimmer in it non of the the glitter is really orange just kind of silver with the tinted orange clear polish. again i say NAIL ART!

Just Feel Like Talking......

Hey everybody! so lately i have been super into my nails! i have been going on spending sprees on ebay for nail art stuff, and its soooo much cheaper than make up! there are so many great nail videos out on youtube i get stuck on them. My faves of now are LOVE4NAILS and 3Tanjaj3. i have been watching their vids non stop and my nails have never looked better or more fabulous! I got some dotting tools yesterday 5 dotting tools each with 2 ends so its like 10 tools for like 3 bucks!!! i also ordered a 15 brush set for $3. and some glitters for like 2 and rhinestones for 1 and other junk my husband isnt too happy about haha. I also am trying to get enrolled in beauty school again! im doing it all over again. I have been to Marinellos here in my town and they are brand new! so thats cool everything is new and clean and looks so professional! i have encountered some hurdles and i have already cried in this process..... i have come to realize that this is what i love and want to do for a living and for as long as god allows. Yes i have graduated beauty school before, waste of time and money. Not because of the school im not going to bash anyone. It was my fault... when your in beauty school some people get caught up in all the drama and believe me beauty school is like a soap opera. so much drama and gossip and talk behind peoples back its like your in high school again. SERIOUSLY. so i did get caught up the i dont feel like going to school today and ill just leave early or really just not pay attention or ask enough questions or for help and just kind of made my way by. when your there no one is on your back about your operations or your theory papers an you have to have a certain amount of ops done and if you dont do them your only messing yourself up not mention jeopardizing your work when you get to finally work on a real head! so when i finally graduated i failed my state board exam twice! and now this coming yr it has been 5 yrs since i graduated and according to state board rules/laws my 1600 hrs are void and no longer are valid. So im re enrolling and im actually going to go to school to get this done! not to make friends and be "cool" although making new friends is always welcomed i have other reasons to have my career. i have my kids and my house and the mindset that this is what i REALLY want! not just "oh have to go to school" its more like "im ready to go and lets go! go! go!!!" so im ready to start this journey again and i pray to god to help be above all the lil girls that like to talk poop and make me the more mature one... cause i am not always, i dont like to be disrespected for no reason but ill hold my tongue for 9 months. "youll never see them again Rachel" is what i will have to say to myself ahahha ill keep everyone posted on how this plays out and when im finally a student. i feel kind of dumb doing it all over again but have to just let that go and stop caring so much about what others are going to say because at the end of the day they dont pay my bills.

Hair Tutorial: Heart Shaped Pin Curls

Hey everybody, so i uploaded a hair tutorial the other day and never blogged about it. As usual, i really have been wanting to blog guys. I explain kinda why in my "update" video which i should have had an "update" post but i guess i might haha. When my night finally winds down which is around 8pm, i say "ok Rachel time to blog or edit a video to upload!" and then i get to the laptop and i got straight to youtube to watch videos! LOL im serious. I have been really into my nails lately im going to have a review on what i have been using to get them to grow. So i watch nail design videos, make up videos, review videos, and then im like "thats it ... BLOG!" and by then im sleepy or im not in the mood to blog hahaha.
So on with the hair..... I have had a few people ask me to do this hairstyle so i wanted to do this one next. Its not very hard, if you use a curling iron on the ends of the section your going to pincurl. I do this lil hair-do alot when i wanna feel cute and girly haha which is actually starting to be alot of the time. I think next i will do a tutorial on how i got the..... i hate to type this because it gets misread ALOT! oh my husband has fun with this word....but the "Quiff" (pronounced KWIF) hairstyle i blogged about not too long ago. The trouble i think will be being able to see what im doing in the back ill probably have to record from the side for a lil while.
I had to edit myself out when i talk about the see through pincurls VS the full non see through pincurls. I personally dont like the pin curls your able to see through, but for the purpose of the video and for sake of time (which did not help) i left it as is. Some people HATE see through pin curls i am one of those people.... i can tolerate them at time but i much rather have the closed off pin curl. You can make it non see through (i wish i could find a better term but im rusty) by just a lil more teasing and a lil less smoothing out when you tease your sections. I didnt blog step by step what to do because i believe a majority of my readers are subscribers so you all have seen the video.... if you have not seen my video and would like me to do a step by step post please let me know! or you can take the easy way and search my video on youtube haha
