for the past year.... and a half lol

Ive been getting my life together!! lets see.... ive been seperated from my ex husband (no pity needed lol) working on a divorce, graduated beauty school, got my cosmo license, have a new wonderful amazing man in my life, im working at an amazing salon, not to mention my kids are growing like weeds and i have to keep up with them haha its just been way too long, and YES! ive been without internet in my home for this long! no joke, years. Literally, haha i just got my lil hotspot for my home, i know! but when i say i was getting my life together i mean just that, from the bottom to the top all over again. im still getting emails and comments about videos and ill be honest my beautiful "followers" videos take up WAY too much of my time to record, edit & upload. im not saying ill never ever ever ever make them because i do want to make more hair tutorials because i feel people will get more out of them than they would the makeup vids seeing as there are a BAJILLION "makeup gurus" on youtube now. so ill more than likely post makeup pics here and there on her my blog and MOST DEFINITELY DEFINITELY ON MY INSTAGRAM: DOLLFACE851 puhleeeeez follow my instagram and youll get sick of me haha i tried to have both personal and professional instagram accounts but it was just too much lol i didnt like logging out of one and logging into another acct, seemed useless. so i have a hodgepodge of pics on my instagram. ive changed my hair a million times so my next post will probably be pics of me during this last year lol i want to thank every one of you for staying with me and those of you who just began to follow me, i cant promise ill be super amazing and consistant with my posts or videos but i will every now and then post about random crap im excited about lol im online again people internet to my leisure or if time allows but anywhos this concludes this post ill post pics of my hair and my random life for the past year or so :D dont forget to follow me on my instagram for hair and makeup pics and other randomness mostly food and drink lol! thanks so much ladies!

L.A Colors Metallic Polish

So by now we have all come to learn that Rachel has a new problem/ addiction to go along with her cosmetics problem... NAIL ART stuff. Last week I went to my CVS to fill a prescription and i love doing that because they give me 20 minutes to look around while i wait. I went straight to cosmetics, i looked around and then i said hmm what about nail polishes. Then this bad boy caught my eye! L.A Colors Metallic Polish, There are 4 polishes for $2.99! Tell me how I could pass that up?! The package does say they are limited edition, so i dont know how long they will be available so if you see them and want them, get them! I have been wanting to get some L.A Color polishes i just wasnt sure where to get them. I have been needing to check my Dollar Tree and see if they have some i just havent gotten around to it. I have never seen them at CVS so i thought it was pretty weird that they had this little package but i wasnt complaining i snatched it up along with a few other polishes (swatches of all my other polish sprees will be up soon)

Now to me..... they arent really "metallic" more like really glittery/shimmery. Its a matter of opinion i guess, to me what they call "chrome" is metallic the shiny mirror like polish. None of the polishes have names though which kind of sucks but i named them myself, we have Magenta, Deep Purple, Charcoal Black, and Teal. Not very inventive but it will help me indentify them. LOL



*FLASH*

Magenta: Its a violet hot pink with purple and blue reflects along with some silver shimmers. Its your basic hot pink though the reflects make somewhat desirable. I probably would want this polish but would wait on it for another more interesting unique color. Then again, im not much for pink.

*NO FLASH*

Deep Purple: This one i LIKE! Its this amazing purple with blue and silver glitters. You can see in the picture that it will probably take 3 coats to make it really opaque, i have 2 coats on and you can see the line of my nails free edge. Not very cute. Its a little less noticable without the flash but you can still kinda see it.

*NO FLASH*

*FLASH*

Charcoal Black: This is one of my favorites. Its gorgeous, but then its just a dark grey with ALOT of silver glitter and we all now how much i love glitter. This one i do consider metallic-ish, it has that look of metal vs the pink and purple polish. Its kind of cool because it catches a different color in different lights, it can look like a pale gold with silver. Yes... i may be a little color blind lol but i see it that way sometimes. i swear. lol

*FLASH*

*FLASH*

Teal: THIS one is my favorite! Its bright, colorful, glittery and eye catching! All of which i look for in anything i buy or put on my face. It has gold and silver glitter/reflects in it. This i also consider more metallic than the others. It has that heavy glitter metallic look to it. Not to mention the color is beautiful! I didnt mind or really notice the fact that I didnt have a polish this color but now that i have it im like "how the eff did i not want a color like this?!"

*NO FLASH*

Overall i really like these polishes, the brush on them isnt too small to complain about but its not OPI status either. They deliver great color for an awesome price! $2.99! GO GET THEM!!

New Pic For My Dream Board

OMFG RIGHT?!?! i was watching the Wendy Williams show today which i never do i am not a fan. She kind of annoys me, but Jennifer Love Hewitt was on today and she was talking about Taylor Lautner so i had to watch! and Jennifer Love Hewitt is gorgeously adorable and hilarious. thats besides the point.... Wendy was wearing these AMAZING heels!!! she had them in black and i was like OMFG! is she gonna say what heels shes wearing?! what really irritated me was that she made it a point for everybody to see them!! she had a "lil note to herself" in her heel so when she went to get it of course the camera shot her shoes and lil angels sang and my eyes lit up. of course she never said anything... so then JLH comes out ans shes in the same shoes but in a beige! like the ones shown above and then i was like ok for sure she will let us know what shoes they are! NO! they just talk about how "oh my god we are wearing the same shoes ahaha" im like hello!!! what are they!??!?! so i went on a mission to find them.... i went to her website and after much hunting i found out she has like a "what i wore on the show today" lil thing. and these GORGEOUS AMAZING BEAUTIFUL SHINY AWESOME STUNNING heels are: Christian Louboutin "Clou Noeud" Spike Pumps and my friends these heels will only run you $1195 at Barneys. :( yes i almost cried too. I WANT THEM SO BADLY IN EVERY COLOR THEY HAVE! so i guess ill be able to afford 1 pair in about 5 yrs! lol i was super obsessed with these shoes until i found out hw much they were. Now i have something else to add to my "dream board" and for those of you who can afford them...... im a size 9. LOL

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!

*FLASH*

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
