new nailpolishes

Hey everyone, it's been a while, but I finally got a spare moment to write a quick blog on 3 new nail polishes I got.

The first: Going Incognito by Essie

This is the truest of greens.  I love this color for fall especially if you add a luster top coat it makes for the perfect jewel tone color.  I never really wore green nail polish before (besides very light, almost white ones) but I've always wanted to try one, and I'm very very pleased I got to try this first :)

The Second : Over the Top by Essie

This is a really great Gunmetal grey shimmery color.

I love this color because for fall and winter I like wearing darker colors.  I have a dark purple, a few dark blues, a dark red and a black polish, but I didn't have anyneutral dark colors besides black I could wear.I absolutely love this color, it goes on flawlesslyand although it needs a few coats to really become opaque, its a great choice for a darker neutral.

The Third : Topless and Barefoot by Essie

This is, hands down, my favorite neutral nail polish.It's a great color and becomes opaque in 2 coats.Another trend happening this fall is nude colors.and this polish fits into that trend perfectly. an absolutely amazing polish!

I have also recently ordered the Sephora by OPI Manhattan minis collection and will do a review on those as soon as i get them in the mail and try them all!

California!

Well, we finally got home last night!

Everything is kind of in disarray because we're still unpacking and boxes are still arriving...we still don't even have a bed!  I will continue videos on my youtube channel shortly...but they might be further apart due to the many duties of moving in!  School is also starting this coming Monday so I'm also rushing around trying to get ready for that!  Ill post pictures from our roadtrip shortly.

I guess that's all for now.

Cross Country : New Mexico

So last night we stopped for the night in Albuquerque, NM.

It was a long drive from Oklahoma, but we made it!  We drove through the rest of OK, and all of Texas (through amarillo) along old rt 66, which is now I-40.  We were both very sad that we werent able to spot the cadilliac ranch from the road, but we were on a time schedule and didnt have much time to go too far off our plan.  At one rest stop we ran into a trucker who was on his way to pick up bulls for a rodeo.  It was kind of cool talking to someone who does what we're doing for a living.  Today we're off to las vegas! And then tomorrow we'll finally be home :)

Cross Country : Missouri

We left New York yesterday morning.  We drove through New Jersey and Pennsylvania and settled half way through Ohio, which offered many different smells including manure, flatulence, burning rubber and skunk.  We stayed in a place called the Knights Inn, which was horrible.  We payed 75 dollars for a tiny room that smelled like urine, the toilet was hard to flush and the shower was full of mold, there was no internet when they claimed there was, and the tv they provided had very poor reception.  But we trudged through and drove through the rest of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and stopped in St. Louis Missouri.  Where we are now.  We stopped at a Comfort Inn (a name I trust!) with full working tv and internet for 52 bucks!  We're going to be driving to Oklahoma tomorrow and we'll be staying with my family there!

Make-up Remover Wipes

This past week I got two new makeup remover wipes to try out.  I tried the Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes and the Garnier Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes.  I've tried them both once and have good and not so good things to say about each.

First, the Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes.  They work great and have a very smooth feeling over my skin.  They work great at removing my makeup (even waterproof mascara) and cleansing my skin.  My only negative about this product is that it has an odd scent.  To me, it sort of smells like strong tea and a strange mixture of fruits.  It's not a bad smell...but definitely not something I'd want my face to smell like everyday.

Second, I have the Garnier Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes.  These also remove makeup very well and cleanses my face, and unlike the Burt's Bees, this product has a very nice scent.  My complaint about this product is that it's a little bit rough for my eye area when I have mascara and eyeliner to remove.

I probably will buy a completely new product after I finish these packs to try and find the perfect makeup remover that feels and smells nice and, of course, removes all my makeup.  Please let me know if you've found a makeup remover wipe that you use that you like a lot!

So I did a video on my youtube channel about this before I started my blog.

I really did want to do a post about it, so I'm just going to link the video right here.

Favorite Nail Polish!

Ok, so I dont really have just one favorite nail polish.  I have two that I will share with you all.  

The first being Essie's Sexy Divide.
This is a dark shimmery purple color.  Going into it I was a little concerned because all the other dark purple nail polishes I have tried came out very very dark, almost black.
When I tried this polish for the first time I was thrilled.  It actually came out a dark purple!!! It was eight dollars at my local drugstore, but I'm sure you can find it many places online.


The second of my favorite polish's is Sephora by OPI's Already Famous.
This is a gold/silver shimmer polish, perfect for summer.  I never really wore metallic polishes before, but my mom suggested the color so I bought it and, now, absolutely love it.  Its perfect for finger and toe nails, and doesn't really chip for a long time!  I've literally been wearing this polish all summer long on either my finger nails, toe nails or both.  I picked this up for nine dollars at my local Sephora store.  This is also available online.




These are currently my two favorite nail polishes.  I can't wait to add to my collection...nail polish is slowly but surely becoming my new obsession!
