American Apparel Nail Lacquers

I stopped by American Apparel a few days before Christmas and picked these up because I saw Palm Springs on someone's blog (I can't remember who).

They were 3/$15 like on their website, except that they are not pre-packaged so you can choose the three you want.

I have yet to try Palm Springs, but I've worn Cotton and Mannequin already and they are gorgeous!

Cotton is off-white, Mannequin is a nude-pink and Palm Springs is a light peach.

(They all look a little darker above, I shot them against a white background to get a true color sense but they still came out a little red.)

These nail polishes are a-ma-zing! They apply creamy, dry quick and two coats will get the job done.

Have you guys tried these? If so, what do you think?

NOTD: China Glaze Something Sweet

Something Sweet from China Glaze's Up & Away Collection is my favorite pink polish! (...that I own).
It's a pale pink with lavender undertones. The formula for this polish is super creamy and two coats will do.
You can still find this nail polish online, I usually buy mine from Trans Design (HAUL from there coming soon!)

[ My poor fingernails are long overdue for a well deserved manicure so excuse them! (: ]

NOTD: PURE ICE Purple Reign

So I only have a few of the PURE ICE nail polishes, but overall I think the quality is nice and they are very affordable (you can get them at Walmart for about $3). This one in particular is a creamy purple with very tiny, reddish-gold sparkles. It really stands out from other purple polishes I own.

NOTD: China Glaze Peachy Keen

Today I'm wearing China Glaze's Peachy Keen from their Up and Away collection.

I had a hard time editing my picture so that the color looked true to the nail polish...after about an hour I gave up and decided to look online for a picture that accurately showed the color.

Pay Less for Your Nail Polish!

So in my Spring Favorites post I mentioned that I started buying nail polish from a website that sold them for a cheaper price. The website is called Trans Design. They sell OPI, Orly, China Glaze, Nicole, Essie, etc. and a bunch of other cool things for your nails. I've only purchased nail polish and lashes from the website but I really am impressed. Shipping is not that much and I received my order in just a few days.
Have any of you ever purchased anything from this website?

NOTD: China Glaze For Audrey

...and I just can't get enough of this color!

Spring Favorites!

Since we are only days away from the official start of summer I decided to share with you my spring favorites. I think that a lot of these are also great for summer. Enjoy. (:


MAC Lipstick in Blankety
A soft pink beige amplified creme lipstick. (As described on mac.com)

OPI-Do You Lilac It?, China Glaze-Re-fresh Mint, China Glaze-For Audrey
I've been using these A LOT--love them! I actually got the China Glaze from a website that sells them for a cheaper price. I will be doing a review on that in a future post. (:

MAC e/s in Naked Lunch
A frosty, pinky-beige shimmery eyeshadow.
I don't know what happened to the swatch. :o(
MAC blush in Melba
I use this almost every day. It's a soft coral-peach matte blush. (As described on mac.com)
Stiles Razor
I always stack up on these, they are perfect for shaping your eyebrows and if you are not happy with the shape you created don't worry! Since it is a razor your hair will grow back a lot faster. If you do like the shape of your eyebrows then you can keep them up with a good pair of tweezers.
E.L.F. Slant Tweezer
These are amazing! They work really well and are only $1! You can't go wrong.
Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Leave In Split End Protector
Since I bought the Long Term Relationship Shampoo and Conditioner I decided to try out the leave in split end protector...(there might have been a 3/$10 sale)...I absolutely love the way this product smells! It reminds me of a shampoo they had in an older collection, it might be the same one but with a different name. Anyway, this really does help minimize the amount of split ends I have.
Urban Decay All Nighter-Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
Review can be found in a previous post. (:

What are some of your favorites?

NOTD: OPI Pink of Hearts

Last weekend I participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, so it was only appropriate that I wear my OPI Pink of Hearts nail polish. (: It's a really pretty pastel pink and added a little bit of decoration to my walker outfit hahaha...seriously, one of the best experiences ever!

excuse the chips, I've had this polish on for almost a week. heh heh...


Have any of you ever participated in any type of fundraising event?
