What Nail Polish?


Super simple, natural nail look, safe for work or weddings. Hope Chest by China Glaze. Very sheer color, so it requires a LOT of coats (for me, 4!) so I guess I would avoid this color if layers of color makes you crazy. Even with all those layers, though, the polish never bubbled or got goopy. Nice texture, nice shiny finish. [...]

*~*Hair Flip Experiments*~*

Experimenting with my hair lately, which is cut pretty blunt, but also flips in pretty easily with a curler. I was leaving it straight or just tying it back because of the hot weather, but I think it looks pretty clean curled in a little at the ends.
Simple, clean navy eye look for interviews, work, school, etc.Also pretty clean and work-y look today (or OL-ish? hehe). [...]

*~*Green Shock*~*

Shock of green this time, with navy/sapphire liner.
Green in along waterline and peeking out a tiny bit from the top liner, some gold highlight in the center of my lower lashline, blended in with the green to provide a little contrast. My eyes usually work better with fun liner colors on the bottom because it's more visible. Gold-y white shadow lightly applied on lid area, concentrating toward the center, for some brightness. Mauve lips.Flash pic, which shows the color better, but the liner itself is a little hidden from the flash. Look of the day, simple stripe-y dress for hot summer days. [...]

*~*Brights Redux*~*

Another bright liner look, kind of combining my previous navy and blue shock look.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but this bottom liner is softer and more dragged out from the lash line. The colors are blended more on the bottom, rather than being sharper individual lines.And, of course my right lashes look much cuter than my left lashes -sigh- :/ Look of the day~ Vintage dress from American Apparel. Flowy, light, great for summertime!

My New Love: Sephora by OPI


I've always used hand cream, but never really found something I really loved, until recently. I recently tried this hand lotion by OPI at Sephora, mainly just because I wanted something small to get free shipping on my online order. Surprise, it's really great!

First, it has a really light texture, more like a lotion than a cream, so it absorbs immediately. It really just sinks in right away, and leaves your hands feeling soft, and not at all greasy. Second, the smell! I love, love the smell! As I put it on again just before doing this review, I realize it is a pretty strong on the outset, but it mellows down and doesn't leave your hands fragranced or anything.

The amazing part is, it really smells like flowers. Not fake, fragranced flower-smell, not overly sweet, literally just like flowers, it's amazing! I feel like I'm sniffing a fresh bouquet whenever I put the hand cream on, it's really lovely.I definitely like the smell of those "botanical extracts," because I think that's what makes it smell so nice.It's always nice to have a good excuse to be nice to your skin, and this is a really great product for that! $5 for 1.7 oz isn't bad for the convenience of the size, so if you're looking for something to toss in your purse or keep at the office, I really like this nicely fragranced hand lotion.
