Holographic Fall Nails!

Contains press samples

Why hello there! I know everyone is starting their Holiday nails, but I am still in Fall! I really have been wanting to do these nails since I got the Square Hue box in November. This box made me quickly realize that brown is actually my favorite color. I know, weird right?! I've been saying it was purple for ages, but really, it is brown. Don't ask me why, I don't have an explanation. 

I used Square Hue's Pompidou polish from November 2016, because it is holographic. I seriously told you all, that I will wear this polish the entire month and I did. This polish is so dang pretty that I just can't get over it. Let's not kid ourselves though! You can never have too much holographic anything. 

I have had these Hard Candy holographic glitters for ages and have had no idea what to do with them. They look pretty awful on the lids and are a pain to get off of your eye lid when it is time to take them off. It just isn't that though, I am not exactly sure these are made for use near your eyes...the glitter is a little too coarse for my liking. 

I used the City Chic duo and pretty much just mixed the two glitters together for the ultimate holographic glitter tips! I basically just dipped the tip of my slightly wet nails into the glitter and called it a day. They aren't all even, but come on, this is me, I can't even draw a stick figure. I don't think everything has to be perfect when it comes to your nails anyways. 

I will say that I did put these under my LED light for gel nails,, I found that it actually helped the glitter dry on pretty well and not fall off. Square Hue polishes aren't gel polishes, but I will be danged! The light actually helped the glitter adhere to the polish so much better than letting it dry on  its own! The glitter even lasted through a shower, which it didn't do the first time I did these! 

Obligatory out of focus shot! 

Have a great weekend!

NYX Cosmetics Prismatic Eye Shadows - Fireball & Liquid Gold

Purchased Myself

Why, howdy doody there! ....don't even ask. I have no idea.

Let's listen to Gwen Stefani's Rich Girl and get this party started!

A few weeks ago I was at Ulta and I spotted these new shadows by NYX and I had talked myself out of wanting them because I "just didn't need anymore shadows in my life". Which, we all know is a downright lie. Am I right?  I literally had not heard a single thing about these new shadows or anything so I just went home, sad and regretting that I didn't pick them up when I had the chance. 

Cue a few weeks later, I stop by the Ulta in Citrus Park and I decided to snag the two I'm going to show you in this post! I wanted a couple other ones but unfortunately they were all sold out. Bummer, but I'm fine with these two for now! 

NYX doesn't really give a description for the Prismatic Shadows besides calling them Metallic, which I fully support. They are metallic. 

Fireball

This shadow is an orange based red. I get where the Fireball name came from because it definitely does remind me of a fire!

Liquid Gold

Liquid Gold is one of those shadows that you just can't pass up, especially if you have blue eyes. Golds look amazing when paired with blue eyes and this is no exception! This is a yellow gold shade that definitely looks like you've got liquid gold on your eyes!

All in all, I am impressed with the quality, pigmentation and the lasting ability of these shadows. I definitely want to get more...actually I want the entire collection. NYX, hit me up! (kidding....kind of) :P  

The shadows retail for $5.99 and can be found at Ulta and on Nyx's website.

The Beauty Buffs : Fall Themed

I know, I've not done a Beauty Buffs post in quite a while, to be completely honest with you, I am greatly surprised that I've not been kicked out of the group. I tried to do the last post, but EVER-SINGLE-LOOK I did came out in a total fail and I just gave up.

All of that aside, I am extremely behind on posts, so please bear with me while I attempt to catch up! D:

Now, This weeks theme is Fall Themed...you just know that I had to do something. Fall is my season..get it Autumn...Fall... *nods* yeahhh. Tis all mine! >D Kidding kidding. I seriously do love fall, hello my Wedding..Fall Themed...My wedding Dress...Kind of fall themed. The season itself just makes me happier. SO, I decided to do an eye look using two of BFTE (Beauty From The Earth) Cosmetics Pumpkin EVERYTHING! Collection.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
BFTE Pumpkin EVERYTHING! (lid)
Pumpkin Spice (Crease/outer corner)
Chocolate (outer corner)
Maybelline Eyestudio Eyeliner - Black

So, I'm going to admit right here, I completely forgot mascara. I'm probably the only person who forgets to put their mascara more than they'd care to admit when doing their makeup. I know the pictures are a little out of focus, and the eyeliner is kind of skippy and not perfect. D: Can you tell that I'm not used to taking pictures!

I'm going to apologize right now for not having a full face shot. I changed my hair color drastically and I did not like a single full-faced picture that I took. Booo.
I'll have a full review of BFTE's Pumpkin EVERYTHING! Collection up on the blog soon, so you all can see what all of the shadows look like! I'm very excited for them!

Don't forget to check out the other ladies posts down below! Have a fantastic day! xx
