Nikki Minaj Save Me and Fly

Hello my Genie babies
I've tracked down 2 colors from the Nikki collection..I know I'm on the late train a bit, since the collection has been out since mid January...so sue me ;)

We have "Save Me" a holographic bar glitter suspended in a clear base with silver micro glitters..I'm pretty sure I see flashes of blue here too. This damn glitter gets me everytime....must have it. Although in its defense, i dont have anything like it since it is a holo bar glitter.

Next we have "Fly" a vivid-squishy-vibrant- teal blue creme that is opaque with 2 coats. This polish is a dream to apply and dries very smooth and glossy

Now onto the pics:

Celebrity inspired Nails

Kimmie Kyees is THE manicurist to the stars. She is responsible for the cutting edge nails we see on some of the hottest stars such as: Katy Perry,Brittany Spears, Lady Gaga, Beyonce,Mary J. Blige,Lindsay Lohan & more
She has a line with minx nails & has now joined with Elegant Touch for her own line of press on nails. She hated that all the nails on the market were square shape. Her nails are oval shape. They can be cut, filed, or shaped in any length you want since celebs are rocking all sorts of Lengths and shapes.They come with adhesive tabs instead if glue so ladies can quickly change up their Mani.

I'm loving the idea and creativity behind these...can't wait to see all the designs in this collection.

Orange You glad its March

Idk what it is about march but With all the green floating around I long for orange colors. When I think leprechauns I think of gorgeous fiery orange red hair.
So lately I've been on an orange kick & after incorporating it onto my look, I've realized it's totally wearable. I went EVERYWHERE trying to hunt down the perfect orange blush. I really wanted Nars Taj Mahal :( but couldn't find her. Luckily another blogger suggested I try cinnamon from NYX. I'm actually happy I ended up with cinnamon. This is a beautiful universally flattering color. This looks super pretty on woman with a deeper skin tone...& going to be great through summer with a tan. I also picked up NYX liner in Pumpkin which is a richer shade of orange with shimmer. The liner goes really well with my Favorite orange lipstick which happens to be MAC Morange. This is a super bright orange lipstick but can be blotted lighter or muted with gloss. Top it off with Hi-Def orange nail color from Sephora OPI. This is a bold orange creme with great coverage & wear.

What colors are you reaching for this month? Any orange faves in your stash?

Sinful colors

This whole week I've been on a sinful kick. They have been bringing out the keepers.
First up is TuTu a perfect creamy baby pink with a subtle shimmer. The color is delicate and sheer.
Next we have Cinderella... A color that has the blogosphere on fire! Every blogger I know was stalking their local Walgreens to get a bottle. I was lucky enough to find her ;) and she definitely lives up to the hype. This is a light powder blue with a tiny pink flake throughout..very princess like and unusual.
Lastly we have my new favorite Zues. This is a dusty greyed purple with a fine pink shimmer. Gorgeous!

Milani Runway Eyes

I am a sucker for rainbows. I might not wear bright colored eyeshadow all that often..but something about this little compact screamed "You must take me home"
I love the fact that drugstore brands are taking more chances with color this year. These colors can actually be wearable alone or added to neutrals to jazz up your look.

These can be worn wet or dry. I've swatched them dry and the pigment was decent. When they are wet the color will be much more vivid & great for eyeliner that Pops!

Add a little color to your world ;)

Exude lip creme

There wasn't much to write home about in February's Birchbox. I still love this monthly program regardless. This months standouts were the lip creme & the cute heart shape file which I broke :( & don't wanna talk about!
Anywho Exude lip creme retails for 20.00 & is endorsed by Celeb stylist Rachael Zoe. I adore everything about this. Sleek packaging + innovative applicator + tingly glossy formula = equals a win in my book. I was sent the color nude. It's a gorgeous caramel with golden sparkles.
I'm going to check out the other colors on their website: www.exudelipstick.com

What are your thoughts on this gloss...and has anyone tried it?

Essie Manicure

Today I have my Essie manicure using Armed and ready from The Go overboard collection. This a a greyed out army green with a hidden golden shimmer. For My accent nail I used Essie Case Study a rich camel beige. This is from the fall 2011 Brand new bag collection.

This is a beautiful pairing. I love the contrast between the two colors. Making the polka dots is extremely easy. Use the end of a makeup brush..
Perfect dots everytime.

I hope you enjoy this easy chic manicure. I'd love to see yours
