Matte Me !!

So I've been saying I would try my Matte Polishes AGAIN,
Since I didn't give them a real try and I think I still have the samething to say about it.
The Look is extremely different and I love that about it,

However, I just did my nails yesterday and it's chipping BAD today... On the instructions of the bottle it says do not put an overcoat on top. Probably because you will loose the matte finish. So easier chipping !

P.S MY HANDS ARE CRAZY ASHY FROM THE NAIL POLISH REMOVER LOL...
You have been WARNED!

Both of These are OPI Colors

Dear Hair, I Miss You ...

[Photo is a braid out on dry hair]

Aww Dear Hair,

I miss you so much !! I can't wait to touch you again. Just one more week and we'll be together again. I can give you a deep treatment probably for like 24 hours or more! Then we'll play around and i'll braid you up maybe with some perm rods on the ends. Ohhhhhhh Dear Hair I know you miss me !!! .. Just thought I'd sing you a song right quick ..

Clears Throat ... No Judging ..


I don't know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.

If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

Newspaper Nails !

Success ! 


So I've been wanting to try this for a while but i've been super lazy lately..If you're TRYING to read it and don't know spanish GIVE UP! lol it was the only paper that I could find on my way home ..lol

So ..What Did I Use?

Rubbing Alcohol, News Paper, Essie - Sand Tropez, OPI - Top Coat


STEPS

  1. I ripped out ten pieces of the articles that were in the news paper and placed them to the side. 
  2. I poured alcohol into the cap of the bottle
  3. I used the OPI top coat on my nails and let it dry
  4. I put on Essie's Sand Tropez
  5. I let it sit for at least 20 mins or so to make sure it was completely dry
  6. I dipped my finger into the alcohol no more than 2-3 seconds
  7. I then placed the newspaper on my finger ..Not too firm because it will stick really hard and pull all of the polish off.
  8. I repeated this step for each nail and then applied OPI's top coat again and this is what I ended up with. 

I love this look and I will definitely try it again with more colors in the newspaper to see how that transferred onto my nails if I use white or even just a clear polish. It was very fun to do. 

Next time i'll do better with the transferring because I did mess up on my thumb and had to redo it because I pressed too firmly before I realized i didn't have to. 

If you ever try it let me know what you think and how it turned out.
