Hey guys, remember my Mini Beauty Haul Post?? I said that I was going to put up swatches and pictures of the nails polish that I purchased. So today I'm going to show you the color "Coral" on my nails and my thoughts on the nail polish.
So these are all of the things that I used for my nails. I did the whole Sha-bang!! (lol i always wanted to use that) Any way here's step by step what I did...
You can purchase Nicka K products here http://www.nicka.com/

| 1st Step: Apply Base Coat #1 Since I recently had acrylic nails on my natural nails aren't that strong. They're more brittle and thin, so I make sure that I apply two coats of a good base coat, so that they can get back to normal. I'm using Revlon's StrongWear with Calcium. |
 |
| 2nd Step: Apply Base Coat #2 I apply a second base coat, most likely a gel that is targeted to help brittle and weak nails. This is Nicka K's Calcium Gel Nail Treatment. I just apply this on top of the Revlon base coat. |
 |
| 3rd Step: Apply 1st coat of color Now is when I apply my first coat of the nail color. I always apply more than 1 coat because one coat isn't enough for the color to be vibrant enough. (if that makes sense) So you can see that it almost looks transparent. |
 | ||||||||
| 4th Step: Apply final coat of color Now I have applied the second and last coat, it looks more opaque. (I always clean the edges, don't worry) i also apply a top coat, which is the Nicka K Fast Drying Top Coat. (you can see that pictured above.) |
I like this nail polish. For a dollar is is good quality but it is a little runny, that's why my edged look a bit messy. Also, the color didn't really withstand a week. I noticed it being scratched easily, even with base and top coats. Overall i like the color, but the quality could be better.
- There nail polishes are really nice, and are super cheap!!

Hey guys I decided to do a post on makeup/beauty related items that I hope/wish to get for my birthday. My birthday is on April 7th and it's really my most favorite day of the year :) I was going to do this in a video but it would take WAY too long, and then I would have to edit it and so forth. I was thinking of making a list with product names and their prices, but that would take forever!! So everything below will be grouped by brand, and in collages to make it easier. I hope you guys enjoy what I would want for my birthday and I hope to see you guys soon .xx I'll try to do a birthday makeup/hair tutorial video for you soon!!
I'M WARNING YOU, YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE A MASSIVE LIST OF PRODUCTS!!!
The items shown are from these brands below (shown in order in which they appear)
- MAC
- Clairsonic
- Boscia
- OPI
- Origins
- Lancome
- E.l.f
- Sigma

Most of these, I know I'll never receive, some here I'll probably buy myself :) But hopefully I get some of these and do posts on what I got and do reviews/post on what I love and what I don't. Bye guys...

I went to Wallgreens today to use up some of my coupons before they expired. I picked up 3 things and I want to share them with you...
The 3 things that I got were...
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash in Pink Grapefruit
Sinful Colors Nail Polish in "Island Coral"
- Ambi Even & Clear Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30
- Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash in Pink Grapefruit
- Sinful Colors Nail Polish in "Island Coral"
- I was running low on moisturizer, and I had a $2 off coupon for this so I got another one. It seems like every time i want to purchase a new one, the price goes up by like .50 cents. The product works really really well and as a result it is pricey. The retail price was $12.99, the coupon took off $2, and the store took off another dollar. The price for this all together with tax was $11.05. I really love this product but the price is the only downside to it. But I'm glad to have another one!!

- I'm pretty sure some of you have seen this product around. This face cleanser by Neutrogena is by far their best selling and most effective product. They have 3 lines of this cleanser: Original, Pink Grapefruit, and Redness Soothing. When I first started using this product, I had the original and used it until the Pink Grapefruit came out. Ever since I've been using it and it's truly amazing. I don't get acne anymore (maybe the occasional stress zit), but other than that my face is clear. I also use it as an exfoliating cleanser as well, with my skincare brush and it works just fine. This cleanser also serves as a brush cleaner for my makeup brushes, to get all oil and dirt out. I use this morning and night and I'm always running out so I but like 4 at a time. This is also a bit pricey, (around $7 a bottle!!) but its worth it!
Sinful Colors Nail Polish in "Island Coral"
- These nail polishes were only $1.99 each so I had to get one. I got this cute peach coral color!! I'm hopefully put up swatches when I get it on my fingers!
