Embroidered Emerald

Hey bloggerettes! I was lucky enough to pick up a bottle of Misa Embroidered Emerald and my goodness is it amazing! Embroidered Emerald is a burgundy based polish with green shimmer. I'll let the pictures do the talking because this polish is just too great to explain.

She's lovely on her own but I decided I wanted more of a green flash. So I did a layer of Pure Ice Heartbreaker, a green shimmer in a green base and Finger Paints Flecked, a green flakie in a clear base.

Misa Embroidered Emerald is currently hard to find, however, I found mine through a blog sale. I'm sorry to post such a beautiful color without a way to purchase it but I will keep my eyes peeled for an option.

I'm so excited to say this was my 100th post! I am so proud of my little blog and I am so happy to have followers that check out my blog from time to time. Thank you all for making this possible!!

Tokidoki Vegas

I picked up Tokidoki Arte Palette in Vegas back in December when Sephora had their free $15 gift card special. Though I have always been a fan of the Tokidoki art work this was my first purchase for any of their product. The Vegas palette features 4 eyeshadows(Pearl White, Pearl Grey, Iridescent Purple, Pearl Dark Purple) and 1 blush(a soft mauve pink with gold sparkle) in a compact case with a mirror. The packaging reminded me of the Stila Travel Girl Palettes but instead of the packaging opening sideways it flips up.

Blush.

When swatching the palette with no base/primer they were very pigmented. I used this palette once with primer and I was shocked by how awful the color payoff was. The shadows were very sheer however the blush was quite pretty. Lucky for me I received mine for free because of the special but I would regret this purchase if I had paid for it. Perhaps it would make a cute gift for the younger crowd. The Vegas Palette retails for $10 at Sephora.

Black Tie

Sally Hansen recently updated their collections and the Diamond Strength bottle design. The new colors are lovely but the only one I have picked up so far is Black Tie. Black Tie is an awesome black duochrome that shines blue, purple, green, and pink. The duochrome is obviously more visible in the bottle than on the nail. Despite that the color is still pretty awesome!

I couldn't get a decent picture of the color changing magic to save my life. But boy did wearing it convince others to buy the polish at work! Sally Hansen Diamond Strength retails for $4.99 at Walgreens.

Zombri being her hot skeptical self.

8 Years

Today is my 8 year anniversary with my boyfran! I met him a long time ago when I was a Sophomore and he was a Junior in Highschool. We've hit a lot of rough patches but for every bad there's triple the good! I had to work this morning but when I came home he had two steaks and roses on the counter waiting for me. We're currently working on our second bottle of wine so hopefully I'm typing this coherently, lol! To celebrate I wanted bright lovey dovey nails so I chose a sponge gradient of Pure Ice Twinkle, Sally Hansen Hi-Res, and Revlon Vintage. I didn't have any cosmetic wedges so for the sponging I used packing peanuts! Then to 'spice' in up I did some stamping with China Glaze 2030 and Bundle Monster Plate BM02.

 Pure Ice Twinkle by itself.

This combination is hot! It reminds me of a tropical alcoholic drink. Now I shall be returning to our anniversary festivities! <3
