The past week has just been crazy- we had an earthquake and a hurricane all in one week. You may not know but I work as a 911 dispatcher and I had to work the day Irene passed through NC and it was just insane. It generally takes me 20 minutes to get to work and when I was finally able to leave and go home it took over 2 hours because of the condition the roads were in. </div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've been staying with the boyfriend since his power never went out, so that's how I'm able to post this in case you were wondering. Yeah, I could do my post here but I got so much stuff and I don't feel like toting it over here just to make a blog post. Hoping that by Monday at the latest we will have power back on at my place and I can finally get my post up. In the meantime here is a photoshopped picture of my cat, Prissy, all ready for Halloween!</div><br />

Just as I woke up and figured out what was going on, a ceramic picture frame of my cat fell off my dresser and broke. This is the second earthquake we've had in NC. We had another, much smaller one back in 2003. Accord to weather reports it was a scale 5.8 quake and was felt up through Canada. We also have a hurricane coming through this weekend. Looks like the end of the world is finally upon haha. So, who else felt the earthquake?</span>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585688823608803603.post-77144690081298194812011-08-20T15:02:00.000-07:002011-08-20T15:03:29.286-07:00My Top 10 Favorite Fall Polishes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyvzloL1NY-xwpYedbAcXYxNYlUt0ssRBPNGi_bBTJW8t4ZE_g0VnIP8LSK6cJXBdNdgUQ5JnefkVDRCvyfEl-geX2uGRrXNaGUcUypQgChtzE0U2n4k9SpE8rDsMODcTYCKbA4GAsD0nP/s1600/fall_leaves-_Mariah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyvzloL1NY-xwpYedbAcXYxNYlUt0ssRBPNGi_bBTJW8t4ZE_g0VnIP8LSK6cJXBdNdgUQ5JnefkVDRCvyfEl-geX2uGRrXNaGUcUypQgChtzE0U2n4k9SpE8rDsMODcTYCKbA4GAsD0nP/s400/fall_leaves-_Mariah.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="color: purple;">I <i>LOVE</i> fall! It's only about 33 days away (not that I'm counting or anything) and I am so excited about it! I love the colors of the leaves, the cooler weather, and Halloween is in fall and that's my favorite holiday. Everything about fall is just so magical to me, it just has this atmosphere about it that I love so much. So, I decided to celebrate the upcoming fall season by posting my top 10 favorite fall nail polishes. I'm one of those weird people that like to paint my nails according to what season I'm in (light/pastels in spring, brighter/neons in summer) and fall polishes to me are darker, more earthy type colors and those are my absolute favorite colors to wear! Just another fantastic reason to love fall! Below I have my favorite fall polishes listed in order from my least favorite (even though I am IN LOVE with all of these!) to my number one favorite!</div><br />

<b>Nina Pro in Salsa</b>- I love this green. I don't think most people typically think of green for fall but to me, this just fits in with fall so well. It's dark and earth toned and if you layer it with a gold glitter it goes perfectly.<br />

I do tend to lean towards bronzes a lot during the fall. They just go so well with fall and this polish can be used in 2 different ways. If some of you may remeber this polish came out with Orly's Metal Chic collection maybe around 2 years ago? The collection consisted of this and a gold and black polish that dried matte. Glam Rock is such a beautiful matte polish, but you can add a glossy top coat over it and it becomes this stunning sparkly bronze polish with bronzey glitter. I wish I had thought to take a photo of it with a glossy polish over it but, alas.</div><br />

You can put a glossy top coat over it and the orange glitter in it just sparkles like jewels, or you can put a matte top coat over it and the orange glitter transforms in what makes me think of glowing embers in a fire place. How fantastic is that for fall/Halloween?!?</div><br />

It's a unique coral with golden shimmer to it. I know a lot of beauty bloggers were saying this was perfect for summer but it just seems more suitable for fall to me. I think in the fall I tend to stray away from shimmery polishes more, but this one fits in perfectly with the season to me. I also included 2 different photos of it swatched to show how multi-deminsional it can be. In some lights it's a darker coral, then in some lights it takes on a lighter golden peachy tone.</span><br />

</div><div style="color: purple;"><b>Zoya in Dree</b>- This is from the latest Zoya collection, Smoke, from the Smoke and Mirrors collection. I just got this one in the mail the other day but as soon as I saw swatches of it online I knew I needed it pronto for fall-and I was right! I am in love with shade! I don't think many people are into olive greens but I adore the shade! This is so perfect in everyway, I had to paint my nails with it immediately when it came and I can't stop looking at my nails!</div><br />

</div><b style="color: purple;">MAC in Dry Martini</b><span style="color: purple;">- This one came out a couple of years ago in a MAC collection that I can't remember the name to, but I thought I was going to have a stroke when I saw this at the counter. This is the most expensive bottle of polish I own but it was well worth the money. Obviously, I looooove olive toned polishes, and this is the king of olive polishes. You can't really tell from the swatch, but you can pick it up more in the bottle shot. It has this mixture of dirty brown and olive green. It is so unique and everything I want in an olive polish. I love this so much that I rarely wear it because it was limited edition and I have not found anything that is an exact dupe. But I am going to wear this one out this season. It is fall in polish form and that makes it absolutely perfect to me <3</span><br />

I had been wearing China Glaze's "Re-freshmint" for several days. I love this polish but after looking at the same thing on my nails day after day I get a little bored with it sometimes but don't always feel like taking it off and painting my nails all over again. So, what I did was use a silver glitter nail art brush and just basically put an "X" shape at the tip of my nail to add some sparkle to my nail without just painting a layer of glitter all over. I thought the silver compliment the pastel green polish nicely. It took me just under a minute to do this to all 10 fingers and I really like this. What do you think?</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have a few fall themed posts, including an massive haul lined up. I need to post more often than I due, so hopefully this will be the kick in the butt I need in order to get that accomplished. </span><br />

<div style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I honestly haven't had anything worth posting in a while. I've also been super busy and working a lot of hours at work and haven't had the time either. But I just wanted to make a quick post in remembrance of the passing of one of my absolute favorite singers of all time. The first time I heard Amy Winehouse's voice i was floored. She was so unique and talented. She was definitely what the music industry needed. I don't know about any of you but I just can't handle the cheesy pop music that you hear everywhere you go. It's been done before and it's tired. But I thought Amy was so refreshing and absolutely my style as far as music goes. </div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I know she got a lot of slag for her fashion sense (and sometimes she really did look pretty rough) but over all I really liked her style. I thought it suited her and her musical style. I always looked forward to what she was going to be wearing next. </div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am saddened the the music world has lost such a phenomenal talent. I know she had her demons and I was hoping she would be able to overcome them and come back stronger and better than ever. However, hopefully her passing will teach people not to use drugs, and to seek help if you have a substance abuse problem. The 27 club claims another. Above is one of my favorite songs of hers. I hope you enjoy.

That's crazy! So, today I am going to have a really short post but of a makeup look that I really like and think is kind of different. It's a yellow and brown look. I used glamour doll eyes "lemonade" on my lid and a brown discontinued Estee Lauder shadow in my crease and a shimmery champange highlight. It's nothing to difficult and I think most anyone could pull it off. I don't see a lot of yellow "everyday" looks on people and I think it is because it intimidates people. I think people think that if you're going to wear yellow shadow it has to be with some bright, bold, crazy look and that's not true. I've worn this look several times and really enjoy wearing it- I think it could even be suitable for work! Well, here are a few pics- let me know if you guys try this look out or post pictures of a wearable yellow look you have done! I'd love to see :)</span></span><br />

I haven't been excited for a MAC collection since the Venomous Villains collection came out in September of last year. I really am only interested in the eyeshadows and the pink blush, I think I can totally live without the lipsticks and glosses. But wow, those eyeshadows are amazing! I'm not sure when this collection is supposed to be available but I think maybe next month is what I read on Spektra? Anyway, just click on the link to Temptalia's webpage and you can see photos and swatches. I think I may actually skip out on that bright yellow shadow, the swatch just looks silver/grey and I want some of that vibrant yellow to stand out! But the rest of the shadows are just so pigmented and gorgeous and I have nothing like them in my collection, so these babies are a must have! Let me know what you guys think about this upcoming collection, what are you planning on getting?</span>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585688823608803603.post-66299766796972860022011-06-08T16:18:00.000-07:002011-06-08T16:18:39.457-07:00Sayanythingbr00ke is going to have a charity raffle!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/L86r9BLQ1kI?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She is one of my favorite beauty guru's and I think this is an amazing thing for her to do. I love animals so much and they need our help. I strongly urge everyone to check out her video explaining what she will be doing and about the prizes she will be giving away. I've offered to send her some China Glaze polishes to put towards the prize, so I'm hoping to here back from her soon! I am going to donate as well once the raffle is in effect. Let me know if you participate in her charity raffle as well :)</span>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585688823608803603.post-90089375575703961192011-06-04T04:51:00.000-07:002011-06-04T04:51:38.941-07:00Klean Colors nail polish and gorgeous ring from Target<div style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ok, so first off I am so irritated. I had taken several pictures of this mani I did using Sally Hansen's Complete Salon in "Fairy Teal" and now they are alll gone save one! UGGH!!!! I have no idea how I managed to delete all the pictures I took, but alas, life must go on. Since I did manage to salvage one picture I suppose I will still a post about it since it was fortunately, the best pic in the bunch anyway. </div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I can't remember how I discovered the brand <a href="http://www.kleancolor.com/">Klean Colors</a>, but I'm glad I did. They have the most unique and amazing glitter polishes I have ever, ever seen. I saw a swatch of one called "Afternoon Picnic" and thought it was just so different, I have honestly never seen a polish like it. It has small gold, green, fuchsia and blue glitter with larger hexagonal silver glitter, very cool! I had the polish for a few weeks before I used it, I just couldn't figure out how to use it and make it look amazing. Then I saw "Fairy Teal<br />
one day in a drug store and knew that would look amazing with it, and I think I was right. I wore it to work one night and the girls at work said it looked like something that would be on a crown, like royal jewels. How better a complement can you get than that?? I really do have to agree with them because when I first applied it that was pretty much my same thought. I feel like I do have to say that the only thing that really bummed me about "Afternoon Picnic" was that it went on really thick and took hours to completely dry, even with a fast dry top coat. However, it's so pretty that the drying time factor is worth it. I definitely plan on buying some more Klean Color polishes and reviewing them in the future as well.</div><br />

It's amazing, it reminds me of pirate treasure! It is a green cocktail ring that has iridescent holographic gold inside it that changes colors as it hits the light at different angles. I took a few pics of it to try and capture the different colors. If you see this one at your local Target I suggest picking it up! I paid $8 for it :)</span></span><br />

I have the perfect summertime mani to share with you all today and it was super easy to do! I recently purchased Orly's Bubbly Bombshell and Here Comes Trouble from their new Pinup Collection and could not wait to try them out, so I used both at the same time. I just alternated the polished on every other finger, but once I painted my nails I felt like something was missing. I had purchased quite a few new polishes all at once and was trying to figure out how to incorporate another one of my new polishes into this look. I finally got my hands on the China Glaze white crackle polish in Lightning Bolt so I just swiped that on my tips at and angle and in different directions and voila! I just absolutely adored how this turned out! It's so summery and fun looking and oh so sparkly, and what's better than sparkles in the summer right? My only grip about the new Orly glitter polishes is that they are buildable but I feel like they would look best layered over a similarly colored base as I was able to spot a few tiny bare spots here and there. Here are a few pics of my beloved mani, enjoy!</span><br />

I went in Ross's, I love to go there because they have great designer bags, shoes and clothes at reasonable prices. As usual for me I went straight for the handbags and was really not finding anything that really stood out to me until I got to the last aisle and spotted this amazing Steve Madden bag with roses on it! I was totally just drooling over it but couldn't afford it at the time so I made a mental note to go back on payday, and I did. I went back to Ross's yesterday and grabbed it as soon as I walked in the door. I was so worried that they may have been sold out but they had been moved to a front end cap just for me :) Haha, well, not really, but I'd like to think that. </div><br />

It looks like a piece of art that is still a work in progress, it's just a perfect bag for this time of year. It's very well made and a hefty bag that holds a ton of stuff. The inner pockets are very well made as well. You know how most handbags have that little pocket on the inside that are meant to hold your cell phone, but your cell always ends up falling out of it and lands itself at the very bottom of your bag? Well, mine fits perfectly in the cell phone pocket and doesn't fall out at all! Very impressive!</div><br />

I also stopped by TJ Maxx, as I also love their handbags and shoes. I wasn't even planning on getting anything, just wanted to browse but we all know how that goes... So, I saw these most perfect purple strappy N.Y.L.A. wedges and knew I had to make them mine. I really do love these but I wore them for about 10 minutes today and had to take them off. The straps are made of cloth which are super comfortable but the sole of the shoe just made my feet cry out in pain. I guess I'm going to have to break these suckers in. Anyone have any tips on how to break in wedges like these? I have other wedges but none have ever made my feet hurt as bad as these do. Oh well, enjoy the pics! I have a few new mani posts coming your way soon, btw!</div><br />

They had a ton of shoes in this place so I just kept on looking, hoping to find another steal and then, I saw them. I saw these AMAZING dark brown wooden heels with an orange strap with a buckle and gorgeous metal embellishment on the heels. I knew these shoes had to be mine. These were even less expensive than the Steven Maddens at just $3!</span></span><br />

There was something about these shoes that had a vintage feel to them and I was thinking that there was a good chance these shoes were made in the 70's. After I got home and did my research, I discovered I was quite wrong. These shoes were originally over $144! holy cow! These are not vintage shoes but high end designer shoes, and I got them for only three freaking dollars! </span></span><br />

I wore them to work last night and I have to say that because they are made out of solid wood they are not something you want to wear all day, but they are fairly comfortable for a good amount of time. They do have some wear and tear but nothing that I don't think I can't solve with some wood stain...or I might just leave alone, I actually kind of like the worn look... as long as they don't get nicked too much worse anyway. </span></span><br />
<div style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am definitely going to be going to more thrift stores. It's amazing what you can find in these places, and yard sales too! You don't always have to buy direct from the designer or a department store to get great designer items, you just have to look hard enough sometimes and you might be in for a surprise.</span><br />

They have some of the most unique polishes, great customer service and are always having amazing sales! I just read on <a href="http://www.xsparkage.com/?p=2814">Xsparkage's</a> blog about a BOGO Zoya is having for their new summer collections and had to take advantage of it. Basically, you can purchase up to 7 polishes from the 3 new collections, Summertime, Sunshine and ModMatte, and get 7 polishes for free! Plus, shipping is only $2! <a href="http://www.xsparkage.com/?p=2814">Xsparkage</a> already has on her blog the info you need to take advantage of this so just go to her blog and read about it if you are interested. I purchased the entire Sunshine collection excluding the green polish, Apple. I just wasn't so much into that one, but I think the rest of the collection is super gorgeous. I hope you all take advantage of this, I believe the offer expires on 3/26/11. </span></span>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585688823608803603.post-43343450863573684522011-03-17T16:14:00.000-07:002011-03-17T16:14:49.781-07:00St. Patty's day mani's! (pic heavy)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Happy St. Patrick's day everyone! I have two St. Patrick's day inspired manicures for you today. My family is Irish so of course we get into the whole wearing green, eating potatoes and corn beef hash thing on today- So I had incorporate some green nails into all the fun. The first mani I did last week was extremely simple. I painted 2 coats of Sally Hansex Xtreme wear in "Green with Envy" and then took a cosmetic sponge and using Sinful Colors in "Show Me the Way" sponged a gradient on the tip of the nail to darken it up and add some dimension. Finally, using a gold glitter with large and smaller sized pieces of glitter I just added that over the darker green gradient. One layer of top coat and that's all! I just loved the gold glitter, I don't usually name my manicures but I called this one my "Pot of Gold mani" because it just made me think of gold coins. Here are the results!</span></div><br />

I had so much fun creating it too! I used the same to green polishes as I did with the previous mani but added Orly "Green with Envy" (that's two polishes with the same name...wondering if the polish company's ran out of steam trying to name polishes?) and Orly's French Tip white polish in "White Tips''. After I did the marble and let it dry a few minutes I put one layer of Claire's Gold holo glitter top coat over the design, top coat and that was all. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

<div style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, today I am posting a mani inspired by winter. I decided that since winter is pretty much out of the way I wanted to get in one more winter inspired look and this is what I came up with. This look just totally reminded me of ice! I loved this look and the pictures just do it absolutely no justice whatsoever. I do have to admit this was one <i>major</i> pain in the ass mani. Just before I started working on it I popped in a Harry Potter movie (because I knew this was going to take a while and wanted to watch something long to keep me entertained) and was <i>still</i> working on it for at least 30 minutes after the movie was over! So, that should give you guys a good idea of how long it took to create this look. With that being said, I will NEVER attempt to recreate this look again, lol.</div><div style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used a silver chrome polish for my base and then added one layer of silver glitter over top of the chrome. Then I took the Sally Hansen HD polish in "Laser" and a cosmetics sponge and dabbed the blue polish over the tip of the nail. After that dried I (painstakingly) fished out the individual holographic silver glitters out of a random glitter polish and placed the pieces over where I put the blue polish. I then used these transparent holographic flakies that I purchased from Sally's Beauty Supply, and placed on the silver parts of my nails. This was what really took the longest because they are so thick and have a plastic texture to them that they don't stay down to well. I ended up having to put some clear coat on them and press each piece down with tweezers until they laid flat enough for me to add a coat of Seche Vit top coat. As with my purple and silver holo flakey mani I did a while back it again took several layers of top coat to smooth out the texture of my nails. </div><div style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I feel like from now on when I do mani's where there are so many steps involved I will try and film a video tutorial instead of just trying to explain step by step what I am doing. Especially since I failed to take step by step photos, which may have made it easier to understand what I did (but then would have made this post more picture heavy that I feel it needs to be.) So, with that being said here are the photos of the outcome of my 2011 winter manicure!</div><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

I have several new manicures to post but for today I am going to upload my last oldie manicure I did at least 6 months ago. It probably looks similar to my tiger striped mani, and it should because it's using the same konad plate image. But the good thing about this is it shows you that there is more than one way to play around with konad. Here I panted my nails white then used a turquoise, hot pink and bright purple polish at and angle on the konad image and just stamped it onto the white polish. It didn't turn out quite as nice as I was hoping but I think it is because I didn't have any konad special polish in the colors I wanted to use, so I had to use what I already had and it just came out way to sheer. But once my collection of konad special polishes grow I will try this mani again and hopefully will get the desired results.</span></span>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585688823608803603.post-43248856111296728952011-02-04T13:27:00.000-08:002011-02-04T13:27:54.405-08:00Xmas purses and Valentines Manicures<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;">I know it's February but I wanted to do a post on what I got myself for xmas this past holiday season. Yeeeaah, I'm one of those people who usually gets themselves a present for xmas...and for my own birthday. But what's wrong with that? I think everyone deserve to splurge and treat themselves to something they have been pining over for months or even years once in a while, don't you? Well, anyways, I went shopping with my mom and cousin over the summer and we went in TJ Maxx and I saw this Betsy Johnson purse and fell in love immediatly! I really wanted it but was having to be careful with my money at the time and ended up not getting it. I had spent about 5 months thinking about that purse and when I went back in TJ Maxx in December to finish up my xmas shoppiing it was still in there! Last one too! So I decided it was fate, I had to have it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;">So, as I was walking around the pocket book area just browsing, certainly not planning on buying another purse I saw this stunning Kathy Van Zeeland bag. I am a sucker for copper and bronze anything and this little beauty was just screaming at me. I said to myself "Don't let this happen again, don't pass up another bag that you KNOW you are going to be mentally going over in your head for months that you really wished you would have grabbed it." So, I listened to that little retail demon in my head and got that purse too, and I am so glad I did! It was worth the money spent. In fact, these are the only 2 bags I have been using since the early part of December. They are great and I am constantly getting compliments on both of them when I go out. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;">I realize the Betsy bag is huge, but I work 12 hours shifts and am unable to leave my office so it comes in handy to take to work. I can fit everything from my flat iron, makeup essentials, my wallet, a bottle of water, books, my work notebook, body spray and even my lunch in it! Most definitely money well spent on that one. And on my off days I just quickly switch a few items into my smaller Kathy bag. I love the Kathy bag because it stays on my shoulder without slipping too much and the lining inside is too cute! It's pink and purple zebra stripes. Time for pics!</span></span><br />

It looked like a super hot pink neon in the bottle, but when I applied it it was actually a neon red. An exact dupe for China glazes "Rose Among Thorns" which I already own. But alas...) and then used my konad stamp plate in M13 and stamped a black rose at the base of each nail. However, on my thumb I stamped a black rose and the right lower corner and then a white rose on the left lower corner. I put a white bead in the center of each black rose and a black bead in the center of the white roses. Three coats of Seche vite top coat and there you have it! I just hope I can keep this manicure up till the 14! </span></span><br />

Don't know what that is? Then you need to check out <a href="http://mysimplelittlepleasures.blogspot.com/"> My Simple Little Pleasures</a> blog. She is THE expert on water marble manicures and is so creative. The designs on each nail are completley different from the next, but as I said this was my first attempt at this. I really enjoyed doing this and I may make another attempt at one soon. I think the color combo I used is super gorgeous! I used a base coat of Zoya's "Malia" and then the blue is Zoya's "Robyn" and the purple is Orly's "Purple Crush" and then I just layered it with Orly's "Shine On Crazy Diamond" to add a bit of sparkle to it.<br /><br />I have to apologize for how blurry these turned out, it was so overcast the day I took these pics that my camera just refused to focus. But, I think you guys can get the idea and still see how beautiful the color combo with the glitter is. This is def a manicure that needs repeating!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c388/makeupfolder/nails/PC060129.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c388/makeupfolder/nails/PC060125.jpg"/></center><br /></span></span>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585688823608803603.post-11842176940482521202011-01-11T08:37:00.000-08:002011-01-11T08:48:26.579-08:00Tiger Striped Nails<center><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c388/makeupfolder/nails/PB290062.jpg" /></center><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-family: verdana;">So today I wanted to share with you all another manicure I did not too long ago, and this was so simple but one of my all times favorites! All I did was use an orange nail polish (I used Revlon in "Swoop") for the base and took Konads image plate in M69 with the Konad special polish in black and just stamped it onto my nail. I have to admit, I wasn't sure about how to exactly place this design. I wanted the design to cover my entire nail so after the first initial stamp there was still some blank areas, so I would re-stamp the design which caused the pattern to overlap in some areas and I just didn't like that way that looked. It's really up to you but I feel that just doing one stamp and then if there is a small amount of blank area around the edge of your nail it should be ok. I just think the overlapping looked sloppy, but it's totally your preferance! Anyway, here is a closeup of my thumb without overlapping, I think you will see that it looks much cleaner.</span><br /><br /><center><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c388/makeupfolder/nails/PB290064.jpg" /></center>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585688823608803603.post-38364933332371004072011-01-06T08:11:00.000-08:002011-01-06T08:18:04.080-08:00Zoya giving away 3 free polishes!<center><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c388/makeupfolder/blog/10166794-zoya-nail-polish-twist-collection.jpg"/><br /><br />Zoya is giving away 3 free polishes!

I thought today I would share with you all a mani I did over the summer. I Really liked the way this came out but it was honestly a total pain to accomplish. I used Sinful Colors nail polish in "Let's Talk" as my base. It's probably the most beautiful purple polish I've ever seen and it was only $1 at Walgreens! Then I used some really thick, chunky holographic silver flakes I got from Sally Beauty Supply and layered them over my final coat of Let's Talk so it would adhere better to the nail. After I let it dry for about 2 minutes I had to put at least 8-10 coats of Seche Vite over it because the flakes are soooo chunky that I could just feel the edges of them and it was driving me crazy, you know like how if you put a chunky glitter polish on and you don't add a top coat and it feels gritty? I just hate that, everything has to be smooth lol.<br /><br />So the final result was gorgeous in the sunlight. The holographic element of the flakes really sparkled and was so vibrant and I loved how it looked against the purple polish. The one thing that really sucked about this mani was that because it required so many coats of top coat that the polish was soooo thick that after a couple of days the polish just started to fall off, like my whole nail just peeled off entirely. Not to mention the remaining polish was a real bitch to take off, even with pure acetone. But if you like how this looks I would absolutley recommend giving this a try. I have some clear holographic flakes just like the silver ones but I have yet to attempt a mani with those, so I need to get crackin'! I don't think the clear ones are quite as thick as the silver ones but I'll try and do a post about those as soon as I can. :)<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c388/makeupfolder/P1010461.jpg"><br />here is a slightly blurry photo with flash, I was completely unable to capture the radiance of the flakes just right :/<br /></center></center>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585688823608803603.post-45538500785882340142011-01-01T09:39:00.000-08:002011-01-01T09:52:07.368-08:00New Year, New Life<span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This post isn't really beauty related but I feel like I need to rant a little bit being it's a new year. I'm really hoping 2011 will be kinder to me than 2010 was. In 2010 I lost my house which in turn forced me to drop out of college and move 4 hours back home to live with my parents. My boyfriend and I were living together in Lexington, NC and now he lives with his brother. We also loved our most cherished pet and what we considered basically our child, our pot bellied pig, Fester. Loosing him was really the biggest hurt I've ever felt in my life. He died so suddenly, there was nothing we could do to save him :( I think about him every single day and have pictures of him all around which does make me feel better- He's always with me.<br /><br />I also had to quit my hellish retail job in Lexington when I moved back home. I didn't mind quitting my job but looking for work since I've moved back has been absolute hell. I had a really great paying job as a 911 Dispatcher, a job I absolutely loved, but after 3 months of working there I was laid off because my idiot boss is incapable of doing her job correctly and miscalculated her budget and couldn't afford to pay me and 2 other employees that she hire- thus laying us off. I'm currently on unemployment which is really not helping all that much. I'm searching for work constantly but nothing yet. My car has also been acting up a bit over the past few months since I've moved home and have had to get my parents to pay for all the work it's needed. Of course now that it will be paid off in a few months it wants to act up.<br /><br />I'm really hoping 2011 will be the turn around year for me. I'm thinking about taking a phlebotomy course that is offered in the fall, and on top of that medical coding so that way I can hopefully, always at least have a part time job on my own terms. My long term goals are to get a good paying job and save my money up for probably at least 2 more years then try and move to Raleigh. I have always loved Raleigh, always something to; museums, shopping, eating, site seeing, concerts- you name it. I love the way the city looks and the feel to it, it's like there is electricity in the air. So anyway, I'm just hoping I can get a break at life this year, hopefully sooner than later and I can accomplish the few small things I'm asking for out of life. Here's to 2011!<br /></span></span>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585688823608803603.post-32893234153839470582010-12-27T22:46:00.000-08:002010-12-27T22:54:27.765-08:00A cheaper alternative to Beyonce's Heat perfume!<span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><center><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c388/makeupfolder/blog/PC070131.jpg" /></center><br /><br />Hey guys, Just wanted to share this great find with you all! I was shopping in Cato clothing store recently and when I was ringing up at the counter they had a few bottles of perfume on the counter. I noticed this really cute red bottle that reminded me of a genie bottle and sniffed...it smelled SOOOOO good! The cashier handed me a box of the perfume called "Hottness" and told me it was an impression of Beyonce's famous Heat perfume. I absolutely loved the spicey, incense type of scent it had and when I noticed the price HAD to have it. It was only $5!<br /><br /><br />So after going into Target about a week later they had an actual sample of Heat and it smells exactly like Hotness to me. The small bottle was $40 at Target! So, if anyone of you are looking into buying Heat I would suggest you run to your nearest Cato and snag up Hottness, it smells exactly the same and I think the bottle is way cuter than Beyonce's!<br /></span></span><br /><br /><center><br /></center>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585688823608803603.post-24298413188143966092010-03-12T21:52:00.001-08:002010-03-12T21:52:52.678-08:00Great nail polish giveaway!http://toxiclipstick.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Subscribe to her blog!

I do have a backup camera but I haven't any batteries for it so I hopefully I can get my lazy butt up and go get a pack of double A's.<br /><br />I got several polishes from China Glaze including some of The Wizard of Ohh Oz collection and they are freakin fan-tastic! Especially Ruby pumps. Makes me happy on the inside ^_^. Anywho, I haven't forgotten about my blog again, so check back soon and hopefully I will have some pics to share!<br /></span></span>foxycontinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721118002594686708noreply@blogger.com0
