No More Christmas Cups!

No more Holiday cups! I knew it was coming but it never quite sinks in until they hand you that white cup! The employee at the window must have been surprised by my look of sadness when they handed the cup over. It's snowing outside here so it seemed like the holiday cups would have made the Starbucks trip even better...that being said my drink was still great. Thanks Starbucks! PS....I wish Starbucks had green cups with the white font. Oh well!

I picked up some great items at Target...I can't wait to test those out and blog about them. Still trying to decide if I want to start a YouTube Channel. I can't see myself doing tutorials so maybe just reviews, Outfit of the Days and hauls. I'm not too sure yet. Feedback is appreciated!

I know you can't get a good look at the nails in this picture but in case anyone is curious I am wearing China Glaze's White on White with Tinsel by Confetti over top. Tinsel is definitely sheer and very light on the glitter so it definitely needs to be put over another color. If you're like me and love glittery polish like OPI's Teenage Dream from the Katy Perry collection, you might be let down. But it's pretty over white polish.

Hope you're all enjoying this Monday! It's a very big football day so hopefully your teams do well. I have to show support for my Buckeyes! So go Buckeyes and go Big Ten!

Chic Red Nails

Hey All!

I am sorry for being MIA. I think after the surgeries I may have fallen off of the blogging wagon. Not that I was on it long to begin with but it is something I truly enjoy so here we go! I recreated a look of a manicure I had seen. I originally used this for the holiday season, but it would make a great winter manicure. I first used an OPI Top Coat, which obviously is clear and makes a nice starter for the rich red. Then I used Revlon's All Fired Up on the nail. It was definitely a bright red and this picture doesn't do it justice! That took about two coats. At first it came across as a little pink but once it dried it was perfect. I swear every girl needs this color for the nails. Very feminine and chic.

Next, since my nails were shorter I did a thin black tip in Chanel's Black Satin. There are plenty of black polishes out there that will do the job, but I personally think Black Satin has a texture that almost looks like patent leather. Amazing!

Now for the sparkle! I used Orly's Tiara in between the red and the black. The brush for this polish is thin and adds a very precise line. Perfect for this look!

Here is the tree from my bedroom. Sparkly shoes, blue and clear lights along with white sparkly holiday words definitely put me in the holiday spirit. I hope you all had a great holiday no matter what you celebrate. Keep warm as the weather gets colder.
