Complete Salon Manicure Collection by Sally Hansen

You Need
Sally Hansen-Grass Slipper
Konad Image Plate-M60





Sally Hansen has come up with a very good new collection, Complete Salon Manicure. The colors are simply amazing. Even the consistency and color payoff is brilliant. The nail polish goes on very thick, smooth and opaque. I guess it could also be used along with Konad image plates, it has same consistency like those of special nail polishes. I just made the design on my single nail, you can do it on all nails if you wish. I liked it this way better, in order to bring out the green color. Go check it out the collection at wal-mart beauty section.

How to organize Make-up Brushes

Yes Yes!! I know, I am too late to post this one, when everyone pretty much knows how to do it. But I still love to see how others organize their make-up brushes with their own style and taste. So let me share how I do it!!

First, the most important part is the jar type that holds the brushes. It is very important that your jar is a glass material, light weight, transparent and taller. I am saying it because I have learnt it from my mistakes.
Funny thing is, I bought this jar from Wal-Mart for around $10+tax and after few days, when I went to donate few stuff at Goodwill Store, they were selling it brand new for $2. Huh!!!!! So try to look for some good deals at your near by thrift or goodwill store. They usually have large collections of candles, flower vases and crockery. You can use glass jar which was pre-owned. Don't forget to Sanitize it thoroughly.

The filler inside jar are color fills (in white) that I bought from Michaels Store. I felt they were bit expensive, $12 for one bag and you need two bags to fill that jar. On the other hand, the glass marbles were much cheaper option I guess. They were holding brushes upright much better. I bought them from dollar store.

Do share what's your style in organizing your make-up brushes. Post the link in the comment. I would love love to see it!!

Nail Art Brushes Haul

I am so excited to share this with you guys, my eBay nail art brushes haul. First of all let me tell you the deal was amazing. None of the brush set cost me more than $5. The shipping was not that fast but good compared to free shipping they offered. I would rate all the brushes 5 out of 5 based on quality and looks(Sally Beauty Supply sells one liner nail brush for almost 12$). I don't remember the exact eBay seller name, but I will post it if requested.
Can't wait to try them........:)

Sophisticated Nails

I should admit, that I took pictures after 3 days of  my done nail art. Thats the reason why it looks so chipped off at the edges, but at the end it still looks shiny and pretty. You can tell from the pictures how much it is glowing. I don't like simple French manicures, they just seem so boring to me. So I added some flowers to it and looks perfect with your formals.


You need:
White Nail Polish
Black Nail Polish
Dotting Tool or Toothpick

Oprah's Avatar

Amazing isn't it? Imagine seeing oprah for real in avatar movie. Well that's not actually what happened. The real story is, James Cameron appeared on oprah to talk about his latest mesmerizing movie "AVATAR". In order to give her a kick ass surprise, he made his technician to create an Oprah avatar. So the final Oprah avatar is here. Oprah's take on it - " it would take lots of dieting to be that "

Orly and Stripe Nail Design

Orly- Rock on Red, is one of my most favorite color in red and pink combination. Not so pink and not so red, just the right mix of both colors. It looks perfect on olive skin tone, specially painted on toes. Flirty and sexy for high heels. After a day or two of application, the color darkens a bit, but retains the shine to it. Overall the application was good and did not chipped off for 4 days. I would rate 5 out 5 for this one

Grab one soon!!!





YOU NEED
Orly - Rock on Red
Stripe -  Silver and Black
Any brand top coat
