Nubar Prize and My New Hair

Hey! 

Its been crazy for me this week.

 Please excuse my lack of posts.

I caught a cold and allergies kicked in at the same time.

I have been having a yucky feeling birthday week.

I received a bunch of birthday wishes that warmed my heart. 

I will post more about my week below.

On to the polish!

This is Nubar Prize. 

It is from the Nubar Prism Collection released in 2010.

I bought this beauty off of Amazon.com.

Nubar Prize is pink toned red with holographic glitters.

It took 3 coats for full coverage.

 It also dries gritty, so 2-3 coats of top coat is needed.

I put 2 coats in my picture. 

But, a 3rd coat would be needed to be completely smooth.

The wear time was great. 

I had some tip wear after a few days.

I wore Jade Vermelho Surreal on my toes.

 It is a red holo that reminds me of a blood tint.

In this picture it looks really bright red. 

In person, it looks a bit different.

My new hair! I trimmed it to frame my face better 

and did a bit of a dark red to light red ombre.

Here are some flowers a good friend of mine suprised me with!

She is so sweet :)

And here is my cake my hubby surprised me with :)

Isn't it adorable!?

He switched the digits for my age, lol.

Thanks for stopping by!

My first franken and stamping!

Hey! I made this franken back in April 2012.

 I never wore it. 

I was cleaning out my stash and saw it and thought "why not?"

I put a picture of it plain below.

Its a purple polish with a few different sized glitter in it. 

It looked really plain so I tried stamping.

I am not good at stamping. But, I want to be better. 

So, here is a pretty good attempt (for me anyways).

 I added a coat of Hits Hefesto for a little holo action :)

I still have this on my left hand with barely any tip wear.

I put it on Sunday. 

Yay!

Close up, you can see my boo boos with stamping, lol.

Here is my franken by itself with 3 coats.

Here is another manicure I wore over the weekend.

This is Sinful Colors Bali Mist (2 coats)

over Color Club Pucc-licious

I think I had a blue shirt on, because that reflection is not the polish.

This is another manicure I wore.

Santee Blue Pearl 2 coats

Kleancolor Blue Holo 1 coat

It took 40 minutes for the Kleancolor Blue Holo to dry on me, that's with Fast Dry top coat!

But, the end result is nice :)

I'm going on my 3rd day and no chips, just tip wear on 2 nails.

I am still wearing this on my right hand, lol.

I put this on Monday.

I am getting tired of the red red red hair I have 

and I was thinking of going this look by Spring.

Still not decided.

What do you think?

My online friends said, yes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 22-Inspired By a Song-LOTD-Mail

Day 22

Inspired by a Song

Hey! Today's manicure is inspired by a song.

Tonight I am going to a friend's concert. His name is Rowdy B. There are a lot of things going on tonight. But, since we are trying to support his career, we are going to his concert. I picked on of his songs, High Life. I was in this video, so I thought it was fitting. I will post pictures of tonight for you guys tomorrow. You can see where my thumb is healing.

Last night we went to our friend Isa's birthday dinner. Here are some pictures from that. You can also see how I was inspired to do my nails...I had on a dress I bought from www.GreatGlam.com. I love to shop from that website. Good selection, true sizes, fast delivery and nice service. My shoes are my favorite brand, Jessica Simpson. My jewelry is from my store. The girl with the long black hair next to me in the pictures is the birthday girl, Isa. She doesn't look 36, does she?

Today's mail!

The Vice palette. I am going to try it out tonight for the concert. I also got a back up mascara and and a lipstick in Pistol color.

Different Dimension polishes.

Blue Christmas, Light it Up Blue (Glow in the Dark), Spectral Tiger (Glow in the Dark), Fight Like a Girl, Ectoplasm (Glow in the Dark)

Day 5- Blue Nails/ LOTD / Weight

Hello, today is going OK as well as the rest of yesterday went much better.

Although, I was pretty grumpy until the evening when I saw my kids.

 Well, as you can see I washed my hair and the

water took forever to run clear. But, its still red.

My shirt has black and silver glitter. I matched my eye make up.

Its more sparkly, but, I couldn't get a good picture of it.

I used a mix of different shadows by Maybelline and Urban Decay. Glitter liner in silver by Urban Decay and 24/7 black liner.

Maybelline lip stains.

Weight/Fat Loss Journey-DAY 8 / Hair / Make Up

Hello,

I dyed my hair last Wednesday. I have delayed washing my hair for 2 reasons. 1 beacause I know it will fade and I am dreading that! 2. Because I hate washing my hair with cold water, which helps with keeping the color in. If you look closely you can see my black roots, I like and hate this as the same time. I like it because it means my hair grows fast and I hate it because I will have to get it dyed sooner than later. I am going to work out after work, so that was an added reason not to wash my hair. I plan on work out HARD since I was sooooo bad this weekend with my diet :(

PS: My forehead looks huge! lol

My colorist suggested that I wear greens on my eyes because the red hair complimented it well. So, I have been. I tend to match my eyes to the color of my shirts. I have on Urban Decay shadows on and Loreal eyeliner and mascara. My lips are Maybelline lip stains, which I LOVE.

So, as I mentioned above, I was not good with my diet this weekend. I endulged on pasta and butter popcorn and cupcakes. I also, did not workout even once. Blah. I used the excuse that my husband was being gluttonis.

 This is a pic of us this weekend.

He is so silly. I was trying to take make up pics, but he was making me laugh. And thus, I was unsuccessful on getting a good pic of my make up.

Meal 1

1/2 cup of ground beef (97% lean)

My husband made this for his diet, so I just ate his left overs, lol.

1 cup of coffee

Meal 2

1 serving of low sugar oatmeal maple sugar flavor

Meal 3

1/2 cup Turkey and 1/4 tomato

Workout

37 min of cardio, sweating like crazy!

25 push ups

Weight/Fat Loss Journey-DAY 3 / RED HAIR / Make up

Hello! I just got my hair dyed red.

This is the first time I have had my whole head red or any color besides my natural black.
 I went to BeSpoke salon off of Roswell Rd. in Atlanta. 
Amanda did a great job.

I'm digging it.

This is my make up today.
Maybelline Lip stain in Fuchsia and Urban Decay eye shadows.

Weight Loss stuff
I have been doing well with the eating healthy. I have refrained from munching on any unnecessary foods and drank a lot of water. I have also kept myself getting on the scale...it killed me to walk by it this morning and not jump on, lol. I will wait until Friday I think...
Meal 1
Special K cereal and almond milk (same as before)
Meal 2
I was soooo freakin hungry after sitting at the salon
 for 5.5 hours to get my hair done. 
So, I stopped by this cool healthy food place in the Roswell area...I can't remember the name of the place. Anyway, I ordered a spicy Thai chicken wrap. I literally inhaled it and totally forgot to take a pic, lol.
Oops.
Meal 3
Baked chicken breast and black beans

Workout

I am so pooped today! But, I promised to do a workout everyday. 

So, I did a total of 50 push ups and 100 sit ups and called it a night.

OPI-The One That Got Away / Red Hair / Make Up

Today's mani is not my favorite. But, it'll do for the day, lol. Its gloomy outside here in Atlanta, so I didn't wear holo polish (I really wanted to wear a Jade today). Its supposed to be rainy all week....Oh well. This is OPI The One That Got Away (2 coats) topped with (1 coat ) OPI I Lily Love You and (1 coat) OPI Teenage Dream.

This does remind me of something I haven't told anyone besides my husband. I plan on dying my hair this color. My hair is really long and I don't want to cut it. I actually want to grow it longer. However, I do want something different. That leaves the color. My husband really liked it when I had red highlights. I figured that would be the color I would go for since fall is approaching. Here are a few pics of the color I hope to get.
My hair is about as long as the lengths in the pic. I love Demi Lovato's hair. We both have similar skintone, face shape and length of hair. I thought the red looked great on her, so I hope it translates the same on me. I plan to go tomorrow to get my hair dyed. I will post pics :)

This is a pic of me from about 3 weeks ago.

Here is today's make up

I do not have any foundation or powder on. 

I usually just wear eye make up, blush, and lipgloss on a daily basis.

Milani eye shadow stick in Royal Purple with Urban Decay Omen (Purple), Tainted (Pink) and Vanilla (Cream) blended in. Urban Decay eye primer.

I am sure you know about how utterly

 awesome Urban Decay eye shadows are to wear.

But, did you know how cool the Milani eye shadow sticks are? I bought them at CVS for about $6.49 each. I really recommend these! 

My lips are Milani Fashion Diva lip gloss.

The gloss is so so. I would not push anyone to buy it.

But, it gets the job done.

My blush is NYX. I can't remember the color. It was about a dollar. I have been looking for a good blush. This one is doing the job until that search is over, lol.
