Orly Fancy Fuchsia Swatch

It's a beautiful day today and although we’re still technically in the spring season it feels like a summer day. It’s close to 93 degrees outside so not for the faint of heart.
I ran this morning while it was still cool and not having much to do (being a holiday I didn’t have to go to work today) I decided to pamper myself. First step of course is painting my nails. After searching my collection for a pop of color, Orly Fancy Fuchsia was the final decision. This is probably the most opaque polish I have ever used. I could have gotten away with one coat. It applies like a dream. It’s a gorgeous hot fuchsia and it’s extremely bright. For me this color is a spring or summer polish ONLY and think will probably work even better as a toe polish.

I believe this is a limited edition polish but I found mine at Ulta.
Happy Monday everyone

Chanel Orange Fizz

If a nail polish could be delicious, this color would it. It's a gorgeous milky orange creamsicle color. I adore it.

I know this shows different on different skin tones and even looks pink on some but on me it's a unique bright cream orange. Coral and hot orange are in this season so I think this is a must have for summer.
Thankfully this is not a limited edition color.

What do you think about this color?

Happy Easter everyone.

MAC paint pot in Rubenesque

Spring is in the air and it's time to adjust the makeup; One of the things I love using during this time, is this paint pot.. It is a golden color laced with peach and coral undertones. It's stunning and girly. I often use this by itself with tons of mascara for a simple but springy look. Onto to swatchy goodness:

Excuse the clumpy mascara here but wanted to show how vibrant Rubenesque can look all by itself.

Do you have Rubenesque?

Lots of love

NOTD Laura Mercier Oh La La

Love this polish. It's a milky ballerina pink color. I have several of these colors. I'm always drawn to them. This is softer than OPI Mod about you; similar to China Glaze something sweet but less opaque. I adore this color. It's a very sophisticated pink.

What's your favorite milky pink nail polish?
Hope you all have had an amazing weekend.

Blast from the past! NOTD MAC seasonal peach

I bought MAC seasonal peach when it came out with the sugarsweet collection. This polish received a lot of negative reviews when it came out because of how streaky it applies (which it does) but I find that to be the case with all the milky colored nail polishes I own. The color is very unique though because it is a peach with a very slight tone of pink making it easy to wear if you have yellow undertones (like me) and orange/yellow tones look hideous on you. I love this color. It's soft enough to be office appropriate but colorful enough to get me in the mood for spring. The below is two coats only.

Since this was a limited edition item, I'm searching high and low to find a similar color in a permanent form. If you know of anything similar let me know.
Hope you all are having an amazing week.

NOTD China Glaze Dance Baby

Spring is in the air and I'm craving pastels. This color caught my eye because it's a blue pink which lays somewhere in between a pink and a lilac. It applied really well. This is two coats but one careful coat would do. 

I love this color. Hope you all are having a great week.

Loads of love

Nars Hearts of Glass Eyeshadow

I'll start by saying, this is the only baby blue eyeshadow I own. It's a very unique color. I debated getting this for a year mainly because I love warm colors and they look best with my skin color. I shy away from blue eyeshadow period. It just doesn't flatter me but this is the pretties light eyeshadow I own. It's a very light blue with white shimmer. It opens up the eyes and gives you the effect of a wide awake and well rested look (which after running 20 miles yesterday I so desperately need).
Here is a swatch of the color. It's a shame the camera won't pick up the white shimmer.

I wore it with three coats of mascara and I darkened the crease with NARS Coconut Grove (MAC false lashes)

Do you own any baby blue shadows?
