If you’re like me you love the look of nude nails but can never get it to look right!  Polish shades are always to pink, peachy, or light to work with my skin tone.  I thought I was destined to never rock the nude look until I stumbled across this gem – Revlon’s gray suede!! It’s a perfect extremely neutral color -  kind of a beige with a lot of gray in it.  It’s a really sophisticated and classy shade that will go with anything!

Forget Rimmel’s Bare Naked, you have to try this!

I was bored one day and decided to try a nail design! After scouring youtube for ideas I found this gradient design, which is actually a lot easier than it looks!  I like it so much I’m going to post step-by-step instructions tomorrow when I do my nails again.  I’m thinking purple!

Polishes used in the above photo in order from base to tip: China Glaze For Audrey, Sinful Colors Tampa Bay, L.A. Girl Disco Brights Funkadelic, L.A. Colors Color Craze Wired, and Revlon Midnight Affair. The glitter came in a set from Ebay!

Instead of writing an instructional post, I thought I would link the actual video I watched here!

Here’s a few things I’ve picked up lately. I’m going to post a rundown of all my palettes (the generic ones) tomorrow, including which ones I would buy again and where to get them!

I am soooo excited!! My Sigma brushes are here!! They are amazing, amazing quality for the price ($69 USD – without a brush roll, $89 – with). But more on them soon, I’ll be putting together a full in-depth review on them during the next few days, and I’ll hopefully have it up early next week.

Here’s what I’ve picked up over the last few weeks:

Top: Sigma face brushes-  SS187 stippling, SS150 powder, SS194 concealer, SS190 foundation, SS168 contour/blush.

Top: Sigma eye brushes- SS209 liner/lip, SS275 angled shader, SS252 flat shader, SS266 angled liner, SS219 pencil, SS239 shading, SS224 blending.

Top: This is so cute!! A free mini SS217 was included in my package! It’s actually one of my favorites, so I emailed the company and asked when they will be offering a full sized SS217 and they said they’ll have one out in two months!!

Top: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in gunmetal, Wet n’ Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Powder in spotlight peach.

Top: NYX For Your Eyes Only 10 Color Palette in smokey eyes, NYX Runway Collection 10 Color Palette in champagne & caviar.

I love the NYX palettes so much I had to order two more!! I’ll be reviewing those in-depth very soon.

In case you haven’t noticed, I really love these Xtreme Wear polishes.  I think I have about ten now…haha.  Anyway, here’s another swatch, this one’s called gunmetal, and it looks exactly like it should; a shiny silver/grey.  It’s a perfect fall shade!
