I Did Fafinettex3 Smokey Browns Look

I did a look that Aubrey, Fafinettex3, did recently. I think she called it smokey browns, or something like that. I'm kinda meh about this look. I think my skin tone maybe a bit light to pull this off well.

I thought it would be fun to try and easy as I have all the shadows that she used. Most of the time when I do looks that she has done I get tons of compliments, but not today.....swing and a miss.

I think what I didn't like was how orange the texture shadow came off on me. It might have worked better if I used soft brown instead. I might try that at some point.

Is it just me or does anyone else go to sleep at night thinking up looks and pretty combos?

On a different topic...I was lazy and didn't put the top coat on my nails last night and paid for it. Got a couple of small chips. Gonna take it off and do something different. Plus my nails are starting to feel like talons...they're starting to curl a bit. EEWWW!!!

I have a Sephora color I think I'm going to try. It's very plain, I thinks it's latte something... I let you know.

Nails of the Week

Hi everyone!

Long time, no post.

I've decided to make an effort at trying to post at least once a week, more if possible.

This post is about my nail polish for the week. I generally paint my nails Sunday night, which usually lasts thru the week. Most of the time I just use one color, but tonight I did two. I think this is a beautiful combination, so give it a try.

The base coat I use is by OPI, its the base for acrylic nails. I know I don't have acrylics, but it works really well on natural nails. It is the best base I have ever used, you should try it!

The first color I put down was Mother Road Rose by OPI. It's a lovely medium rose shade without sparkle or shimmer.

On top of that I put Don't Toy With Me by OPI. It is a burgundy with fine red glitters in it. It was a special edition from last season, sorry.

The top coat that I use is by China Glaze. It dries super fast and has a high shine. I've found that if I sandwich my color between the OPI base coat and this top coat that no matter how cheap the polish, it will look great and last all week.

Right now OPI has about 3 glittery polishes for this Holiday season that would be pretty on top of other colors. I also believe that China Glaze has some glitter polishes as part of their regular line. (Ruby Slippers)

I used to be disappointed with glitter polishes because I was using them alone, without a solid color beneath, but now I'm very happy with them. They add that little something extra to your nails for the holidays....or just everyday!!

Hope you enjoy!!

If you have any pretty glittery combos post it as a comment!!
