Rimmel London - Press Release

Rimmel Girl Georgia May Jagger Rocks the Cannes Red Carpet at the Great Gatsby Premiere

British Beauty Georgia May Jagger brought a touch of London edge and cool to the French Riviera. All eyes were on Georgia as she lit up the red carpet in a stunning fiery vibrant red Cavalli dress with plunging neckline, perfectly set off with this season’s hottest Rimmel London make-up look. 

Georgia’s skin was camera perfect ready thanks to Rimmel’s 9in1 BB Cream in Light. Her natural fresh face look was then complemented with a light summer glow on her cheekbones using Rimmel’s Match Perfection Bronzer in Light Tan.  

Georgia’s mesmerising eyes were accentuated with Rimmel ScandalEyes Shadow Stick in Bad Girl Bronze complemented with Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Sticks in Bulletproof Beige to give a subtle touch of highlight to her eyelids, and perfectly finished with a rich coat of Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara in Black.

But the real hero to her gorgeous red carpet look, was the stunning stand-out signature red Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Big Bang Red 004 that perfectly matched her Rimmel Salon Pro with Lycra Rock n Roll manicure. The Great Gatsby look perfected and personified. 

Candeo Colors - New Polishes

Good afternoon ladies & gents! I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend, I know I am :D! Today I have 3 new beautiful polishes from Candeo Colors that are perfect for the summer which is fast approaching.

The first color is called Julep.

Julep consists of iridescent glitters, light blue hexagonal glitters, translucent square glitters, various sizes of translucent hexagonal glitters, and shimmer in a white jelly base. The first 3 photos are 3 thin coats of Julep with top coat, and the last 3 photos are 2 coats of Dandy Lyin' Around by China Glaze topped with 1 coat of Julep followed by top coat. I found that layering with this polish is much easier than wearing it alone due to the amount of glitter it contains. The shimmer in Julep is identical to the shimmer in Dandy Lyin' Around, so it is the perfect layering polish!

 Next up is Spring Berry.

Spring Berry consists of barbie pink hexagonal glitters, various sizes of silver hexagonal glitters, and tiny holographic glitters in a pinkish-purple jelly base. The first 4 photos are 3 thin coats of Spring Berry worn alone followed by top coat, and the last 3 photos are 2 coats of Spontaneous by China Glaze with 1 coat of Spring Berry layered on top followed by top coat.

 Last, but certainly not least is Mahi.

Mahi consists of translucent hexagonal glitters, gold hexagonal glitters, tiny blue holographic glitters and iridescent glitters in a shimmery aqua base. Swatches below are 3 coats of Mahi worn alone with top coat, but it can be opaque in only 2 coats. This polish is so beautiful on its own that I didn't want to layer it over a similar color, but you could if you wanted to. It is EXTREMELY sparkly and I received numerous compliments on this polish.

I can't even pick my favorite of the bunch because they are all beautiful! The application on these polishes were amazing, no special application needed or fishing for glitters. The dry time is good if you do thin coats when applying the polish, and has a nice shine even before top coat.

These polishes will be available for purchase soon on http://www.candeocolors.com/. Be sure to "Like" Candeo Colors on Facebook for release info, swatches, and updates!

Peace & Love,

Feeling... Blue?

Hey guys! I just wanted to quickly show you guys what I'm rocking on my nails at the moment. This cute lil stamping design was created using Dandy Lyin' Around by China Glaze along with an unreleased polish from Candeo Colors as the base. I then stamped over it using Inkblot Blue by Finger Paints and plate CH33 by Cheeky. I love how blue and white compliment each other, what do you think?

Peace & Love,

May Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box Review

Hello everyone, hope all of you mothers out there had an amazing Mother's Day this past Sunday! Today I have a new to me indie brand subscription box called the Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box to show you guys that I think you will enjoy, so stay tuned.

The Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box includes a full size “Monthly Me” polish which is a polish made specifically for you based on the information you submit during the registry process. When signing up you can let it be known what polish finishes and colors you like and dislike so you are sure to get a polish you will love. The box will also include a “Monthly Mini” which is a mini sized polish that goes out to everyone that is subscribed. You will also receive 1-2 guilty pleasures in your box each month, usually artisan chocolates in the cooler months, or in the warmer months you will get a non-melting treat.

This is what my subscription box looked like when I first opened it. I love how custom polish comes wrapped up in paper to look like a piece of candy, so when you open it up you get a sweet surprise ;) (See what I did there?!? :p ).

Here is the box after I unwrapped my sweet surprise! The names of my polishes are Slightly Psychological (the full size) and Party Hearty (the mini). The chocolate I received was milk chocolate with a hint of sea salt. I'm usually extremely picky when it comes to what I eat, but I actually really enjoyed the taste of it! The salt is not overpowering and balances with the sweetness of the chocolate. On to the polish!

This is Slightly Psychological which consists of neon pink and reddish-orange hexagonal glitters, reddish-orange shredded glitter, and tiny white square glitters in a purple jelly base. My swatches are 2 coats worn alone.

This is Party Hearty which consists of a bunch of neon glitters of different shapes and sizes, and tiny holographic glitters in a clear base. This polish is meant for layering, and after narrowing down my base color options I finally decided to layer it over another neon! My swatches are 2 coats of Party Hearty layered over 2 coats of Orange Punch by Orly.

I LOVE  the two polishes I got! Party Hearty stole my heart at first glance with all that neon goodness, but I must admit I underestimated Slightly Psychological. The color combination is not one I would have ever imagined but it looks great, and I love the jelly finish. I think the Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box is an amazing deal, especially because of the quality of the polishes! Most full sized indie polishes retail for $8-$14 each BEFORE shipping , with custom polishes costing a bit more than that. But for $15.99 you get a one of a kind polish, a beautiful mini polish, and delicious treats. I would definitely recommend!

The regular subscription is $15.99/month which includes shipping (Unless you live outside the US, contact her for more info because you too can subscribe!), but you also have the option of choosing the length of your subscription whether it be month-to-month, three months, or six months, and you may cancel whenever you like. Glitter Guilty also offers polishes on her site that can be purchased without a subscription, whenever you like! For more information on Glitter Guilty and the Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box please go to http://www.glitterguilty.com/. Don't forget to like Glitter Guilty on Facebook as well for sneak peeks, swatches, and contests.

Peace & Love,

Retro Nails Tutorial

Hello my loves <3 ! Recently I created this manicure that kind of gave me a retro kinda vibe and I absolutely love it and hope you will too. I took pictures of most steps as I went along with the hopes that my idea would come to life and it did, so I'll be sharing how I did it for those of you that would like to recreate this look!

Here are the items I used to create this look:

• China Glaze - For Audrey
• China Glaze - Spontaneous
• China Glaze - Secret Peri-wink-le
• Orly - Au Champagne 
• Saran Wrap
• D191 Black Water Decal (From the Born Pretty Store)
• Top coat (not pictured)

Step 1 - Paint your nails the base color of your choice. I used Au Champagne by Orly as my base color, but you can use whatever color you would like and wouldn't mind showing in your design. Let your nails completely dry.

Step 2 - Select 2 or more colors of your choice. I chose For Audrey, Spontaneous, and Secret Peri-wink-le by China Glaze for a nice and easy blue to purple blend of colors. Using the brushes of the polish (or a dotting tool if you would like), dab the polishes you selected on the nail, leaving none of your base color showing (I recommend doing this step one nail at a time). Take your saran wrap and lightly press on the painted nail.

When you finish this step, it should like this prior to clean up:

And should look something like this after being cleaned up & top coated to assist with blending:

Allow your nails to dry completely.

Step 3 - Apply your water decal of choice, clean up any excess, and then top coat your design! And you're done!

Hope you enjoyed this cute and easy design! If you would like to see more posts like this, don't be afraid to let me know!

Peace & Love,
