Cheap Nail Polish As Good As A Gel Manicure!!

This has been a little beauty secret of mine for years. Plus it's a product that I cannot stop purchasing because it's that amazing! Let's just take a minute to really contemplate how much money we spend on our nails. Some girls might put their money into get acrylic or gel tips which can really add up over time. Or how about those gel manicures that last you awhile but can still be rather costly. Either way the goal is to have a gorgeous set of nails that can last through any bumps and bruises.

There is nothing worse than getting your nails done and then hours later they are either chipping or still wet from when you got them done. In our fast paced world, we are running around and creating tightly organized schedules. So we need our nails to uphold themselves and stay polished to perfection.

I came across these nail polishes when I was browsing my local CVS Pharmacy. I passed the NYC makeup display and the nail polish colors caught my attention. What continued to hold my gaze was the prices. They were $1.99 a bottle! I mean come on, even if I spent that small amount of money and they stunk then okay I wouldn't really feel too bad about that. So I purchased a couple colors and also the clear coat. After I painted my nails and added the top coat, I was so surprised by a couple different things. First off the color was beautiful and the consistency was nice and thick. No streaking or bumpiness. Then what shocked me the most was how fast my nails dried after I put on the top coat. I was ready to go about my day in under 5 minutes.

To this day the NYC clear topcoat is the only cheap and affordable topcoat that is just as good (or maybe even better) than the popular Seche Vite. I've used this topcoat over many different brands and it never fails me. It's always made my nail polish dry super fast and given my nails that gel manicure look. I'm telling you, people always ask me if it's a gel manicure every single time haha.

So I hope you enjoy this fun beauty secret of mine. Next time you are in CVS stop by the NYC makeup display and grab yourself some of their amazing nail polishes :)

On my nails I'm wearing the color Fashion Safari and the Clear Topcoat!

Ciao my beauties!!

Best Website to Buy False Lashes!!

Sometimes you might not feel like buying expensive mink lashes, but you want to build your stock of lashes especially if you are a make-up lover. Personally I think false lashes are amazing. You can get big fluttery fake lashes or you can go with light wispy lashes for everyday wear. Either way they are a great way to pull a makeup look together. My favorite website to buy lashes from is ikatehouse. I have always bought my false lashes from this website and every single time, they amaze me with their quality products and customer service.





You can choose from great brands like Red Cherry, Ardell, KISS, and so many more. What's even more amazing is that they sell makeup as well! They carry NYX <3 come onnnn you can't beat that haha!

The best news yet, they ship their products out super fast! I usually get my products within 2 days of ordering. I mean I have never experienced such fast service in my life. They package the products so delicately and in the most adorable way. I absolutely love buying from this company and I hope to see them grow and flourish!


So next time you are looking for some great false lashes, head over to ikatehouse and grab a few pairs!!


Ciao my beauties! <3

Summer 2015 Inspo Board

So last summer I wrote a blog post about some of my favorite photos that I use for fashion inspiration. I personally love inspo boards because you can use them for anything! Whenever you have a goal that you want to reach or something that is important to you, make a collage of everything that is connected to it. You can use this as motivation to get to any goal you might have.

I've used inspo boards to motivate myself to become more open to new fashion styles and help me organize my list of clothes to add to my wardrobe. I've also used inspo boards to stay motivated in being positive and mentally strong. I've clipped photos that were connected to any of those thoughts and that would trigger something positive within me. That's the key and once my collage of photos and thoughts are complete, I put them in a beautiful frame and leave it somewhere in my room where I can see it everyday.

My small inspo post for today will be a collection of photos that have really caught me eye and inspired me to coordinate new styles. I hope you enjoy and try out an inspo board, you'll be surprised how powerful they can be.

Have a beautiful day!

Ciao!!
