Lex Cosmetics is a great company where most of their profits go to a certain philanthropic organization. Each of the polishes that they sell on their website were inspired by consumers and their experiences. Peabow was inspired by Rhonda. On their website it says "Rhonda's flashy blue was inspired by peacocks. "When I
look at a beautiful peacock it reminds me of my creator looking at how
artistic the world is and as I look up into the sky seeing a colorful
rainbow is a reassuring promise."" One dollar of this polish goes to animal protection.<br />
<br />
Hope you guys like it! I know I did!<br />

This may be one of my favorite OPI polishes that I own, its perfect if you want to look professional or just have a subdued look. I always wear it on job interviews. Since I wasn't doing anything france-y (pun intended) this week I decided to use plate m57 (criss-cross pattern) on my ring fingers and stamp it in black. I always mess my konad up somehow but I still think it came out well. Let me know what you think!<br />

Since my dad and pretty much all my family members know that I blog they always send me news articles and things that have to do with nail polish and beauty. Instead of bombarding you with posts every 5 minutes (which is about how often I get them) I decided to set up a new page on the top of my blog called 'Articles' that will have links to said articles and because my dad always wants to be listed as a contributing editor on my blog I will list who shared the article with me. Hope you like this new addition, a new polish post to come tomorrow!Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556119636761344774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362912666323603182.post-61229531361243193142012-02-09T09:00:00.000-05:002012-02-09T09:00:19.243-05:00Lex Cosmetics- Nectar & Milani- GemsGood morning!

At least until May this blog will be back up and running with around two posts a week..not as much as I used to post but I just don't have that kind of time anymore!<br />
<br />
Anyhow, lets get started! Today I have for you my Super Bowl 46 nail design! I'm not sure if any of you know but I LOVE THE GIANTS. Love love love. (Cruz is my all time favorite) So, I decided to rep big blue this past weekend and try some new things out.<br />
<br />
For this manicure I used <b style="color: blue;">H&M- Spending Cash With Carl</b> for the base of my manicure and then I topped it off with a red stripe using <b style="color: red;">Migi Nail Art, Art Decorating Nail Polish Pens</b> and then a white stripe on the tips of my nails using <b>Color Club's Decorating Polishes</b> in white obviously.<br />
<br />
On my ring finger of my left hand I decided to go a little crazy and paint a NY GIANTS logo. I can't say it came out great but for my first time doing any types of lettering I think it was alright. ( I think it would have came out better if I had a white art pen to use but I don't so I used the skinny brush Color Club Decorating Polish in white again). Here are the pictures...I hope you like them!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/">Mesothelioma</a> is a serious form of cancer that occurs in the thin layer of cells lining the body’s internal organs. Sadly, being diagnosed with this cancer does not always lead to the most positive <a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/mesothelioma/prognosis/">prognosis</a>. Because of this, patients with this cancer can sometimes feel depressed and experience a dip in their self-esteem. During this time, it’s important to pay attention to beauty rituals that make us feel better about ourselves. A manicure is an ideal way to give yourself a pick me up. Looking your best can help you feel strong and confident while being pampered and relaxed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Manicures can be quick and swift or last for a long, relaxing amount of time. It all depends on the mood you are in. Plus, you can use ingredients and materials you already have on hand or make a trip to a local beauty shop to pick up some special items for your manicure. Better yet, take yourself to a local salon for a professional manicure. Particularly if you’re feeling well, getting out of the house for a few hours can greatly improve your outlook. Many salons offer manicures at reasonable prices and you’ll get a stunning nail care treatment out of the outing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Choose a <a href="http://www.opi.com/">nail polish</a> color that will cheer you every time you look at it. This can mean a punchy, coral color, a vibrant red or purple, or a sweet pink shade. Choose whatever you’re most drawn to. Try not to focus too much on trends or what the magazines are promoting. The important thing is that the color makes you smile. If you’re visiting a salon, purchase a bottle of the lacquer so you can do touch ups at home. Or, if you’re working on the manicure from home, mix and match shades to come up with a custom color that is completely unique. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">For an at home manicure, make sure to go through all the steps, just like a salon would. Rub cream into your palms and fingers, brush on some cuticle cream to soften the skin there, and file back your nails into a nice shape. Paint a coat of clear polish onto each nail, then two coats of the color of your choice. Finish it off with a topcoat of clear polish again. Make sure to let the nails dry fully so as to prevent smudges.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">If you’re not feeling your best, get a friend’s help. A trusted pal or loved one can do the manicure steps for you so you can still be proud of your nails. These small things are important, particularly when we’re not feeling at our top. By getting a friend’s help you get the boost of this grooming ritual without having to tire yourself out. Plus, you'll spend quality-bonding time with your loved ones.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Sorry to get your hopes up, I'm not back for good. Actually, this is just a quick post that will be followed by a guest post tomorrow. I just wanted to preface tomorrow's post by saying a few things. I was recently contacted about letting an employee from the <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance do guest post on my blog about feeling beautiful while having cancer. Although I know this is not a topic that I normally post about or what my blog is all about but personally having a mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer I know firsthand how important it is to feel beautiful while going through something so devastating. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I would really appreciate it if everyone would take a few minutes out of your day tomorrow to read something that touches so close to my heart and I'm sure many of yours because we all know cancer affects so many of us. Please don't be afraid to comment, leave stories about your lives and give Jackie the kudos she deserves =)</span></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks everyone!!</span></span></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><br />

Unfortunately I'm sure everyone has noticed that I haven't been putting any of my time towards blogging anymore. It's definitely not because I no longer paint my nails (because believe me I do it more than ever), it's just because I believe blogging is supposed to be a fun hobby and it just wasn't that anymore. <br />
<br />
I realize I still have some products that were sent to me to review that I will eventually get around to posting about but from now on this blog is no longer active. I can't say I will never post again on this blog, but it will only be when I really like a polish and want to show you guys or if I have the time..it will no longer be somewhere where I will post on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
I just want to thank everyone who has followed me throughout my 10 months of blogging. I really did have an amazing positive experience blogging with all of you and I can definitely say I have made great friends and acquaintances because of my blog.<br />
<br />
Finally I want to just show my gratitude to my followers one last time by having a final giveaway, My "Farewell Giveaway". Keep your eyes open for a post about this giveaway within a month or so while I shop for a few extra items.<br />
<br />
Thanks again everyone, this was really a great experience =)Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556119636761344774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362912666323603182.post-91895999336287602542011-08-07T09:48:00.000-04:002011-08-07T09:48:35.532-04:00No nail polish todayy =(Sorry there's no real post today guys, I have my family here from all over the country for my little cousins baptism today and my family reunion next weekend!!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hey guys, so I decided my plain Turquoise mani was too plain so I added a konad accent nail of a zebra print. I used the special konad white polish for the design and plate m57. Then I matte-ified it using Hard Candy's Matte nail polish (forgot the name) which as I said in my last post you can get at Walmart for $4. Hope everyone likes the little touch I added..another pop polish coming next post!</div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/206/32BF1EC3B5EECF4A573F74AF8465712B.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556119636761344774noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362912666323603182.post-19745127062787814252011-08-03T09:00:00.001-04:002011-08-03T09:00:30.018-04:00POP Beauty-Turquoise<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Today I have for you POP Beauty- Turquoise that I got at ULTA. I actually got it for free along with POP Beauty- Punk'd. I had bought Essie Matte about Me a while back at ULTA, never used it, and then found Hard Candy's Matte polish for only $4 (Versus $10 for the Essie) so I went to ULTA to return it and picked up these pop beauties which normally retail for $10 but they were on sale buy one get one free! Now let me warn you, I'm not sure why the color didn't transfer correctly to the camera but this is a lighter more green turquoise than the blueish color that you see in the pictures. I'll try to get more accurate pictures to you guys soon.<br />
<br />
BTW, loved the consistancy...if I new the formula was so good I would have definitely spent the $10 earlier =) Shown here is three coats plus a TC.<br />

Quick post today. This is Pure Ice- Purple Reign which is sold at Walmart (where I got this one) and more recently Walgreens. In the pictures this polish looks like a hot mess and I'm sorry for that but you really just need to trust me, go out and buy this polish now. The application was nothing to complain about but the color is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I hate pinks and although this polish is mainly purple it can lean pink at times and I'm telling you I still loved it. It has the prettiest gold (or light pink I can't decide) sparkle that just makes you want to look at your nails all. day. long. Ah-mazing.<br />

Hey girls! Today I'm showing you my first Borghese polish called Euro Green which is a bronzed olive green. I really love this color, I don't know how well it looks with my skin tone but I don't care hahah. The application was really great, I'm not sure if its just this brand all together or this color but the consistency was so good I'm already looking at other colors to buy! This was a pretty sheer polish but it REALLY built nicely, shown here is three coats.<br />
<br />
On a different non polish note, I got my hair cut on Friday...do ya'll like it?!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I don't know why I never got around to buying this polish sooner, it seems to be a staple in every addicts stash..and if you're lucky its the first version! Obviously since I just bought this polish about a week ago its unfortunately not the 1st version which I would have loved to get but its still a great polish. Mint Candy Apple is a mint (duh) green/blue cream with no shimmer or sparkle what so ever. The application was only so-so which made me kind of disappointed.. it was a little too thick for my liking. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I bought this polish at ULTA for $8 and I've come to ONLY buy my Essie polishes from ULTA because they still carry the old engraved better quality bottles which to me is a score...usually means better quality polish too.</div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/206/32BF1EC3B5EECF4A573F74AF8465712B.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556119636761344774noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362912666323603182.post-86187350363870118042011-07-27T09:00:00.001-04:002011-07-27T09:00:02.110-04:00Nicole by OPI- Green Up Your Act!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ppQCm7TtvL9QiQCFa4kHjUPy3hSm8tZ71oM-GmfCPLfqJ3N4p_v8KrTQJjs1bCTMg1wkRqTejdCX4wzL-WeLlDRruauxVCk2F5Oqn4clIXccB9YLGQLg4te28btgLA5CS3HB8A4E4s8/s1600/IMG_4668.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ppQCm7TtvL9QiQCFa4kHjUPy3hSm8tZ71oM-GmfCPLfqJ3N4p_v8KrTQJjs1bCTMg1wkRqTejdCX4wzL-WeLlDRruauxVCk2F5Oqn4clIXccB9YLGQLg4te28btgLA5CS3HB8A4E4s8/s400/IMG_4668.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have a love hate relationship with this polish, it looked so good when other people swatched it but when I used it, it just kind of fell flat on me. The weird thing is that looking back on these pictures, IT LOOKS SO GOOD and I'm questioning why I didn't like it in the first place! Anyway, asides from the color the application was no problem at all. I used three coats here, the last one being pretty thick. I bought this polish at Target for $7.50 but I had a $5 Target gift card and a $1 Nicole by OPI coupon so it was only about $1 and change. I'm glad I didn't spend too much money on this polish because it wouldn't have been worth it unfortunately =(</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">How amazing is this color? CC- Catwalk Queen is a vampy dark purple with TONS of sparkle as you can see in the up close bottle picture I posted. This is definitely my favorite Color Club that I own and this is for two reasons..1 obviously because of the gorgeous color and 2 because of the formula/application. This polish was opaque in 2 moderately thick coats and clean up was very easy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I bought this polish at Bed Bath & Beyond for $3.50 and that day I also bought Color Club- Wild and Willing which is an orange-ish sparkly color and I can't wait to show you guys!</div><br />

Oh my gosh. Living Water took my breath away. As many of us know, Cult Nails was created by a fellow blogger Maria from <a href="http://www.r3daily.com/">R3 Daily</a> and boy has her company really taken off..she just released her fall collection named Hypnotic with four great polishes! Anyways, around the 4th of July Maria had a Independence day sale where all of her polishes were $7.40 for that weekend. Before the sale I had seen some of my favorite nail bloggers swatching Cult Nails colors and I always wanted them but $10 for a nail polish + shipping just seemed out of my reach so I never bought any so when this sale came around I just had to take the leap. I decided to only buy one polish then because lets get real, I'm a struggling college student and thats all I could afford. It was a toss up between Living Water and Iconic (I really wanted Cruisin Nude and Captivated but they were sold out =[ ). I finally decided on Living Water and totally could not wait to get my hands on it.<br />
<br />
When I got the polish it was packed so cute, with cotton balls and wrapped in this cool paper (shown in first picture). The application was really good and after reading what it felt like 100+ reviews I expected no less. I loved the polish even more in person because if you couldn't tell by now the blackened effect is my absolute fav. and I wore it for about 4 days (I only took it off because it started chipping lol) I would have loved for the aqua sparkles to be more prominent but what can you do, its not my decision! For these pictures I used three coats.<br />
<br />
I will DEFINITELY buy another Cult Nails polish without question. LOVE ITT!!<br />
<br />
Maria sells her Cult Nail polish here: <a href="http://www.cultnails.com/">http://www.cultnails.com/</a><br />
<br />
Happy shopping!!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well okay so I was really hating the Finger Paints polish alone so I had to do something to make it look better. I had just bought Wet n Wild- Rain Check the day before so I figured why not, lets see how this looks layered. Although in my opinion it made it look better, it still looked kind of 'off' (sorry about the pictures, I did this mani quick before I went to work). I probably won't be doing this duo again but I can't wait to use this polish alone. I'm thinking it will probably take a few coats to get it opaque but I really think it will be worth it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Gallery Glam by Finger Paints is a dark navy blue with a slight shimmer finish. This was my first Finger Paints and I got it at Sallys on clearance but for how much I don't quite remember. I was really excited about this color, in the bottle it looks more like a duochrome purple/blue leaning more purple and I really wanted that to transfer on the nail. Unfortunately it really didn't look like that at all, it turned out pretty ugly actually. I took these pictures with a flash so the blue was really brought out but in normal lighting it looked like a weird un-pure murky black. Also, the brush on my polish had a stray hair on it which made the application soo hard. Stupid me tried pulling the hair out and that just created more problems but I finally got it out and the brush worked fine after that. I think I'll try this polish again in a while because I'm not ready to write it off just yet but my hopes aren't high. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I really enjoyed using these falsies, I've already used three pairs lol. I haven't tried any other brands yet but I would definitely recommend these, they are a little long for my eyes but trimming them was not a problem. If you are careful with them when removing they could even be reusable, but I have not yet.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">So what do you gals think, yay or nay on the falsies??</span><br />

Today I just have for you some random polishes that were some of my firsts ever. I've got to warn you that pretty much all of these aren't sold anymore and some of them don't even have names/ brands. I'm only doing this post because I was going through my old box of polishes seeing if I could post any for swap on my MUA account and I found all these pretties I forgot about!<br />
<br />
I'm not really going to say much about each polish because lets get real, it wouldn't really matter since you can't even purchase them but it's always fun to see cute polishes!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For this manicure I used Essie- Licorice which is a very shiny black polish. I also layered it under Pure Ice Crackle- Strike a Pose. I got the Essie from Target or ULTA a while ago...I really can't remember but it was well worth it, its such a perfect black. The consistency of the black is amazing, just liquidly enough that is opaque in two coats. I got the Pure Ice Crackle at Walgreens about a month ago. In the pictures the crackle seems pretty blue but its really more of a teal color. Although i did a pretty thin coat of the crackle it didn't crack as much as I wanted it to..for $3.99 I think it was definitely worth the money but I would not have paid more for it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">How do you guys like it? Have you tried any of the other Pure Ice crackles? Also, would you guys like me to post about the upcoming collections that are coming out? I know I see a billion posts about them so it gets SOO repetitive that I don't feel like posting about it but if you want I totally will!!</div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/206/32BF1EC3B5EECF4A573F74AF8465712B.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556119636761344774noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362912666323603182.post-78328213857467505732011-07-09T09:00:00.001-04:002011-07-09T09:00:06.186-04:00Stylish Blogger Award!!I want to thank <a href="http://lacqueredlover.blogspot.com/">Lacquered Lover</a> for tagging me in this award, I really appreciate when other bloggers tag me like this because it lets me know that my followers enjoy what I'm putting out and that makes it all worth it =)<br />

7 things about myself:<br />
1. This is the award I've always secretly been waiting to be tagged in. When I first started blogging I saw this award being given out everywhere and I always wanted to just "pretend I got tagged" (sounds lame now, I know). I always said if I got this award I would be "in", "accepted" so you guys really don't know how much this means to me.<br />
2.I'm addicted to Dunkin Donuts, I need my caramel iced coffee with cream and sugar ON THE DAILY lol (after I write this post I'm actually on my way to get one)<br />
3.I just recently received my first Cult Nails polish and ITS GORGEOUS, *swoon* I'm in lovee.<br />
4. My biggest celebrity crush is Drama Beats (Chris Pfaff) from Rob Dyrdecks Fantasy Factory. I'm actually wearing some Young and Reckless right now (his brand) =]<br />
5. I'm starting a GMAT prep class in a few short days to hopefully do well and further my education at a good Business School.<br />
6. I really enjoy Diet Coke. I drink it pretty much every day and I can never get enough.<br />
7. I drive a 2004 Honda Accord and its name is Fred.<br />
