2017 Project Polish Intro

I decided that I am going to attempt to do another Project Polish. I did one over a year ago that wasn't super successful (I didn't finish any polishes). I learned some lessons about myself and am ready to embark on a new and improved Project Polish. 


My plan is to only pick three nailpolishes at a time and update once a month. Once I finish a polish I do plan on putting another one in. I would love to finish 10 nailpolishes by the end of 2017, we will see if that happens. Many of the nailpolishes I want to finish will be already have been used so that might help me get through some quicker. 

The three nailpolishes I picked were: 
1. Julep's Meryl
2. Wet N' Wild's Wild Shine in Eggplant Frost 
3. Love My Nails in Manhat Red 

*If there are two marks on the polish that is because in 2016 I marked some polishes that I wanted to finish, none of them actually got finished.

NOTD: Sally Hansen Boca Mocha

Brown is usually not a flattering color on my skin tone. This nail polish is a great reddish brown shade that is perfect for fall! The nail polish I chose for this week was Sally Hansen Boca Mocha. With two coats it is perfectly opaque and with a top coat it lasts for over a week!

NOTD: Julep's Sarah

Happy 4th of July! I hope you all are having an amazing day! I realized that I wore my blue nail polish last week and so the only color I had that was closest to red, white or blue was Julep's Sarah. This color is a sheer pink coral with iridescent glitter. It is a gorgeous color, I am not a huge fan of Julep nail polishes but this one is better than others I have tried.

June 2014 Favorites

It's the end of June and that means June Favorites time! I love watching/making favorites videos. 

1. No. 4 Fleurs de Temps Volumizing Shampoo- I received this shampoo in my May Birchbox and I fell in love with it! It made my hair so soft and light with caused it to be a little more voluminous! 

2. Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash-  I also received this in my Birchbox, but months and months ago. I ran out of face wash and was looking through different face washes and tried this one and I loved it! It is pretty thick, but I added in some salt scrub and it worked perfectly to really get my skin clean and awake in the morning. 

3. E.L.F. Basked Blush in Pinktastic- I have been highlighting my face throughout the year with the E.L.F. Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter, but my face needed some extra sparkle for summer time. I looking through the make-up I brought home for the summer and found this and it stole my heart! It is so gorgeous and not too glittery or chalky! It is a great buy for $3! 

4. E.L.F. Blush in Fusia Fusion- This blush is a gorgeous pink with a little sparkle. It looks gorgeous on skin with a little bit of color it adds the perfect amount without being chalky and it is super pigmented!  

5. Nailpolish- These two nail-polishes are the ones I wore this month and I loved them! I have blog post on both  The Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Marine Scene & Wet N'Wild Wild Shine in Blazed

6. Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai and Blueberry- This is the best snack ever! I would definitely recommend this snack! It is a soft fruit flavored center and it's covered in dark chocolate. And yes, it is as delicious as it sounds! 

I hope you enjoyed reading about my June Favorites let me know what your favorite thing about June was! I can't believe it is almost July! Summer is flying by!

I should probably tell you the color it is: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Marine Scene. This color is a beautiful blue with a hint of green and gorgeous shine!

NOTD: Wet N' Wild Wind Shine in Blazed

Hey! I am so sorry I am been MIA, I started summer which means classes and school. I have been pretty busy this last two weeks. We should be getting back on track, so today is a Nail Post! I love this color it is so bright and fun for summer! The Wet n' Wild Wild Shine polishes don't have the best staying power, but the color pay-off is amazing! The Blazed is a gorgeous peach/ coral color that is wonderful in the summer time!

April Favorites!

I love the month of April! It contains my birthday and the weather starts to get warmer and most of the time Easter is also in April. It also means that school is almost over for the semester! Overall, I had a great month! How was your month? Let me know in the comments below. Below are the products that I loved during the month of April. 

1. Cadbury Mini Eggs- We are starting with Chocolate because who doesn't love chocolate? This is the best chocolate it is only available around Christmas and Easter time. Target actually had a white choclate version which was good, I still think I like the milk chocolate version better. 

 

2. John Frieda Frizz-Ease Leave-in Conditioning Spray- I have talked about this product before, but it is great! It leaves my hair so soft and tangle-free which is awesome! 

 

3. Head & Shoulder Dandruff Shampoo in Green Apple- This shampoo has really helped my dry scalp. I love the scent of this shampoo, its awesome! I also have switched up how I was my hair, watch my video (which is linked at the bottom) to hear the explanation! 

 

4. E.L.F. Acne Fighting Foundation in Ivory- I have been loving this foundation! It is $6 and has great coverage! It can look a bit cakey if you but too much on, but you don't need much! I love how you squeeze to get the product, you can get the perfect amount this way! 

 

5. E.L.F. Shimmer Palette in sheer sunrise- This is palette that you can use anywhere (eyes, lips or face). I have mainly used it on my eyelids. They are oily, but on my "normal" eyelids they work well. They don't have a lot of color, they just add a little shimmer underneath my eye-shadow which I love! 

 

6. Color Club in Aquamarine- I received this polish in my April Birchbox and fell in love. Here is a blog post, showing the nail-polish in different lighting.   

 

I hope you enjoyed reading! Let me know how your April was? Have a fabulous day!
