Favorite Fall Nail Polish

Hello there everyone,I felt since it is the fall going into winter time, some people like to change up their nail polish to fit the season. I thought I would share some of my favorite fall/winter nail polishes. Even though the fall and winter time is surrounded by darker nail colors I love to change it up and have some brighter ones as well. Hope you enjoy! If you have any nail colors you love leave me a comment and let me know I'm always looking to expand my collection!

Don't Pay For Expensive Nail Polishes

Hey everyone,
Most people love a good nail polish that doesn't chip, stays on long, and has a great variety of colors. Some of the most common brands are OPI, Orly, China Glaze, and Butter London. Personally, I think all these nail polish brands are over priced except sometimes China Glaze. There are two brands which I have been LOVING lately that won't break the bank.

These brands are Sinful Colors and Wet n Wild. The main category of polishes in the Wet n Wild collection that I love is the Mega Shine. Both of these brands are super long lasting, gorgeous color selection, aren't prone to chipping, and of course super cheap!

Prices:
Wet n Wild Mega Shine - $1.79-1.99
Sinful Colors - $1.89

Availability:
These brands are available at various drugstores!

And the best part about these nail polishes are they have some amazing fall colors that are right on trend so definitely next time you're in a drugstore give them a try!

One other thing to mention is I do add a quick dry top coat every time I paint my nails

Update: I will write a post on some of my favorite fall nail colors!

Happy nail hunting
xoxo

Beauty Tips & Tricks

Hello hello,
I recently discovered some awesome beauty tips and tricks that I thought some of you would be interested in!  These beauty tips & tricks vary from tips in hair, nails, and skin care. Hope y'all enjoy!

1. After painting your nails, immerse your nails in ice water for as long as possible but try for 3 minutes. This will harden your polish, help remove the excess polish you may have gotten on your skin, and help from chipping.

2. Use a wide tooth comb to prevent split ends after you get out of the shower.

3. Use lotion around the finger nails when painting your finger nails to prevent getting it on the skin. If you use the lotion and you get some nail polish on the skin, its so easy to just wipe it away!

4. Use a mixture of lemon juice and water to help lighten your hair, to help develop the color all you need is SUN!

5. Apply vaseline on the lashes at night of course after you get all your eye makeup off to help thicken, soften, and lenghten your lashes.

6. Apply vaseline to the eyebrow and eyebrow area when you want to pluck your eyebrows in order to ease the process because it softens the hair!

7. Use a dryer sheet to help tame static and frizz in your hair. (mmmm bounce!)

8. Use cool cucumbers over the eyes to help reduce puffiness

9. Don't cake on your foundation because that's what concealer is for ladies!

10. Use a rubberband to get the perfect french tip on your nails.

11. Spray perfume on your hair brush and run it through your hair because the perfume will last longer on the hair than on the skin.

12. Spray hairspray on the eyebrow brush instead of clear mascara to help tame your eyebrows and keep them in place!

13. Use conditioner to shave your legs instead of soap to help prevent razor burn and help moisturize.

14. Use concealer around the eyebrows and lips to have crisp lines and help prevent feathering.

15. If you ran out of dry shampoo you can use a little baby powder to help decrease the greasiness and smelliness of your hair, just be sure to rub in well and brush through so you don't have a grey cast to your hair.

16. If you have hair spray or dry shampoo store them upside down, you will get more out of the bottle

I hope this helped and if you guys have any tips and tricks definitely let me know cause I'm always interested!
