My Look: Blue Cat Liner

Ugh... I'm such a blogging slacker. I wish I could devote as much time as I would like to my blog and youtube channel, but I have 4 children. It's summer vacation, and my husband is on swing shift. It's stressful here, I hope you all understand, and forgive me. =)

For this look, I decided I didn't want to do a bold eye shadow look. Sometimes I get frustrated at my blending abilities (stupid hooded lids!) I decided I'd do a bold eye liner instead, and you're going bold, you better go big or go home. So I chose blue liner instead of black. Enjoy!

Review: imPRESS Press On Manicure

You may remember from my Mom VoxBox post, that I received the imPRESS nails to try out. I was VERY excited about these, as I do wear fake nails. So for our anniversary date I took these babies out for a test drive!

Day 2 of wear

I received these in the color 'Glisten Up' which is a purple/ fuchsia kind of color. It wouldn't have been my first choice of color, but I didn't dislike it either. 

These nails were fairly easy to apply, it took me about 4 minutes. The little tabs you pull of to stick them on were kind of hard to pull at times, and I ended up misshaping one due to this. 

I noticed right away that they didn't fit my nails very well. They are very flat shaped, and some of my nails are very curved. They didn't sit flat against my nails, so I had a little gap between they 2. It didn't bother me much the first day, but by the next day day it was driving me up the wall. My hair kept getting caught underneath them, and it was very irritating. 

I fully planned to keep these on the full 7 days they claim to last. However on day 4, 2 of them popped off while I was washing the dishes. I pulled 4 more off that same day because I couldn't take getting my hair caught up anymore. Also they were lifting up off my nails pretty badly. I did leave the last 4 on the full week, and they did stay on just fine. However those were the only 4 nails that fit properly. 

The nails themselves are actually not a hard plastic, they are more malleable. I kind of like that, I feel they didn't dent up as quickly as my regular nails do. Due to the softness of them, they kind of roll with the punches, so to speak, instead of cracking or chipping. They stayed relatively shiny, but were starting to dull down by day 4 or 5. 

You can see it doesn't fit my nail, and it's starting pull up a lot. 

Bottom Line: 

I will probably use my $1 off coupon to get a fun pattern I really like, to wear for a special occasion, but I will take them off after a day or 2. There is no way I will be able to stand these nails for a week again, considering they don't fit my nail type perfectly. You can find out more about this product at www.impressmanicure.com

Have you tried these nails? How did they work out for you??

My Look: Summer Sunset

Hi my loves! Do any of you watch MacBarbie07 on youtube? She is just as cute as a button, if you ask me. She did a video on the $20 makeup challenge, and I just loved the look she came up with! I tweaked it a bit to suit my face better, but I love how this looked. Because I am so behind on blogging, this is actually a picture from last Saturday, right before my tooth broke (doh!). I have since had my tooth reattached, and I'm as good as new! ;)

4th of July Mani

     The 4th of July is probably my favorite holiday of the year. It's nice and warm outside, someone is always inviting us over for a BBQ, no pressure to buy presents, and it's also my husbands birthday! Fireworks are always a bonus ;) 

I saw an AWESOME holiday mani on Pinterest that I derived my inspiration from. I'm not good at drawing stars or anything, so I did full on polka dots. Still totally cute, and patriotic! 

I waited until the next for pictures, so I had chips already. Boo to that!!

2 coats Love My Nails - White on ring finger

2 coats Wet n Wild - Bijou Blue on rest of nails

Dots are in White and China Glaze - Ruby Pumps

I don't own a dotting tool. I stick a pin in the eraser of a pencil, and it works just as good.
