Pinspiration #1

Pinterest is an amazingly fun and inspiring website.  Whenever I go on I always get so inspired so I decided I am going to do a series on my pinspirations! I should really make the post I did on s'mores my first one but I am lazy so this one will be lol. This week its nails who knows what next week will bring :-)


I pin dangerously tempting food photos, nails, cool looks, modest fashion, and even menswear so check me out!

Pinterest's version:



My version:

I looove the combo that Laynie used for her gradient but I wanted to stick a metallic and purple in the gradient (i am obsessed with purple I have purple and magenta shoes, nails polish, eye shadow, blazers, skirts, purses, if it comes in purple i got it.)
  1. Apply protein base coat,  - I used a protein base coat cause my nails are wimpy
  2. Apply white coat so the color comes out better
  3. Use either vaseline or tape to prevent a holy mother of a mess
    - i skipped this step cause i like to skip stuff and payed for it BIG time
  4. Paint a sponge with the colors you want the gradient to come out
  5. Paint two coats of the sponge on nails
  6. Apply top coat

Shiny freshly buffed nails - I suck at shaping and so I just pay $5-7 to get it done at a nail salon


WHITE topcoat

VERY messy but very pretty


Tada! (mostly) cleaned up! So pretty and each nail is different :-)

Travel Size Beauty

Behold my must-haves for every day use and thank god they are all under 3.4 oz so I can bring them to Cancun with me!

I am on a slow journey learning about skin and tailoring the products I use according to my skin type. I recently found out that the pink in my cheeks is caused by rosacea . . . who knew?! So I've been running away from any skin products that may seem ultra chemicaly and racing to products with more natural and basic ingredients. Lemme know if you have any recommendations!

Just want to give a shout out to my new clinque powder which calms down my redness in a gentle way with yellow tinted mineral powder! I will def post a picture of half my face done so you can see the difference.
