This is some pretty snazzy nail polish! It reminds me of electricity for some reason.
This is sheer. I did a base coat & 3 coats.
I think I should have done a couple more for opacity.

Dupe for MAC Liberty of London Everhip Lipstick
I obsessed with coral lip colors lately.
I picked up an NK lipstick for $1.29 from an ethnic beauty supply store.
924 Coral Pink
I quickly realised it is a dupe for MAC
Everhip (Creamsheen) Lipstick.
This has made me seriously reconsider my highend lipstick purchases.
Left to Right Swatches
MAC (Liberty of London - Limited Edition)EVERHIP
NK Coral Pink
Nails Of The Day - (NOTD) - NK Heart Blue

These nails would compliment any of the on trend Chambray Outfits.
Without the flash, this looks like a dupe for NARS Blue Lagoon
The formula is a little thin. The metallic finish is a bit tricky.
This is 3 coats. (Along with NK Ridge Filler Base and NK Express Top Coat)
e.l.f. Natural Radiance Blusher - REVIEW
I decided to route through my hardly used box of makeup. I am so glad that I did. It felt like I was shopping.
I stumbled upon my e.l.f. Natural Radiance Blusher collection.
These gems are very affordable for $1 each.
I purchased all the colors except for INNOCENCE which I thought would not show up on my MAC NC50 skintone. The lighter colors could easily be used for highlight or stacked over a darker blush.
These blushes give a subtle hint of color. Some are more pigmented than others.
When used with a cream base, I find they will last all day on me. The texture can be powdery. I like the convenience of the small packaging.

"This exquisite, delicate, pigment payoff makes cheeks radiant combined with a healthy-looking glow. Infused with texturizing agents, skin feels smooth and pores are minimized.
INGREDIENTS:
Talc, Mica, Paraffinium Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Zinc Stearate, Titanium Dioxide(CI 77891), Kaolin , Petrolatum Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Iron Oxides(CI 77491 , CI 77492 , CI 77499), Red No.6 Lake (CI 15850), Ultramarines (CI 77007)"
COY mauve with shimmer
FLUSHED bubble gum pink with shimmer
SHY soft matte baby pink
GLOW soft pinky - coral with micro fine shimmer
BRONZED gold with shimmer
I love them all.
I give these 4 out of 5 stars. Why 4? Used alone, these blushes do not have staying power. When stacked over a cream blush base, and set with translucent powder. For me, they work just fine. The powdery texture may be off putting to some. This could get pretty messy if you are not careful.

Nails Of The Day - (NOTD) - Sinful Colors Cream Pink
Treo Pic Outdoors
This rich cream HOT pink is perfect for making toenails pop!
I love rocking this color with open toed shoes and sandals.
It really works well with my dark skin.
I did the customary
NK Ridge Filler Base Coat
and
NK Express Top Coat
This is three coats. I could have easily gotten away with only 2 coats.
Diffused Sunlight Indoors No Flash
Indoors With Flash (This is after a week's worth of wear)
You probably cannot see this. There is microfine gold shimmer in this polish. SPECTACULAR!
