The products and links are listed below. Some of them seem to be hard to find. Of course, I would pick things that will be difficult to replace LOL.

Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez collection in love song

A pretty medium purple color that stays on great! Put a few coats on, as it's in between sheer and opaque. It grew out before it chipped. That's a winner in my book

Sephora by OPI in tempted by teal

The picture doesn't do it justice. It is a dark teal that has a shimmery golden color throughout it. It's SO pretty and hits the light just right. It reminds me of what a mermaid would wear if mermaids wore nail polish.

L'oreal brow powderist



http://www.amazon.com/LOreal-Paris-Powderist-Redefining-Powder/dp/B00CQB3KNA

This is a super easy to use and awesome product. I fill my brows in with the darker color and an angled eyeliner brush and set it with a clear eyebrow gel. It makes a big difference and frames your face.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara

This mascara is super easy to use. And it doesn't clump, which is a must to me. It makes your lashes look dramatic and dark, but not too much. You can definitely wear it on a daily basis.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Twinkle



This apparently was a special edition color so it's really hard to find (and pretty much only available online for a super crazy price), but it's just a peachy lip balm. I just use it under other colors, so really any balm would work!

Covergirl nature luxe gloss balm in grenache



http://www.amazon.com/Covergirl-Natureluxe-Gloss-Grenache-0-067-Ounce/dp/B0043TZO5A

This can be a little drying, so I use a balm under it and dap it on instead of rubbing. It's a pretty nudey color which makes my lips look natural instead of pale! I'm so pale my lips are pale LOL

PERSONALIZED PLAYING CARDS

I got these at the website above. Look out for deals, as I was able to get them for super inexpensive.

My love/hate relationship with glitter nail polish!

Glitter nail polish. It's so pretty and creates a fancy look with little effort. But every single time I go to take it off, I remember why I dread the process. It is seriously impossible! You have to scrub your nails to get every bit of glitter off, and I always end up using 4 times as many cotton balls than with normal polish. Plus, if you're anything like me and pick at the skin around your nails, the nail polish remover feels pretty awful in those cuts. If you've ever experienced this, you can understand! Overall, it's always a horrible time. Yet I can't give up my pretty sparkly polishes!

Can't disagree with that!

This last time, I was wearing one of my favorites, The Kardashian Collection Nicole by O.P.I. Wear Something Spar-Kylie. (http://www.nicolebyopi.com/products/wear-something-spar-kylie) Besides the super adorable name, it's a beautifully colored polish! The perfect pink with the perfect amount of sparkles. The easily girly nail polish that you only need one coat of. WIN! (Disclaimer: This is my total honest opinion and is not sponsored in any way!)

I mean, how cute is this??

Here's an instagram picture I took while wearing it. (www.instagram.com/stifinitumah)

 

 

What's an annoying part of your beauty routine you just cannot give up despite the amount of work it takes? I am definitely the type of girl who can't stand not having nail polish on. It's so pretty and I love adding different shades, brands, and colors to my collection. Such a fun and easy way to spice up  your look. I change my color usually once a week. Sometimes it gets frustrating waiting for it to dry or if the polish doesn't apply evenly. Or if I'm tired, but my nail polish is chippy and I can't stand not to fix it. But hands down, my biggest complaint is taking off glitter nail polish. However, that will not deter me from using all my sparkly colors and even adding new ones to my collection!!!
