The NEUTRAL Rainbow

[NAIL POLISH]

HEY EVERYONE!! HAPPY DECEMBER! If I haven’t said that yet  :P So excited that the “MERRY” month has arrived! Though to be honest … November is probably my favorite month since Thanksgiving is my ALL TIME FAVORITE holiday is in this month as well as the change in season … when you can actually feel the season changing to Fall especially in sunny California lol. Okay enough said about November … let’s get down to business! To defeat … the HUNS! :) Today’s post is about my recent  purchase at Target on NAIL POLISH!  My mom, sister and I have just CLEANED out our old nail polishes from our little “nail polish bag” ( You know the ones that have become EXTREMELY thick, dry and CRUSTY … but for some reason you just keep and have no idea why. YEAH! So there was a 25% off all beauty items at Target and I just recently got a Target REDcard (yay 5%!) AND to top that … Essie was having a 10% on Cartwheel (which by the way if you haven’t discovered this APP you should! It’s an app with additional discount “coupons” at Target! Very easy to use so check it out to save some extra  money :D) Anyways I said to myself … “What the hey, let’s buy some Essie Nail Polish” Since the Essie brand has just a great “rave” I’d thought I give it a try. I bought  6 different shades … all in a pink/grayish color. My thoughts on my purchase were to buy polish that I could use on an everyday basis but also be professional with.  So I was immediately drawn to the “nude”/ “natural “shades.

 From left to right:

1 Ballet Slippers, 2 Fiji, 3 Eternal Optimist, 4 Chinchilly, 5 Smokin’ Hot, 6 Berry Naughty

** NOTE: The color swatches given through the internet doesn't ALWAYS match the colors seen in real life

Smokin’ Hot, and Berry Naughty wasn’t really a “nude” polish but I really liked the gray pigment of the Smokin’ Hot. That color was like a shade darker than the Chinchilly which seemed very much a neutral tone.  The Berry Naughty … Despite the NAME! Just kidding :P I really liked this dark wine/blood red color it gave off that red tone but not that “too bright red”  that stands out.. It also reminded me of Christmas so I had to get it. So I guess it is considered “neutral” in my eyes lol.

Nude nail polish is just an easy “go to” color whether you have an interview, want to be professional and clean, or just plain simple. I feel like these colors are the way to go.

The first color I started using was "Chinchilly" because it looked like "shrimppaste" HAH! 

What is your favorite “nude” or “neutral” nail color? Please share! I’d love to hear it!

New Year = An Even Better YOU!

HELLO my LOVELY followers :) Again I just want to say thank you so much for following and reading my nonsense :) I really do appreciate that my rants, thoughts and comments entertain you in some way :P You have been such a great ear to lean on when I need to just let something out :) Anyways!! This year has been a great change for me. I mean this in a good way! Everything is changing and I'm actually learning how to be an adult. Though I have been an adult  for a while now...LOL its still a big change for myself. Let's just say I've been sheltered for way too long and been kept inside like a hermit where I only knew of studying and video games LOL but now its different. Different in a good way. For the new start, I got a job that pertains to my major :) even though its a lot of work, my job gives me such satisfaction <3 I also cut my hair! was able to cut at least 8 inches to donate to charity :) organize my time so that I can hang out with the people who is most important to me AND!! find myself :D I just have to keep telling myself that its gonna be okay. Everything will be okay.

BYE BYE 2014!

Before it hits 2015 I just want to wish you all a very very Happy New Year! Hopefully 2015 will bring you much more happiness,love & memorable adventures :)


Make it another great year <3
