Hey Nubians,
By Halloween Nails, I Meant A Sweet Cameo By Michael Myers Himself!
I wanted to give myself a 'Fall is approaching' manicure but didn't want to go straight for orange or hunter green which are usually my go-to colors. I decided to do a cool grey nail. I had the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color 'Show Steeler' nail polish which I had never used and it was just what I was looking for. Perfection. I love the color! It's a little something different. It dries very quickly which is a big perk for my clumsy butt and it has a pretty shine to it without needing a clear top coat. My nails feel so pretty. I'm very picky with nail polish but I highly recommend the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line. I've had good experiences with it. I despise when the color on my nails chips quickly and that doesn't happen with Insta-Dri.

Hello Nubians,
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” ― Anne Frank
Lately I've been spending a lot of ME time. I think every so often we should all do it. Kind of hibernate from the world a little and find inner peace. I've been working on a lot of projects, enjoying nature, working on my blog, working out, and focusing on bettering myself and being happy. However, I still like to get dressed up! I love doing my hair, makeup, getting dressed, and looking stylish every day.
On another note, I'm smitten with neutral colored makeup. I've been obsessed with eyeshadows that are red and almost like a burnt orange. Those color tones are so beautiful to me especially during this time of the year.
Remember to always get up, get dressed, and be the best you that you can be every single day. It may sound a little cliche or I may sound like an instagram quote ha ha but it's true.
I'm Looking forward to the first few months and everything this new year will bring. How are you guys doing? What's new?

Tribal designs are never out of trend either... at least not for me.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.

Hello Nubians,
Happy Monday My Beautiful Babes!

Happy Monday My Beautiful Babes!
I made a YouTube video tutorial this weekend showing you how to get a gorgeous, retro, dramatic cat eye. This look was used a lot during the 60's and 70's by ladies such as Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy and more. Also, since glitter has been so popular lately, I decided to add some to this look! Fun stuff. All you'll need for this look is a nice eye liner, a good eye shadow, and some glitter makeup.
I put most of the look together by using the Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art Eye-Shadow which comes with both a creme eye-shadow on one side and glitter on the other.

Time to show you my Golden Girl Manicure!
Ok, ok, not those Golden Girls, even though that would have been pretty freaken awesome! One of my go to beauty hacks when you want beautiful, unique flawless nails is applying press ons. It's the closet thing to a professional DIY manicure.
I often buy a bunch and of press on sets and stock up on them when I find a good deal. This week I applied a pair of gold Pretty Woman 3D Droplet Nails that I found at Lot-Less for $1.00. The reason that's such a sweet deal is because the nails have a 3D effect on them where it looks like they have water drops on the nails that pop out. The pack brings 24 nails and glue which is very helpful. I thought gold was a good color to apply this week because I've been in the holiday groove.
Even though the kit brings it's own glue, I am very faithful to the KISS Maximum Speed nail glue. It works extremely quick and last very long for me so I always keep one around.
After applying...
See the pretty drops. So cute!
These press ons fit nicely and feel sturdy. If you see them around, you should pick up a pair. Especially for .99 cents, they're such a steal.
Cheers!

Hey Nubians,
Kiss and Pout!
I absolutely Love lipstick. I can go on without barely any makeup on my face, but I must have some sort of tinted lips. Every season I try to rotate my lipsticks according to the seasons. Lately I've been all about matte lips too! For Fall/Winter I enjoy using darker, deeper shades. Below please enjoy my 4 favorite lipsticks so far this month for Fall/Winter.
The lipstick brands are Avon, L.A. Girl Cosmetics, Wet N' Wild Beauty and Covergirl.
**Tips**
-Always moisturize before wearing lip color to avoid chapped lips and peeling skin.
-For darker colors use a lip brush to stay in the lines better.
Watch the video below to see swatches of the colors and the exact names. Subscribe to my YouTube HERE.
Which of these lip colors is your favorite?

Sparkle and Shine Girl!
There has been a fun new hair trend floating around on the internet lately, glitter hair! More like glitter roots actually. I myself wouldn't rock it during the day, but I think it's super fun and flirty for night life and partying. A good trend to kick up your beauty & hairstyles up a notch. I also believes it plays off your natural hair color growing out against your hair dye.

Get The Look
Now if you ask me, there's a few interesting ways you might give this the DIY approach. You can buy glitter and put it on your hair with spray or gel, but if you're looking to buy a hair product I would suggest Scünci Hair Shimmer! With just the press of the poof, your hair and body can light up in either silver or gold. Easy peasy!
What do you think guys? Would you give this look a shot?
Cheers!

Hey Nubians,
Cool Cat Nails? Yes Please!
First off, I'd like to start this post by saying that I suffer from cat allergies... tragic right? I still enjoy watching their kawaii YouTube videos because they're very interesting creatures and well... some are quite adorable. I kind of always wanted a Sphinx myself.
Anyway, the other day I was roaming around a discount store (Lot-Less to be exact) and I saw these adorable press-on nails for .99 cents! I thought they were pretty hilarious and decided to give them a try. Kitty cats in outer space shooting rad glitter lazer beams out of their eyes...why not? Plus I try to have my nails nicely done as often as possible. I have to keep my beauty game on check and press-on nails are a quick solution for anyone with a busy schedule.
The brand is Chic + Pretty and it even comes with it's own nail glue in the box. I decided to use my own glue however, I'm a fan of the KISS products maximum speed glue.
The nails do not seem cheap at all, the quality seems just as good as something I could have purchased at Walgreens or Target. I love finding these weird little random things.
Have you ran into any cool nails lately? Done any cool designs? Do you use press-ons? It's my quick fix ;-)

Hello Nubians,
What Are You Going To Be For Halloween?
I know what I'm doing! But it's still a secret, SHHhhHHHhhHh. Spending anywhere from 60-200 dollars on a Halloween costume seems like something from the past and silly for something you wear once a year. I think most people are going way more for the Do It Yourself approach lately and honestly, it's much cooler and fun sometimes.
Beauty and fashion bloggers always give great tips, especially with makeup. YouTube is the place to go look! Some of these ladies are absolutely Ah-MAZ-ing. I've seen some insanely scary and gory looking stuff out there. Below please check out my top 5 favorite Halloween makeup looks I think are fabulous (In no particular order). It's hard to pick because there are so many to choose from!
1) Creepy Broken Doll Tutorial: Halloween 2015 | Dulce Candy.
OMGoshhh. Scary right from the intro. Something about old porcelain dolls is extremely creepy. Dulce did a great job.
2) Pop Art / Cartoon Zombie by Nicole Guerriero.
This pop art zombie is a little lighter than some of the looks I've featured here in terms of Gore, but the pop art makes it tons of fun and still pretty scary. It looks like something out of a colorful graphic novel. Nicole did a fantastic job. Make sure to check out her other Halloween videos too!
3) Zombie Princess Peach Halloween Makeup SFX Tutorial | Jordan Hanz / Alex Faction.
My never ending love for Nintendo's Super Mario Bros made me love this Zombie Princess Peach. A job very well done and extremely easy to follow.
4) Trippy Double Vision Makeup Look by dope2111.
This one gave me goosebumps and also made me a bit dizzy at first haha. Very original and cool. Another great job.
5) Harvey Dent // Two Face Special FX Makeup Tutorial ♡ Batman Series by Bonnie Corban SFX.
I LOVE DC comics and Batman. Seeing this Harvey Dent/Two Face tutorial made me sOoOoOo happy. I already have my costume for this year planned out but I might have to try this next year. So cool.
There you have it kiddies! My top five favorite Halloween makeup looks via YouTube. Give all of these talented ladies a follow and check out some of there other stuff. I hope if you don't have a costume planned out yet you give one of these a try. Let me know if you do.

Hello Nubians,
Did you know many great beauty secrets can be found right in your fridge?
With the seasons changing, dry skin but be a royal pain in the you know what. Dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe recommends an avocado face mask because avocados are full of antioxidants and fatty acids known to reduce wrinkles, while the oils help hydrate dry and flaky skin. Amazing right? I love eating avocado on the regular, pretty much with everything! Salads, rice and meat, bread with olive oil.. it's the best. It makes me even happier to know that I can use avocado beyond just eating it but also for amazing skin. If you want a more youthful glow you only need two ingredients - avocado and honey! With the seasons changing, our skin can get a little crazy. This is a great time to try out the recipe below.
Try Dr. Bowe’s DIY avocado face mask:
1. Combine ½ avocado and 2 tsp honey, and mash until the consistency is like a paste
2. Spread a light coat over your face and neck
3. Leave for 10 minutes and then wash off using warm water.
BOOM! After doing this a few times, hope you notice a nice and positive difference.

Hello Nubians!
It's time for Manicure Monday! You gals know I love my nails. I didn't have that much time to paint my nails this week or go to a salon, so I did the next best thing ... pulled out a pair of press-ons I had recently purchased. The nails are pink and yellow toned and feature a cheetah print. This totally reminded me of all my Lisa Frank gear from the 90s. I used to LOVE Lisa Frank!
On another note, how do you guys feel about press-on nails? I just started using them about 2 months ago and they've been total life savers! So quick and pretty. I also walk around with a band-aid just in case one were to ever fly off (my true fear) but thankfully that hasn't happened yet.
Cheers!
So Kawaii!

Hey Nubians,
Because Short Nails Are Cute Too...
A girl has to keep up with her beauty but as of late, I decided to give the long nails a break for a while. By "long" I mean not mine ha ha! More like acrylic or gel extensions. I used to think that I HAD to have long nails... I don't really know why, I guess it made me feel more lady like. Now-a-days I'm content trying to be a bit more creative with my short nails and trying to think of cute manicures that I can do myself.
Don't get my wrong, every-so-often I really miss long nails and I'm sure I'll go back to them eventually... but for now it's short manicures for me.
I gave myself a cute and simple mani this week. I didn't have much time to get too fancy. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 178 All Bright Pink as the base coat and then I used L.A. Colors Art Deco wands to do the little Zebra-ish lines in white and glitter to make it POP more.
I'm happy with the results. I figure as long as your hands are moisturized and your nails are painted nicely then you're good to go. I gave myself a pedicure with the same design too! I love the pink color from Sally Hansen. It's so bold without being neon.
Do you have any favorite nail polish colors for this summer?
