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

Wearing Report booties, Forever 21 overalls, Sweater from ROSS, Tank top from H&M

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.

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

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

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?

Cheers!

Hello Nubians,

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.

Watch the video below to get the look in a quick and easy manner. Subscribe to my channel too for tons of new content coming soon. Make sure to visit my NubTube.

Cheers!

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.
