project zebra piggies

hiya dollfaces! so when i went to vegas a couple of weeks ago i wanted to do something a little different on my toes so i did an experiment... zebra toes! i've always loved zebra print and figured it would be easiest to attempt on my toenails as i could use my right hand the entire time.

here's what i used (both from icing). the black is just one of their nail art paints and the green is called daddy's trust fund baby and is a dupe for sephora by opi's leaf him at the alter.

i put two coats of green down and then alternated stripes starting heavy on the edges and then lighter toward the center. i loved the effect.

a closer look...

the best part is they don't have to be perfect! p.s. this look has lasted me 3 weeks without chipping! still looks awesome. yay!

found: perfect summer polish - NOTD

this is weekend rendezvous from Icing and it is the perfect summertime polish shade. a wonderful coral pink made to compliment a summer glow (err... which i have yet to obtain).. but even now in my paleness it still looks lovely! if you haven't tried the Icing polishes i suggest you get thee to a mall a.s.a.p. sooooooo worth it!!

dollnamic duo: pink state of mind

hi dolls! it's time for another dollnamic duo. and this time it's all about PINK. if you read about my MAC haul you may remember that i purchsed the lip glass true babe (an in your face darkish pink) from the riveting collection... this photographs a bit light compared to in person. it is actually a very wearable color.

well i must have been in a pink state of mind because i immediately went over to icing and purchased a bright pink nail polish in fifi, came right home, and gave myself a mani. now, i'm not gonna lie, this is a crazy color (read day-glow). it photographs rather lackluster here, but everytime i looked down at my nails i thought "i wonder if these glow in the dark?" haha. i think when summertime rolls around and the inevitable tanning ensues this will be a perfect hot pink. it is definitely not a wallflower color, but if you don't mind attention... have at it!

so i put the two side by side and thought they would make a great dollnamic duo. as you can see they aren't matchy matchy, but if i wore that same color on my lips as my nails i would look hideous! the deeper true babe gloss ties in the fifi nail color and give lips a fresh look. i can tell i already have summer on the brain! bring on the pinks!

hey dollface!! do you have any special lip/nail dollnamic duos?? let me know... i love to see what others come up with to suit them.

hope your having a great weekend! i'm working on lots of posts... i've missed my blog and my dollfaces!! xoxo

inssssssspiration...

hi dolls!! so i went to the icing yesterday and found the most unbelievable earrings!! i mean, seriously, i'm in LOVE...

here they are!!

fantastic snakes!

on thursday i have an interview and i am wearing these to show an "edge"... it is with MAC and while i want to dress profressionally... i knew that i needed a little kick with a side of mystery. i love how these cover the entire earlobe. original and a bit daring...

just the way i like it!

as soon as i saw these i knew they were perfect. my whole look is being built around these earrings...

don't you love sweet inspiration?

(sorry for the blurry pic! better ones to follow.. but you get the jist about covering the earlobe)

where do you find your inspiration?

i've got polish on the brain

hi dolls! today is february 18th and you know what that means? another line is being released by mac today... it's called riveting. if you remember an earlier post i am looking forward to one product in particular... a matte black nail polish called black enough?... until i can get myself to a mac counter this little post dedicated to an affordable and fantabulous line of polish will have to pass the time.

i love polishing my nails. it's a quick and easy way to look put together, fab or funky. i'm always on the lookout for good polishes that cover well and dry fast...

so a couple of months back i bought a sephora by o.p.i. nail polish in metro chic. i was so looking forward to it! i had read many blogs and saw many youtube videos touting the color and its overall awesomeness, so i just had to have it.... as soon as i got it home i tried it out. to be frank it was not cute. it was thin and looked horrible with my skintone. i hated it and thought "there's another $10 wasted!"

not one to be defeated... i got to perusing my other polishes. i thought i might be able to find one that could act as an undercoat and deepen the color a bit. i came across a shade i have been loving for awhile... it's called ice queen and it's by icing. yes, icing as in the accessory store at the mall. turns out their polishes rock my world. the formulation is smooth, they cover evenly and they dry super fast. and they last forever! love them!

now back to the subject at hand. metro chic was dull and lame. ice queen was cool and deep. together they made a perfect and wearable dollnamic duo of the nail polish variety. look...

just for posterity here are two other shades from icing... i highly recommend their polishes... i guess if we're splitting hairs then this is another rave! next time you're at the mall pick up a couple (at $4.50 a pop -bogo 1/2 off- they won't break the bank)... let me know how it goes.

lilly... the most gorgeous lilac! p.s. this two coats lasted for 8 days without chipping!

purple pj's... a dark navy with multi-colored sparkles... a lovely alternative to black

remember: enjoy beautiful nails and...
