Nail of the Week: Seduction

When I recently came home to a box from Ricky's NYC, I immediately jumped for joy.  Seriously school has been kicking my behind this semester, and my beauty life has been basic.  These nail polishes tho are EVERYTHING & more.  First of all, anyone who knows me, knows I am a sucker for glitter. I love glitter (minus those pretend Dorthoy wannabe glitter shoes every brand is making but thats beside the point.) and am not afraid to use it.  I know that every nail polish brand is making glitter polishes this season, but if you've been a long time reader of this blog you know I love love LOVE (and I make sure to let you know when I LOVE something and its not often.) the formula of Mattese Elite nail polishes. 

Anywho, I received 2 nailpolishes from their recent winter collections.  Mattese Elite released 4 new colors of their AMAZING crackalaquer polish in Dark Burgundy, Blue Star, Deep Purple & Metallic Orange.  When the crackle polish fad first hit, I know myself and many others were disappointed by some of the formulas of the bigger brands & how finicky they were to get a decent crackle effect. Well not with Mattese Elite. No matter how thick or thin of a coat is applied, the polish crackles instantly & you can even layer it.  

The other winter launch was Seductive Winter Wonderland, which consisted of 6 polishes, 3 of them being glitter.  Seriously tho, the glitter polishes aren't any ole glitter polishes. The formula covers almost completely with one coat, which is rare for glitter polishes. & the glitter its self is almost Halo, which I know a lot of people love.  
Love the AD!
 

OKAY. Rather then me keep going on about the polishes I'm going to show you a series of pictures in different settings so you can just see for yourself how my finger tips looked like little disco balls.

You can browse and buy Mattese Elite polishes on the Ricky's NYC website HERE! These polishes start at $5.99 but I know they have other colors in a mini size for cheaper.

It's Barbie Bish!

Nicki Minaj is all over!  I admit I wasn't into her at first BUT I had always admired her make-up.  I like that she does bold looks, they're so up my alley.  Lately she's strayed away from a completely bold eye opting for a neutral lid and glitter on her lower lashline.  I was all over it!  I filmed a tutorial for this look it should be up soon!  
I think people will like this look especially since I used a mix of MAC & Wet & WILD products that are easily assessable to everyone!
