H & M Brand Polish

I like to try some of the cheaper brand polish.  Some times there over looked we wean them out  because their not Top shelf, but sometimes they surprise you with great coverage.  So I saw these duo Nail polishes in H & M and decided  to check out the quality.  This post is to be continued:

Sephora 18ct. GOLD Top Coat

I was doing my usual restock of my benefit Boi-ing concealer when I bumped into a polish that's is said to have this intense shine with real 18 ct. gold high light bits. There was only one left so I took that as faith that I was to have this 18 ct. luxury nail polish at $30.00 a pop! plus tax.  The sales girl told me they sold out immediately so I felt like I won the lottery.  I tried this polish with the Essie summer polish A CREWED INTEREST so if you google the color you know what I'm talking about, the 18ct. gave my nails a nice shine however the little gold specs where hardly noticeable for what I payed and the polish it self yellowed every polish I tried with it.  It gave this look of residue.  I was totally unsatisfied with this polish.  So not worth the price$.  I would buy it at $5.00 for the shine and only use it with dark colors so you cannot see the yellow effect.  I hope my experience saves someone 30 bucks!  CHEERS!!

Its real but so mot worth the money!

I have been going through a few things lately never really making the time to do any new post, However I'm here right now.  I like to live in the NOW!  So here is a pic of some little creation I made up just to have a manni look appealing.

some color blocking with polish with added sally hansen nail decals

People Please excuse my cuticle i have been pealing them,  These nails were done with my Conad disk

YOUTUBE inspired spiked heels

Now I love to improvise when it comes to some things fashion, then I believe some things can not be faked.  However, it is almost always about Presentation + Confidence.  I happen to be a Non- conformist so I do not allow Fashion as much as I love it or trends to Limit me Artistically expression of self.  So I love to create and trying new things and this project feel under both categories.  As you will see in the images bellow I have attempted to make a studded pair of wearable pumps. Once the shoes were done I did realize that they are now about one full size ti half a size big.  I bought the shoes in my right size 8.  So if your going to try this keep that in mind.  These shoe were comfy before i added the studs and are still quite wearable now that the screws are on the back.  One think I will be doing to make them more fitted will be to add an elastic strap right across the top to keep the shoe from flip flopping missing up my sexy.  We cant have that.  LOL

These are a basic pair of pumps purchased from Charolette Russe I love the Heel.  I thought these shoes would look hot with spikes along the back so I
 decided to add some of my own.

This is after applying a few spike the shoe, I used a regular drill for the wholes, then screwed the spikes in.

Coming along nicely

Now for the people wondering what it looks like on the inside!  Basically you wanna screw  the spikes as far as they will allow you to go.

These is the finish product.  As I thought the spiked heel went grate with the spikes.

E-Bay Shopping Designer for less

If you like Designer brands for less maybe you should consider buying from a celebrities closet!!  Celebrities go through spring cleaning of the wardrobe too.  Think of it as someone else old things can be your new things.  Remember these could have been gifts to the celebrity they didn't want, or had already, they could have worn it for a photo shoot.  Very lightly worn items.  Im only sad I do not wear a XS in clothing or a Euro 37 in shoes, But if I did these would be my choice.  Check it out!!!

KiKi's Candles

Have you ever had an experience buying candles that smelled amazing once you opened the lid or while you were in the store but once you burned the candle at home there was not a trace of the candles fragrance around?  Well I have enough for any of us.  And I must admit its very annoying.  I love candles especially good candle that makes a whole average size room light up with its aroma.  Its nothing like sitting in a clean house with some clean linen fragrance filling the room while sipping your MOSCATO!  Yumm!.  So I recently found an up and coming brand  I love!  I love to support quality of name brands or quantity any day.  So because I know sharing is caring below you will see the name of these candle I cannot get enough of unless its 90+ degrees out side.  LOL

KiKi's Candles Straight out of NYC, to be premiered at Fall fashion week 2012

Duo eye liner stick by NYC

My latest trip to the local Duane Reade was in search of my favorite eyebrow pencil made by Jordana.  I usually purchase it from Walgreens which I know for a fact sells this brand however I'm assuming that they share the same products.  So I walked straight to the make up aisle taking a glimpse of the O.P.I and ESSIE collection that happen to be so few it look like they were giving it away. I started checking brands that I could see carried Eyebrow pencils.  I Came across some that were way to expensive.  $12. 00 & up.  I am use to buying a color of which I love for .99 cents, so anything over that by $3.00  is too much for me.  I came across the brand NYC.  They had brow pencils some of which look similar to my Jordana pencil color.  So I picked up 2 of the possibles and A new Duo eyeliner that carried several variations.  I first wanted the white tip with black on the other end but was worried of the quality of the pencil being it was only 1.99 each.  How ever I purchased a black and copper duo. When I arrived home I immediately went to try this pencil on while my eye makeup was still intact.  I was very please of how easily the pencil glided onto my lower eyelid.  It gave my eyes this subtle pop of amazement.  I give this product 4 STARS.  I will be going back for the white, blue, turquoise, and the pink.


Below you can see what the stick looks like. MUST TRY!!
