My Nail Polish and Make-up Collection

Today I am sharing my nail polish and make-up collection.  I am not trying to show off in any way or claiming I have the “best” or “biggest” collection of cosmetics or lacquer.  This is merely for fun and I am proud of what I own.  Honestly, I don't think I own that much.  Plus, this is my 100^th blog post so why not post something fun and worth looking at? ;)

So lets start with my makeup.  I went to Big Lots and purchased a plastic seven drawer unit to organize everything efficiently.

Lipsticks

Lip glosses, lip stains and lip liners

 Mascaras, gel and liquid liner, lashes, primers and go to items

Foundation, powder, highlights and blushes

Nail wheels, nail book and Color Club Foiled 

Cream shadows and pencils

(colored shadow bases)

Eye shadow singles, duos, trios, quads, ect.

In a separate plastic three drawer unit in my closet I keep my palettes.

UD Naked, Sephora Blockbuster 2010 and 2012 versions, Inglot and Ed Hardy

For my eyeliners, I keep them in a metal magnetic pencil holder.  The shelf in my closet in made out of metal so its hung up there.  I have a lot of eyeliner pencils ranging in all colors of the rainbow.  

My brushes to the left are my eye brushes and are stored in an Estee Lauder make-up brush travel container.  The brushes on the right are my face brushes and those are stored in an Ed Hardy pop can holder.

OK, now for my nail polish.  Nothing brings me more joy than nail polish.  I am always up for a conversation about nail polish; Everyday I search the net for latest updates and releases, so I am aware of who is releasing what collection.  I also like going out to multiple stores to find certain colors and deals.  My collection is some what organized by brand.  As long as every bottle is accounted for, and I know where the bottle is, finding a certain one isn't extremely hard.  Since I buy polish often, I out grew the organization, which resulted, having me mixing brands.

I store everything in perfume boxes, white plastic baskets and shoe boxes in my closet.

Look What I Be Doin' | Fresh Til Death Nails

I love this nail design.  Fresh til death is what I always say.  I mean come on people, lets get real now.  I have so much swag(Something We Arabs Got).  Hehe yea I am thinking high of myself, but that is OK.  Sometimes...then it gets to the point where everyone thinks you're a bitch.   I don't get to that point, but trust me there are people who do.  People get on my nerves sometimes, especially the girl at work who didn't know what "fresh" meant.  Let me just remember everyone what it means while I'm at it.   To me it means to have good style, money, and just being myself.  And of course being clean.  LOL.  This design was simple to do.   I only had trouble with my doing my right hand because I'm right handed, but the design came out the same.   It took me two hours to do too!  Totally worth it.  

What I used to achieve this fresh design:
OPI Fly
OPI Need Sunglasses?
OPI Did it on 'em
OPI If you Moust you Moust
Layla CE 27
Wet N Wild Clear Nail Protector
Poshe Top Coat
Americana Lamp Black
Assorted rhinestones

Neon Yellow Splatter Nails

The yellow was insanely bright!  I couldn't take a picture of the true color.  Neons are difficult to capture on camera, but I managed to take some good pictures.  Splatter nail polish is very in this season, and for those who don't know what splatter nail polish is; it is typically black and white glitter of all sizes that look like polka dots when applied to the nail.  Of course when a trend comes out, all brands must have it in their line, and guess who's the girl that buys them all! ;) 



Polishes used:
Wet n Wild Pin' Em Slater
Icing Milky Way

Icing Milky Way:  black and white hexagonal glitter, small round glitter and black bar glitter.  (I believe I used two coats)?

 With Flash

 

No Flash

Blue and Pink Cheetah Nail Art

This is by far the cutest nail design I've ever done!!!  The glitter I used is called Super Freak.  The song Super Freak by Young Jeezy always plays in my head when I look or think of this polish.  Haha. 


Polishes used:
Icing  I like the Nightlife(shimmery blue)
Icing Super Freak(glitter) 
China Glaze Rich & Famous(pink)
Wet n Wild Black Cream

Yellow and blue cheetah print nail art

This is a super cute easy manicure that anyone can do!

 
Polish used:
Nail Life Gripper Basecoat
Ruby Kisses Yellowed Out
OPI Ogre-The-Top Blue
Wet N Wild Black Creme
Poshe Topcoat
 
How to create:
1.  Paint all your with Yellowed Out.  Let dry.
2.  Take Ogre-The-Top Blue and make random spot on your nails.
3.  Take a piece of paper or a note card and blot it with Black Creme.  With a toothpick dip it in the black, and outline the blue spots, and make random spots.  Let dry.
4.  Apply a topcoat.


Yes, my design smudged a big because I didn't wait long enough for the design to dry.
