Day 13: Cheer Yourself Up Mani

Tweet
I'm not going to even begin to talk about my absence lol. So let's just get into it. I saw the mani challenge for today and thought AWESOME!! ...Now what am I going to do? LOL A lot of things cheer me up and and I'm like all over the place... So wait, what's the problem? Why shouldn't my nails be?! That is the challenge after all right? SO my mani is bright, bold colors, sparkles, glitter, and rainbows!! YAY me! LOL

Starting and ending foundation =)

Rainbow Nail

Other 9 funky fun nails lol

Then this. I'm just lost.

First off my nails were in horrid shape before hand... My pinky nail just broke off while I was removing the polish... My thumb has been like this for weeks. I think it happened when I was making a bow... Glue gun on the nail might do that to you lol

IDK what happened!! =(

Since I had been neglecting my poor nails and I previously used Plum Luck, I decided to give them a good cleaning, ie a brightening and strengthening bath with Peroxide and Baking Soda. It works girls!! It takes no time in comparison to the time we actually take on our manis.

1 tbsp of peroxide, 2.5 tbsp of baking soda, mix and let it set for a min, put the paste on each nail and let sit for 5mins

 After I rinsed, I added in a cup of hot water, stirred and let my nails soak for about a minute to soften my cuticles and give them a little extra oomph!! =) Definitely recommend giving it a try!

No rainbow nail (which I kinda like) no top coat

Rainbow nail. Decided to wing it. Eff the tape!! LOL

 I hope you like it! I'll be doing an Avon First Impression and look soon! MUAH!!

Don't forget your Karma Kiss for the day!!

YAY!! I'm so excited y'all! I finally unlocked the power of water marbling! LOL I've seen so many other people do it but not explain HOW they did said water marble. Frustrating, right? Well, yesterday I was tweeting away and I saw my blogger go-to person, Kelly, post about her Step by Step Water Marbling Tutorial & Video. I was like SCORE!! Okay, okay, on to the finished product.

Nicki Kisses!!!

My MAC VIVA Glam Nicki Minaj arrived yesterday!! I was so surprised since I had just ordered it on Tuesday. 2 days!! Awesome. Okay so as I posted in How HOT is this?! this is Nick's 2nd collab with MAC. You can check out my previous post about her Pink Friday lipstick to see her 1st satiny hit.

Now! On to the next!

Shout out to Mean Girls! LOL Okay, today was my son's turn to pick a lacquer from the Nicki Collection & he surprised me by picking Pink Friday instead of Did It On 'Em [because green is his favorite color] but he so sweetly said, "Because you like pink, Moma." =) SOooooo without further ado, here we go!!

How HOT is this?!

OPI Metallic 4 Life *Updated*

Happy Tuesday! It's a bit better than Monday right? Plus there's ...ME!! Here to brighten your day! LOL

ANYHOO! As I promised on yesterday's post [OPI Nicki Minaj Swatches], I would do hand swatches based on which lacquer my husband like best out of the collection. He chose Metallic 4 Life because he says it looks grey... Gray is favorite color. I GUESS it could look grey to a man's uncaring/weird eye(s). LOL

Metallic 4 Life is a gorgeous, look at me black jelly based lacquer dosed with small & medium round & hexagon silver glitters. Very pretty. I typically don't like black & glitter, not really sure why but I just don't but this I love. The application went on smoothly for me. I've read some complaints about the application, the glitter itself, and/or the roughness of the finish. I haven't had any of those problems. No clumps, no glitter hangovers, and after a topcoat, a nice sheen.

OPI Nicki Minaj Swatches

Anyone that knows me knows that I love Nicki & that I was one of the crazies online crashing MAC's website trying to get the Limited Edition Pink Friday lipstick [Which I DID! LOL] So you know when I heard about OPI & the head HB collab, I freaked! LOL I did not get them when they first came out because I could not find them in the stores so eventually I gave into eBay & they arrived today!!! EEEEEEEEKKK!!! *Breathes*

Mini Set Giveaway! *closed*

                                 

What's mini, pretty, fetch, & an accessory that EVERY Harajuku Barbie in training MUST HAVE? Yes, yes, I am talking about the Nicki Minaj OPI mini set, which includes 4 bad ass barbie lacquers!!!

It's BARBIE! Biiitttcccccchhhhh!!!!!

LOL!! Do I have your attention?! GOOD! 

Miss Nicki Minaj is teaming up with OPI Nail Lacquer [[OMG!!]] to produce her own line of polish based of her Pink Friday album!! I'm SOOOOOO excited! They even come in MINIS!!! AHHHHHH!!! LOL Okay, breathe, breathe.... calms. Now the bum thing is that they don't come out until 2012 ='(

For my fellow Barbz!

This is only my second post so you don't know that I LOVE Nicki Minaj but I do. When her album came out, I went out and bought it straightaway no questions asked lol. 

See the pure happiness?! LOL

So you know when I heard about her LIMITED EDITION  MAC  Pink Friday lipstick, I had to get it! I love it, it's really smooth and creamy. Perfect Nicki colour, but who would expect less of her, right? LOL

Tip: Because it's so smooth & creamy, use a lip buffer to clear away any dead cells

Here it is on me, and I do look fetch if I must say so myself !

Leave your comments, thoughts, and show any posts that you may have of your HB look. =)

Don't forget your Karma Kiss for the day!!
