Nails: Pink & Gold Hearts for Valentine's Day!

It's Valentine's Day this week so start spreading the love to make the world a better place. Here are some tips to follow every day:

♥ Hug someone

♥ Make a phone call

♥ Say I love you

♥ Say it in spanish TE QUIERO, or TE AMO

♥ Smile for no reason

♥ Think about the good things in life

♥ Be thankful

♥ Be kind

♥ Enjoy nature

♥ Take time for yourself

♥ Draw hearts 

♥ Do things that make you happy, like paint your nails ;)  

Use your favorite color as a base. I am using Essie's Lady Like. Pick a different nail color like Good As Gold and draw hearts. I start drawing a letter V and then fill in the heart shape. Remember, they don't have to be perfect, in fact, my favorites are the more oganically shaped hearts. 

V Hearts!

Blue Nails: Spark-tacular & Rock the boat!

July's color on the month is blue and it made me realize that I didn't own a blue nail polish so, I had to go shopping for one. The lucky color is Essie's "Rock the Boat" polish. I usually try to add some glam to my nails by using a metal tone polish or glitter and in this case I picked Sephora by Opi in "Spark-tacular!" I've had this one for a few years and love it because it complements any color.

The trick for getting the glitter line straight is to make sure there is enough glitter on the brush and then placing it on top of your nail slowly without brushing it so that it wont become thick.

Lavender beauty: Perfect for Spring!

Happy Monday! If you look at my everyday makeup bag you'll only find a foundation, blush, mascara, brow pencil, and a three color eyeshadow palette with black, brown and cream. I generally keep it basic but when trying to add some color to my beauty routine I love going for the purple palette for the eyes. Purple tones highlight my light brown eyes specially when they're in the darker color range. It's nice to now and then get out of the routine and add something different. 

For today's post I picked three lavender beauty items that are perfect for the Spring. These add a sweet touch of color without being too much. I've seen this Essie nail polish at the drugstore but I'm never brave enough to try it so, I noticed it on my sister a few days ago and loved it - see image below.
