Bazooka by Essie


Favorite mani. Bazooka by Essie. It's a gorgeous bright red orange. I can usually get a good week without chips out of my Essies but not Bazooka because it's a neon :(

I bought the pyramid studs from Ebay for around $3 for a pack of 500 in silver and gold. If you add a top coat over the studs they'll last you the entire length of your mani :)

OPI - Bubble Bath - As seen on Giada De Laurentiis


Here is my manicure with three coats of OPI Bubble Bath no top coat.

I'd say it could still use ONE MORE coat over it just because the nail polish is a little sheer and as opposed to other reviews I found it slightly streaky but regardless, I'm in love. I did my pedicure this color as well and it's just perfect!



Giada De Laurentiis from Food Network. I'm definitely a fan of her show :) she cooks some pretty nice Italian food!

Cutting away split ends!

I hate getting haircuts! I love my hair long and I just hate going into a hair salon and saying "I just need a trim" and you end up with a whole different hair cut! I try to cut my own split ends every month. (I was constantly cutting my own hair in high school so I'm not afraid of chopping away at my own hair, however, if you are, you should probably just go get it done!)



First take a strand of hair and twist it all the way down. You may notice a ton of hairs sticking out on the sides if you have layered hair. You're going to want to cut the down the twisted strand to get the ends of those layered hairs as shown by the black dotted line (I don't always bother with those hairs.) Next you can just cut straight across on the bottom.



Next, take that same strand of hair and loop it. This will expose all of the other little hairs that might have been caught in the twisting. Cut the ends of those hairs. Finally, loop to the other side so that the rest of the hidden hairs are also cut down.

Repeat on the rest of your hair. Although it seems like it might be very time consuming, it's not! I did this today and took about five minutes :)




Also painted my nails today! I LOVE these nail polishes because they last me about a week without chipping when I top it with a Sally Hansen anti-chip top coat! For some reason this color has been a hit! I've gotten tons of compliments on it O_O it's nuts!
