Frugal Chicas Medicine Chest

So last week we talked about overpriced medicine cabinet staples. Well today I went perusing my neighborhood Dollar Tree and low and behold looky looky what I found at the register dressed up tweezers. I remember seeing in the blog-sphere the lady shaped tweezers. Well hit up your local dollar store to see if they have hit your area yet. I got 2 pairs but I plan on going back to snatch up the rest that caught my eye.

New to me polish brand: Cosmetic Arts

I found this pretty on a more than half empty display at ROSS today for $1.99. I really am loving this color.i plan on wearing this as a full mani this weekend with my black crack polish and also as a well deserved pedicure.

Valentines Disturbing Violets

Sorry its been awhile since my last violet mani. So I'm back from my trip relaxed and refreshed and ready to get down to business. The month is almost over and I still have several more polishes to swatch got you, so I need to get busy asap.

Base: Nail Tek Foundation II
Polish:  WnW Megalast 217 Disturbia
Topcoat: None

Coincidently this polish number just so happens to be my birthdate which is ...Tomorrow. Yay me!!! Ill be the big 2-5!!!!

Holy Grail Product : J R Watkins Lemon Creme Shea Butter, maybe?

I know this is not a expected post for this month but I love this stuff or rather my hands do. I picked this up at Ross about a week ago not really expecting anything except for my hands to smell really edible. I'm not sure where this is regularly sold but I need every jar in creation its just that good. I purchased it on smell alone because it smells like someone took the lemon icing my mom used to use when she baked and mixed it with shea butter and decided to sell it. Upon opening this I immediately died and went to heaven.i just want to lick my hands because they smell so darn good. Oh and did I mention the price $2.49 for such a yummy smelling non greasy highly moisturizing hand cream like really what more could you ask for besides world peace and a million dollars. If anyone knows where I can find acquire infinite amounts of this please please comment below.

Designer medicine cabinet

Would you be game to spending $10 for 20 band-aids just because they were designed by Cynthia Rowley? Well how about $25 for tweezers designed by Betsey Johnson? These are nice but I personally think that they are over priced and useless because if I pay that much for bandages no one better use them but thats just me. So I want to know what you think?

Valentine's Violets #2

So today's violet exactly isn't something I'm wearing buy rather a swatch I never got around you showing you guys. This no-name purple duochrome is from the Hard Candy X-mas 2010 gift sets. Its a really pretty polish. I'm not sure about anyone else but it really irks the hell out of me when a company that usually has great product names purposely doesn't name something just because its limited edition or seasonal. So on that note I hereby proclaim this polish to hence forth be called "Grapely Appreciated ".

Valentine's Violets #1

So I figured since February is my birth month, amethyst is my birthstone and coincidentally purple is also my fave color. I thought I would feature only violet manis all month long. I had planned to have a birthday giveaway but I'm broker than broke right now. So God willin I will have some goodies to giveaway next month.

Now on to the good stuff. Today's base mani is Violetta from the Avon mattes collection.
By itself its a really pretty purple pleather quality about it. Once again I decided I wanted to do some nail art only free-hand this time. Don't fret today's nail art totally makes up for last night's nail art disaster.
So the polishes used for the designs are CC Resort to Red, CC Covered in Diamonds, Orly Glitz & Glamour, Finger Paints Mulberry Madness, white pumpkin polish, and a black nail art pen. So I hope you guys enjoyed the first edition of Valentine's Violets. I plan to have another one up by Sunday or Monday. Now I'm off to paint my other hand violet as well though it wont have any nail art. 
Until next time Stay Polished

when nail art goes rogue!!!!

?This is the story of how a totally awesome manicure took a turn for the worse.

So this is the rad sponge mani I did yesterday before I went to bed. Cute rite?

Well for whatever reason after one day of looking at this this blinged our masterpiece I decided that it wasn't eyecatching enough. I think it was just me itching to try something new. Though this is definitely not what I had in mind.....#wtf was u thinking?

This is just sad it started off well and quickly took a serious nosedive.
So now it's definitely time for a new mani.
