Pink Bows & Sparkles!

Painting my nails and doing nail art is one of my favorite things to do when I just need to relieve some stress and spend time alone. "Keep calm and paint your nails" is basically my motto, haha. I literally can't go a day without not having my nails painted!

Today, I didn't have my nails painted and it was killing me so I went on Pinterest for a little inspiration and I came up with this cute design:

 

I've always wanted to make a design with bows on my nails but I never thought I would actually be able to pull it off... until now! So I would like to share how I did this for anyone else who thinks they can't do nail art also!

First, you need to get a black polish (I use Layla Cosmetics SoftTouch Effect nail polish in Nior Touch), pink and silver glitter nail art polish (I use LA Colors Art Deco Nail Art polish in Silver Glitter and Poppin Pink) and a clear topcoat (I use Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Flawless).

Step 1:
Paint tips of nails with black polish like french tips.

Step 2:
Paint 1 side triangle on the inside of the nails in pink.

 



Step 3:
Paint an inverse triangle overlapping with the first triangle in pink also.

Step 4:
Paint silver sparkle nail polish under the black tips that is not covered with pink.

Step 5:
Paint a dot where the two triangles overlap in silver sparkles.

 Step 6:
Let all nail polish completely dry and then put top coat over it.

 

 

Then voilà! The whole nail look is complete and you now how fun, girly, sparkly, and pink nails!

Review | Avon Glimmerstick Chrome

Eyeliner is always a staple for me - I refuse to go anywhere without at least a little bit of eyeliner on, so I figured having an eyeliner as my first review would be perfect... Not exactly.

I have always been a part of the liquid eyeliner "crew" but I have just recently been trying to branch out and try gel liners and eyeliner sticks like this one so when one of my family members, who sells Avon, gave me two Avon Glimmerstick Chrome liners, I was SO excited to try them out, especially because I have never really experienced Avon products before!



The color of the Glimmerstick I recieved was Midnight Flash (G12). Just from looking at the packaging, it looked like it was going to be a so-so product, nothing too impressive about it.

My expectations were that the product was probably going to be a matte dark blue but this was obviously not the case at all:

As the swatch shows, the liner was actually really shimmery and glittery, which was a turn-off for me because my everyday makeup is pretty much shimmery eyeshadow with a really dark, really matte eyeliner. This liner seemed to be dark enough for my preference until I applied it on top of my eyeshadow... As soon as I applied it, it appeared way more blue-toned than the swatch had shown. This was more of a hassle than a dissapointment because it was easily buildable to look more black.

As the day went on, the eyeliner slowly became less dark and mostly wore off by the end of the day (Avon says these products only last nine hours).

Overall, I probably would not purchase this product myself after I finish this. I feel like there are so many other products that are less expensive (Avon Glimmerstick Chrome eyeliners are regularly $7.00) to try out that will give me better results.

Comment below on what you guys think about this product and if you were more pleased with it!
