Where Have I Been? New Company, Weight loss, and relationship news

Hello Everybody,

It has been a while since I was last on here. Where have I been? I have had many different things going on in my life.
1.) Starting my company:
 I have been busy working on my soap company Bebba's Barn on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BebbasBarnShop I absolutely love this making soap and body care products just make me absolutely happy. Each soap that I make is meant to help the skin in one way or another.

2.) Weight Loss:

Weight loss has been a struggle with me since my back injury happened 10 years ago.  It got to a point where it was hard to turn around. I found out that with a little bit of happiness in my life, I could do what I needed to do. I have been doing a strict diet, and work out plan. Remember when I say that I am fighting being overweight, at my worst I was 465 pounds. I am not there anymore. Just remember that you can do anything you want. It's all about finding that motivation, wherever it may come from. In 2013 I got the Lap-Band which I do not recommend at all. I didn't have the best experience with the lap-band from the program being discontinued 2 months after I got the procedure. To not being able to eat anything. The best thing I have done is watch my portions and exercise more, I know that is said all the time but it is actually true.  I am now done a total of 78 pounds in almost 5 months. I attribute a lot of that to giving up soda. Water really is your best friend.

3.) New Relationship:
I talked about a lot of my weight loss success came from being happy and that is all thanks to a man who came in my life and became a best friend, a person who holds me accountable, and a confidant. I trust him with all my success and he is the one who came up with my boot camp diet. Finding someone anyone who you trust and can help you with any life-changing, or any goals in your life is key. I am so lucky that we found each other. But don't place all your success on that one person you have to hold yourself accountable. Also be able to praise yourself for your accomplishments. After all the changes you are making are for you and no one else. It just helps to have a best friend along the way. Make sure that you are there for them too.

12 Days of Nail Art---- Day 1- Tis the Season to be Jolly

Hello again everybody,

It is my favorite time of year Christmas and the whole winter season. I am going to be doing the 12 days of nail art. I will be posting either a design, or something to do with nail art. You can see everything I am posting by going to Instagram and following me @opalessencebeauty83


Day 1- Tis the Season to be Jolly

For this design I used only a few things. I used Orly's Bonder base coat. This is one of my favorite base coats. I get longer wear out of my polishes when I use this base coat. 

You can buy this base coat by following this link- Orly Bonder

For my polish I decided that I wanted to use a fun whimsical polish. A polish that says this is the season to be jolly. I used KB Shimmers Vicious Circles. I love this jelly red polish with lots of different size holographic glitters and then large holographic circle glitters.  I used this one because I wanted all that shimmer to stand out, from under the stamping. KB Shimmer describes this polish as

Follow this link to learn more about  KB Shimmer- Vicious Circles 

  "A blood red jelly loaded with silver holographic circles in two sizes, sliver holographic hex glitters and holographic sliver micro slices.  This jelly polish works best in three thin coats, but those with shorter nails might get away with two."  KB Shimmer also recommends 2 to 3 coats for full opacity, however being a jelly polish you will still be able to see some nail line, but it will be faint. I looked on KB Shimmers website and it does say that this polish is out of stock, however I would keep checking back with them and I would look at eBay, and other such websites. Just be sure you research who you are buying from before making the purchase. 


Then I used two of my favorite stamping plates that are from Uber Chic Beauty. I cannot say enough good things about this company. Their stamping plates are amazing. I used the Holiday Spirit (formerly Christmas 01) and the Holly Jolly (formerly Christmas 02) plates. They do have a 3rd Holiday plate and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. They have so many cool plates and they are reasonably priced.  

Picture is from the Uber Chic website. If you are interested in this plate you can find it at this link- Holiday Spirit

Picture is from the Uber Chic website. If you are interested in this plate you can find it at this link- Holly Jolly

The stamping polish I used was Mundo De Unas White 01. However, you can use any white stamping polish that you want to. I used the MDU white because it is highly opaque and easy to work with. Now I ordered my polishes and it did take  them a while to get here because they had to go through customs. They are coming from Mexico, and they are animal cruelty free. The 14ml polish costs $3.50, great price for the amount of polish you are getting. Due to customs they can only send 36 full size polishes or 100 mini polishes. I highly recommend giving them a try, the shipping on one polish was $5.00 and shipping for 2 polishes was $6.00. My polishes arrived fine, I don't know that you would need to get insurance. Another thing to note is that their website is super slow.

Mundo De Unas

Well now you know how I got my Tis the Season to be Jolly nails. I hope you liked this. Please don't forget to follow me on Google+Opal Essence Beauty  and remember to see all  of my updates follow me at opalessencebeauty83 on Instagram. Let me know what you think of this nail art. Also leave me pictures in the comments of your favorite Holiday nails, I would love to see them!

Christmas Eve Traditions- Fondue Dinner

I won't have a lot of pictures in this blog, but I wanted to share with you my families Christmas Eve  tradition. This will be my 34th Christmas and I can't wait. My parents made sure that it was so special and memorable. Now I get to celebrate Christmas with my with my nieces and nephews and see the Christmas magic in their eyes!!

  On Christmas Eve night we get together at my mom and dad's house.  At about 7 o'clock we have dinner which is comprised of fondue.  Then immediately after that I usually take my nieces and nephews to look at lights to help pass the time before Santa Claus comes.

Fondue Recipe:

Things you will need....

Fondue Pot
Fondue Sticks
Oil

Cuisinart Fondue Pot

This is the fondue pot we use. It comes with 8 Fondue sticks and it is electric. You can get it on Amazon.com for $44.00 so it is seemingly inexpensive. Fondue pots if you purchase a good one and it is taken care of can last you a long time!!!

For the oil I just use vegetable oil but you can use whatever you normally use. Try to stick with a peanut or conola oil as others have a lower smoke point! Please remember: NEVER LEAVE YOUR FONDUE POT UNATTENDED OR LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED. 

Now for the fun part......the food!

This is what we have:

-Precooked Chicken Cubes

-French Fries

-Precooked Shrimp

-Bell Peppers

-Mushrooms

-use you imagination 

Then we make a Garlic Butter which consists of 1 stick of butter and then Garlic Salt to taste!! 

This is a quick and easy meal that is great for the night before Christmas! You can also ask people to bring something to contribute to the meal!! 

Quick clean up and then you can do all the prep work for the big day!! 

Zoya Enchanted Holiday 2016---- with video

Hey guys!!! Today I have a beautiful collection to share with you called Enchanted. This is the holiday 2016 collection by Zoya. I am going to go over each polish quickly and then I have a video of the polishes on swatch sticks, so you can see the transforming effect that Zoya says makes the Pixie Dust polishes, so special. In this collection you get four Pixie Dust polishes and two duo-chromes! They are absolutely gorgeous!!! 

Let's start with the first duo-chrome and that is Olivera:

Zoya Enchanted Collection- Olivera

Olivera is a unique name which is quite fitting for this unique polish. Zoya describes this polish as a "spellbinding, color flipping metallic with an indigo base with a green and purple shift." I would have to say that description is pretty darn accurate. What Zoya doesn't tell you is how wonderful this polish is to apply. This could be a one coater but I always do two coats just to ensure a longer wear time!  This is one of my favorites of the collection!

Next up we will look at Saint:

Zoya Enchanted Collection Saint

Saint is a magically beautiful polish. If you are someone who likes purple-blue polishes then you are going to love Saint. Zoya describes Saint as a "whimsical color flip metallic with a periwinkle base and magenta shift!"  This polish is such an amazing color, the pictures don't do it justice!! This polish is good in 2 to 3 coats depending if you used thinner coats or thicker coats. It  is definitley darker on the nail than it appears in the bottle. The magenta shift was also hard to catch in the photo unlike Olivera.

Next up we will look at Elphie:

Zoya Enchanted Collection- Elphie

When you think of a proper Christmas green what color do you think of? To me Zoya was spot on with Elphie. Zoya describes Elphie as "bewitching emerald green with a sugary green sparkle" I really am enjoying how the Pixie Dust polishes go matte but the glitter sparkles from underneath. It kind of does look magical. This is one out of the four, to me, is the one that looks the best in the matte form. Actually to me 3 of the four look good matte. I am going to put a video later on in this blog where I show you each polish, and all the Pixie Dust in the matte form and with top coat. This one needs two coats to be opaque. Love the formula, it is the standard Pixie Dust formula which to me is perfection.

Next up we will look at Waverly:

Zoya Enchanted Collection- Waverly

Waverly is in my top 5 blue polishes for Christmas. I love how this is a brighter royal blue. Zoya describes this polish as "a brilliantly deep sapphire blue with blue sparkles." Now this is stunning with top coat but I think with top coat you lose the effect of the matte with sparkly glitter that shines through. The formula on this one is good, however I did have to use 3 coats for it to be opaque. This one is just gorgeous!! 

Next up is Lorna:

Zoya Enchanted Collection- Lorna

This one is my favorite of the collection and my favorite way to wear this one is matte!! There is just something special about this polish. It looks great on any length of nail and it looks great on any skin tone. By the way if you are ever not sure if a Zoya polish will look good on your skin tone go to Zoya.com and go to the polish and it shows you that polish on different skin tones. Zoya describes Lorna as "a luscious berry with a sugary sparkle. Now this one is stunning either way, but I have to go with the matte finish just because the glitter in this one really stands out and makes this polish so sophisticated. 

Last but not least we have Alice:

Zoya Enchanted Collection- Alice

Alice is again a polish that will be loved by those whom love blurple. This polish does have purple shimmer and micro blue shimmer. This is the one polish from the Pixie Dust part of the collection that I thought was better with a top coat. Zoya describes as "a captivating periwinkle with blue and magenta sparkles. Again I think that the glitters stand out more in this polish when it has a nice shinny top coat. Formula is great you may need 3 coats. 

That is Zoya's Enchanted Collection. I love it! My favorites of the collection are the Pixie Dust, I do love Olivera and Saint, but if I had to choose between those two and the Pixie Dust I would choose the Pixie Dust. My top two that I would recommend if you can't get the whole collection would be Lorna, the beautiful berry polish and Elphie which is the beautiful emerald (perfect Christmas) green.

In the video you will see all of the polishes on swatch sticks and you will see all of the Pixie Dust polishes both matte and with top coat. I hope that you enjoyed this and that you find a couple of polishes that you will love to. Please make sure to follow us on Google+ +Opal Essence Beauty  so you will be aware of all new content.

October Favorites (Nails) (En español)

Hola de nuevo a todos,

Estoy tan contento de que es tiempo de otoño. Me encantan los suéteres, casi todo calabaza, y mi cumpleaños. Para aquellos de ustedes que no saben que nací en Halloween, por lo que la caída siempre ha sido mi favorito. Voy a hacer este favorito un poco diferente. Esta vez voy a echar un vistazo a todas las colecciones que han salido para la caída (mainstream), y te digo mis favoritos de cada colección. También intentaré vincular a donde usted puede encontrarlos para comprar en línea si es posible. Alerta de Spoiler: Todas estas marcas publican hermosas colecciones de otoño !!!

Empecemos con OPI:

OPI La colección de Washington DC:

Esta colección fue una colaboración entre la actriz estadounidense Kerry Washington y Suzy Weiss-Fischmann. El tema entero y final fuera de esta colección para mí era perfecto. OPI hizo un buen trabajo de seguir la colección de Washington DC, manteniendo la colección muy caída. Ahora me encanta toda esta colección porque OPI nos dio todo lo que cae es, en una colección. Me alegro de que no hicieron glitter, shimmers, acabados de perlas y dejó la colección simple con la maravillosa fórmula de crema que hemos llegado a amar de OPI.

Aquí está una mirada a los 15 pulimentos de la colección:

O.P.I Fall 2016 Washington DC Collection:

Top Row R to L: CIA (Color is Awesome), Stay off the Lawn, Suzi-First Lady of Nails, Never a Dulles Moment, Pale to the Chief
Second Row R to L: Yank My Doodle, Freedom of Peach, Squeaker of the House, Shhh..It's Top Secret, Madam President
Third Row R to L: OPI by Popular Vote, We the Female, Inside the ISABELLEt Way, Kerry Blossom, "Liv" in the Gray

Ahora no es impresionante. El polaco desnudo en la esquina superior derecha de la imagen, llamado Pale to the Chief, es el único que tiene un final diferente que el resto de los pulimentos. OPI describe Pale al Jefe como "Tan casi desnudo, es casi escandaloso"

Mi primer favorito de esta colección es Freedom of Peach. Este pulimento se describe como "Usar este melocotón cremoso es su derecho." Ahora en mi opinión este esmalte es más un naranja quemado que un melocotón. La fórmula de este pulimento es de oro. Dos abrigos y tu bien. Para mí esta sombra es una de las sombras que dice otoño. Tal vez eso es porque me recuerda a las calabazas y me encanta casi cualquier calabaza.

Mi segunda sombra favorita es Squeaker de la casa. OPI describe este pulimento como "Un chocolate marrón que es tan delicioso, que cruza las líneas del partido." Me encanta pulimentos marrones, dos de mis favoritos son ¿No sabes Jacques y lo grande es su danés? Ahora ambos están más en el lado taupe de marrón donde como Squeaker de la casa es más de un verdadero chocolate marrón. Una vez más la fórmula de estos pulimentos es más que maravilloso!

Mi tercera favorita es un empate entre dos pulimentos. Hay el pulimento amarillo llamado nunca un momento de Dulles. Este pulimento es descrito por OPI como "Un amarillo de curry visto en el aeropuerto y las pistas de la semana de moda" Este es un amarillo pálido mostaza, ahora el amarillo es un color duro de hacer, creo que esto tiene una fórmula correcta. Está bien en dos abrigos, pero puedo ver donde algunos podrían necesitar tres. Y el otro es el verde de oliva / ejército llamado Suzi - La Primera Dama de las uñas. Este pulimento es descrito por OPI como "Comandar la escena política en este elegante verde oliva". Me encanta este verde, tiene una maravillosa fórmula y se aplica tan fácilmente.

Esta colección lo tiene todo de los rojos del arándano a los marrones hermosos e incluso incluye un amarillo. Creo que la colección de Washington DC es una necesidad para cualquier recolector de esmalte de uñas.

Colección urbana del Grunge de Zoya:

Urban Grunge Metallic Holos
Top Row: Alicia, Troy, Merida
Bottom Row: Finley, Britta, Ash

Urban Grunge One Coat Creams
Top Row: August, Mallory, Tara
Bottom Row: Courtney, Wyatt, Noah

Zoya sacó una hermosa colección de dos partes para el otoño. La primera parte de la colección se llama el Holos Metálico, son todos cremosos, pulimentos lisos. Siguen en dos abrigos, Alicia puede necesitar tres dependiendo de sus abrigos. Alicia, Mérida, Finley son los abrillantadores holográficos y Troy, Britta y Ash son los abrillantadores metálicos.

Mis favoritos de los Holos Metálico son Mérida el bosque verde disperso holográfico, Finley es un hermoso color de uva de concordia que también es el acabado holográfico disperso. Mi último favorito es Alicia, que también es otro holográfico disperso, pero tiene un hermoso cambio de oro que hace que este aspecto polaco increíble. Mi corredor es Troy. Troy es un gris de cañón gris oscuro que sigue en una capa, ahora creo que si usas capas delgadas puedes necesitar dos capas, pero me escapé con una.

Ahora desde las cremas de un revestimiento. Esto es difícil porque los amo a todos, pero tendría que decir que mis favoritos serían agosto, Noah Wyatt, Mallory. Ahora me gusta Tara y Courtney, pero no necesariamente a la altura de la reivindicación de un revestimiento. Courtney es incluso un final de gelatina. Creo que lo hicieron maravillosamente bien con esta colección. Espero ver más un pulidor de pulido de Zoya en el futuro.

Escuadrón del amor de Morgan Taylor:

Morgan Taylor Sweetheart Squadron
R to L: Up in the Air-heart, Perfect Landing, Put A Wing on it, Looking for a Wing man, Oh Para-chute, Rule the Runway

Me encanta Morgan Taylor polaco, todos ellos son sorprendentes fórmula sabio. Esta colección tiene un gris claro, verde salvia, arándano rojo, naranja quemado y dos melocotones más ligeros. La fórmula en esta colección es increíble como de costumbre, hay un acabado crelly acabado y el resto son crema. Mi favorito absoluto en esta colección es poner un ala en él que es el naranja quemado pulimento crelly basado. Crelly es una crema y gelatina mezcladas. Se aplica maravillosamente y se verá bien como un todo manicura o sería hermoso para usarlo en el arte del clavo. El siguiente par de favoritos son Perfect Landing, Oh Para-Chute, y Rule the Runway. Una vez más la fórmula es buena, un par de ellos podría ser una capa, dependiendo de cómo se aplica, pero he aplicado dos sólo porque siento que ayuda a todos los pulimentos duran más.

Leyenda clásicos polacos para el otoño de 2016:

Caption Polish Classics Collection
R to L: Milk It, Treat Yourself, Cash In, Feel the Yes, To Be Perfectly Honest, Get to the Point, Defy then Deny, Would You Rather?

Estos pulimentos están inspirados en roadsters y tienen una paleta ligeramente muda que dan a la colección una sensación elegante y moderna, de acuerdo con Young Nails Inc. Polvo de subtítulos es mi marca favorita de esmalte de uñas para usar en los clientes, pero son realmente sorprendentes pulimentos. Tengo algunos favoritos de esta colección empezando con Milk It. Leche Es un rosa casi blanco claro que parece tan elegante y limpio en cualquier manicura. Cash In es mi próximo favorito. Este pulimento es un pulimento verde hermoso del sabio que sea silenciado y un color tan divertido para esta caída. Llegar al punto es el pulimento de naranja quemado en la colección. Ahora de todos los pulimentos de naranja quemados que han salido este año, este es mi favorito. Se aplica sin problemas y se puede acercar a una máquina de recubrimiento, pero todavía es un poco entonces al punto creo que se necesita una segunda capa. Me encanta la forma en que los pulimentos de Caption se usan en las uñas. Tengo un buen 7 a 8 días de tiempo de desgaste de ellos.

Essie Kimono-Over:

Essie Fall 2016 Kimono Over

R to L: Kimono Over, Playing Koi, Udon Know Me, Go Go Geisha, Now & Zen, Maki Me Happy

Esta fue una increíble colección !! La fórmula en esta colección era casi perfecta, los colores más claros definitivamente necesitaban dos capas. Me encanta lo mucho que polvos Essie han mejorado! Recuerdo cuando primero conseguí mi licencia de la cosmetología, intenté un par de pulimentos y no pude creer cómo acuoso y rayado eran. La mayoría de los que probé eran incluso rayado. Mis favoritos de esta colección son definitivamente Kimono Over que es una profunda uva púrpura! Una vez más fórmula increíble, y bueno en dos abrigos! El que más me gusta o encontrar el más único es jugar Koi, se trata de una hermosa naranja de óxido. Este polaco es una jalea, por lo que no es tan opaco como una crema es, pero es hermoso!

Espero que esto fue útil Me encantan todas las colecciones de otoño que han salido. ¡El otoño es mi época favorita del año! Amo todos los colores acogedores, hermosos, profundos, ricos. Tengo que ir a mi cabaña de familias, a principios de octubre, en las hermosas montañas Rocosas. Llegamos a ver todos los árboles de Aspen y sus hojas cambiar. El olor de la caída en el aire en las montañas es increíble. No sé, sin embargo, si estoy a bordo con la calabaza todo, pero admito la calabaza y el olor de Pumpkin Pie puede ser maravilloso!

Si usted está interesado, dejé enlaces directamente debajo de la imagen, simplemente haga clic en las palabras brillantes de color rosa (espere para O.P.I., las letras de OPI son azules !!
Gracias a todos por tomarse el tiempo para leer este blog de octubre. ¡Significa mucho para mí! Déjeme un comentario de cuál de estos pulimentos es su favorito, o si usted tiene una licencia diferente del otoño que abajo, así que puedo intentar algo nuevo !!!! Gracias y no te olvides de seguirnos, para que puedas ver todas las nuevas cosas divertidas que estamos haciendo !!

October Favorites (Nails)

Hello again everyone,

I am so glad that it is fall time. I love the sweaters, almost everything pumpkin, and my birthday. For those of you who don't know I was born on Halloween, so the fall has always been my favorite. I am going to do this favorites a little different. This time I am going to take a look back at all the collections that have come out for the fall(mainstream), and tell you my favorites from each collection. I will also try to link to where you can find them to purchase online if possible. Spoiler Alert: All of these brands put out beautiful fall collections!!!

Let's start with OPI :

OPI The Washington DC Collection:

OPI is probably one of my favorite mainstream nail polish brands. I started to collect OPI first. This year OPI's collection was the Washington D.C. collection. It was comprised of 12 shades and 3 limited edition shade. There was also 2 limited editions released as Ulta Beauty exclusives (I do NOT have the 2 from Ulta). This collection had 14 creams and 1 shimmer, or pearl finish but to the naked eye it looks cream.

This collection was a collaboration between American actress Kerry Washington and Suzy Weiss-Fischmann. The whole theme and final out come of this collection to me was perfect. OPI did a good job of following the Washington DC collection while keeping the collection very fall. Now I love this whole collection because OPI gave us everything that fall is, in one collection. I am glad they didn't do glitter, shimmers, pearl finishes and left the collection simple with the wonderful cream formula that we have come to love from OPI. 

Here is a look at the 15  polishes from the collection:

O.P.I Fall 2016 Washington DC Collection:
Top Row R to L: CIA (Color is Awesome), Stay off the Lawn, Suzi-First Lady of Nails, Never a Dulles Moment, Pale to the Chief
Second Row R to L: Yank My Doodle, Freedom of Peach, Squeaker of the House, Shhh..It's Top Secret, Madam President
Third Row R to L: OPI by Popular Vote, We the Female, Inside the ISABELLEt Way, Kerry Blossom, "Liv" in the Gray

Now isn't that stunning. The nude polish in the top right corner of the picture, called Pale to the Chief, is the only one that has a different finish than the rest of the polishes. OPI describes Pale to the Chief as "So nearly nude, its almost scandalous"  

My first favorite from this collection is Freedom of Peach. This polish is described as "Wearing this creamy peach is your right." Now in my opinion this polish is more a burnt orange than it is a peach. The formula of this polish is golden. Two coats and your good. To me this shade is one of the shades that says Fall. Maybe that is because it reminds me of pumpkins and I love almost anything pumpkin. 

My second favorite shade is Squeaker of the House. OPI describes this polish as "A chocolate brown that is so yummy, it crosses party lines." I love brown polishes, two of my favorites are You Don't Know Jacques and How Great is Your Dane? Now both of those are more on the taupe side of brown where as Squeaker of the House is more of a true chocolate brown.  Again the formula on these polishes is beyond wonderful! 

My third favorite is a tie between two polishes. There is the yellow polish called Never A Dulles Moment. This polish is described by OPI as "A curry yellow seen on airport and fashion week runways"  This is a pale mustard yellow, now yellow being a hard color to make, I think this has an ok formula. It is ok in two coats, but I can see where some might need three. And the other polish is the olive/army green called Suzi- The First Lady of Nails. This polish is described by OPI as "Command the political scene in this chic olive green."  I love this green, it has a wonderful formula and applies so easily.

This collection has it all from cranberry reds to beautiful browns and it even includes a yellow. I think the Washington DC collection is a must have for any nail polish collector. 

Zoya Urban Grunge Collection:

Urban Grunge Metallic Holos
Top Row: Alicia, Troy, Merida
Bottom Row: Finley, Britta, Ash

Urban Grunge One Coat Creams
Top Row: August, Mallory, Tara
Bottom Row: Courtney, Wyatt, Noah

Zoya put out a beautiful two part collection for fall. The first part of the collection is called the Metallic Holos, they are all creamy, smooth polishes. They go on in two coats Alicia may need three depending on your coats. Alicia, Merida, Finley are the holographic polishes and Troy, Britta, and Ash are the metallic polishes.  

My favorites from the Metallic Holos are Merida the forest green scattered holographic, Finley is a beautiful concord grape color that is also the scattered holographic finish. My final favorite is Alicia which is also another scattered holographic, but it has a beautiful gold shift that makes this polish look amazing. My runner up is Troy. Troy is a dark gunmetal gray that goes on in one coat, now I do think if you use thin coats you may need two coats, but I got away with one. 

Now from the one coater creams. This is hard because I love them all, but I would have to say my favorites would be August, Noah Wyatt, Mallory. Now I do like Tara and Courtney, but they don't necessarily live up to the claim of one coater. Courtney is even a jelly finish. I think they did wonderfully well with this collection. I look forward to seeing more one coater polishes from Zoya in the future. 

Morgan Taylor Sweetheart Squadron:

Morgan Taylor Sweetheart Squadron
R to L: Up in the Air-heart, Perfect Landing, Put A Wing on it, Looking for a Wing man, Oh Para-chute, Rule the Runway

I love Morgan Taylor polishes, they all are amazing formula wise. This collection has a light gray, sage green, cranberry, a burnt orange, and two lighter peaches. The formula's in this collection are amazing as usual, there is one crelly finish polish and the rest are cream. My absolute favorite in this collection is Put a Wing On It which is the burnt orange crelly based polish. Crelly being a cream and jelly mixed together. It applies beautifully and will look good as an all over manicure or would be beautiful to use it in nail art. The next couple of favorites are Perfect Landing, Oh Para-Chute, and Rule the Runway.  Again the formula is good, a couple of them could be one coaters, depending on how it is applied, but I applied two just because I feel that it helps all polishes last longer.

Caption Polish Classics for Fall 2016:

Caption Polish Classics Collection
R to L: Milk It, Treat Yourself, Cash In, Feel the Yes, To Be Perfectly Honest, Get to the Point, Defy then Deny, Would You Rather?

These polishes are inspired by roadsters and have a slightly muted palette that give the collection a sleek and modern feel, according to Young Nails Inc. Caption polish is my number favorite nail polish brand to use on clients, but they are really amazing polishes. I have a few favorites from this collection starting with Milk It. Milk It is a light almost white pink which looks so chic and clean on any manicure.  Cash In is my next favorite. This polish is a beautiful sage green polish that is muted and such a fun color for this fall. Get to the Point is the burnt orange polish in the collection. Now out of all the burnt orange polishes that have come out this year, this is my favorite. It applies smoothly and can get close to a one coater, but it is still a little then to the point I think that it needs a second coat. I love the way that Caption polishes wear on the nails. I get a good 7 to 8 days wear time out of them. 

Essie Kimono-Over:

Essie Fall 2016 Kimono Over
R to L: Kimono Over, Playing Koi, Udon Know Me, Go Go Geisha, Now & Zen, Maki Me Happy

This was an amazing collection!! The formula in this collection was near perfect, the lighter colors definitely needed two coats. I love how much Essie polishes have improved! I remember when I first got my cosmetology license, I tried a couple of polishes and I couldn't believe how watery and streaky they were. Most of the ones I tried were even streaky. My favorites from this collection are definitely Kimono Over which is a deep grape purple! Again amazing formula, and good at two coats! The one I like the most or find the most unique is Playing Koi, this is a beautiful rust orange. This polish is a jelly, so it isn't as opaque as a cream is, but it is beautiful! 

I hope this was helpful I love all the fall collections that have come out. Fall is my favorite time of the year!! I love all the cozy, beautiful, deep, rich colors. I got to go to my families cabin, back at the beginning of October, in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. We got to see all of the Aspen trees and their leaves changing. The smell of fall in the air in the mountains is amazing. I don't know however if I am on board with the Pumpkin everything, but I do admit Pumpkin and the smell of Pumpkin Pie can be wonderful! 

If you are interested I left links directly under the picture, just click on the bright pink words(expect for O.P.I., OPI's letters are blue!!

Thank you all so much for taking time to read this October favorites blog. It means a lot to me! Leave me a comment of which of these polishes is your favorite, or if you have a different fall polish leave that below, so I can try something new!!!! Thank you and don't forget to follow us, so that you get to see all the new fun things we are doing!!

¡Hola!

Los favoritos de septiembre, verano parecía correr justo por y en este mes tantos pulimentos nuevos salió. Sinful Colors salió con la colaboración Kylie Jenner llamada Trend Matters que fue un total de 28 pulimentos. Se podían encontrar la mitad en Wal-Greens y la otra mitad en Target. Luego, hacia el final del mes, lanzó la tercera parte de la colabora- ción # 3 de Kylie Jenner llamada Denim & Bling. Las tres colaboraciones de Kylie Jenner (King Kylie, Trend Matters y Denim & Bling llegaron a un total de 63 nuevos polishs para Sinful Colors, lo cual es asombroso ya que el año pasado las colecciones de Sinful Colors parecían ser mucho más promocionales. Los colores no se detuvieron allí que lanzó un buen número de colecciones más, hay la colección #pride que es de 7 nuevos polacos y se promueve el pulimento de brillo llamado Pride.Llegaron la colección de Vegas Glitz que fue de 7 neones, un pulimento blanco, Y una capa superior.Llevaron la colección Star Struck que es principalmente re promueve, excepto para el brillo nueva edición limitada.

Eso es mucho para Sinful y yo, gracias. O.P.I. No era ajeno a un montón de nuevas colecciones en los primeros meses de este año. Comenzaron a lanzar la Colección Hello Kitty, que tenía 12 nuevos pulimentos con una gama de rosas, un rojo primario, azul y amarillo, un negro y 2 brillos. Luego lanzaron la Colección de Nueva Orleans. Aquí lanzaron otros 12 abrillantadores que son magníficos. Si eso no era suficiente, tuvimos la colección Soft Shades que es de 6 nuevos tonos pastel. Luego finalmente lanzaron la pieza de 8 Alice Through the Looking Glass Collection como su Colección Brights para este año. Junto con esa colección de 8 piezas, también lanzaron una edición limitada por lo que un total de 9 nuevos abrillantadores. También hay muchas otras marcas mainstream, indie, y farmacia que han salido con una tonelada también.

Me parece una locura cómo pueden seguir presentando nuevos colores y ideas de colección, pero me encanta y será un ávido coleccionista en los próximos años. Tengo suerte de que mi campo de carrera corre mano y mano con mi afición de recoger polaco. Ser una cosmetóloga tengo la oportunidad de compartir nuevas marcas con mis clientes y verlos enamorarse de un nuevo esmalte en su colección me hace sonreír.

En mis favoritos de septiembre:


1.) O.P.I Avoplex uñas y cutícula aceite de reabastecimiento:

Avoplex Nail y Cuticle Replenishing Oil

Me di cuenta de que mientras estaba en la muestra de varios pulimentos en un día y luego tomarlo de inmediato, mis uñas estaban empezando a ser sensible. Cuando me tocaba las uñas no era doloroso se sentía raro. He intentado usar mi gel de cutícula de pomelo de Gena Mani Spa que es un gel de cutícula hidratante y que estaba trabajando para mis cutículas, pero necesitaba algo para ayudar a las uñas y la cama de uñas. Entonces encontré la Cuticle de Avoplex y el Oil de Replenishing del clavo. O.P.I. Vende dos versiones de este, un en el ir tubo, o en una botella polaca con un cepillo. Yo uso la botella de polaco uno. Después de que he terminado con las muestras de tomar todo de mis uñas y luego pintar con el aceite de la cutícula. Entonces lo dejo en remojo por 5 minutos todo lo que queda me mensaje en las cutículas. En 3 días la sensibilidad se fue y pude continuar. Siga el acoplamiento haciendo clic las palabras debajo de la imagen a donde usted puede comprar este aceite maravilloso.

2.) Pro-FX Super Greens:

Pro-FX Super Green

3.) Removedor de esmalte de uñas con esponja:

Removedor de esmalte de uñas con esponja

Últimamente he estado usando el removedor de esmalte de uñas que viene en un frasco con una esponja. Me parece que esta es la forma más rápida y fácil de eliminar el esmalte de uñas. Usted simplemente inserta sus clavos en las ranuras en la esponja y luego la esponja ayuda en la eliminación del pulimento. Difícil de quitar el brillo es mucho más fácil de quitar con este método también. Usted puede utilizar cualquier marca de la que está en la imagen es la versión de Wal-Mart. Tienen acetona y no acetona. Yo uso el de Rite Aid en su línea de Renovación. Tiene la esponja y también una varita con una esponja en ella para ayudar a conseguir las áreas difíciles de alcanzar las líneas alrededor de las cutículas. Y la mejor parte sólo cuestan un par de dólares y duran un buen rato.

4.)Julep Maven Caja de bienvenida:

Julep 12 esmaltes de uñas gratis

Así que me arriesgué y me convertí en un Julep Maven, sólo porque están ofreciendo un conjunto de 12 piezas libres polaco ($ 168.00 valor) gratis todo lo que tenía que hacer era pagar por su primera caja, que ya he personalizado mi caja y estoy tan Entusiasmado con ello. Haga clic en la imagen y ver el video para ver los 12 pulimentos que conseguí. Sé que los 12 pulimentos pueden ser diferentes de una caja a otra basándome en lo que he visto en línea, usted toma una prueba cuando se registra que le dice a Julep cuáles son sus preferencias. Dejé los enlaces a Julep y el código para que puedas entrar en este conjunto de 12 piezas gratis polaco. Permítanme decir que la calidad y el embalaje era 100 veces mejor de lo que pensé que sería.

Bueno, eso es para mis favoritos de septiembre. ¿Qué has estado amando este mes? ¿Quién está emocionado por la caída. En mi próximo blog estaré haciendo un recapitulo de las Colecciones de otoño de Polonia que tengo y te daré mis diez mejores pulimentos de otoño.
