Nail Art Style

Well, I don't use eyeshadow very often, even though I tell myself I will... But then I don't... But I can't lose my mascara and eyeliner! So I choose losing all of my palettes and eyeshadows.

I have chopped off my hair on many occasions so that's not scary. But I am in the annoying growing out process with my hair right now, so losing the temptation to cut it would be great! I pick never being able to cut it again.

I have never tried coral shades on my skin before, and my ghostly pale skin already has a pink tint, so I'll go with the easiest choice and pick pink.

Oooh! Tough choice! I do love both... But I could buy a lot of clothes! And I can never have enough clothes... OR, third option! Nail polish! I pick $1000 worth of nail polish.

Since I've never been to either, I choose Ulta.

I would have to pick lip color, since I am not very adventurous with it, it would be easier to live with. Plus I just bought a giant box of eyeshadows! I can't part with that!

That's a random question! I guess Winter clothes in Summer, because then I can just remove layers until I was comfortable. Summer clothes in Winter?! I would be a Popsicle!

Well, this implies that I know how to pull off the messy bun without looking like I have gum stuck in my hair... But if I could ever pull it off, I would pick a messy bun. They're just so chic!

Hint, this blog is called I Heart Nail Art... The answer is obvious! Even the thought of living without nail polish gives me chills...

Thanks for reading! I tag anyone who would like to do this Tag. If you do it, leave me a link in the comments!

Printed leggings have really been growing on me, so I had to pick these up. I think they were around $10 or $12. And the boots were a splurge purchase, I tried them on and they were so comfortable! I paid around $20 I think.

Yes, I bought shorts in Winter! What's wrong with me?! But they are really high-waisted and flattering, and my co-worker totally talked me into them, so it wasn't technically my fault... :p Plus they look cute with tights or leggings... So there's that... They were like $13.

The sweater is a bit Gladiator with the gilded shoulders, but I love it. The green color is also really flattering on my ghostly pale skin. I don't remember how much it cost, sorry! Bad blogger!

I've seen the turban trend around for a while, but I couldn't really get into it. But when I saw these head bands I thought they were a cute baby step into this trend. I think they were $8 for the set. I have an awful memory apparently.

So sparkly! I love this sweater. It's a bit scratchy, but that's the price I'm willing to pay for so much sparkle! It's also quite slouchy, so it looks really cute with leggings. Obviously plain leggings, I don't need to look like a disco ball...

Yes, yet another purchase from work! I think I shop there almost as much as I work there... Anyway! I bought this super comfy sweater with really interesting studded sleeves. It feels like I'm hugging a polar bear, just without the giant teeth and claws...

Yay! I remembered a price! Anyway, I didn't buy any jewelry this month besides these earrings, which is so unlike me. But these are perfect for the holidays, and super sparkly! I also love big earrings, so I figure they will get a lot of use.

How could I have a haul on I Heart Nail Art without showing some polish! First up is this really cute purple holo-glitter polish from my local drugstore. It's from the Covergirl Capital Collection which is inspired by the Hunger Games Catching Fire. I really wanted all the polishes in the collection, but my drugstore was basically cleaned out, so I could only find this shade, and an unattractive mustard yellow holo-glitter. Though as I write this I found a shade called Rogue Red from the collection which is just gorgeous.

And lastly I picked up this Sally Hansen blue based polish with different sized silver glitter particles. 

I went to this giant CVS one weekend, and the polish aisle was huge! It was like my heaven. How I walked out with only one polish is a mystery. I have already used it for a Winter themed design - Coming soon.- , and am really pleased with the coverage and formula.

Well that's it! Sorry if it was a bit long. I also bought gifts for my family, but my mom reads this blog, and I don't want her to know what I got her. I'll do a haul post after Christmas and share what I bought them, and maybe what I received as well. (Marc Jacobs Honey fragrance? Fingers crossed!)

Thanks for reading! (Swatches of the polishes shown are coming soon!) To read my last Haul post click here.    

I know most bloggers love candles, sadly I am not one of them. I like candles, I am just too cheap to by the nice, expensive ones. But I do have a big red velvet candle my mom bought for me that I just love. Sadly it's on its last leg, but it smells so good!

Coffee! I can't live without coffee. I hate tea, but I do like hot chocolate. I just would rather drink coffee... All the time...

I can't really think of one, I must be getting old... But I have always loved the Fall and Winter months, so I'm sure I've had plenty of great moments... I just can't remember them... Though I do remember playing in lots of leaf piles and snow piles as a kid, so that's a nice memory.

I always try to be that girl who can rock the bold red lip, and I continuously fail. But winged eye liner is my signature day look. So I pick winged eyeliner.

I am not really a fragrance connoisseur, but I am currently obsessed with Marc Jacobs Honey, and I think it would be great in any season! One day I will pay the $90 and get it myself. Until then, I will use up all the testers at Ulta.

I love cranberry sauce so much! It isn't Thanksgiving to me without cranberry sauce.

Well, it is currently snowing like crazy here. But in Autumn Rhode Island is quite nice. I only need a light jacket or sweater and I'm ready to go. There is also the changing of leaves, which is always so pretty.

Now all the leaves are dead, and I can't even see my car in the morning. It's like digging for fossils just trying to clean the snow off... I miss Fall...

I would say my grey sweater I bought from Delia's. I love it so much. I've had it for years, but I wear it at least once a week. It's just so cozy and flattering, and because it's neutral I can pair any of my crazy scarves with it and still look cute.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I am addicted to my Zoya Tomoko polish right now (Swatches). I think it works for Fall, Winter, the Holidays, anytime!

Foot... Ball...? Just kidding! But I am not a sporty kind of girl. I know nothing about football, and I'm fine with it. So I pick jumping in leaves. Sounds way more fun anyway.

I actually own not one pair of Uggs! I know, shocking. But I do own quite a few skinny jeans. So the choice is obvious.

No... I hate pumpkin. Mom if your reading this, I'm sorry - She is addicted to anything with the word pumpkin in it.- . But it's true, I find anything pumpkin flavored to be unbearable. 

I love Once Upon a Time so much! I hate that it won't be back until March, I can't wait that long!

Are there even Fall songs? I don't think so... But the endless Christmas songs currently playing at work get me into the holiday spirit. They also might put me into a straight jacket, but that's neither here nor there...

I have actually managed to write a Favorites post that isn't two months late! Yay! 

Yes, it is time to share my favorite things I went broke buying during the month of November. I am fueling this journey with brick oven pizza, and an eggnog latte. Weird combination, but it works.

Let's get started!

First up is an item that is a favorite not just because it's cute, but because it also helps me see! Which is a total bonus. (You can read more about my impaired vision here) 

They are really cute, and I have gotten a lot of compliments on them, but they were painfully expensive. I guess that's the price you pay to actually be able to, you know, see things.

Next is this super adorable watch my mother bought me for work. I can't carry my phone with me during my shift, which is totally fine, but there are no clocks except the tiny one on the register. So my mom fed my Hello Kitty addiction and helped me discover what time it was, all in one gift. Yes I know that's weird that I didn't own a watch before this, but it's 2013! My phone tells me everything! 

I was really bored of my hair, which I always wear straight, so I decided to try wavy hair! My hair is already naturally a bit wavy, so I thought it would be a nice change of pace. 

I was looking for a nice salt spray to help give my hair some nice, soft, beachy waves, when I found this brand. I had never heard of this company before, but the packaging was cute, and the low price didn't hurt either, so I figured I'd give it a shot. While it does contain dead sea salt and sea kelp, which doesn't sound too pleasant, it smells really good. It also leaves my hair feeling really soft, and does it's job of helping my hair stay nice and wavy.

I use it after I wash my hair, then I use my hair straightener -yes, I said Straightener :p-, to create soft curls. I finish it off by running my fingers through the curls to loosen them, then I spray a bit more to help hold the curl. 

I learned how to curl my hair with my straightener online, and it is so much nicer than using a curling iron! I am thinking about making a tutorial on how to do it, so if you think that would be interesting let me know in the comments.

I've already talked a lot about this purse during my What's in My Bag Tag post (here). But I love it so much, so I had to include it in this month's favorites list. 

I bought it at work for around $10. I love the red color, and silver accents. It goes with almost anything I wear. It also holds a surprising amount of stuff!

And lastly is this really pretty necklace that my mother also bought me. Thanks mom! 

I don't know where she got it, most likely Amazon, because her and I are absolutely addicted to Amazon.

I love skeleton keys, and I also love vintage-looking bronze jewelry, so this has become a staple in my jewelry collection. I also like the cute watch face in it that actually keeps time really well. It's really unique looking, and I am just obsessed with it.

Thanks for reading! Sorry if this post was a bit short on favorite items. I had more, but I am saving them for a big haul post I have planned. There will also be some awesome new nail polish too, so stay tuned!

Hey everyone! So, as you may remember me mentioning, last week I went to London to film some tutorials for Clothes Show Live. The first tutorial is now live and I can't wait for you to see it! I've also done my own nails to accompany the tutorial. I absolutely love the simplicity of these nails, they're easy to create yet they really stand out. I definitely think this is a design to do if you're in a rush but you still want something that looks good.

And here's the tutorial on Clothes Show Live TV:
