these are my latest favorite nail polish colors. sally hansen hard as nails xtreme wear nail color in gunmetal and lime lights. i tried lime lights on my toes a while back, and it didn't get the color that i wanted, so i put it away for a while, and then i felt daring the other day and i tried it on my nails..it was bliss. and gunmetal is just as awesome. and a nice alternative to just plain black.

i went on a search for the perfect bold shade of lipstick to fit the season's trend. well, the perfect shade that i could get at the cost of a very reasonable sum of money.
the first shade pictured is wet 'n wild silk finish 505A. i was at CVS yesterday looking at lipsticks, and this particular brand was only 99 cents each. i figured since i'm not big on wearing lipstick wet 'n wild would be a good test product to search for my desired shade. it turned out to be a little on the light side, and i'm not sure it was totally great with my skin tone. but it's a really pretty frosty pink with just enough brightness but subtle enough to not be too over the top.
then i made a trip to the grocery store today with my mom and sister and was able to invest another 99 cents into a lipstick that was exactly what i was looking for, from the same collection; wet 'n wild silk finish 521A, pictured above. much more vibrant and bold like what i was looking for, with a pearly blue base. i'd say for 99 cents that's pretty good.
on another note, i had dinner with my mom, her husband, and my sister and her boyfriend, and then played a game of trivial pursuit. that was my super exciting day.
can't wait to see what insanity tomorrow brings. ;)
all the best,
