the ultimate valentine.

...outfit, of course. the ultimate valentine's outfit.
i said i've been loving peach as of late, but in the spirit of the day, here's an all out, in your face red and pink valentine's day outfit.

i've also been loving these fat lip pencils from LAQA & Co. they are super creamy and pigmented and glide on with ease. they aren't too drying and are even a bit glossy. plus, they don't require a sharpener...bonus! i've been wearing 'palate cleanser', a deep blood red, from the Fat Lip Pencil Fiver set. if you find that dark colors make your lips look smaller, try extending the color slightly past your natural lips for a fuller pout.

OMG Nail Polish Strips review

if you're like me and don't have a good chunk of time to sit and do your nails...then wait for them to dry, you'll love these nail polish strips from OMGNailStrips.com.

nail polish strips [are different from nail wraps and stickers in that they] are actually made with nail polish but without the drying time. they are thin and stretchy making them easy to mold to your nails. no heat is needed.

the strips feel like nail polish on your nails (slightly tacky like almost-dry polish, but it IS dry...weirdly cool!), and it is recommended that you apply a topcoat.

i loved that i was able to get things done while doing my nails. i applied a couple nails, threw some laundry in the dryer, applied a few more nails, stopped to make lunch, finished off my nails...

pros: only $7.99/set of 14, fast and easy to apply, no heat needed. if you have short nails, you can cut the strips in half and get two nails out of each sticker - doubling its value.

cons: other than wishing they had more designs, i don't have any cons specific to OMG Nail Polish Strips. like any other nail stickers, they needed to be trimmed to fit my tiny nails, and that's what took the most time. if you have short nails and have to trim the stickers, consider the design you choose. you may want to choose smaller and/or repetitive patterns vs a single design that may end up being cut off. 

current special, pick any 5 sets for $25 + free shipping with code: 5pack

have you tried nail polish strips?
