the newest viva glam-VIVA NICKI!

alright guys, i'm sure all of you are aware of the nick and ricky viva glam launch! i received my pre-order email about 2 weeks ago, but i didn't hear any hyper via twitter or youtube about the email. that is, until the following week. EVERYONE was tweeting about ordering it, some even received it in like 2 days! my boyfriend paid for mine on the 11th, it was my valentines present:] it came yesterday but unfortunately i had class to go to, so i couldn't really bask in the lipstick glory. but today i did swatches and photos for you!

this is a satin finish lipstick. in my opinion, viva glam nicki is an orangey/yellow toned pink. a lot different than the pink friday lip color. which i was nervous about being too similar.

here's a swatch side by side of viva glam and pink friday. pink friday is obviously more of a baby, blue toned pink (maybe even more wearable?)

this is all based on preference, but i probably won't be sporting viva glam all over town, it is a bit too loud for me. i may however, wear viva glam with mascara and call it good! this is more of a collectors item for me, which people think is ridiculous to spend so much on a lipstick and not wear it every single day. oh well, i don't buy many mac products so it's no biggie!

i do like how it looks, maybe for special occasions or certain videos!

and as for the ricky martin lip shine, i am totally skipping that. i am not a fan of him and i really don't want him endorsing any of my cosmetics.

thanks for reading! do any of you have this color yet?

my nicki mini nail polish!

pink friday and save me polish.

hey guys! i went to ulta a few days ago, and i finally picked up the mini nick minaj polishes. (fly, did it on em, save me, and pink friday) they were 12.50 for those 4 mini bottles. i opted for the mini bottles because, otherwise they were 8.50 each, and i don't need any more polish! (so naturally i feel like mini bottles suffice because they aren't full size? meh) if i wanted to buy a full size, it would be pink friday because i love it! that was the first color i chose to paint my nails with. i thought it'd be festive for valentines:] anyway, i loved the look of pink friday! but i also liked save me.....so i tried save me on top of pink friday (i thought it'd totally be nick's style with the spunky glitter on top) and it looks really good!

as i have worn this for a few days now...i do have one complaint about the glitter. although it loos awesome in the bottle and on the nail, the longer pieces of glitter feel very gritty on the nail (even with a top coat!) when i say gritty i mean, when my nails rub against a blanket, or a piece of fabric, i get hairs attached to the glitters. they are almost a bumpy like consistency. when i stick my hands in my pockets, i get hairs stuck on my nails! i guess it's just the different confetti type glitters in this polish that attach themselves to hairs. it's a very cool glitter polish though! this is my only problem, but it won't stop me from using this in the future. i am excited to try the other colors though! which is your favorite nick polish?

thanks for reading!! <3
