"Can I get a Untz-Untz?!"

Well, my summer is officially over halfway over.

:/

Teachers have to be back in less than a month.

BUT, I'm still in summer mani mode,

so I'm keeping those coming.

Today's mani features the happy glitter from CG's Electric Nights collection,

'Can I get a Untz-Untz?" over CG's 'Boho Blues':

'Can I get a Untz-Untz?" has variously sized lime green, purple, neon green, and neon blue glitters.

I didn't really even notice the purple glitter until I swatched it,

and I'm glad they used all of the the 'cool' colors for this glitter.

I actually really liked it over 'Boho Blues', as well.

As with the other glitters from their summer collection,

formula was GREAT, and I didn't have to fish for any glitters a single time.

:D

That's saying something!

CG's 'Point me to the Party'

I have a lively, happy glitter for ya'll today.

After being at Bonnaroo this past week,

I'm all about some bright/happy/neon/hippie stuff.

Hence, I FINALLY watched 'Point me to the Party' from CG's Electric Nights collection.

I've swatched it over Essie's 'Muchi Muchi':

This reminds me strongly of a neon glitter that Polish Me Silly (previously Lush Lacquer) put out a couple years ago.

Consistency was great, and I actually did NOT have to fish for glitters- which was awesome!

I love it :)

GG's 'More to Explore'

This is the last polish I have from CG's Spring Roadtrip collection,

and it's a nice Summer polish, too. 

Here's 3 coats of 'More to Explore':

'More to Explore' is a bright, peach cream. The formal was 'eh', as was the formula for most of this collection. By the time they released Electric Nights, however, they made up for it.

Regardless, this is a beautiful, happy color that I love wearing on my short, messed up nail :P

CG's Electric Nights Summer collection- 'Treble Maker'

Happy Weekend!

It's a nice, long 3-day weekend for tons of people here in the States.

Lots of sunshine, boating, drinking, eating, and general partying is going on :P

As such, I have a bright, party-isn neon for you today.

I have to apologize in advance for my nails.

I had to pack up my classroom for the summer,

and the boxes/moving were not kind to my nails :/

Anyway, here's 2 coats of 'Treble Maker'.

'Treble Maker' is a neon lime/blue-green that is sure to draw attention.

Formula was good; not streaky or thin like CG's Spring collection.

Opacity was good- it only took 2 coats to reach :)

Cocktail Makeup Series- Kiwi Blueberry Mojito

It's that time again!

Now that the warmer weather/summer is basically upon us,

it's time for my annual Cocktail Makeup Series :)

Today's look is based off of this gem that I found on Pinterest:
Kiwi Blueberry Mojito

This bad boy looks DELISH.

(Find the full recipe here!)

These colors are two of my favorite to play with on my eyes,

so I was really excited to create a variation of this for my series.

Here's my look:

I used:

UD's Primer Potion

UD's 'Sabbath' & 'Heroine'- crease

Sugarpill's 'Afterparty' & Sleek's 'Bolt'- highlight

Sleek's 'Powi' & 'Cream Soda'- inner corners

Sleek's 'Pear Drop', 'Mint Cream', & 'Cricket'- lid/lower lash line

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

Colourpop Cosmetics - Julep

I have another one of the four lippies I purchased the other day to show you!

This one is another pink, but it's much more toned down than 'Go Fish'.

Here's Julep:

Julep is described as "a bright red coral" cream... but I don't know about the 'red' part :)

This was really a gorgeous color that's perfect for Spring or Summer.

The creamy texture to the hippie was great,

and I would definitely suggest it for the upcoming season!

:)

Colourpop Cosmetics- 'Go Fish'

Happy Mother's Day!!

So I know I've been MIA of a week or two again,

but the end of the school year is truly winding down now,

(I have ONE full week left!)

and my schedule is crazy busy.

However, I finally took some time to blog about 1 of the 4 new Colourpop lippies that I ordered a week or two ago.

Today's post is about 'Go Fish'.

This is the first Hyper Glossy lippie that I've tried.

I usually prefer a matte finish,

so I was skeptical about liking this one.

Here it is:

'Go Fish' is described as a "vibrant, coral-red"... but it's more of a vibrant, hot pink ;)

Either way, IT'S AWESOME.

I couldn't believe how much I loved it.

Summer is a perfect time for a lippie like this,

and I can't wait to break it out :)

CG's Electric Nights collection- 'Glow with the Flow'

Ittttttt's almost May!

What?! How is that even possible?

Anyway, May = summer, and summer = neons.

THUS, I have yet another neon from CG's Electric Nights collection :)

Here's 3 coats of 'Glow with the Flow':

Just as it looks, 'Glow with the Flow' is a vivacious neon pink :)

It's probably one of my favorites from the collection, as simple as it is.

Consistency was good, and it took 3 coats- but it was opaque after that.

I love it! :)

CG's Electric Nights collection- 'Home Sweet House Music'

Sorry I've been so MIA lately!

The end of the school year is crazy for teachers.

As such, I've had literally no time to blog, create looks, and I haven't even had my nails painted half the time :(( Sad.

Anyway, I found some time today to quickly swatch a new neon I got form CG's Summer 2015 collection Electric Nights.

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS COLLECTION.

I love neons anyway, but I'm a pretty bug EDM fan & go to a ton of shows,

so this collection is right up my alley ;)

First up is 'Home Sweet House Music'.

Here's 3 coats:

'Home Sweet House Music' is a pretty typical, lovely neon orange.

It reminds me of 'Sun Worshiper' from their 2010 Poolside collection.

The consistency was a little watery,

but overall- I like it :)

My Little Pony makeup series- Rarity

It's time for another installment in my My Little Pony makeup series!

Today's look is based off of Rarity:

Rarity represents the element of generosity in the series.

I decided to use her bold, white color as the main ingredient in my look,

with her mane and eye color as accents.

Here's what I came up with:

I used:

UD's Primer Potion

Sugarpill's 'Tako' & Sleek's 'Cream Soda'- lid

Sleek's 'Parm Violet' & 'Flump'- crease

Sleek's 'Bubble Gum' & 'Bolt'- lower lash line

Sugarpill's 'Poison Plum' & Sleek's 'Sugarlite'- highlight

Covergirl Line Exact eyeliner

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

I used pretty much all mattes for this look,

which I almost never do.

However, the brazen, clear color of Rarity seemed to call for such a thing.

I was uneasy about the harsh white on my lids, at first,

but it actually needed up working fairly well.

Stay tuned for more installments in the next week or so!

:)

Coloupop Cosmetics lippie stix & pencil in 'Flawless'

Today I have my last of the 3 lippie stix I bought from Colourpop Cosmetics recently.

Yesterday's was a gloss, today's is another satin.

Here's 'Flawless':

This was the first time I'd used a lippie pencil,

but it worked very well.

Here are both together:

I've never worn this purple-fushia color on my lips before,

but I. LOVE. IT.

In contrast to the other satin I'd tried,

the formula was considerably better with 'Flawless'.

I'm impressed,

as I've been with almost all Colourpop Cosmetics' lippies!

:)
