Kiss Acrylic French Nails
Back with some nail action! This time im using acrylic nails. Overall experience with these brand of nails is the consistency of the acrylic liquid and powder. Maybe I need more practice at applying. But two things I notice that I did not like is that it is dull and the nail doesn't have a gloss or shine to it even after applying a top coat with shine. Another thing was that after the acrylic dries your nails have a slight yellow tint to them.
The pictures I took were taken at night so quality is not that great and u won't see the dislikes I just mentioned in the pic. The nail glue is pretty sturdy just make sure to put a good amount or else the nail won't last u up to a week.
Overall it's a cheaper and decent alternative to get the job well done. Their sturdy enough just like the real deal once applied but they only last for up to 5 days. They give you two different styled nails, french tip and regular nail acrylic.
I would advise to apply a small amount of powder at a time and then slowly build on. U don't want to make the same mistake as I did...see below, lol!
Also, try applying nails outside your home such as a patio. The acrylic liquid fumes really stink up your house for hours and it's bad for your health if inhaled in a sealed in environment (cancerous). Im thinking of trying out their gel nails! Let me know if u have tried them out.

Broadway Nails Fast French Deceptions
As u all might know the Broadway glue-on nails are an awesome alternative to a cheaper acrylic nail manicure. If not I'm here to tell u the 411 with my experience and opinion of this product.
Pricing is 4.99 for 24 nails in 12 different sizes. They are very easy and quick to apply. Product claims to last 7 days on the nail.
They def lasted for 7 days and it was very fast/easy to apply to my nails. Don't really like the glue because it is hard to squeeze out. Also, it drys up after 2 days of opening the bottle so u won't be able to use it again if a nail falls off. Overall I loved these nails they are just as good as the nailene nails. I give it a 4 out of 5.
As seen below is the broadway nails on my fingers after wearing them for 5 days. I got the short length nail size. The nails do a good job imitating your real nail, as u can see the nails have a natural moon effect on them. They are light weight and comfortable, feels and looks like my natural nails just more better!
I am really looking forward to try out these DIY acrylic nails!! Will do a review on them asap. Thanks for reading, following and commenting.

Emerald Beauty FOTD
I used MAC's Late Nite pigment on the lid and NYX's trio Ceramic into my crease. So after work last week I stopped by the library and picked up some good reads. I have been learning alot of tricks and tips from these books! The color mix book is about hair coloring at home, i love it!

Chic Work Attire
Something very plain and simple but still chic! The synced ankle cargo pants adds that unique style and the big brown bag gives a nice neutral pop to the outfit. Added some gold studs with a long rusted gold owl necklace and swung my hair into a high fashion bun. This allowed the outfit to look professional but at the same time sassy.
Hope this can give those of u an idea of how to mix up your work gear into looking more business casual with some flare! I will do more of the work oOTD because I am so into going to work all cute and fashionable but I don't want to be too over the top because it's still a PROFESSIONAL environment. I want create a balance between chic and professional work style. Let me know if you know any good blog sites that have a similar feel to those ootd because I have yet to find any. Thanks!
CIAO!!

Beauty Ritual MUST
My favorite deep pore cleansing facial mask has to be the Indian Healing clay . Most natural and purest facial mask, just one ingredient... 100% pure bentonite clay. This type of clay is usually formed from volcanic ashes, it is then sun-dried for up to 6 months in high temp.(134 degrees). Bentonite is also used as a base for many dermatologic formulas. Clays have been used for centuries to beautify and refresh the skin. Our very own infamous Cleopatra used clay from the Nile river over 1800 years ago as part of her beauty ritual.
*Add water to the powder mix but
it's best to add 100% apple cider vinegar
I do this treatment twice a month, it really sucks in your face and reaches deep down into your pores u can literally feel your face throbbing as it drys. May sound painful but trust me it's not, feels like a tightening affect. It really pulls and lifts the skin, u gotta try it to know what I really mean SERIOUSLY.
Only thing is it's a little hard to wash off so I use my Biore facial cleanser, warm water and a facial scrub brush. Also, your face will be a little red after the treatment for a couple of minutes.
You can find this product at your local whole/health foods store or online at their website. Very affordable and long lasting, had this container for about 3 years.
You won't regret ever buying this product in my opinion :]
