Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream Swatches

This is my new Deborah Lippman polish, Mermaid's Dream. Oh what a beauty! I fell in love with it when I saw swatches of it and I knew I had to add it to my collection because it's such a gorgeous unique shade. I know Deborah Lippman polishes are expensive and I admit it's painful to want to spend more than $12 on a polish but considering the uniqueness of it and because I was able to get a discount, I found that I could justify my purchase. I also wanted to get the new DB chrome polishes, Sugar Daddy and Private Dancer but they were not available on Beauty.com.

If you've always wanted to try Deborah Lippman polishes but can't bring yourself to pay full price, wait for a sale from Beauty.com. Once in a while, they'll have everything on sale for like 20% off. Plus if you use Ebates, you could also get more cash back, which is exactly what I did with my order.
This polish cost $18.00. With the 20% off sale, it brought the price down to $14.40. With the 13% cash back from Ebates, I'm getting back $1.88. So in the end, I only paid $12.52 for this polish.

Mermaid's dream is a shimmery seafoam green with small teal glitters and fine gold glitters. I have 3 coats on the swatches. The first coat applies sheer. The second coat is acceptable but I preferred how it looked with a third coat. I like the textured look. Honestly, the pictures do not do this polish justice. It is way prettier in person.

Rosegold Arm Candy

Hey yall!

If you remember, these are pieces that I just recently hauled from HSN.com. And of course what I loved about it is that they all go nicely together since they are all rosegold color.

So here I have the RJ Graziano 10 piece bangles and the chunky link watch. I must say that the overall look of this arm candy is definitely more "fancy" as compared to my other arm candy.
This would be perfect for a fancy night out or a formal party. If you prefer to wear the bangles on their own, here is how they look stacked up together.
I prefer more casual looks when it comes to jewelries, since I like to dress casual most of the time but it's always nice to have a fancy set of jewelries for those special occasion that requires a more sophisticated appeal.

 

What's your favorite piece of fancy jewelry?

Target Shoe Haul

Hi everyone,

I apologize for the absence. I've had a lot of things on my mind lately and wasn't really able to focus on my blog. I purchased these shoes last week from Target. The first two pairs were for my daughter and the last two were for me.

• Black gladiator sandals with feathers. They look so cute. They also come in brown but we liked the black one more. $19.99

• Studded nude flats. These are also very cute and sparkly. I wanted one for myself but oh well, my daughter really liked them and she is 1/2 size smaller than me unfortunately so we can't share shoes, lol. $19.99

• Floral Wedges. I have really been into wedges lately. They are a lot more comfortable than heels. I couldn't resist the cute floral prints on these shoes. These are very comfortable as well. $24.99.

• Metallic wedges. It looks like a very light cool tone gold. I love how shinny it is, the braided texture, and criss-cross strap. Got lots of compliment when I paired this one with a flowy black dress I also bought from Target. $24.99.

I've been seeing a lot of cute shoes at Target. There was another pair of sandal I wanted but decided to put it back since I already grabbed 4 pairs and that was not even including other merchandise I already have in my cart. Ughhh...I'm such a shopaholic! It's fun and depressing at the same time, lol.

Have you bought anything from Target lately?

Wet N Wild Blue Wants To Be A Millionaire

Thanks to Rosie for showing off this nail polish, lol, I went to Walgreens to purchase it the same day I saw it on her nails.
Apparently, this isn't a new color, lol, and I thought it was since I've never seen it before. Then again, I am not really a huge fan of Wet N Wild nail colors so perhaps that is why I've never noticed it.
Anyways, what I love about it is the fine holographic glitters in it. The base is a sheer light jelly blue color. I'm wearing 3 coats on the swatches and I think it's acceptable even if you can still spot the nail line peaking through.
It looks ok on its own but if you don't want to see the nail line, you would have use it over another color.

If you like glitters on your nails but don't want them to look too overpowering then I think you will like this polish.

Arm Candy - Edgy Fun Spikes

I've really been loving those spike brackets that I see just about everywhere I turn. This is such a cool trend.

Not long ago, I purchased these magenta/pink spike bracelets from Forever 21 and I was wondering how I'm going to pull it off. It wasn't easy but I found a combo that I was quite happy with.

I paired them with gold spikes and gold bangles as well as a studded rhinestone chain bracelet that I purchased from Icing. The gold spikes were bought from Charlotte Ruse and the gold bangles are old, lol...You can find those anywhere.

The result was edgy and fun. I was worried about it looking tacky but I made it work, I think.

What would you pair those pink spikes with?

Teal Me Arm Candy

 

Yes, teal my arm! LOL. This is kind of a teal/minty color that I recently added to my growing bracelet collection and I absolutely love the pop of color. I find that it complements my A|X white marble watch really nicely.

From left to right

• Minty studded chain bracelet from H&M
• Teal Rhinestone bracelet from H&M
• Armani Exchange Two Tone Pave Watch. I swear every piece of jewelry goes with this watch! It's so versatile.  
• Stretchy teal and minty bead bracelets from Forever 21.

I love adding these fun colors to my arm. What do you think of this combo?
