No Polish Challenge- Day 1

Hello all!

I decided yesterday that I needed (rather my nails needed) a break from polish for a bit. I love painting my nails, and I change up the polish every other day, if not everyday. It has an effect on your nails. Especially since I use acetone based nail polish remover. (I'm too impatient to use non-acetone) So i will try and update my blog with the changes I feel in my nails, whether they get stronger or what-have-you.

Here is a starting off point picture

As you can see, they're slightly yellow and my cuticles look so raggedy. We will fix this.

Until tomorrow, God Bless.

Chameleon Polish Update

Hello all. Sorry I didn't get back quicker. I am going to go ahead and tell you about the Chameleon polish I swatched in my last post. I absolutely adored the color. I thought is was gorgeous. The application was a little bit of a PITA since it was a fast drying nail color. It also chipped in less than 24 hours. While I enjoyed the colors, I need my polish to last longer than that. Sorry if this is rambly, I took a benedryl because my allergies/sinuses are messing with me, and drowsiness is occurring... yay. Anyway, hopefully within the next 2 weeks or so, I should have some polishes coming in, but I'll explain that when the day comes. Until then, be safe and God Bless

NOTD-Chameleon Blue Sky

I may not have money to buy nail polishes, but when I do have a little bit of cash, you can best believe I am at the drugstore looking for great polishes for even better prices. Today was no exception. I went into RiteAid and picked up 4 Scherer Chameleon polishes. I'm only telling you about one today, because I want to see how long the wear is on these. They were $2.99 each. Todays is Blue Sky, which is an unbelievably gorgeous duochrome. It is blue and green and purple and is just stunning. I keep staring at my fingernails and watching the color shift. My camera isn't the greatest but it'll do.

Can you see the absolute beauty of this polish....*squeals* I'm in love. Another post with another Chameleon polish coming after the wear test. Til Next Time...God Bless!

Hey guys! I did this nifty nail design on my nails using water marbling... I show you how to do it on my youtube video.

Second half of my Blog Sale

Hey guys! I have decided to sell 4of my Sigma Makeup Brushes. I have gotten many dupes that are just as good and so I really don't need 2 of each of them. The ones I'm selling are the SS194, SS187, S275, and the SS209. They are each $10, plus a shipping cost of $2. These brushes are amazing quality, and I love them so much, but classes are more important than having higher end makeup brushes. Same thing as before. Email me at k_kretchmer@yahoo.com if you see anything you like. =)

New as of 7/22- I need to come up with the last of my tuition, so I am willing to sell the last 4 brushes for $30 including shipping. Email me if you're interested. Thanks for looking.

BLOG SALE- (Price reduction on select items)

So I am having to pay for one of my classes come Fall semester...meaning I hafta have $484 by August 6th. To help with that, I am having a Blog Sale...I have never done of these before, so please be patient. I do have a Paypal account, so that helps. =) I have 1 single MAC eyeshadows (Swish ) 1 MAC quad (its a mineralize quad in Eccentricity), 5 L'Oreal HIP duos (Magnetic, Showy, Spirited, Gilded, Reckless) a MAC brow set (Girl Boy), and a MAC eyeliner pencil (Rave.) I am also selling a Plugged In 1 inch curling iron, a Plugged In 1 inch straightening iron (gets up to 392 degrees, so it's perfect for short thinner hair) and a mini Plugged In straightening iron. My email address where you can send a message requesting whatever item you would like is K_kretchmer@yahoo.com. Then I will email you back with my Paypal email address so you can pay. Once I recieve the payment, I will ship the items out.

Each MAC single eyeshadow is $7.50. All eyeshadows come without the boxes, but I guarantee authenticity. The MAC mineralize quad is $10, without box as well. The L'Oreal HIP duos are $3, unboxed. The MAC Brow Set is $7.50, without box. Lastly, the MAC eyeliner pencil is $8, without the box as well. This was, I believe, a limited edition eyeliner. It is a Pearlglide liner, so it is extremely creamy. I have not figured out how to attach multiple pictures to my blog, but I can email the picture to you, of whichever item you wish to see.

The curling iron is $4, the mini straightening iron is $10, and the regular straightening iron is $20. Shipping for each hair styling tool is $5.

I also am adding $1 for shipping for the cosmetics...I know thats silly, but I hafta pay for that, and I'll end up in the negatives if I don't.

New as of 7/22- I am willing to sell every last thing in this blog to anybody for $60 including shipping. This stuff needs to go ASAP. Tuition is due in 2 weeks, and I'm just a little short on my goal. So email if interested.

Update On My Life

It is once again 5am. I am just starting to get sleepy, but I figured I should update, since it's been a hot minute. I am now 23 years old. My birthday was this past Friday, so I have been 23 a whopping 3 days. LOL. I also am practically guaranteed a job at a local grocery store. Bloom fell through because my customer service manager from Food Lion (when I worked there) made me have a status that means I'm not able to be rehired, for whatever reason, and since Food Lion and Bloom are owned by the same overhead company (Delhaize) I was unable to be rehired. Kinda sucks, but whatever. Farm Fresh will be better I think, because its slightly pricier, so hopefully that means more money. I was unable to pay for summer classes this semester, and I still don't have a car, but that's ok. I am going to work extra hard at Farm Fresh, and save up everything (except for my rent) and I am still going to try to pick up shifts at Carrabba's so that I have less pressure on my Farm Fresh paychecks for rent. I am definitely going to school in the Fall. Once I'm in school, there will be no more rent (that's my mom's rules) so even if I'm paying for school every month (with the payment plan offered through my school) I will still have an extra $300 a month because I won't have to pay rent. I'm aiming to purchase a car by the end of August. *Crosses fingers* I need a set of wheels. Badly. But anyways, I hope ya'll are having a great night/morning, and until next time.... God Bless

XOXO
