Blackheart Beauty "Daydream Scream" Review

Hello everyone! My first review of the month is for a polish I got for Christmas from one of my best friends. This polish, as you can see from the title, is by Blackheart Beauty in the shade “Daydream Scream” which I previously had no clue what the name of this shade was and I had to guess, but turns out it is on the bottle; the other bottle didn't say so I just assumed lol. I believe this polish can be found at Hot Topic.

First off, I’d like to say that this is not a one coat polish. I used three coats to get the color I have in this photo. However, I didn’t really mind doing three coats because each thin coat dried SO QUICK. It dried in less than a minute so it was cool. Secondly, I’d like to say that this color is very pretty. It is a bluish-purple color and has a subtle glitter effect to it. I think it would be a good color to use for a galaxy nail design. Maybe I’ll do that sometime..? Lastly, the polish has lasted. I have washed the dishes two or three times since I put it on and it hasn’t chipped at all. It hasn’t even worn off at the tips of my nails as much as other polishes do. I’m pretty satisfied with it.

Overall, I’d say this polish is pretty great. It was a great gift and I’m glad it’s part of my collection. As I said, I think this would be a great base to a galaxy nail design. If anyone wants to try that out, get this polish at Hot Topic or online and tell me how that works out lol. I’ll see you on Wednesday! BYYEEE

Miracle Gel “Greyfitti” Review

Hello everyone! Today I have a review for one of my newer polishes by Sally Hansen called “Greyfitti” (#260). So, keep reading to see what I think! The first thing I have to say is that this polish took 3 coats to get this opacity. That was a little bit annoying, but it didn’t take too long to dry and this color is very pretty. I guess if you needed a really transparent grey color for any type of nail design that this polish could be considered multifunctional. Also, this color reminds me of Candie’s “Concrete Jungle”, which I’ve done reviews on before, except it's a bit of a lighter shade of grey. I may like Candie’s a bit better… no offense to Sally Hansen lol. This polish is great and you know that I love Sally Hansen products, but I prefer the other one a bit more. Overall, I’d say that this polish deserves 4 out of 5 stars. I like the color and it dries quickly. So far it has lasted with no chips (even though I haven’t had it on for that long so I’...

DIY: Pumpkin Spiced Latte

Hey everyone! So, like the basic white girl I am, I love pumpkin spiced lattes. However, buying them every day can really drain your bank account (or in this case my allowance hehe). Today I have decided to teach you how to make an easy, quick pumpkin spiced latte. Naturally, I found this recipe from Pinterest, but I tweaked it a bit. Here’s what you’ll need: ¾ cup milk (I used 2% because that’s what was in the fridge) 2 tsp. white granulated sugar 2 tbsp. pumpkin puree ¼ tsp. vanilla extract A palm full of pumpkin spice ½ cup hot coffee Whip cream (for an extra touch, but it’s optional) Start off with combining your milk, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, and pumpkin spice. You’ll want to blend this mixture until it is frothy. I used a hand mixer, but you can use a blender if you want. Next, you want to heat up the pumpkin mixture you just made. The original recipe said to heat it in a sauce pan, which I did the first time, but I was too lazy this time an...

L.A. Colors Color Last - First Impressions

Hey everybody! So I was walking around my local Walmart about 2 weeks ago and I came across a new display of nail polish for L.A. Colors Color Last nail polish. The polishes went for 2 dollars (I think anyway they were pretty cheap) and they claimed to last up to 10 days with the top coat. I decided I’d test that out because why not buy more nail polish that will inevitably dry out and be wasted, whatever. So that is what this blog post is for; I’ll be giving you my first impressions of both the actual polish and the top coat itself. The color I chose is called “Friendship” and it’s a neutral purple color with slight pink tones. It also has this weird glitter that you can only see when it’s wet or if you have eagle eyes. Anyway, it is a nice color (I used 2 coats) but I had a few problems with application. This particular polish did NOT go on smoothly at all and it looked really rough on its own. I contemplated testing the polish without the top coat on one hand for a ...
