New Goodies! Portugal Swap

I was very lucky to swap with a another wonderful person from Portugal. If you remember a while back I posted a swap with All About My Nails who has a blog that I've followed for quite some time (her blog is in Portuguese then translated to English).
I met Elisa from this blog and set up a swap for ten polishes. While she doesn't have a blog to show what I sent her I figured that I could show you what I was sent. So here we go...

Oscar Blandi Pronto Colore Root Touch-Up and Highlighting Pen

The Product:

 The Oscar Blandi Pronto Colore Root Touch-Up and Highlighting Pen is a great way to cover up roots, enhance your highlights, or just add some natural color to your hair. As the title suggests the product comes in a pen form where you click the product up through the applicator (which resembles a Stila Lip Glaze). The formula is both ammonia and peroxide free and and full of gentle conditioners. The application is very simple; all you do is paint the color on! Additionally, the color dries quickly and is waterproof. The pen comes with .16oz of product for $23.00 and can be purchased at BGlowing.com, or anywhere else Oscar Blandi Products are sold.

What comes inside the box.

My Opinion:

 This is a very fun product to use! I have the color Neutral Brown and it is just slightly lighter than my natural hair color which gave me a very refreshing low-light effect. It added extra dimension to my hair that washed out when I shampooed my hair. All in all I can't think of any downside to this product.  It would also be amazing if you do color your hair for in between touch-ups or just for adding more highlights to your hair.

My Rating:

 Ease of Use: 4.5/5

 Quality: 4.5/5

 Packaging: 4/5

 Value: 4/5

Candy Cane Nails!

Candy canes are one of my favorite parts of the holidays (only the peppermint one's though)! So it was only a matter of time before I got around to doing this design. I've also been a bit out of the loop (nail art wise) so I thought something with straight lines would be a good starting point back in.

I can say with complete honesty that I will probably do this at least one more time before the holiday season ends. Hopefully the next time I will be able to get the lines a bit less shaky! Enjoy and Happy Holidays! 



3 Quick and Easy Halloween Nail Designs

I have been insanely busy lately but I have been getting tons of requests for Halloween nail art. I had two hours free (that includes editing, filming, etc) and managed to put this together. While I am not totally loving the way these turned out I figured it was still worth showing you. I hope you enjoy and have a safe and Happy Halloween!
