Hi! My Name is Liz...

And I'm obsessed with nail polish!

The moment you know you hit rock bottom is when the sales clark at CVS tells you about up coming nail polishes. Not only that, but points out that your always buying them and knows how much you love them! lol

Anyways there's some new displays out from NYC color. They had a whole bunch of new makeup and nail polishes out. I didn't need any new makeup cause I have plenty. But I don't seem to have "enough" nail polishes...lol They had a bunch of nice colors but this one color just stood out to me plus I don't own a color like this.

The color is in Persistent Putty. It cost $2.49. (prices may vary, depending were you live) It kinda looks like the color of mud, but prettier...lol  Also It kinda looks like it has purple to it. I think the color is alwsome!

It states that it's up to 7 day wear. This is the second day and so far the color hasn't chip. Maybe it's my Seche Vite, well see! ^_~

Well let me know below what your obsessed with at the moment?

Mellow-Yellow

I was going through my nail polish collection and noticed that I only one yellow nail polish...Hmm that can't be right...So I went over to my local drug store (CVS) and found this pretty decent yellow color.

So I picked up the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Yellow Kitty. (how cute is the name?...lol) It about $8.29. (depending were you live prices may vary) I also noticed that there was a orange sticker on it stating that it was 75% off. Holy Crap! lol

The application of this nail polish took my forever, because the polish is very sheer. To get the results in the pic it took me five times over each nail. The up side is the polish is a very pretty color. I'm hoping that not all of the Sally Hansen brand isn't as sheer as this one. Crossing my fingers cause there are some very pretty colors that I'm looking forward to buying.

I'm loving this brush head. I usually make a mess when it comes to painting my nails, so I would get nail polish all over my cuticle's. But this brush is curve so it's pretty much mess proof!

Even though it takes five passing to get this color, I would still paint my nail is color again.

Let me know what nail polish your wearing!

Thanks for reading!

Minty

Since summer is just about here, I've have been dying to find a cute summery nail polish. I was looking everywhere I went and I wasn't looking for pricey ones, cause my funds are low...lol So my boyfriend knew I was on the hunt for a minty green nail polish so he found this for me at CVS. I was so happy cause I felt like the hunt was over but I still keep my eyes open for some other colors...hee hee 

Anyway who, this color is so damn pretty. I think I'll repaint them again once my nails start chipping. 

This is a Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail color in Mint Sorbet. It was about $2.99 at CVS, but depending where you live, prices might vary. 

FYI I used Seche Vite base and top coat.

Sorry that the camera kinda washes out the color of the nail polish, so it's suppose to look a bit brighter.

Have a lovely weekend!

Mom's Birthday Cake!

What can be better than Makeup? 

CAKE that is! lol

So my mom's Birthday was on the 4th of May and I made her this delicious Coconut Cake with Pineapple Filling. This cake took me about 3 hours to prepare. I was so exhausted but in the end it was so worth it! 

This cake was so good and moist that it was gone so quick. My sister thought it was from a Bakery. It actually did taste like it was from the Bakery. This recipe calls for a Lemon Curd Filling but since my mom doesn't like lemon so much, she asked me to make it with pineapple instead. So I found a recipe for a pineapple filling and made it with that. The pineapple goes so well with the coconut in this cake. I bet the lemon curd would also taste really well. The frosting was really good too. Kinda tasted like marshmallows...hmmm Wish I had a piece right now...lol

I got this cake recipe from joyofbaking.com. I found a Pineapple Filling Recipe on allrecipes.com. I will add the links below. 

The cake isn't all that fancy cause of the shredded coconut on top. I'll leave you with the deliciousness of this cake!
