BOTD: Acrylic Makeup Storage Tower

I finally found a makeup storage tower that was affordable enough for me.
{So many of them are $50+!}

For $36.99 I got a 10 drawer tower that fits all sorts of things like lipsticks, eyeshadow pots, hair accessories, and even jewelry.


I don't like that the drawers have an indented front, making the inner storage space that much smaller, and that regular eyeliners and lip glosses barely fit.

Chanel eyeshadow quads fit perfectly, as well as mac,
and maybelline eyeshadow pots.


Overall, I am pleased with my purchase, I like the price very much as well as like the way that the clear acrylic makes finding items so easy!

NOTD: Chanel- Suspicious

Suspicious is a bright red based raspberry color that looks brighter under direct sunlight than in the bottle. 2 Coats are needed for full opacity.





As you can tell, I'm not photographing my usual right hand because... I broke a nail. And to top it all off, I wasn't able to take a full hand shot of this hand because I have a giant cut on one of my fingers!

 Leave it to me to be a complete klutz. The other day I totally fell and scraped my knee pretty badly. I had to use the large bandaids. lol. Who trips and falls these days {besides kids}?!?!?! 

me.

NOTD: Pink French Tip

I'm on a roll with these V-day manis :)

Today felt like another french tip, but I used magenta glitter and rhinestones to spice it up!









I've noticed that free handing a french mani by using horizontal lines is actual quite easy!!!

NOTD: V-Day Ready?!

Valentine's Day is fast approaching {actually it's still kind of far off huh? lol} Anyway...

Today's mani was inspired by this picture {which was done on acrylics, I think}.


 I free-handed everything using 2 polishes and a thick top coat:

1. I painted horizontal lines for the tips, gives them a little roundness at the edges.
 {rather than making straight lines across}

2. For the heart, I began with 2 dots above the white line and connected them downward 
with a fine short brush.

3. Then I filled the them in and tried to make it as close to a heart as possible! :)

















My week has been jam packed with schoolwork!!!  Doing nail art definitely helps me de-stress  a bit!  I hope that you guys enjoy it as much as I do :)
