Sally Hansen has knocked it out of the park with a nice collection of originals ( & dupes!) of the Nails Inc. Feathers collection. If you remember back to my birthday haul (with LOADS of polishes!) then you’ll know that I bought one! These are cheaper & for me…exactly the same! These don’t say texture to me but they are bar glitters in a clear base! I imagine they are supposed to look like feathers but I think they look more like knit sweaters 🙂 I personally love them & I hope you will too! Keep reading to see the 5 I chose!

Formula was consistent on all of these except for Peach Fuzz which seemed slightly thinner…maybe it was just my bottle? I did different coats which I’ll note below so you could see some more opaque looks here & there. I didn’t use a top coat but I would if I was going to wear them as a manicure, they have a bit of texture to them. I think you can get these more opaque on their own if you really wanted to but I think you’d want to thin it out a bit.

Sally Hansen Tweedy- Black & white bar glitter in a clear base. Seen here over Orly Hot Shot which is a neon so it didn’t photograph right. I love black, white, & neons! 2 coats on my pointer & ring then one coat on my middle & pinky.

Sally Hansen  Fuzz-Sea- Brightened blue & yellow bar glitter in a clear base. Seen here over Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Grape Race for a really springy look! 4 coats on my pointer & middle then one coat on my ring & pinky.

Sally Hansen  Peach Fuzz- Peach & & pale yellow bar glitter in a clear base. Seen here over Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in In Record Lime. One coat on all my nails.

Sally Hansen Wool Knot- Brightened blue & white bar glitter in a clear base. Seen here over Covergirl My Papaya. 4 coats on my middle finger & one coat on the rest.

I passed on a light pink shade but the rest of the line wasn’t at my target where I picked these up. I plan to pick up some of them when they are though because I’m loving this look! I think they were $5 & some change which wasn’t bad for a glitter that I have found myself reaching for. What do you think?

So for those of you who didn’t know, my birthday was in April! I did a birthday haul here which was pretty grand if I do say so myself! One of the best things about signing up for the Sephora Beauty Insiders program is the freebie you get every year! This year Sephora teamed up with Benefit & I’m loving this duo!

You get a mini size of the Benefit They’re Real! Mascara & an adorable little Benefit Watt’s Up! Highlighter. I have been piling up samples of Benefit They’re Real & really do need to finally try it! I’ve pretty much only heard great things so I don’t know what I’m waiting for? The Benefit Watt’s Up! highlighter is such a cute mini! It comes in a little twist up size, perfect for my purse! If you’re a highlighter junkie like me then you’ll be thrilled!

Thrilled. If you haven’t gotten your birthday gift yet I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! love a great freebie!

With my many posts about nails art, eyeshadow tutorials, & hair care… I might not imply enough how much I love jewelry. Because, wow, I love it so much. I’m going to be trying to share of it more on the blog so let’s start with this beautiful bracelet from WiReD Boutique featuring some unique elements! I’ve been wearing it tons since it arrived & have found it to be very versatile.
All of the materials I use are high-quality and the workmanship is extremely detailed. We will return glamour to altered jewelry! Most of the materials are recycled or reclaimed. Your family and friends will be tremendously surprised that your beautiful work-of-art jewelry began as a domino or scrabble tile!

I’m a big time admirer of people who can take something simple (like the scrabble tiles on my bracelet!) & turn it into something way fashion forward.

These beads are beautiful & have a nice weight to them. They have the cool cracked glass appearance which makes them look even more original.

Indeed I contacted Pam who created this beauty & this is what she said:
I’ve had tiles spell out “TRUTH,” “LOVE,” and “HOPE” for example. I’ve also designed bracelets with the person’s name or initials on them. And they do not cost extra but it does take about one week for production. It takes about one day for the jewelry glue to set and about three days for the resin or acrylic coating to dry and set.

How cool is that? She also works with dominoes which is really different! I love that she takes things & completely transforms them too. I mean, look how beautiful the slate look on my tiles is! She also has different shades, glitters, etc. so all of her designs are different. I really love this personalized photo charm bracelet where she uses  actual photos of loved ones & of course this USA themed domino necklace would be perfect for some of the military events I attend! 

You can purchase this bracelet (if you don’t see it on the site it is just sold out so send her a request!), necklaces, & other items from Pam’s WiReD Boutique Etsy shop & her new website www.wiredboutique.indiemade.com  Along with these two sites, she has Facebook and Pinterest.
