Millionaire Fortune

I wanted to do a striping look and this is what I came up with. I used Wet n Wild Fast Dry polishes in Blue Wants to be a Millionaire and Teal of Fortune. For the stripes I grabbed some gold striping and cut pieces to place on my nails.I think it looks cool.

This price does NOT include shipping charges. The deadline for ordering is May 18. It will take approximately 6-8 weeks to order, receive and re-bottle the product. To place your pre-order, please send an e-mail to moderncountrymom@gmail.com (Please use Polish Bulk Order in the subject line) with your name, quantity desired of each (what size, type etc.) and your PayPal e-mail address. Invoices will be sent out the day after the deadline.


She has made the decision to go forward as a supplier of glitter suspension base but this is the start. If interested, check out her post... http://www.polishous.com/p/wholesale-and-bulk.html


I am sooo excited to get this... I have bought so much stuff that really needs a suspension base. Once I get my order, I'm going to make a bunch of new polishes so keep your eye out for those.

Party Blobs

A little over a month ago I found these Essence Nail Color 3 polishes. They are double-ended polishes, usually with a creme shimmer and a glittery jelly. These are cool because they can create three different looks depending on how you apply them. The stamp looks like little blobs... almost Nickelodeon-esque. 

My new iPad messenger bag

I bought this super cute Nicole Lee messenger bag with cute belting details. I really tried to use it as a regular purse but I had to dig everything out of it to get to things. Sad thing is it barely had anything in it and it was full. So my iPad adopted it. At least it'll get some good use :)

Birchbox: How To: Hollywood Waves

This is not what I expected! So easy to do. I wonder how it would look on my shorter hair. I might have to try it out and share :)

Tangerine Love Bondage

It was time to switch up the polish. I recently got new polishes and used two of them. The gold color I used for my stamp came in my Birchbox yesterday. It is Color Club Disco Nap. The base color is from my Sephora + Pantone Universe set in Tangerine Tango Creme. It's kinda funny how both polishes refer to dances. Just a random thought.

Lumi Sunpepper

This was a very nice look with a lot of shimmer and sparkle. I love how the light reflects off of the light mint color. It was perfect for the sunny day.

DIY Lash Bar from TBD

This fun DIY project is to show you how many options you have with false lashes and the degrees of drama that come with each. You don’t have to buy accent or individual lashes when you can just make your own by cutting them however you wish.

TOOLS: Ardell Demi Wispies False Lashes, Small Scissors, and DUO Lash Glue (I prefer the clear/white shade so it dries clear)

HOMEMADE INDIVIDUALS: Cut them in between any groupings (some groupings have more hairs than others). I used three on my assistant Carissa but you can use as many/few as you like. Notice how with individuals you can flare them outwards more for a winged effect. **TIP: let the glue get “tacky” for 2 minutes so you can literally just stick them on the lashline and they won’t turn or slide.

HALF (ACCENT) STRIP: Cut the strip in half and use either end (I prefer the end that would have been on the inside corner even though you’ll place it on the outside corner). Trace the glue along the band, wait two minutes, place it directly on your lash line then squeeze the false lashes together with your own lashes using your index finger + thumb. Notice how the lashes “sit up” more when they are bound together as opposed to when they are by themselves.

FULL STRIP: Again, let the glue get tacky for two full minutes then place directly on lashline.  Notice how the lashes sit up even more and appear longer when they are all attached on a long strip. **TIP: if the strip is longer than your lashline, hold it next to it for sizing then trim off the excess length. I also went in and trimmed around a few of them to make a few “wispies” longer than the rest.

When I wear false lashes, I usually wear these styles. I buy them from Sally's and use Duo eyelash adhesive in clear. I apply all eye makeup minus mascara and apply the strips. Once they dry, I make sure to go over the seam with eyeliner to try to hide them. I usually use a gel liner but I'm sure most will work. The false lashes are usually used for when I go out since my lashes are pretty nice on their own... well I think they are.

Re-fresh Formidable!

So my mani using just Mac Formidable! didn't last one day without chipping. I didn't have a lot of time to mess with them so I put some french tip guides on and put CG Re-fresh Mint. Here is the finished look. It's pretty good for something quick.

She Who Dares to use My Dark Magic

I painted my nails with Mac Formidable! and decided to make it a Mac Venomous Villains day. I grabbed both of my mineral shadows plus a few others and came up with this look.
