Halloween Happy Pumpkin Manicure

My youngest kid wanted a Halloween manicure. The request was for a gray background and orange happy pumpkins.

Products used:
Essence Colour & Go – Grey-t To Be Here
Sally Hansen – Lightening
B.M.C. – Teepee Tipping
Bundle Monster – BM-H06

I started off by choosing a pumpkin image that would fit my kid’s nail. I found a cute pumpkin on plate BM-H06. I made decals of the pumpkin using Teepee Tipping to get the orange and for the yellow color to mouth and eyes, Lightening.  beauty-tips-for-women-716

Once I had a set of decals made, I got the nails ready with base coat and one coat of Gey-t To Be Here. Waited for the polish to dry and then applied the pumpkin decals and sealed with Seche Vite.

So there you have it, Halloween happy pumpkin manicure makes for one happy kid.

Review of Controlled Chaos Curl Crème

I won a contest being hosted by Controlled Chaos for their Curl Crème.  Curl Crème “enhances, conditions and defines all types of curls. Eliminates frizz and locks out humidity. Gluten, sulfate and paraben free and BPA UV protection”.  This crème sounds amazing, so I could not wait to use it.

I checked out their “Style” section on their webpage, Controlled Chaos.  I found the videos on this page useful in showing how to use their product in different ways and on different types of curly hair.

I washed my hair with Acure Repairing Shampoo and Conditioner.  I made sure that I completely rinsed out my hair.  I applied a small amount of the Curl Crème to help detangle my soaking wet hair.  I sectioned my hair so that I could get full coverage of Curl Crème throughout.  I applied very little to my roots and concentrated on my length like their website suggests.  I let my hair air dry.  I had no crunchy or stickiness.  When my hair felt dry, I scrunched it out.   My hair did not have that weighed down feeling.  I was impressed by the curl definition and how bouncy they looked.  beauty-tips-for-women-704beauty-tips-for-women-706

My hair did not frizz out as I ran errand throughout the day; and I live in a high humidity state.

Controlled Chaos is a must have.  It certainly lived up to its claims.  beauty-tips-for-women-707

Dollar Tree Find: OPI Comet In The Sky

Dollar Tree is carrying OPI polish. At my store I picked up OPI Comet In The Sky from the Gwen Stefani Holiday 2014 Collection. Comet In The Sky is a clear base with different size black and iridescent glitter.

I decided to start off with a base of Illyrian Why Are You Still Bleeding? This is a deep red jelly/crème polish. I applied two coats.

I applied two coats Comet In The Sky using a sponge. The iridescent glitter picks up the light in strange ways.
