Black on Black

Hi! Just wanted to take a brief moment to tell you all about my nail art obsession.

I'm sure you've all seen the matte/shiny black nail combo that made its rounds on Pinterest a while back, but I decided to give it a go. The original used OPI "Lincoln After Dark", matte black polish. I checked a gazillion stores for it and I couldnt find anythign remotely close to it. Fortunately Sephora carries a matte top coat by OPI. It makes every color completly matte which is perfect because I'd love to try this matte/shiny combo with a host of colors. Matte black with neon pink, perhaps?

Anyway. All this nail art is just a way to keep my mind off the waiting list for the Caviar Manicure nail-polish from Ciate!

Come sooner already!!!

I'm Thinking...Pink

 

Three Things:
1. Zat is a road-map of Paris behind me. I found it while digging around the house for my passport last week. I lost yet another aunt to the C-word--cancer, not Canada. She does...did live in Canada, however. *Sniff* Oddly enough, what cheered me up was finding my travel wallet which contained this map and a receipt from Laduree Paris. Sigh... les good times...

2. Warm welcome to the new beauty additions: Milani's Neon "Pink Rocks" nailpolish and Revlon's fuchsia lipstick.

3.Can I also throw in a plug for You Curl, my new favorite curling iron! Seriously, You Curl is BOSS! I never get these big curls from my traditional clasp curling irons.

Das hot, yeah?

Three Ways To Get Pink Hair

Why should Easter eggs have all the fun? There should be PASTEL for EVERYONE!

While I may have disregarded the pink trend last year, thinking pink hair went out of style along with bands like Simple Plan, the thought of wearing a dainty Easter frock with a candy pink french braid this spring is just too tempting to resist. And so…

Three Simply Ways to Go Pink:

1. Chalk it up!

Some People Should NOT Celebrate Black History

And the person who put this display out is one of them. 

I knew Black History Month was going sideways when Borders Bookstore decided to make a bookend display of insightful works such a book written by a video-hoe turned gold-digger and another by a newly out-of-the-closet Basketball player. 

If the death of Soul Train guy and my love Whitney Houston wasn't proof that we need to re-think this whole Black History Month thing, then my not knowing Soul Train guy's name should seal the deal. 

Just saying. 

Whitney Houston: The Girl Who Was On Fire

I'm having a "I need a moment" moment, buried in an igloo of covers listening to the Whitney Houston Vevo channel. Ehem...I'm getting verklemped and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I just wanted to take a moment to pay respect one of my all-time favorite singers. The soundtrack to The Bodyguard will forever remain one of the greatest movie soundtracks for me. That movie got me to view Kevin Costner as the sexiest man on the planet! I digress... Honestly, that girl was on fire. She was absolutely gorgeous with this powerfully hypnotic voice, and I'm so sad that we all had to watch her lose it all.

Anyway this is me saying R.I.P. to Whitney Houston. I hope she's "dancing with somebody" (preferably a good-looking angel) in a Bobby Brown-free heaven.
