Top 10 Nail Polishes

In no order except for my number 1

1. OPI Bogota Blackberry- this is my go-to color in the fall and winter. its a beautiful berry-red with gold shimmer. its discontinued and i finally found a dupe for it as Sally Hansen's Wine Not.

2. OPI Do You Lilac It?- lilac creme. gorgeous

3. OPI Pink Flamenco- go-to hot pink creme

4. OPI Lincoln Park After Dark- very very dark purple, looks black in the bottle. for my dark days.

5. China Glaze Frostbite- very intense blue, almost royal blue but a bit lighter. it has what i detect as a purple duochrome and some shimmer. brilliant.

6. China Glaze Grape Pop- darker than mid toned purple creme. its a blue purple that has much more depth as a color when worn.

7. China Glaze For Audrey- tiffany blue. nuff said.

8. China Glaze Ruby Pumps- stunning red glitter. think dorothy's shoes.

9. Sally Hansen Pacific Blue- an extremely vivid cornflower blue that really unique. true color needs to be seen in person.

10. Orly Snowcone- think of the last color but lighter, pastel, and has a little bit of grey in it.

Bonus: Fav base and top coat- seche vite top coat and ridge filling base coat.

RENT-in my head

every year my school does a spring musical. i love it. its important as a director to cast a show for the people that you have and i think that RENT would be an absolutely perfect musical for us this upcoming year! our administration, however, would never let us do it, even the kids version, because of the language, gay romance, and aids but a girl can dream. cast list as follows:

Mark: Brett
Roger: Conrad
Mimi: Carly
Maureen: Lucy(me)
Joanne: Kendall http://salvationandaddiction.blogspot.com/
Angel: Powell
Collins: B.J.
Benny: Jason

P.S. if u hadn't noticed, the name of my blog comes from a song(Finale B) in RENT.

A Very Potter Musical

at the university of michigan. genious has been uncovered in the form of a harry potter spoof musical. the entire thing and its sequel which is actually a prequel is on youtube. its is literally the funniest musical i have ever seen and ive seen avenue q. thats saying something.

please please please watch it unless you're a harry potter virgin then go read the books or see the movies then go watch the videos. they are sooooooo funnyyyyyy omg!!!!!!!!

cool? warm? skin? what? :/

if any of you have been to a MAC counter or store looking for foundation, one of the artists probably asked you if you were warm or cool toned. and u were just like uhhhh i dont know....

well im here to help :)

without any makeup on, look at your skin. your skin has either yellow or pink tones in it or u could be one of the few lucky enough to have completely neutral skin. for some its easy to tell. i am extremely pale and i blush easily so i have pink tones. my friend maria who is tan has yellow tones. if its still hard to tell, look at your veins. blue veins= pink tones. green veins= yellow tones.

now the definition between whether u are cool or warm in the MAC dictionary is a bit confusing. If your skin looks more Yellow/Olive, you are Neutral Cool or “NC”. If your skin looks more Pink, you are Neutral Warm or “NW”. It seems kinda backwards cus usually we think of pinkish skin tones as cool and yellowish skin tones as warm. The reason for this is that MAC uses the makeup artists color wheel which is pretty much the opposite of what we usually think of as cool vs. warm. An easy way to look at it is like this: Think of each MAC foundation shade as being named with either the cool or warm shade that would neutralize and balance out your skin tone. 

a more thorough explanation and the place where i paraphrased the paragraph above can be found here. and there are probably countless videos on youtube for those who want further explanation.

  

new phone!

hey everyone! i got a new phone today! i got the samsung infinity 2 in blue. it looks like the intensity if yall want a reference. i tried going online to find a pic for u guys but they dont even have the phone on the website. weird.

it has a slide out QWERTY keyboard and you dont have to get the data plan to get the phone which was why it was so cheap. every other phone i wanted, u had to pay the $30 for the data plan which wasnt in the budget.

i got it because it was a really good deal at best buy. we only paid $1.00 for it!!

right now its kinda hard to type on it and im not sure if its because the keyboard sucks or just cus im not used to it yet. im hoping its the second one cus im going to have this phone for the next 2 years. so my typing right now is a little slow but i think ill get up to speed in no time.
