31 Day Challenge - Day 1 Red!

Today I will be starting a series that may be familiar to those of you who follow the nail polish community, the 31 day nail challenge! I have always been a fan of seeing other bloggers post their nails everyday so I am extra excited to finally take part in the challenge myself.


The inspiration for today's post is red. I chose to try out a technique that I have never done before, the jelly sandwich. For those of you who have no idea what on earth a jelly sandwich has to do with nail polish, it is simply a term used to describe the process of placing a layer of glitter polish between two layers of a sheer "jelly" polish.

Tutorial - Jigglypuff Nails!

Hey there lovelies, today is a new day and I have an exciting new post for you all. While trying to think of an inspiration for this post, I thought back to one of my favorite manicures I have ever done - Pokeballs (shhh, don't tell but there might be a revamp of these very, very soon)! With Pokemon in mind, I decided to try out my very first tutorial dedicated to the cutest pink Pokemon of them all, Jigglypuff!

Red lips with a gradient twist!

As my very first actual content post, I present to you a look that I have seen several times but never tried out myself - gradient lips! This look turned out to be super simple to create and got me lots of compliments on a night out. 

Here's a list of the products I used for my lips:
   • Homemade Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub Treatment
   • L'Oreal Infallible Lipstick in Target Red
   • Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Blackout

And here's a list of the products I used for the rest of my face:
   • Tarte Clean Slate Poreless Primer
   • Revlon Colorstay for Combo/Oily Skin in 110 Ivory
   • Sonia Kashuk Blush in 14 Pink
   • NYC Bronzer in Sunny
   • Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
   • Urban Decay Primer Potion
   • L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Sultry Smoke
   • Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner in Perversion
   • Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara

The particular red that I used is only sold at Target stores I believe, but your favorite red lipstick will work just fine.

Hello lovelies!

This blog has been an idea of mine for quite a long time now, but I have finally decided to stop putting it aside and make it a reality. I will be posting all sorts of random mutterings about things related to beauty, be it hair, nail polish, makeup, or what say you.

So I'll just do a short little introduction to start things off. My name is Teddi and I am a nineteen year old cosmetology student. I love everything related to making yourself look your best, so why not go to school to do what I love for a living? My collection of nail polish is ridiculous, but still nothing compared to the massive amounts of makeup that I own and play around with. I currently live in Phoenix, Arizona and I absolutely adore the desert. I also adore dogs and cats and other furry creatures.

And that's about that. Stay tuned for more content and feel free to comment on what sort of posts you would like to see in the future.
