Hello again Lovelies! I know it's late at night, but I promised a second post today, so here I am!

Tonight I have another polish from Love, Angeline's upcoming Smoke & Mirrors Collection. This pretty is one of my very faves from this collection.

Lovely Assistant is a soft white crelly loaded with soft aqua, lavender, and matte gray glitters. This girl is absolutely gorgeous! Since there are swatches of this polish over white already, I decided to show Lovely Assistant on her own.

This is 3 coats of Lovely Assistant with top coat:

I have to admit it - I really dig this! I adore pastel glitter in white, and this is quite possibly my new fave white crelly/glitter combo. I love how bright the glitters are, despite being pastels, and the color combo is perfection.

Lovely Assistant's formula is fabulous! No thickening, gopping, glopping, or clumps of glitter, which is impressive since this baby is absolutely loaded with glitter. Application was excellent with no dragging or balding, and the glitters dispersed evenly. Lovely Assistant is fairly sheer, so you will need all 3 coats for opacity, or you can layer over white. Dry time was quick for 3 coats and wear is fabulous with no visible signs of wear at just under 24 hours.  This girl does dry fairly textured, so I recommend a coat of Glitter Food if you choose to wear this alone. I'm wearing only top coat here and it's still a bit textured (but then again, I don't mind some texture to my nails!). No glitter food needed if you wear this layered though.

Yup, Lovely Assistant is another Epic Win for Natosha! I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of this collection! Whites and Grays and glitters? What a great idea for a collection! I swear, every time I wear a Love, Angeline polish I fall a little more in love.

If you haven't checked out Love, Angeline polish, you are missing out! Head on over to Love, Angeline Polish on Big Cartel. The Smoke & Mirrors Collection is currently only available through pre-order through tomorrow, with full release on 8/21. Each polish sells for $8, with the full collection available for $21.00.  Be sure to follow Love, Angeline on Facebook and Instagram for release info and swatches!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Birthstones: Aquamarine

Sorry for the lack of posts here this past week. It was supposed to be my last job at my trainee job and I was kind of depressed because I really enjoy working there and I didn't want to quit. Then, the last day, I managed to convince the employment agency to let me work for another month. :)

As you will also see I have begun to grow my eyebrows back, but there will be a separate post on this subject soon.

Well, anyway, here is a look that breathes of spring, inspired by March's own birthstone; the aquamarine.

Intending to create something aquatic I played around a bit with Lumi by Sugarpill, and this was the result. I really like how colors like these bring out a teal color in my eyes.

It is very hard to capture the sheer and delicate Lumi in a way that will do it justice. Over NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk it will take the form of a light turquoise and over Black bean as a deeper teal shimmer. I tried to experiment with blur in my pics to get the shimmer to show up but it didn't want to.

For both blush and lips I decided to use cool toned colors. I also painted on a beauty mark and dabbed some Lumi over it to give the look kind of a vintage mermaid feel to it. :) What do you think?

Furthermore, I have been "upgraded" at work. It has been discovered that I have somewhat of a talent for selling stuff (read: makeup) so I got to sell one of the more exclusive brands, which is great. :) It's really fun to sell luxury makeup and skin care!

Anyways, I have some posts planned for this week so I hope I will be able to keep you entertained! I am also planning to do a requested look (Tarja Turunen at Hartwall arena) that will probably be posted next weekend. 

Thank you so much for reading and hope to see you soon!
