HC TREND ALERT: The Border/Outline Manicure

So here's a new nail trend for Spring/Summer 2012. I fell in love with this and I will def. be trying to rock this look! 

So basically its just a thin contrasting  color that  is painted right around the outside of your nail. This look isn't hard to achieve all you need is some steady hands and know some contrasting colors. Colors I would use are yellow / purple, black / white, black/ metallic, baby pink/ baby blue, orange/ pink, blue/yellow and much much more!

Mini MAC Haul

This post was suppose to be for yesterday but was pretty lazy! Well yesterday the weather was gorgeous and I was so bored so I decided to drag a friend of mine and head downtown to walk around . I did a little thrifting and bought a gorgeous skirt. then I saw MAC and I  told myself " I'm only going in there for some lippies (lipsticks) to update my lipstick collection . That totally didn't happen haha! I wanted to spend about maybe $30-$50 but those people at MAC sure do know how to talk to you in on buying something!!! lol So I bought a Prep +Prime finish powder , 3 lippies (Snob, Half N' Half, and their limited edition Sheen Supreme Lipstick in "Fashion City")and I also needed another bottle of Studio Fix foundation . Til next time ! xo  Pictures and details below :

 I'm currently using MAC prolongwear foundation because I ran out of studiofix so I had to pick that up . I'm in the shade NC 50 ( cost $27) I also picked up Prep +Prime Finishing powder ($23) because I usually set my makeup with the studio fix powder but I need the PP finishing Transparent powder because it reflect less when taking pictures with the flash on .

From left to right: Snob(which is a pretty pink great for spring and summer) I'll probably wear it with pink nouveau) then its Sheen Supreme lipstick  in "Fashion City'" similar to ravishing with their peachy coral color, except "Fashion city" is more cremey and smooth you don't really have to wear a lip pencil to make it last long. Lastly its "Half and Half"which is more of a nude color similar to Lady Gaga except its less ashy ! The regular lipsticks were $14.50 except for the Limited Edition Sheen Supreme that one was $16.50.

Trayvon Martin : NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!

On February 26, 2012 Trayvon Martin was killed by Neighborhood Watch leader in a small, gated Florida community. His death has rippled through many corners of the nation's justice and political system and raised questions about the relationship between the black community and police in small towns. Everytime I hear this story on the news I feel sick, angry, and disgusted! Its close to almost a month and his killer hasn't even been arrested. Crazy right?! If the roles were to be switched up it would have been a whole different story !

In the past 48 hours this case  Ignited protests, including a "Million Hoodie March" in New York City planned today, a protest Wednesday outside the Florida Division of Licensing, urging state officials to withdraw George Zimmerman's concealed weapons permit and a rally Thursday in Sanford led by civil rights activist Al Sharpton. Also thousands and thousands of people have signed a petiton for the arrest of trayvon killer, George Zimmerman. 

My heart goes out to Trayvon's family and I hope justice is served! No justice No peace!!
