Maybelline Polka Dot Nail Polish: Pretty in Polka

Guess whos nubs are back!? Thats right - My nails are re-gaining their strength and are in much better condition! 

For my nail re-introduction I am showing you one of Maybelline's new polishes from the Polka Dot collection. The Polka Dot collection contains 5 Jelly based polishes with black and white hex glitters. 

The one I am showing you today is Pretty in Polka. Pretty in Polka is a bright jelly rose shade with large and small hex and circular glitters.

All 5 polishes are very reminiscent of Indie polishes such as Connect the Dots by Lynnderella, minus the bar and square pieces. So if you are looking for indie dupes - these provide you with some variety and are really great for layering. They retail for around $4, so the price is right too.

In this photo I am wearing Pretty in Polka over America Apparel's Dynasty - a dusty purple shade.

MACs Temperature Rising Bronzer Sun Dipped

Even though MACs Temperature Rising Collection is somewhat old news, I still feel the need to rave about the MACs Prolongwear Bronzer in Sun Dipped. By the time I hit up my local MAC store - this was the only product left of the entire collection! Of course, I had to buy it.

First, lets talk packaging. The bronzer comes in a deep matte brown packaging with a rubbery consistency. It's a nice compact that looks sleek and when you open the product, it contains a mirror. 

Onto the bronzer itself. Compared to Nude on Board, Sun Dipped is a bit more neutral. Nude on Board has more yellow tones. This works perfectly on my skintone. I was a little worried it may look a little muddy but once it is blended onto my skin, it gives my face the most beautiful bronzed appearance. The texture is so velvety smooth. The powder is finely milled and soft to the touch. It contains minor shimmer which essentially disappears once applied to the skin - it has just enough to let your skin not appear completely matte.

Nars Mediteranee Eyeshadow Duo

Even though it has been super rainy and just down right terrible weather - I am still rocking the orange eyeshadow. Below is they Nars Mediteranee eyeshadow duo that I picked up at Sephora for around $34. I have had this for a while but when I swatched the orange shade in the store a year or so ago I knew I had to have it.

The Mediteranee duo comes with a golden pearlescent beige shade and a shimmery orange that steals the show. Seriously, this duo is absolutely gorgeous and it is almost 100% the orange shads fault. My only complaint with this due is that the beige shade could be more pigmented. I find myself really trying to pack it on to get good color pay off. 

Below is a more wearable look using Mediteranee.
