I know it's been a really long time since my last post but these college applications have been kicking my butt! A few weeks ago, I took a trip to my local Victoria's Secret and bought a super cute water bottle. I loved the pretty pink flowers on the bottle just as much as I loved the pink and white polka dots on the bag they gave me! I realized that I could easily put the prints on my nails, so I decided to try it out. I hope you guys like it!<br />

<ul>
<li>Basecoat and Topcoat </li>
<li>Hot pink, light pink, and white polish</li>
<li>Green striper</li>
<li>2 Toothpicks</li>
<li>Bobby pin</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step One:</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGZ7xuX7eaX2QcEzfoOAuXqFcR_UZtZRr45zrifFNeuOG7V6bugWHl7_Jc4D-rCeUaj5AAB3Px_qCwg9lw2YQJFeH9VBQrTuLHK7QgqYeC4Zv3Rb-xJgr8kogJSg5M_RoAAbznxXAhY3c/s1600/DSCN0753.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGZ7xuX7eaX2QcEzfoOAuXqFcR_UZtZRr45zrifFNeuOG7V6bugWHl7_Jc4D-rCeUaj5AAB3Px_qCwg9lw2YQJFeH9VBQrTuLHK7QgqYeC4Zv3Rb-xJgr8kogJSg5M_RoAAbznxXAhY3c/s1600/DSCN0753.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
Apply basecoat to all of your nails. Then, apply two coats of your base color(s). I'm using white as a base for my pinky, thumb, and middle finger, and hot pink for my ring finger and index finger.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step Two:</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6jILsdWyJGkxrJki-3WQDDWr-yR8Yo0IOyGHUc-2KBPXDk0x5vI_u6Ad7Y7svA8Gir2bL42oaNoMeXi-Dj6qjtKSe3aOdCFHVGAXUOXnvv1IojWUKpuUpGp5rG2VBOh7-EFcWtprfbBM/s1600/DSCN0754.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6jILsdWyJGkxrJki-3WQDDWr-yR8Yo0IOyGHUc-2KBPXDk0x5vI_u6Ad7Y7svA8Gir2bL42oaNoMeXi-Dj6qjtKSe3aOdCFHVGAXUOXnvv1IojWUKpuUpGp5rG2VBOh7-EFcWtprfbBM/s1600/DSCN0754.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dip the end of the bobby pin into the white polish and use it to make polka dots on the hot pink nails.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step Three:</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXZjMSGM4YsaXPyy2Ux5oHMCDiks-0xTdOpnf8V33wFi1JtomuVYL2DetqcL4OQZfh6XE7YrH8E927E7Z2E6ozf-G_n1JiCTq5AEOwwCaEL3cUISYXyH66DsaR-rzx41vRX7Wk9rrWWI/s1600/DSCN0756.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXZjMSGM4YsaXPyy2Ux5oHMCDiks-0xTdOpnf8V33wFi1JtomuVYL2DetqcL4OQZfh6XE7YrH8E927E7Z2E6ozf-G_n1JiCTq5AEOwwCaEL3cUISYXyH66DsaR-rzx41vRX7Wk9rrWWI/s1600/DSCN0756.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Use the pink polishes to make little blobs on the white nails. They don't have to be perfect circles, because you want your flowers to look more realistic. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step Four:</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFFXVqjczTzU1Z1miy0V26JbN2QGIxFz9MrsZ1bYapvIu8sdjJy6Dh8SmsNwPhQ3urXvMUuwKGwZusY32WCSBwN8r6uITeLv_ul8rWNqSGOgYsMZEjqNIWcSRUxAY1I4Peap4W-LobD7Y/s1600/DSCN0757.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFFXVqjczTzU1Z1miy0V26JbN2QGIxFz9MrsZ1bYapvIu8sdjJy6Dh8SmsNwPhQ3urXvMUuwKGwZusY32WCSBwN8r6uITeLv_ul8rWNqSGOgYsMZEjqNIWcSRUxAY1I4Peap4W-LobD7Y/s1600/DSCN0757.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dip a toothpick into the opposite shade of pink polish than the one your flower is (i.e. use hot pink on light pink or vice versa), and use it to make little squiggly outlines inside of your blobs. This will form the petals, so they don't have to be perfectly neat. Use the other side of the toothpick when the point gets dull for more precision.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step Five:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_jk0XRo2Mhtsf7AiI9p-1CuoTZ1NCJHuNmDd0uzJHElNoIsYiiFGcBbyUfFJvAJuYzCWZnzPukd5ozzi8d7g38zGfq-_CREJeqvbALYVAqARV-0pg8_PenUh3T7QpLoMKymmdzKagD8/s1600/DSCN0760.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_jk0XRo2Mhtsf7AiI9p-1CuoTZ1NCJHuNmDd0uzJHElNoIsYiiFGcBbyUfFJvAJuYzCWZnzPukd5ozzi8d7g38zGfq-_CREJeqvbALYVAqARV-0pg8_PenUh3T7QpLoMKymmdzKagD8/s1600/DSCN0760.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Use the green striper to make little thick lines coming out of your flowers for the leaves. Then, apply a coat of topcoat to all of your nails to protect your work and add some shine.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheW_Ow4aZlD1y86ag1wiVxKqq6lsklvM0sp4gGNRl3d1QBDjn52RlrQPLfgXQhMomav-4da0k3QnPbSwS6It9voe3p_X8MhgKYp2NbR2x8yrhmC2Sxj0NOJIhBvy5dVV7YwZ9Ws0KnbgE/s1600/DSCN0761.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheW_Ow4aZlD1y86ag1wiVxKqq6lsklvM0sp4gGNRl3d1QBDjn52RlrQPLfgXQhMomav-4da0k3QnPbSwS6It9voe3p_X8MhgKYp2NbR2x8yrhmC2Sxj0NOJIhBvy5dVV7YwZ9Ws0KnbgE/s1600/DSCN0761.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>

And there you have it,<i> </i>pretty vintage flowers and polka dots! I love this design because it adds a touch of femininity to your look and it's super simple to do. Thanks for reading!<br />

</div>
<div>
Apply a coat of basecoat, followed by two coats of your base color. Allow the base color to dry.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step Two:</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
Paint a thin silver line at the tip of each nail. This will make the glitter at the tip look more concentrated.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step Three:</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsvVeNjONBkqDaHVI6iwAnD4OV9zmVHgUw28U4tRMsQspeZ5vkmAsIkAZiM5Er4y3yZ9ngeIBAbpU0cVSluYhpR-0GyUH6zZ80ZARCl2RnS7TG1hOT_moy2dmEPIU7zvW32B6fDhcgChU/s1600/DSCN0746.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsvVeNjONBkqDaHVI6iwAnD4OV9zmVHgUw28U4tRMsQspeZ5vkmAsIkAZiM5Er4y3yZ9ngeIBAbpU0cVSluYhpR-0GyUH6zZ80ZARCl2RnS7TG1hOT_moy2dmEPIU7zvW32B6fDhcgChU/s320/DSCN0746.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
Paint a thicker line of glitter at the tip of the nail. This should cover the silver line, and you can add more glitter if you want. Then, drag some of the glitter about halfway down the nail. Use more pressure near the tip so the glitter looks like it's dripping down the nail. Finish off with topcoat for a pretty shine.</div>

Dot the white polish randomly on your accent nail. Be sure to leave some space between each dot. I prefer to do this with the brush from the bottle, because leopard spots aren't naturally uniform.</div>

Use the striper to outline the white dots with C shapes. If you're like me, you'll actually have to try not to make the outlines too neat. The messier they are, the more realistic they look.</div>

<br />
Make random small black dots in the spaces between the white dots to make your print look more realistic. If you feel that there is too much empty space, you can add more spots by starting with the outline and applying the white over it. This will also contribute to the messy look. Then, apply a coat of topcoat to protect your design.</div>

Revlon's ColorBurst Lip Butters have been one of the big trends on the beauty blogs since they debuted at the end of last year.<br />

<u style="font-size: x-large;">Here are the Facts:</u><br />
Revlon describes the lip butters as " buttery balm with beautiful shiny color to give you baby soft, healthy glowing lips." Basically, the lip butters are supposed to be moisturizing like a tinted balm, but with as much color as a lipstick. They have a gel formula containing mango, shea, and coconut butter, and they come in 20 shades. The range of colors include different shades of pink and red, as well as a bright orange and some light and dark neutrals.<br />
You can buy the lip butters at most drugstores that sell makeup. They're available at Target, Walmart, CVS, Duane Reade, and other stores, as well as online. They usually are priced between $6 and $10. I bought mine from CVS for about $8.<br />
<br />
<u style="font-size: x-large;">Overall Review:</u><br />
I have four of the 20 shades, Pink Truffle, Berry Smoothie, Candy Apple, and Tutti Frutti. The lip butters definitely live up to their claim of being super moisturizing On the lips, they feel more like a balm than a lipstick. When I wear them, I usually don't even need to put on a balm underneath. The color payoff is pretty good too. Though they go on sheer, you can easily bump up the color to about a medium opacity with a few layers. They also last pretty long, I can usually go about two to three hours before I need to touch up. The only drawback I've had is that the soft formula makes them prone to slipping around the outside of my lips.<br />

This is without a doubt my favorite of the four colors I have. Pink Truffle is a glossy rose color that doesn't have any sparkles or glitter in it. I love this color because it my perfect My Lips But Better shade. It looks natural on me, but still adds a bit of extra color to my lips. If you just want to buy one lip butter to try out, this would definitely be the one to get, because it looks good on different skin tones.</div>

Berry Smoothie is a really pretty bright pink color. The color isn't too bright to wear during the day. On my lips, it looks like a sheer pink gloss, but it can get brighter and more opaque with a few coats. It has a little shimmer to it, but not too much. The sparkle is just enough to catch light and make your lips look a bit more plump. I personally like this color for days when I want my lips to look a little brighter, but still natural.</div>

Candy Apple is a bright red with a bit of an orange undertone. It doesn't have any glitter or sparkles to it; it's just sheer, glossy color. I have a love-hate relationship with this one. Though I love the bright, cherry-red color, I think it looks weird on my lips by itself. Building it up still doesn't give me the full red look that I like, but I would recommend wearing it over a liner or lipstick just to boost the color and add shine.</div>

This is a more opaque orange color, also without glitter or sparkles. When I picked this one up, I was in love with the bright color, but I was disappointed when I put it on my lips. This color looks horrible on me, but that has more to do with my coloring than the lip butter itself. Though I don't like this color on myself, I do think it's worth buying, as it might be more of the color for me over a brown liner.</div>
