Mani/Pedi results!

Hi, everyone. I went to get a mani/pedi this morning and I am so happy about the results. I went to a small salon that I would've never gone to to get my nails done, but my mom had gotten a mani there once and it lasted for two weeks, so they do a great job. I don't normally like people touching my feet or hands, but this was really relaxing. It did tickle a little when she massaged my feet, but nothing really bothered me. I don't normally wear nail polish because it's a lot of work to me, but this makes me want to wear nail polish all the time, so I may start wearing it more often. I have also heard that it helps nails get stronger and my nails are kind of brittle.
 Here's my toenails. Sorry about the crappy picture. The color I used was OPI DS Opulence. It's a pretty light purple that's shimmery, but not glittery. It does look flesh toned at first, but then you can see the color. I'm a fan of it.
 Here are my fingernails. The colors used are both from China Glaze. The color BFF is a purple color but it's iridescent, so it has blue and orange in it. I think it looks really good as a french manicure. It's a little twist on something old.

Thanks for reading. I just wanted to share this with you!

Product Review: Urban Decay Complexion Primer Potion

This is another Urban Decay product. I asked for this for Christmas, so I didn't buy this with my own money. This is the Brightening one. I had heard rave reviews about it and wanted to try it for myself.
 The package is a light purple and the cap is a dark purple. It's a squeeze out product, which makes application so much easier.
 This is what it looks like. It's white and kind of looks like a certain bodily fluid I won't say, but you know what I'm talking about. It's creamy and applies really well. It also soothes my skin. It's $30.00 for a full-size tube of this and I've yet to find a drugstore brand face primer, but I'll keep looking. There's 30 ml or 1.0 fl oz of product in it and I only use a small squirt, so it'll last for a while.

Product Review: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

This is a review of Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer. My parents got my brother's girlfriend a makeup kit from Urban Decay for Christmas and it included a sample size of the Eyeshadow Primer Potion, so she gave it to me because she had a full-size tube of it. She's a nice girl. I had always wanted to try it, but never had enough money to buy it.
 So this is what the package looks like. It's a metallic purple with a silver plastic lid. It says Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion on the package. You get 0.13 fl oz or 3.7 ml in a sample size. I only use one squirt for both eyelids, so it'll go a long way.
 When you take the cap off, there's a small tube at the end that allows you to get the product out. I have to shake it a few times to get the product to the top of the package.
 This is what it looks like when you squeeze it out. It is a very nude color, but it's clear when it goes on, so there's no problems with it when I put on my eyeshadow. I do like this product and it works. My eyeshadow isn't faded at the end of the day. This product is not cheap. It's $20.00 for a full-sized tube of it, so instead of getting a full-sized tube of this, I got a tube of E.L.F. eyeshadow primer and will be reviewing it in a new post.

Update

I have not been able to do any product reviews because my grandmother is currently in the hospital and is not doing well. Please bear with me and keep reading my blog. This is a difficult time, but I will be doing product reviews soon. Thanks.
