On Wednesdays We Wear Pink | Gel Manicure


We had to get our nails done in pink with a gold accent for the wedding this past weekend. I went to a nail salon and got the gel nail polish mani. This was my first time getting this gel manicure. It was an interesting experience. 

The Process:
1) They apply a primer, then place nails in the UV light dryer
2) Apply one coat of color, then place nails in UV light dryer
3) Repeat step 2, two more times for a total of 3 coats
4) A top coat is applied, then placed in UV light dryer again.
5) Your nails are done, dry, and ready to go!
No messes, no fusses!

Bridesmaid Hair and Makeup

This past weekend I was in Puerto Rico baby! I was there for a wedding. I had the honor of being one of the bridesmaids for her big day. 

Since it was a sunset wedding on the beach, we had darker eye makeup with a palish lip. The makeup artist used Nars Sheer Glow foundation in Fiji, Nars Stick Concealer, Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer, and Benefit Rockateur blush. They also applied a lot of highlighter. For the mascara, there was one coat of the Marc Jacob mascara, and then false lashes were applied. Eye's and lips had a mixture of things so I am not sure what was used. 




 From above, you can see my hair was in ringlet curls. After they were released, it was all placed in the back. A braid was done on the right side of my hair as seen below.


Here is the final look with the dress!

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink | Revlon Pink Pout


Today is the third installment of On Wednesdays We Wear Pink. I have on Revlon Pink Pout, which is  a cool, light pink lipstick with a matte formula. It feels a little dry on the lips and does emphasize dry patches and lines; however this can be avoided if you exfoliate your lips beforehand. 
I did not apply too much of it because the color can wash me out and not look good, so I just dab it on.

I have read that Revlon Pink Pout is a dupe for MAC Snob. I have not tested them out per se, but have seen the similarities online. So if you want a budget friendly cult favorite, go for Revlon Pink Pout!
