Manicure Monday!!

Hey There Beauty Lovers,

Welcome back to Manicure Mondays. This week is a very simple manicure. I was on the look out for the perfect red to rock this fall and I came across this Sinful Colors: Hot Hot Heat in my local drugstore. Let me tell you... I am OBSESSED!!

The color is absolutely perfect. It's not to bright and flashy but rather a nice deep red with a great shine :) It went on smooth and opaque. I used two coats but you could definitely get away with one. 

The best part.... It was only $1.99 :)

To finish I added a Revlon: No Chip Top Coat to keep that beautiful shine.

All Done :)

Told you it was a simple manicure, but it looks amazing

Check back next week for another Manicure Monday

OOTD: Country Fair/Concert!!

Hey There Beauty Lovers,

      A little something that you might not know about me is that I am a huge Country Music fan and one of my favorite bands is Love and Theft. I have loved them since they were a trio and I still love them now that they are a duo. 

    Last night I got to go to a small concert at a local fair and I thought I would share with you guys what I wore when I met Stephen Barker Liles :) Now I met them a few years ago when they were a trio and I was even more excited to get the chance to meet them again last night... But the security guy wouldn't let me be the last person to get to take pictures with them at the meet and greet. I was really disappointed but decided to go snap some picture of my outfits for you guys.

While I was taking these pictures I realized that I was right behind where they were having the meet and greet. I mentioned to another girl, who was told she couldn't join the line, that they were right there and she decided to yell out "Hey Stephen" :) To my astonishment, he came running over and was talking to us. I didn't get the chance to take a picture with him but talking to him was awesome.

I was touching the stage at the concert and when he saw us again he was singing to us directly and making faces and being awesome. It was really an amazing experience.

Well... anyway. On to the outfit I wore :)

I paired my dark wash American Eagle Jeggings with a flowy tan hammy-down top. I put a simple off-white cardigan from the gap over it and wore my hair straight.

Now of course for a country concert I couldn't possibly leave the house without my boots so I paired the whole look with a pair of tan suede boots from Wet Seal :)

Here's a closer look

For makeup I wore a brown smokey eye with a dramatic winged eyeliner :)

Here's an idea of how close to the stage we were :) This picture is not zoomed in at all!!

And last but not least my boyfriend was jealous that I wasn't putting up an pictures of him. So... meet Eric :) This is us waiting for the concert to start. Isn't he cute?

Check back tomorrow for Manicure Mondays :)

Hope you all had a good weekend too!!

OOTD :)

Hey There Beauty Lovers,

So I bought these amazing lace up boots at Forever 21 and I've been dying to wear them to school and I thought why not do my first outfit of the day wearing them.

So here it is! Enjoy!!

I'm wearing a sheer flowy black button up that I got from Joyce Leslie. I paired this with a pair of pale green skinny jeans that I got from Rue 21 on sale!!

For accessories I wore faux pearl earrings from K-Mart and an anchor necklace I got from a little boutique in Perkins Cove Maine.

But my favorite accessory of all was... MY SHOES!! So gorgeous and only $35 from Forever 21

To finish the look off I wore a gold and brown makeup look that is my go-to look for wanting to look a little more glamorous but still day time appropriate. 

And that's pretty much it :) Hope you guys enjoyed this let me know what you want to see next.

Welcome to Manicure Mondays!!!

OMBRE NAILS

Hey everyone and welcome to Manicure Mondays :)!!! I thought I would start off this series with a fun nail art. I decided to do Blue Ombre nails. Hope you enjoy!!

The three nail polishes that I used for this look were; Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Cobalt Blue, Sinful Colors in Savage, and L.A. Colors in #572. The Cobalt Blue is gorgeous. It's such a nice deep blue color with a shimmery finish, but not glittery like some nail polishes. I only needed one coat of this for my base. The polish goes on super smooth and truly does dry instantly. i would definitely recommend this nail polish.

After the base was dry, which only took about a minute, I used the Sinful Colors in Savage to start my ombre design. To get this look I put a few drops of the polish on a paper plate and used a sponge to lightly dab the color on the tips of my nails. This polish took a few dabs to show up on top of the Cobalt blue. Savage is a light flat teal color.

Because Savage is a flat teal color, I did not like the way it looked against the shimmery Cobalt Blue. I decided to take L.A. Colors #572 and place it on top of the Savage color to create more of a shimmer. I used the same sponge method as I did before. #572 is a light shimmery teal color and looks absolutely amazing against the Cobalt Blue.

I finished off with a Revlon No Chip Top Coat to keep the shine and called it a day :) Al of these colors can be purchased at a drugstore such as Walgreens or CVS. Comment below if you liked this post and tell me what you'd like to see next :)!!

First Blog!!!

Welcome Everyone!!

     I am so excited that I finally made my own blog and that I am getting started with all this... social networking. I went from my simple life of Facebook, to a social network explosion practically over night.

I am extremely excited to introduce my blog: BeautyByDestini. Some of the things that I will be posting about on here include fashion, nails, makeup reviews, everyday life things, and other hobbies that I enjoy.

I am also trying to get my youtube channel up and running but I still need to figure out how I want to film and edit... so bear with me please :) I am hoping that this blog will be a little bit easier to keep up with because I wont have to actually sit down and film. I am a full time college student and I work part-time as well so I am extremely busy... but still hoping to squeeze in some time for youtube and blogging.

So excited to start meeting all of you :)
