I have been wearing a lot of dark colors lately because those are the colors I usually gravitate to but I do like to mix it up so I am glad I picked up this Cover Girl Smokey Taupe (#215). I used two coats to get the opaque look you see. It went on really…
This week’s manicure was inspired by Jen at PolishAholic although it really looks nothing like hers at this point.

Addition-Elle be having a Twitter launch party to celebrate their new line by “iconic plus size supermodel Ashley Graham”. I have been stalking her for a few years now (as many of you painfully know) so it is nice to see her getting so much attention from famous brands, also not surprising because the woman…
