Nail Art

About a week ago I was browsing random youtube videos and I came across a video of a guru letting her subscribers know that there was a sale going on for Konad. She stressed that this was the best discount she had seen on the product. So I decided to check out the website to find out more about the product (I love a good sale).
The website had all these gorgeous pictures of nail art, but I still was a little lost about what Konad was, or how it worked. I decided to search youtube for more about Konad.

Here is what Konad is:
Konad is a nail art stamping system. With the use of special nail polishes and image plates, you can create your own custom nail designs. While I am not perfect with this system yet, I would say that it's super easy and a lot of fun. I will be posting a step by step tutorial using Konad soon.

Here are some of the designs I have done...

Cherry Culture Haul

So I was watching a collection video on Youtube, and a guru was showing off some interesting NYX palettes. My Ulta doesn't have a big NYX section, so I checked my other source for all things NYX: Cherryculture.com. That's when I saw they were having a 20% sale! (its no longer going on unfortunately)

So here is what I got:





  • NYX The Runway Collection 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Catwalk (Browns) $9
  • NYX The Runway Collection 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Versus (Purples) $9
  • NYX For Your Eyes Only 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Smokey Eyes $9
  • NYX Girls Round Lip Gloss in Peach $2
  • NYX Girls Round Lip Gloss in Ballerina Pink $2
  • NYX Girls Round Lip Gloss in Very Clear $2
  • NYX Fabulous Eyelashes in 102 $4
  • NYX Single Eyeshadow in Laniki $3.50
  • NYX Long Pencil in Natural $2
  • NYX Long Pencil in Plush Red $0 (Buy one, get one FREE!)
  • NYX Round Lipstick in Hebe $2
  • NYX Round Lipstick in Tea Rose $2
  • NYX Round Lipstick in Louisiana $2
  • NYX Round Lipstick in Strawberry Milk $2
  • NYX Nail Polish in Dream $3.50
I put prices next to each item in case you are interested. NYX has a great selection, and its all at affordable prices. I will be doing reviews as I get to play with the items.
My subtotal was $54, and I saved $10.80 with the 20% off. So all of this came to $43.20!!!
