Hey babes!
I was chatting with Jenn @ Jenn's Beauty Confessions about my spice rack full of nail polishes! She was intrigued so I dedicate this post to her!
I've never been a nail polish person.. for the longest time, I'm tawkin' 10 years, I have used the color SUGAR DADDY by ESSIE. That was the extent of "color" I'd put on my nails. I worked in the corporate world for a long time and having exotic nails or looks just wasnt in the proper attire for the company I worked for. I kept it simple and classic for far too long!
Since I started blogging, I realized alot about myself and one was to never be afraid to be me! I love how I can sit here and say that "I am not afraid to be me!" Thank you Blog World and Friends!
How can nail polish express who you are? IN EVERY SINGLE WAY! Are you kidding? I follow Chelsea @ Nail Polish Epicness and boy can she express herself! She does an AMAZING job at nail art and finding the best nail polish colors! I love reading her posts and checking out her photos, I cant and probably will never be as good as her, but I'll continue to follow and pray I gain some of her power! Haha!
So anywho, boy do I ramble...
I have started a "nail polish collection" and have gained a new appreciation for nail polish and wanted to show you my little bundles (of nail polish) I purchased!

When I purchased this spice rack I didn't even think that I just might outgrow it! Now I am ready for another one! Oy! It's only been like 2 weeks!! It's like my nail polishes are having babies!!
These are a few new polishes I've purchased within the past 2-3 weeks!

The Ulta Brand: Pinata-Yada-Yada is the color I used on my nails for my 25th Birthday. I used 3 coats of it to make it exactly how you see in the bottle pictured above! It lasted about 4 days before it started to chip. I got it for free with points from Ulta, so it's okay! It's a pretty color and I didnt mind touching it up!
XO!

| This was my makeup space for the day. |

| Self-explanitory :) |

| Production at it's best! |

| A Makeup Artist that worked next to me. |

| This photo was taken on day 2 after we closed down. My day was quite hectic, and I didn't have time to snap photos. The girl, first to the left, was the coordinator for the event. Following her was the rest of us who are Makeup Artists. |
Of course in the last photo I am the one with the head piece on! Haha Leave it to me to put something obnoxious on my head! I love accessories, so I'm okay with it! Plus, the weather both days was unbelievable! Raining and storming on and off, and super humid. I had to do something!
Hope you enjoyed!

Hey babes!
Just wanted to first say my GIVEAWAY ends in just a few days! Get on that bandwagon for a chance to win some pretty cool stuff!!
I know this post is long overdue! My 25th Birthday Celebration took place on September 3rd, as on August 27th Hurricane Irene decided to make an appearance and ruined all plans we had!
Here are some pics!!

My birthday was FANTASTIC! I had such an amazing time with friends and family I wish I could have my birthday every day!
As you can see I switched up my outfit. I originally planned to wear an Armani Exchange dress I purchased, although the day of I realized I needed to wear a tank top underneath because the top was too revealing and I didnt have an appropriate tank to put on (color and length wise) so I had to opt for something else as back up. My tubetop romper type outfit is from Guess. Super comfy and it's black so matched well with everything else! I also was going to have my hair done professionally, but due to the in-climate weather we'd been having I decided to do my own hair because I knew the weather would have ruined it! AS it did, because it was super cute and curly and because of the humidity, it ended up half straight, half medusa style! Yes, MEDUSA!
I also was going to paint my nails all cute and I never did! How lame! :( We had the reschedule the party last minute and move everything around, on top of a hectic week - I just painted them a confetti sparkly color. Nothing too special.
As you can see I got TWO cakes!!! I was soooooo happy!! One cake has my real name which you now know is Elaine. (ELAINE also plays a role in my makeup company name as Ella Lane is Elaine) ;) And the other has my nickname which is Laney. I always sign my signature as LC, because everyone does call me Laney and Couture is just a tag I've had for about 3 years now. Laney Couture is LC. :)
I miss you all, and being away for 5 days made me sad! I was working this week with Mary Kay, Seventeen Magazine, and Cosmopolitan Magazine, as some of you may know! It was for Mary Kay's Fall Into Your Beauty Tour. I was chosen as a Makeup Artist for two events they were hosting at two universities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania! I had such an amazing time doing makeup and meeting new people! I'll have some pics for you on my next post! The staff @ Mary Kay, Seventeen, and Cosmo were such a delight! I definitely look forward to working with them in the future!
How are you all doing?! Cant wait to catch up on your posts and see how everything is going!!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes too!!!
XO!
