Beauty-fuls: We heart getting nailed! (Part Deux) The summer brights edition!!!! And...Happy Birthday!!!

Ewwww...woke up this morning and checked out the ol polished paws and noticed...Ahhhh they are in great need of a revamp and a wee bit of moisturizer.

So I waltz in the nail place I heart and ran directly over to the wall of endless polish possiblities...

Hmmm, what to pick...what to pick? It's summer so it has to be fun and lively and look good with a (faux) tan...

Then I remembered....I have my fave go to color that makes me swooon everytime in my purse!

Every time we wear it, people ask what it is...so ladies (and a few cutie bean gents) our secrets of our fave summer polishes are about to be yours!

You're welcome!!

For some reason...our go to polish company is Essie. Not really sure why. We think it's simply because they have the best colors out there from natural to pop neon...

And this Essie color called Pink Parka is no exception! It's a bright shocking (but not too neon pink) We used it last time on our tooties and found every excuse not to wear closed toed shoes cuz we couldn't stop staring at our feet!

Now we know we named this post Summer Brights, cuz those colors look best in the 80 degree sunshiney days, but nothing says chic and classy like a gorge nude color on your fingers and toes.

OPI's Sand In My Suit is a TDF shade of nude...not to beige and not to pink...perfecto!

Here it is on a hand that is close to our skin color and we thinks we are about to pick this up at our fave beauty supply store ASAP!
PS Go to OPI today and you can "try" on any polish! Change the skin tone and nail length to see what looks best on you....fun!

Now for our newest obsession...the one that looks amazeballs on every skin tone and sassy on everyone...

Bright orange!!! It's far from 80's flourecent dayglo orange (although we heart that too) but just as shocking and bright!
This one from called Whack is like a tangerine on your tootsies. Soooo flattering and oh so summer chic!

OK...time for our secret color...the one we have to actually make an effort NOT to use every time we paint the paws...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Zoya Charisma! It looks exactly like this ridiculously stunning bright purpley pink stiletto by our boyfriend Christian Louboutin! Sooooooo beautiful!!!!!

We had to show you the shoe for 2 reasons...

1. We want it!!!

2. It really is the color of the polish...cuz if you look below at the color it looks like you would get the wrong idea...

See?!?! Not the same impact ;)
P.S. Zoya is an amazing polish company that was one of the first not to use those crazy harsh chemicals like formaldehyde (um hi...used to preserve dead people!)

Oh! Before we forget...another great polish company that has delish go to bright colors for the blazin days o' summer is China Glaze (horrible name but great colors...forgive them)

How fantastic, right?!???! Stolen from here...

Now...you know what else looks chic and drips sex (ooh!) ? Gold and a tan...yummers!!!!

Hahahah...OK maybe not THOSE gold nails but these Press On nails on steroids from Dashing Diva are f'n rad!!!!
Press on and voila! Perfect Goldfinger (literally) gold....throw on a tee and tons of rings and you are soooooo hot!!!

So there you have it...a few of our go to secret polishes...try one or all you will kiss us! Just not with tongue this time...we are both a bit under the weather!

xoxo things we heart....

AND LAST BUT NEVER...EVER....EVER...EVER...LEAST...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS ME!!!!

LOVE YOU!!!

Beauty-fuls: We heart holiday makeup looks!

With the Holiday Season in full effect it's time for our fav things.......PARTIES!!! We luuurve any great excuse to dress up and not look like tomboys for a second.

And what's better than a party?...A holiday party. And what makes a Holiday party even better? Fun makeup! Well fun makeup and champagne that is.

Finally festive makeup gets its due attention. Who doesn't love a good red lip or sparkly glittery eye?

No really? Who? Just tell us...seriously tell us? Hee hee.

OK, you don't have to say a word but trust us ladies of Things We Heart...they will after this post. And if they don't...um...well...nothing...

So let's jump on our sleigh of sparkle...our wagon of wonder...our hybrid of holiday makeup...our car of crismon...our...OK OK... we will stop.

Here we go..all aboard our boat of beauty...Sorry hee heeee.

The number 1 go to holiday makeup item are red lips.

Luscious deep, red lips. You could literally keep your whole face clean (well a bit o' blush and concealer can't hurt) and pop on some red and look done.

MACs Viva Glam is a universally flattering deep red color. It will truly look amazing on everyone!

And the best part? They donate 100% of the proceeds of each sale to the fight against HIV/AIDS. That's worth it right there.

But if you are looking for a brighter more true red that lasts thru your 4th glass of champers then look no further than Loreal's Endless Lipstick in Crimson Joy.

I think I shall pick up a tube of this ASAP considering my hankering for a champagne proof lip color.

Another amazing way to look full o' cheer? Sparkly eye makeup....yup liner and shadow.

Well, maybe not together but both are suuper sexy and crazy alluring.

One swipe of Nars' Silent Night gold glam shadow and you are good to go!

The gold flecks of glittering gold are g-g-gorgeous!

Our newest crush in shadows are the ones that are practically luminescent (or chrome-like if you apply with a slightly heavier hand)...not glittery or shimmery but glowy.

We suuuper heart these 3 colors from Bobby Brown.

Ppsst...try the pewter for a lightly smoldering eye...hotness!

PS Both these shadows are begging for red lips! Just use a light hand when applying.

We have been OBSESSED with glittery eyeliner since my bout with turquoise glitter incident at Miss Me's wedding.

We were made fun of but looking back it was sooo pretty! We now have about 10 different colors and as we went thru them for this post we found the 2 perfect ones for the holidays. You're welcome!

Sephora makes a great black and silver specked pencil liner that is super easy to use.

And now they created an entire kit for the perf glittering eye look!

Easy breezy beautiful...we love the silver liquid one that you can put on the tip of your lashes for a come hither look.

Last week at our bi-weekly jaunt into XXI, we came across a super great sparkling liquid liner in gold and silver.

It would look amazing lining a small part of your top OR bottom lid.

For a tutorial of how to get the most glam glitter eye go here...it's easy and fast and worth it.

Another tip for the perfect eye....don't forget the lashes! They will work wonders...we promise!

These amazing ones from Sonia K at Tar-Jay only look whorish...but once you put them on you won't believe your eyes...literally...you won't believe your EYES!

They will make your bfs and gfs swoon with lust and jealousy...Done and Devilishly Done!

Now, for an over all "glow" that looks more like your skin is made of pearl rather than shimmer, we are crazy in heartville with Too Faced Candlelight glowing powder.

It makes you look lit within and ethereal...we'll take it!

Why should your face have all of the fun glowy fun...Make your gorge bod glow glam style with this ridiculously cute and yummy smelling shimmer powder from Benefit.
Just put a little of the lilac silvery shimmer on with the pouf and poof! Sex-y to the 3rd power. Watch out Sasha Fierce!

And for the finishing touches that will leave you soooo sparkly...soooo glittery...sooo perfectly festive you will wish it was the Holidays all year round!

Oooh la la...we heart a good glitter polish...

Deborah Lippmann gives it to us good with her holiday vampy polish set. Soooo chic!
Loving that Ruby Red Slippers...sooo vampire chic! (Edward we miss you!!!!)

That black is pretty f'n fantasmic as well!

Nail salons love them a good China Glaze color...last week we did the silver sparkle (3 coats) and it's soooo cute!

I can't stop staring at my nails...but too bad for my BF...now they are too cute to do the dishes ;)

Thank God for dishwashers!

Why should your face, body and nails have all of the fun???

Your hair would die to be shimmery and festive too!

Mr. Fekkai brings us yet another glitter flecked product for your hairs pleasure.
His Gelee mist in Golden Shimmer will turn your limp locks into luminous gorge locks in no time flat!

Go party! Get glittery and glowy!!!

P.S. Even after your partying and champers...don't forget to take off all your gorge makeup! I keep a package of makeup wipes by my bed for just those nights ;)
