NOTD: Sally Hansen's "Snappy Sorbet"

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that coral is a necessity for the spring/summer of 2011.  Although I'm still not brave enough to rock the neon coral lips, I am definitely willing to try this trend out on my nails!
The colour payoff is extremely good, this is a mere 2 coats with just a quick swipe of my OPI top coat on top, and I'd say it looks pretty good. The "Insta-Dry" claim really sticks truth to its name, by the time all my nails were coated, the first 5 were already 100% dry!
Today: coral nails. Tomorrow: perhaps coral lips? Baby steps Jayne, baby steps...

Two coats, natural light.


My latest wish list...

1) Sleeveless Lace Chiffon Dress, American Apparel

How pretty is this!? It looks completely comfortable, and gives you the most effortless and pretty look. With a skinny black belt like how it's paired with in the photo, some delicate gold jewelry, and some brown gladiator sandals, it's a summer must for me!

2) MAC Crème Cup Lipstick

So many girls consider this a staple nude in their makeup collection, which guarantees it's a classic shade that matches and works with a variety of skin tones. I'm pretty fair and I'd love to have a wearable nude colour for school especially, so next time I'm at MAC, I'm not sure if I'll be able to resist....

3) MAC Boy Bait Crème Sheen Glass

Most lovely pinky nude colour, and the Crème Sheen formulation is my absolute favourite from MAC. Would be perfect over Crème Cup, would be perfect on it's own, is there anything else that needs to be said?

4) Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder

I'm sure this is not a foreign bronzer to any of you, it seems that pretty much everyone has used it or tried it or is (like me) sitting, waiting, and wishing they owned it  For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, it gives you the most beautiful matte bronzed look. I've tried it against multiple bronzers, including the famous NARS Laguna, but this still reigns supreme. I love the look of a matte face, since I have slightly oily skin a shimmery bronzed face sometimes doesn't look so hot. My friend left hers at my house last week, and it was a depressing day when I had to give it back.

So there we go, if only my wallet was as understanding as my need for makeup and clothing is. What's on your wish list? :) xx
