Hi everyone so today I decided I should probably post something it's been way to long overdue. One of my new years resolution is too post more often but as you can see I haven't been doing a very good job. Anywho today I decided to show you my essie nail polish collection (so far!) Essie has become my all time favorite nail polish, I love that not only it is amazing polish but that it's sold practically everywhere! Alright so lets get right too it here is my essie collection!

As you can see I have 8 polishes in total 7 colors and 1 glitter top coat. 

Here are my polishes from left to right:

1. luxeffect in 'set in stones': This polish is a gorgeous silver sparkle top coat, it is a mixture of tiny and chunky glitter.

2. fiji: This ballet pink is very girly and is wonderful for spring and summer.

3. eternal optimist: This is a very interesting color it is a combination of pink and beige but is a gorgeous neutral.

4. russian roulette: This is your classic 'candy apple' red color that is a must for any nail polish lover.

6. bordeux: This is probably my favorite color out of my collection it's the perfect burgundy and is a wonderful fall/winter color. 

7. stylenomics: This color is so unique, it is a very dark green that looks black in some lights but its very stylish and sophisticated.

Organization: Makeup!

Welcome and hello to 2014! This is my first post of the new year! Alright everyone so today I got myself a new makeup organizer and I just HAD to make an organization post on it today. It is honestly the most amazing thing I've found for keeping my most used makeup organized and still looks good. The product I bought was the GODMORGON box with compartments from IKEA. This little baby is the HOLY GRAIL. Take a look at it in my photo below.

The PERFECT makeup organizer. 

Alright so now after you've ooled at my gorgeous makeup display I'll lay it out for you what is in each compartment. 

At the top left hand corner I have all my lip sticks organized and a couple lip glosses. Next to that I have my powder, foundation, primer, lip scrub and two of my beloved baby lips lip balms. Next to that I have my bronzer, blush, eyeliner sharpener and some sample sizes of Victoria Secret's perfume. Now the next part is so cool. There is a top part with five slots that come off and then a big empty space. In the empty space I have my eyeshadows: Naked 2 pallet, my Vice 2 pallet, Mac pallet, Chanel pallet, and a single rose gold lancôme eyeshadow pod. Okay so now on the pull off part I have in the first slot my concealer and my urban decay eyeshadow primer. Next to that I have two maybelline mascaras. Then I have all my eyeliners and an eyelash primer. Then in the next slot I have all 5 of my NYX matte lip creams. And last but not least I have 9 Stila lip glazes. 

That's all folks my entire GODMORGAN makeup organizer. Seriously if you don't have this already you need to get it.

Trend: Mid Rings

Hey hey! I know it's been about a week or so since I've last posted, but I've been just so busy. But have no fear a new post is here! Today I decided I would show off one of my favorite jewellery trends of the season. That is mid rings! I'm absolutely in love with these adorable dainty rings.

Look how cool they are! The 3 thin gold ones (on my pinky & middle finger) come in a pack of 12 in two sizes (small & large) and they were $10.00 and the two other rings came in two-packs for $8.00 a pair. I've had so many complements on these gorgeous rings I highly recommend going out and buying some. They are my favorite trend this year!

Tips & Tricks: No More Mess Nail Polish Storage

Hey everyone. So I wasn't going to do a post today, but I ended up going shopping today and picked up a clear organizer for my nail polishes and all my nail stuff.

This is the organizer I picked up, it's a a clear two drawer + top part compartment organizer. I thought it would be perfect for storing all my nail colors and boy was I right! You can find these organizers at Target, Walmart, the container store, ect. I purchased mine fore only $6.50 and it's the perfect organizer, it fits all my nail art tools, filers and such on the top part and in the two other drawers I have all my nail polishes. If you have a lot of nail polish I would definitely suggest going out and buying a storage organizer like this one. They come in all colors, shapes and sizes. I hope this little tip was helpful. 

➤Check out my Twitter @Dream_inStyle for the 3 nail polish colors I picked up today while I was out as well! 

Leave a comment below or tweet at me @Dream_inStyle on what I should do for my next post, if you have any questions, or just want to chat!

Today's post is going to be a nail art tutorial, for Christmas Lights. I love this design and got the inspiration for it from one of my favorite nail art YouTubers cutepolish (http://www.youtube.com/user/cutepolish) I changed it up slightly and decided to do this tutorial for you guys! Here ya go.

-Paper Towel

Step by Step:

1. Paint your ring finger and thumb two coats of white nail polish. LET DRY.

2. Paint the rest of your fingers two coats of gold. 

3. Using your stripper create a black curvy/loopy line on both white nails.

4. Take some paper towel and blob some of the pink polish on it, then using your dotting tool create a lightbulb your white nail coming off the black line. 

5. Repeat this step for the yellow, red, blue, and purple light bulbs. LET DRY.

6. Take your top coat and paint a layer on every nail. LET DRY.

7. And Ta-da! Your all done, now show off these nails!
