Halloween

I had this in my to post list since October. I was contemplating posting these and was a little torn as to if I should or shouldn't. What really got me is what people would think! Finally I've decided to share. Not all my readers are Muslim and I don't feel as if drawing a pumpkin or Frankenstein on my nails really go against Islam. Some might not agree with my decision and that is OK..

I know these images are a tad irrelevant now, but please enjoy!

DIY: Straight Pin Painting

I hate it when I have a green, or a red hijab and I don't have the pins to match. Straight pins are extra handy as a hijabi, but they come in a limited selection of color if you get them from the sewing store or even grocery store. One day I got fed up with my lack of color selection and thought; since I have a whole bunch of nail polish ranging in a variety of colors, why not paint my pins myself. And that is exactly what I did. This is a great  and perhaps cheaper alternative to purchasing from specialty hijab stores or even online.

Things you'll need:

A Hijab:

Nail Polish (closest match to hijab):

Straight Pins:

and voila!!

A Close Match!!!

Here are my eid outfit.

OPI: Nicki Minaj Collection

Purple Shatter "Super Bass" ,"Metallic 4 Life", "Save Me", "Fly", "Did It On 'Em", "Pink Friday".

These are the soon to be released colours from Nicki Minaj collection by OPI, due to hit store January 2012.  The silvers, "Metallic 4 Life", and "Save Me", looks amazing. I am also loving "Pink Friday". I am tempted to purchase the Purple shatter, even though I have China's Glaze's  "Fault Line". I was really disappointed by CG because their crackle dried up in about 2 uses. I had purchased my OPI black shatter way before Fault Line and it's still working fine till this day. So I have high hopes for "Super Bass" and it's a deeper richer looking purple too. Can't wait for the New Year.

Breast Cancer Awearness Nail

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This is a month that not only encourages awareness, but educates and empowers people.

Last year my Aunt; alhumdulillah fought and won the battle with breast cancer. This nail look was inspired by her and the many other women and MEN, who are fighting every day with this disease.

Old Navy Sale

I was in old navy this weekend and they were having 50% off Clearance Prices. I purchased 2 items

Shoes: Famous Footware
Hijab: Sam Moon
Necklace: Forever21
Everything else Old Navy

my favourite pair shoes ever. I wear them every single day at work and they are dieing on me:(

Women's Belted Pleated Capris and Women's Open Pointelle Sweaters. The sales price on for the sweater differs from in-store and online. Online it's $10 more. But yes 50% off the sales price plus a $5 coupon I had already =CHEAP!!!

I basically got my pants for nearly 3 bucks!!!

Haul (Random)

I wanted to use my $3.50 off coupon at Ulta so I picked up these two: Nicole by O.P.I "Texture Coat" in Gold Texture. I must say I really love the gold way better than the silver. The think I don't understand is how come this Nicole Texture didn't come with the signature Nicole brush. The brushed in there are standard.

I also picked up the EOS Lip Balm in Honeysuckle Honeydew. I love Honeydew melons so it was a no brain-er to choose this flavour.

I was looking for The pink shatter by OPI but it wasn't available, and I ended up getting it at Walmart, in the salon. So look out for that at Walmart, they have all the shatter colours available except for silver.

Here's a look at the shatter and texture in action.

I heard OPI is coming out with a Gold Shatter as well. But I don't think I want to wait around for that.
