Ombre Nails, Fingerpaints, and ThanksGifting with Sally Beauty

HTML email (plussizebabydolldress.blogspot.com)

Tracking PixelHey Girl, Hey! I am back with another playful Sally Beauty post and this time it is all about nails. I tend to be a bit lazy about my nails, opting for nail polish stickers, but every once in a while, I do find myself playing in the polish. Also I suck at this, but practice makes perfect right? In this case, I tried about four times to make this work! Ombre Nails!?!

If the polish is pigmented enough, I will definitely play! AND as we head into the holidays, there are tons of gift sets, promotions, and deals that only make it easier to play in- let’s call it Thanksgifting (or Sally Beauty calls it this). So one for you and two for me- right? LOLOL

Over the years, I have tended NOT to have acrylic, letting my nails go bare and strong with the help of my trusty supplements (Hello Toji). So now that my nails have been growing more, I think they are up for a little décor, right? To help me with this, I have picked out a few hues from the FingerPaints line, exclusive to Sally Beauty! They are new to me, so I thought why not? AND I decided to ombre it! I learned this trick a while back and wanted to give a whirl on my own! Now do not laugh, as I have tried this a few times today to get it right!

My Ombre Nails and FingerPaints Tutorial

Here is the finished product:

I must note, there are many ways to do this, I just chose the easiest for me way, since I am quite clumsy, not so coordinated, and impatient. Maybe this is why stickers worked so well for me. HA! Anywho, keep reading…

My Ombre Nails and FingerPaints Tutorial:

Ombre Nails with Fingerpaints

  1. Make sure that your nails are clean and dry! Also make sure cuticles are pushed back too for optimal nail bed.
  2. Have handy wedge sponges. Sometimes I use them for foundation application, but today, it is all about the nails. Some folks suggest soaking in water to prevent the polish from being soaked up!
  3. Unscrew the polish for easy access, but don’t take the lid off.
  4. Paint the sponge with a few coats with color and pattern of your choice. Paint the top of the square base of the sponge. If you want to get fancy, and other colors like a rainbow! I just stuck to two colors. (Add specific polish colors here.)
  5. Stamp the top of the sponge onto your nail and let dry. Repeat. Depending on your color choices, you can repeat for deeper hues.
  6. Apply a top coat and this helps blend the polish!
  7. Clean up the sides of your nails with a cue tip or a brush and polish remover!

And BOOM! Obvs I need practice, but not bad for the first go round, huh!  Fancy Ombre nails, thanks to FingerPaints from Sally Beauty! Next time, I will layer the colors with different hues, something bold, maybe sparkly, maybe more of a contrast in a brighter tone.

AND did you know that if you snatch up your FingerPaints in November and December, they have a gift with purchase! My score is the Cheetah iPhone Wrislet Wallet! WOOT. Two gifts in one! I think this will go to a cousin of mine who LOOOVESSS animal print!

I seriously do love this time of year when it comes to beauty!!! Sally Beauty wants us to ALSO focus on ourselves, getting “Thanksgifted” and ultimately treating ourselves. I am here for it all.

10 Perfectly Polished Plus Size Coats Under $150

HTML email (plussizebabydolldress.blogspot.com)

I am all the way here for building my coat wardrobe. I mean, this is my first real fall and winter and there is NO way that my tail is going to freeze! A reader shot me a message asking me to fashion a post for wool plus size coats under $150, and happily I obliged, because, I need to make sure I have at least ONE great fancy polished coat to play in! I have found a few places for you to shop and some of my fave finds!10 Perfectly Polished Plus Size Coats Under $150

Today, we are only tackling the polished sorts, wool blends, sleek and tailored options- if you are looking for a leather moto or bomber, take a peek at the 10 Leather picks for fall. If you are looking for something with a bit more ladylike, sophisticated, or classic appeal, I have a few that may have your name all over it! Here you go:

(If you see a jacket you like just click on the blue highlighted text!)

They do exist! I will rock out with quite a few more posts for your shopping please regarding styles, fits, and at varying price points shortly, but I do hope that for those of you looking, you have found an option or two or three?! I have already marked and have added them in my shopping cart!

WOOT!

I cannot wait to bundle up all stylishly- with bold patterns, colors, and shapes! I am also digging the hoods. Seeing more hooded options makes me happy. I don’t know what it is about a hood, but I think it breaks apart the seriousness of it all. You know? IONO. But, I like it.

Do you already have your stash of coats for the winter? Another one could not hurt; at least this is what I tell myself. I have to have the options to dress for my moods…

Did you find your new fall coat here? No? Where did you snag it? Sharing is caring and inquiring minds want to know!

Date Night in Lace, Husband Jeans, & Purple Peep Toes

HTML email (plussizebabydolldress.blogspot.com)After 21 years of marriage, I still get excited for date night.
Moto Tweed Jacket/Lane Bryant | Cropped Lace/ TJ Maxx| Jeans/ Deb Shops | Peep Toes/Just Fab


I love wearing jeans and have all different styles and cuts including skinny, distressed, dressy,  light wash, dark wash, and printed. For our time this weekend, I wore husband jeans (not actually his, but I hate the term boyfriend jeans) styled with a cream cropped lace top, a cream moto jacket, and purple peep toes.


I have jean buying down to a science. Believe it or not, my favorite place to purchase plus size jeans is Deb Shops. My brand of preference is Amethyst, either straight or modified boot cut works best for my body shape. Lastly, because I carry my weight in the mid to upper section of my body, my jeans must be low riders.

It was a great night for a date. We have been enjoying perfect fall temps averaging about 60's in the evening but the first autumn snow, which is on the way this week, will put an end to that!

 What's your favorite date attire?

Until next time, Stay Fab!







ps..Look #2 with these jeans, later this week.
