Hey Nubians,

Because Short Nails Are Cute Too...

A girl has to keep up with her beauty but as of late, I decided to give the long nails a break for a while. By "long" I mean not mine ha ha! More like acrylic or gel extensions. I used to think that I HAD to have long nails... I don't really know why, I guess it made me feel more lady like. Now-a-days I'm content trying to be a bit more creative with my short nails and trying to think of cute manicures that I can do myself.

Don't get my wrong, every-so-often I really miss long nails and I'm sure I'll go back to them eventually... but for now it's short manicures for me.


I gave myself a cute and simple mani this week. I didn't have much time to get too fancy. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 178 All Bright Pink as the base coat and then I used L.A. Colors Art Deco wands to do the little Zebra-ish lines in white and glitter to make it POP more.


I'm happy with the results. I figure as long as your hands are moisturized and your nails are painted nicely then you're good to go. I gave myself a pedicure with the same design too! I love the pink color from Sally Hansen. It's so bold without being neon.

Do you have any favorite nail polish colors for this summer?

Hello Nubians,

My dear friend Jasmin gifted me with some beautiful Lime Crime Makeup lipsticks and a colored eye-liner for my birthday so I thought... since they're soooooo pretty I must review!

Hey Nubians,

I love mixing lip colors. A lot of times you love a color but it's too bold and you may not be in the mood to rock something so strong that day.

Below is the result of me mixing NYX Blue Velvet and NYC Parsons Pink lipstick colors. NYX Blue Velvet is very bold and looks almost identical to the color of a smurf (I kid you not). The NYC Parsons Pink is a metallic pink. When you mix them both it lightens the NYX blue to look more like a sky blue and also gives it a metallic finish which is super cute.

Hey Nubians,

A lady always has to make sure her hands look presentable. When I was younger, I didn't care about these kind of things at all. I thought I was "too cool" walking around with my chipped nails.

With age I've realized it's better to have no polish on than chipped polish. 

I went to the nail salon this week (treat yo self ladies) and got a nice pink coat of China Glaze Shocking Pink. The color was just yelling out "choose me!" so I did. I love the end result. I often use China Glaze because most of them are also nail hardeners and the lacquer pigment is bold and last long.


What are some of your favorites nail polish colors?

Hello Nubians,


Let's talk about my muse for this outfit, Patrick from Spongebob... isn't he the cutest! I've collaged some photos of him below for your viewing pleasure.

My first stop was Whole Foods where I just had to go and pick up my Synergy Kombucha drink. After moving from New York to Vegas these are a lot harder to find. In NY I used to find them easily even at Deli's, but here I have to check out more healthy type stores.


Visuals...








Lastly it was cold as hell so I ended the day with a good 'ol coffee from The Coffee Bean. They have a mean Hot Chocolate too.

Hello Nubians, 

Hey Nubians,

For my Lip Color of the Week I decided to review 3 colors from NYC New York Color Expert Last collection with launched Spring 2014 with 20 shades. I have been using Coralista, Snowcone and Smooch. You'll find a lip color for every occasion in this collection and it's an exciting line for Summer.

See the swatches below. To sum things up in a few words, I recommend you try these lipsticks out. They're fun and refreshing. For 1.99 each lipstick, it's definitely worth picking up a few shades.

Hello Nubians,


Tis I, Nubia and I'm back with my second addition to my new Lip Color of the Week segment! The lips are such an important part of your face and it's important to keep them healthy and dress them up every once in a while. This week I sampled Mally Beauty Ultimate Performance Endless Color Liquid Lipstick - Pink Flush.

All you ladies should have a kick ass hot pink color this season. So pucker up and watch my video below as I tell you the pros and cons about this product. Overall I give the liquid lipstick a 3 out of 5 and look forward to giving you pink pouts and keep wearing it.

Hello my sweet Nubians,

Just a quick outfit shot before I left the house a few days ago.

Hello fellow Nubians,

I hope all of you had an amazing weekend :) Mine was pretty relaxed. Layed low, set goals, pretty damn satisfying actually... I don't have to go out EVERY single weekend after all.

Saturday I didn't sleep at all actually... I was up working and by the time I looked at the clock it was 7 am and I just decided to stay up. I have a Tassimo coffee maker that has become some strange sort of miracle worker for me... The coffee is CRAY. So good and makes me stay up longer than most coffee I usually have.

Anyway, I decided to go to Manhattan and enjoy the chilly weather (at that time the NYC humidity hasn't kicked in yet). I hung out at Bryant Park for a while and starting reminiscing about the NYFW tents and how fun it used to be... Lincoln Center and Milk Studios are obviously amazing venues to hold shows BUT something about the tents was a bit magical... I miss it.  

About this outfit... There isn't much to say. I was exhausted. I decided to dress comfortable but still wanted to be my colorful self.

Wearing: Material Girl slacks, Hot Topic sneakers, Vintage Top.
Below you'll see my Starbucks stop, 42st Bryant Park and 42st Times Square.

Toodles,
