NK NAIL POLISH WITH HARDENERS 'Taupe Extreme' FROM NICKA K COSMETICS


Hey dolls! These have been my favorite beauty supply brand nail polish for a very long time, for years! The polishes cost $1 dollar in about 80% of all the beauty supplies in New York (it's a New York based brand). I do not know if this company is sold in any other retail stores I only find this band at the local beauty supply shops. 


They are always up to date on the nail polish trends but this is a company I never hear anyone talking about. Their polishes are fantastic! I had this one  for 3 days with no top coat and I have had minimal to no chipping! I just adore them, i wonder why retailers like walgreens, rite aid etc doesn't sell this brand. 


The color I'm wearing is 'Taupe Extreme' and it really just looks like a light brown and it is a creme finish. It has a tint of pink in the light, I don't know how to describe it but its a gorgeous neutral and naturally glossy. Im not a neutral girl when it comes to polish so what possessed me to try this shade is beyond me and I'm so glad I did. 




I have a ton of NK nail polishes and maybe in the future I will show my collection. That's a lot of photos, oy! : )



Here's where you can get information on this company and where to buy:

BEAUTY BARGAIN HAULIN! What coupons can do for you









Well beauty frugalistas I have the deal to knock your socks off! Rite Aid and Walgreens are both having 40% discounts on Maybelline and Revlon as well as BUY 1 get one half off for L'oreal. Great beauty deals but the icing on the cake is my new secret weapon: COUPON CLIPPING SITES! I don't know what took me so long but honey once you know, you won't go back to buying retail drugstore price. I purchased a ton of mascaras, pencils, concealer, lipstick and I saved a total of 17 bucks and some change! 


The website I went to is called 'the coupon master' (www.thecouponmaster.com) but there are many other lovely coupon clipping services websites but this to me was the best because everything I wanted and needed was in stock and at a ridiculously good price. You only needed a minimum of $3 in order to make an order, hah!


I Purchased these coupons for a total of 4.26 delivery/shipping, surcharge handling fee included:


5 Rimmel $1 off coupon
5 Maybelline Mascara $1 off coupon
5 Maybelline Lip $2 off coupon
5 L'oreal Eye $2 off coupon
3 Revlon $1 off coupon
3 Maybelline Face $3 off 2 products








And at Rite Aid I purchased:


Maybelline Colossal Mascara in Glam Black and Falsies Mascara in Blackest Black
Maybelline Fit me concealer in Cafe (loving it shoulda purchased another one)
L'oreal Voluminous in Blackest Black and Carbon Voluminous Waterproof formula




Maybelline Lip Color Sensational in Blushing Brunette which I read on Temptalia, is suppose to be a dupe for Mac's Creme in your Coffee or cup who the hell knows heres the pic:

Blushing Brunette: Creamy but not too shiny a bit drying : (


And Lastly a supposed dupe for Mac's eyebrow pencil in 'SPIKED' , Maybelline's Define A Brow in Dark Brown which is like an almost blackened brown and i really like it! 




Dark Brown perfect for me!

RANT AGAINST MAYBELLINE MASCARAS SHADE NAMES!





It's just a mini rant and a thought I wanted to share with you beauty freaks like myself, lol

So you go to buy mascara and you want the blackest black mascara. Perfectly fine, but not for Maybellline brand mascaras. Its either black, blackest black, glam black, drama black I MEAN COME ON!

The company makes me, a consumer, a lil confused. I just want the darkest black mascara how the hell am i going to distinguish one from the other! i know theirs a numbering system but i would think blackest black would be the darkest but then you have glam black i mean what does that mean?

COMPANIES LIKE MAYBELLINE NEED TO BE BETTER WITH THIS PROBLEM. This is why i stick with L'oreal... ugh

PEOPLE I AM SERIOUS. Ok not so much but i mean its a thought and if anyone of you knows which one is which or what the order is LET A SISTER KNOW!
