Where have I been?!?!

Hey guys! Long time, no blog post! Sorry about that... Anyways, I am finally going to start blogging again! Yay! *happy dance time* So, yeah. I'm going to be blogging again on this blog, that you are on right now! But, I am most likely going to change the name of it. So, it will no longer be called, "Glittery Gemini." If you have any name suggestions, please leave them below in the comment section. I would really appreciate that. :) I am going to post as much as possible. I have just been busy and not really in the blogging mood lately. So, sorry about that. But, you can expect many more awesome blog posts to come! I love writing and I really want this blog to be a part of me, you know. I haven't blogged in forever because of school and everything like that. I guess I just fell out of it. I know that this has happened before, but now I'm going to actually post more often and keep posting for a while. I hope that you will keep reading my blog, and follow me! That would be great! Bye!

I hate to say it... Well type it.... :( Bad news here I come...

Hi Guys. I have some bad news. Well, it's not that horrible. I think that most people reading this probably don't care much. Anyways, I am really sorry to say this but..... I am taking a long break from blogging. I don't want to talk about the reason why I can't blog anymore for a while. It's personal and horrible to me. I just won't be blogging for at least a few months. It could be more, maybe even a year. Idk though so don't quote me. I am really sad to have to leave Glittery Gemini. I wish I could blog more like I wanted to. I will probably be blogging again during the summer or even fall. :( boo!! I hate to say it. I hate having to write this blog post. I also wanted to say one last thing that's very important and pretty scary and hard to hear.......









APRIL FOOLS!!!!!! :D haha Lolz

Let me know in the comments below if you fell for this. It wasn't the best prank, but I still wanted to do it. Lol :)

Favorite Spring Nail Polishes 2013

Hey guys! :) Happy Easter Sunday!  The weekend flew by, as usual.  Today I'm going to be showing you my favorite Spring nail polishes this year. I love nail polish, especially for the Spring.  Tons of brands come out with new Spring collections and limited edition colors.  I usually don't buy many limited edition polishes though, because I can never really find them at stores around me.  (sadly)  Anyways, I am going to stop typing this intro and actually get into the real topic of this blog post.  Let's get started with my favorite Spring nail polishes of 2013.  (btw these aren't in any particular order) 

The first nail polish I'm going to talk about is Essie- lilacism.  This nail polish is so pretty! :) I love wearing this during the Springtime, but I do wear it year round as well.  It's a light lilac pastel color with a cream finish.  The Essie website says , "elegant and enchanting, this satiny smooth lilac whispers springtime."  I think that that description fits this nail polish very well.  This color also looks great on many different skin tones.  You can find this nail polish at Target, www.essie.com, CVS, and wherever Essie products are sold. It is around $8.00 depending where you buy it. 








The next nail polish is another one from Essie, called a crewed interest.  This nail polish is so pretty.  Btw, I am going to use the word pretty a lot in this blog post. lol  Anyways, a crewed interest is a beautiful peach color that's perfect for Spring. It has a cream finish, so no shimmer or glitter.  I love wearing this color on my nails! :) The Essie website describes this nail polish as "a luminous peach shade."  It is most definitely the right description.  You can buy this nail polish from www.essie.com, Target, CVS, and wherever Essie products are sold. 





The third nail polish I'm going to rave about is Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in mint sorbet.  I am a huge fan of this polish!  It's so pretty.  I love the color mint, and this nail polish is a great mint nail polish!  That's just what it is, a refreshing, light mint nail polish with a cream finish that screams Spring.  It reminds me of mint ice cream. :) It's very opaque in one coat, and not streaky or anything like that.  This nail polish is only around $3.00 from the drugstore.  I got mine from Target for a great price. Any of the nail polishes from this line are extremely budget friendly.  So, your nails can look chic and stylish for an inexpensive price. 





The second to last nail polish I'm going to be talking about is L'oreal cream puffs.  I got this nail polish pretty recently and I love it so much. It's from the new Romance Versailles collection released for Spring. It's a buttery, pale yellow cream nail polish with a subtle pearl effect.  I just had to pick up this color when I saw a bunch of beauty gurus on YouTube post pictures of the collection on Instagram.  I also was kind of drawn in by the name. lol :) I love when nail polishes have super cute names.  



Here is a picture I took that shows the soft pearl finish.  You can't really see it well, but it's much better than the first picture.  On the nails, this doesn't show up too well, but in the bottle it does.



The last nail polish is yet another Essie.  It's called shine of the times.  Sadly, I'm pretty sure it was discontinued, but you can find it on Ebay.  Here's a link for one on Ebay- http://www.ebay.com/itm/ESSIE-MULTI-DIMENSION-TOP-COAT-NAIL-POLISH-SHINE-OF-THE-TIMES-LUXEFFECTS-/290887637311?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43ba41193f  This nail polish is a multidimensional topcoat to put over another nail polish.  I absolutely love wearing this over many nail colors.  It is a super pretty flaky glitter topcoat.  It has iridescent flaky glitters in it and they are all different colors.  The only thing I would say about the formulation is that it's a little bit sticky.  It's not too bad though.  Once you apply it it works out just fine.



Here's a picture of the nail polish up close where you can see the color of it pretty well.  It looks pretty much the same in this picture as it does in real life.  




I hope you guys enjoyed this blog post. :) Maybe it inspired you to try out some new nail polishes.  If you do try any of these out, please let me know in a comment below.  Also, if you would like to see any of these nail polishes swatched on my nails, feel free to let me know in a comment below.  

Stay glittery and I will ttyl,
Lexi :)

Update! :) Social media, Schedule, and Revamped Blog Design!

Hi guys! :) Today's blog post is going to be an update.  I thought that it would be a good idea to update you guys in a blog post.  

The first thing I wanted to talk about was my new blogging schedule.  I have decided to make a schedule for blogging because I thought it would be easier for myself to make sure blog posts get up on time.  I am going to have a new blog post up every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.  So, on these days a new blog post will be up! :)  

The next thing that I wanted to talk about was my social media; Instagram and Twitter.  Follow me on Instagram for my life in photos!  My Instagram account is @lexip120.  I'm always on Instagram!  It is one of my favorite apps.  I love posting pictures and following other people.  I also have a Twitter account. It's @artsygirl120. Follow me on Twitter for updates!  I am on Twitter a lot!  I like to follow others as well as tweet about what I'm up to. 

The last, but certainly not least, thing I wanted to talk about is my new blog design.  I have recently edited my blog design, and I love it so much more now! :) I changed the colors, font, and wallpaper.  I hope you like it as much as I do!  I worked hard on trying to make it as close to perfect as possible.  

Okay, so that was my update.  It wasn't too exciting, but I hope you still enjoyed it.  I just really wanted to update you guys on what's been going on.  So, please be sure to stay tuned for more!  The next blog post will be up on Sunday.  As always, if you have any requests for blog posts, please let me know in a comment.

Fave movies

Hey guys! :) I'm actually at my sister's basketball game right now and I'm bored and have nothing to do, so I thought I should blog! :) This blog post is going to be my top 5 favorite movies of all time. I love watching movies! They can be so amazing... or so stupid. I prefer the amazing one's. I love comedies and dramas. I can totally sit down and watch a chick flick or a Disney movie. Either way, I'm happy. I'm not, however, into movies like "The Hangover" or "Grown-Up's". I feel like movies don't have to be super inappropriate to be funny. The only movies I like that are quite inappropriate are Mean Girls, Mean Girls 2, and Pitch Perfect.still like to watch Disney channel and Nickelodeon on tv!  Some of those shows are really funny! I'm still a kid, so that's a good thing. Anyways, I am going to actually get to the point of this blog post because I have been blogging a lot right now. So, without further a do my top 5 favorite movies! :) 

1. Beastly 

This is my favorite movie of all time! I absolutely love this movie. It's such an inspiring, amazing movie. It's a romantic fantasy drama. It's basically a modern take on Beauty and the Beast. I really recommend watching it whenever you can! :) 





2. Legally Blonde
I love this movie! :) It's a romantic comedy about a sorority girl, Elle Woods, the main character, getting dumped by her boyfriend and following him to college. This movie is so funny! It's a great movie for any girl's out there!




3. The Karate Kid 5
I love "The Karate Kid" so much! It's an amazing movie! I've only seen the newest one, but I want to know if any of you have seen the others before and if so, let me know what you though!




4. The Hunger Games
I'm a pretty big fan of the hunger games, not as much as some people, but I still love the movie.  It's a great movie, and I would highly recommend watching it.  The story line is just so interesting and thrilling. 




5. A Cinderella Story
I am a total fan of this amazing movie.  It's a great teen romantic comedy.  I have seen this movie a million times, but I still love it. 





Okay, so those are my top 5 movies of all time.  I love these movies so much.  I know that I just told you about my 5th favorite movie, but I had to include two more.  I just couldn't not talk about them! 

6. Enchanted 
I love this movie! :) It's enchanting.  lol :) I think that it's a great family movie.  I love the music element in it.  This movie would be amazing as a musical.  I would totally want to see it! I also love the 




7. Fun Size 
I love Fun Size! :D It's very funny and perfect for teens.  It's one of the best Halloween movies I've seen before. 





Those are my top 7 movies.  I just couldn't only do 5.  I mean, there are only so many great movies in the world, it's hard to narrow it down to 5.  Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this blog post, and please feel free to comment below your top 5 favorite movies! :) I would love to hear them.  

Stay glittery and I will ttyl,
