NOTW & Nail Art + skin update

hello beauty lovers,
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I was a little sick because at our company dinner at work they served us undercooked turkey. So I was feeling a little sick, along with half of my other co-workers and really couldn't enjoy my mothers cooking the next day but none the less I was thankful for many things this year. And also I had to go and get an upgrade on my phone as well because the one I had the touch screen gave up AGAIN! it had to be replaced like four times and i was getting really sick of it!

So for the past week or so these have been my nails and as you can see it was time for a new manicure.

PRODUCTS USED:

Gelous Advanced Nail Gel Coat as base coat

NYC Expert Last Nail Polish in Hint of Mint

Revlon Top Speed in Metallic

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

And I was just about to remove it and pick a new color when I decided to play around with it. I don't do nail art very often and when I do its usually just on one finger but I had time and I was bored so why not!

PRODUCTS USED:

Confetti in Black Tie for the large stripe

Confetti in Wedding White for dotting

Milani Nail Art in Art Of Silver for striping

Milani Nail Art in White Canvas for striping

LA Colors Art Deco in Black for striping

Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat

So that was that, and I'm thinking about removing them tonight and go for red...

Also, Ive been thinking about shaping my nails oval...hmm

SKIN UPDATE: its been a little over a week since I started that hormonal acne treatment and all my breakouts are gone! However, my pores are still purging and I see lots of little whiteheads and little blackheads coming to the surface, but they're not inflamed or red and definitely a lot less bothersome than the huge cystic breakouts I've had...

The Epiduo is amazing. Ive expected side effects or at least a little redness or irritation but none so far! It didn't even make my skin too oily like Tazorac for example, nor did my skin dry out. Love it! I am just trying to find a new product that will help me fade the spots it left. I used AcuDerm Rejuvenating Lotion before with excellent results but Ive been thinking to just try and apply lemon juice to the spot!
