Christmas Nails 4

This was a really easy look to do. I just painted my nails green (and the ring fingers red) and then put the Christmas glitter top coat on top.

Christmas nail series 3

This look was a little more difficult to do. First I painted my nails green. Then I slowly painted the lines of the silver holographic glitter on my nails to make it look like a garland. Then I used the red and the gold. I dotted them onto my nails to look like ornaments. Overall this was the nail look that I got the most compliments on. I actually have people at the place where I work who always ask to see my nails because I do stuff like this.

Christmas Nails 2

Sorry I've been slacking on posts lately! I grossly underestimated the amount of stress the end of the semester and holiday season would bring. Therefore, I will post all of my holiday nail series tonight!

So this is a really easy look I did. As long as your hand is steady, it is very easy to pull off. I also like this look for when my nails start to chip and I don't feel like redoing them right away. It ends up looking very classy.

All I did was apply the bottom color and then the top color to the corner of each nail. Voila! My fingers looked like little Christmas bulbs!\

Christmas Nails! 1

OPI, A Oui Bit of Red

China Glaze #884 Party Hearty

Hi folks, sorry it's been SO long since I've posted. I now understand why most of the famous beauty bloggers are out of college, it's hard to keep up with everything! Luckily I've been taking pictures and intending to post. Thus I have a Christmas nail series. I vowed to have Christmas nails throughout the month of December so I already have a few looks and a couple more planned. They range from simple to outlandish so I hope you enjoy!

This first one is pretty simple. I couldn't wait to use Party Hearty when I bought it back in November so this was the first look I did on my nails for December. One coat of a Oui Bit of Red and two of Pearty Hearty did the trick and I got lots of compliments. It's a very easy and festive look!

Halloween Nails 2

I used orange nail polish on the bottom and applied black nail polish to look like a jack-o-lantern face. Unfortunately my hand isn't quite as steady it needs to be so they aren't as neat as I would like. Hope you enjoy!

Halloween themed nails!

So this nail look takes a very long time to dry if you do it the way I did it. You could layer the red, but it would take a very steady hand to do so.

On the bottom I used a dark blue. I used a bright red for the blood appearance. What I did was let the red drip down my finger nails and then I painted the tips red as if I were doing french tips. Because I let the nail polish drip, it took FOREVER for the red to dry. I have since added a couple coats of clear nail polish which makes it look better. I love the way it looks like blood is dripping down my nails! Perfect for Halloween!

Purple eye tutorial

Photo taken by Liz Powell.

I have to give credits to my sister for a. being my model and b. taking pictures of all my items to review this afternoon (I took the pictures of her).

This is a tutorial for a purple eye I did on myself the other day that I was complimented on a lot. I thought I would do it on my sister and post it for everybody to see.

The first picture is of the materials I used, the second two are of the finished result.

Materials:
Gel Eyeliner (or pencil if you prefer, I used Mac fluid line in Blitz and Glitz)
Dark Purple shadow (I used Urban Decay's Flash)
Light Purple shadow (I used Urban Decay's Grifter)
Medium Purple Shadow (I used MAC's Trax)
Highlight (if you have one handy)
Primer
Angled Eyeliner brush
Fluffy brush for Crease
Lid Brush

Step 1. Prime the eye. I always use primer, I never skip it. I'm completely rigid about this.
Step 2. Use a highlight on the browbone and inner corners of both eyes.
Step 3. Use the light purple shadow on the lid. I also used MAC's big bounce eyeshadow in Good Fortune on top of the light purple to make the glitter stick more and give it a purple effect. This is not necessary but I love to use the big bounce eyeshadow because it's so cool.
Step 4. Use the medium purple shadow on the crease.
Step 5. Apply a thick line with the dark purple shadow to the top lid. Don't really blend this.
Step 6. Apply a bit of liner to the bottom outer third of the eye.
