Caribbean Cool Off

Happy Friday the 13th. Since today is supposed to be one of those jinxed days, I went for a fun colorful look. I don't need any negativity so fun and playful works much better for me :)

Colors used:
NYX- Milk Jumbo Pencil
Mac- Colour Matter Technakohl liner
Evil Shades- Mudkip
Evil Shades- China Doll
Mac- Violet Trance Eyeshadow
Mac- Snob Lipstick

Hope your all up to something good today/ tonight. Happy polishing!

Pretty in Pink

Yesterday I randomly wanted to wear pink. I am not usually a pink enthusiast. I like the musician, think it is cute on baby girls... but just don't find it a color to wear alone on myself. So here we have it. A rare day of myself in pink eyeshadow. Maybe this color will grow on me, but I am not counting on it.

Colors used:
NYX- Strawberry milk
NYX- Milk
Concrete Minerals- Prude
Evil Shades- China Doll (this is a blush color but I used it as an eye shadow)
Sugarpill pressed eyeshadow- Bulletproof
MAC Technakohl Liner- Full of Fuchsia

Hope everyone is beating the heat somehow. I know its been crazy here. We had a week straight of over 100 degree weather. Tell next time... Happy polishing!

Trim a tree

One of the many Christmas Mani's done.

Diva

I did this diva-ish or egypt themed mani and makeup look around halloween.

Glacial

I did this eyeshadow look a few times over the holiday season. Very cold and fitting for the cool days of winter.

Its electric with fux crackle

Neon faux marbling with faux crackle. I did these the same day as the rainbow eyeshadow. I was screaming 80's child for sure.

Rainbow Shadow

Bored one evening I pulled this out of me bum. I had seen rainbow eyeliner but I turned it into a full lash to crease shadow deal.

Independence Day Stars and Stripes

Happy Independence Day or as most people know it 4th of July. This is my LOTD. I played with and toyed with this idea for awhile before finally finalizing this for todays LOTD last week. I am very happy with it.

The stars are just craft stars that are glued on with eyelash glue.

For a full list of products used check out my makeupbee page.

Now for my nails I used a Revlon color named Blue Lagoon. Its a Pastel blue with a silver shimmer in it.  Three Konad stamping polishes were used as well (red white and blue) including a konad plate  for the stamped splater looking overlay.

For a tutorial on how to achieve more than one color in a single stamping see HERE. An FYI the tutorial is a bit loud so turn down your speakers... but it does give the general idea on how to get the nail look I did. Video quality isn't the best either, still best I could find on the web after searching. This tutorial is now on my list for a future blog posts.

Could not for the life of me tell you now what plate I used... I pulled a no no and broke into the nail box and already re-taped it up. I think the family may suspect my breaking into closed boxes but if I keep breaking into them they might think it ok to do the same themselves. Best just leave the box alone and keep the plate number a mystery eh?

As always happy polishing! And having a wonderful/ safe Independence day.

Valentines magic

For Valentines day I came up with this cute Mani. A field of heart grass and a dove with silver ribbons behind  the dove to accent it. I loved how it turned out. Got so many compliments on it and some business to boot.

Chocolate Rose Wallpaper

This Mani reminds me of wallpaper. It was just a random thrown together nail look for no specific occasion.

Wind Swept

This is what some wind swept hair looks like... thanks to my fiances mad driving skills and his crazy truck with the windows down LOL. At least my crazy neon eyeliner is intact even though I look like a deer in the headlights.
