Random Nails of the Day!

Alrighty, these aren't particularly interesting, but they've been in my unpublished pictures folder forever and I really need to upload them so that they are not there anymore.

And yes, I know it's been forever. I will try to take some eyeshadow picture! It's summer, so I have no excuse. And I do have ideas...Stay posted, please! In the meantime, suffer through this filler post.

The base color for this is L'Oreal's Precious Coral. It's a very red orange. It's not my favorite color, but I'm sure it works for some people.As yo might be able to see, it's not super bright, but it's not a burnt orange either. It's a creme and applies pretty evenly. The color that I put on top is one coat of 9.0.2.1.Orange. Awful name, very sheer color, nice layering color. It's kind of a glass fleck, very similar to Zoya's Tanzy, I believe.

 This is Sinful Color's Minted. These were stamped using Konad-like plates. The color was a Chameleon color, don't remember what it is because I don't own it anymore. Chameleon is supposed to be all duochromes, I think, but this color was just really frosty. Don't recommend. They have other good colors, though. And it worked fine for stamping.

 Another stamping color! The base color is China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald. And then just a white Konad nail polish and a nail plate. Gorgeous.

Yes, there's writing on my hand. The base color for this...Just a creme black, I think. Wet 'n Wild. Their black is actually pretty good. And the color that I used over it is that orange Wet 'n Wild color from above. The one with the awful name. I just did layers of it. It's sheer enough that it worked well.

I wore these when I was doing a recital and singing as Elphaba from Wicked. And no, I did not sound good--I wasn't a belter at all. But anyway, she's green, so I wanted to wear green. I just used tape to get the sharp lines. The base color is Emerald Fitzgerald by China Glaze again. And I think that the shimmer is 9.0.2.1.Orange again.

Wet 'n Wild Blue Wants To Be A Millionaire

A sparse, sheer light blue holographic nail polish. You can vaguely see my nail line, even though this is probably about four coats. fortunately, the nail polish is pretty watery, so it's easy to get thin, even coats. And the more coats, the more intense holo. The holo is very gritty, kind of like sand. It's not a bad nail polish, but it's not top notch.

 Zoya Kimmy.

Beautiful color. It's a bright saturated red with lots of golden flecks. You only need about two coats of this one. Looks great on the nails, looks great on the toes, very flattering. I don't even know what else to say about it. Totally recommend.

 Zoya Cassie.

Warm, medium pink. It has a very subtle glass fleck type of thing to it, but it's not shiny. Even when I apply topcoat it's pretty dull. I personally don't love this color, but it's not bad either. It's pretty thick, only needs a few coats, but it can get kind of gloppy. Just make sure you have a super-shiny topcoat to make it look it's best.

Okay, hope that you like some of these, and that this post wasn't totally annoying. NOTD posts are kind of boring, so maybe I won't do anymore. I just needed to get these out. I really want this blog to be mostly eye posts, because that's what I like the best. Feel free to request those!

Disney Series: Belle

Hey guys! How are you? So, I decided to do a Disney princess/character series. I want to do not only princesses, but also maybe some villains.  Just whoever I feel like basically.  Right now I'm focusing on princesses, though and I'm here today with:

 Yeah, this word picture thing doesn't really work here. I'm doing Belle because she's the one that I got when I did the princess tag a few months ago.

Dipped in Cobalt

Another neutral look! Well, relatively neutral. I love navy blue liner with a passion, because blue is just about the prettiest color against brown eyes.  And it looks normal until you look close up, and then it looks like you lined your eyes with sapphire. Or cobalt. By the way, when I was looking up a picture for cobalt in google images, one of the first pictures that came up was a blue tarantula. I almost died. And here's the look!

Erm... Awkward. I don't really remember at all. I'll try anyway, though!\

• Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige

• Urban Decay Perversion eyeliner
• Urban Decay curling mascara

Hmm. That looks right. Even if it isn't, you guys don't really care. 

Sorry if those products are completely wrong... I did that look everyday for about a week, using different products each time trying to get it to look better and better. I decided that more golden-yellow colors make for better contrast, I think. It doesn't help that I did the look a while ago too. I'm going to try to come up with some product reviews next. I know that everyone loves tutorials and looks the best, but I have a lot of pictures backed up in my camera, and most of them are products.  I do have looks too, so don't worry about that either. 

Hope ya'll are having a fabulous Saturday! Oh, and I went to LUSH for the first time today. That place is expensive! I don't know how you guys go to it so often. Well, hopefully the face bar I got there will do something for my disaster of a face. Screw you acne!

Smoky Mountains

I'm so sorry that I've been so MIA on this blog, and even more on Youtube... I don't even have a very good excuse. Well, except that I've been gone for about a week to West Virginia on a service project, and this is the look that I wore on the way there, hence the name.  I don't think that I have too many neutral looks on this blog, so enjoy!

Eyes:

• Too Faced Shadow Insurance
• Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe
• MAC Club
• L'Oreal Cobalt Smokes quad
• Urban Decay Gunmetal eyeshadow
• Urban Decay Creep eyeshadow
• Highlighter from a no-name palette
• Urban Decay Perversion eyeliner
• Some random mascara...

 Okay, so it's really just a basic smokey eye... Well, it's not even really a smokey eye, it just has the colors of one. And it was only really inspired by using MAC Club as my transition color, and I think that it works really well since the green reflex in it gives it a pretty cool tone to it.  Maybe it wasn't the best look to wear for 8 hours in the car, though.  Hope that you guys have fun vacations this summer, and feel free to tell me about them in the comments!
