LBD or LBB (Little Black Dress or Little Black Bugs) Revlon Nail Glitters in black.

So after my FAILed Konad last night, I was still feeling creative, and saw this in my nail art drawer. Back when I first began on MUA, a fellow NB'er posted a mani, using these Revlon Nail Glitters, and it looked amazing! So when she said where she got them, eBay, I ran right there, and grabbed a jar.  Now, it's been sitting in my art drawer for a LOOONG time. Well, not any more. I put a layer of Sinful's Black on Black  polish first, and before that could dry, I dipped my nails in the jar, one by one.  Lets just say these glitters are meeeesssyyy! I felt as though my nails appeared to look like a sequined little black dress, but then, because I had tons of little black glitter thingys all over my fingers, it also looked like BUGS! They were a PITA to get off. Anyways here is the effect. I love it, but it's just not very functional. I did try to add a tc after these pics, but it just ruined it. The glitter appeared to smoothed out throughout most of the nail, and some did come off. This too, got removed very quickly : P

This is a PSA, Don't Drink & Konad. Orly Royal Navy

 So last night, during the TERRIBLE thunderstorm, I decided to Konad, well, using the Bundle Monster plates, eeekk. I always feel really creative after a drink. I started with Orly's Royal Navy. This polish is amazing, the bright blue color alone is gorgeous, but then add all the turq. shimmer, and ........ it just doesn't get any better. This is 2 coats with 1 coat of SV.

 

  

This is where I FAILED. I was doing pretty good, but then all of a sudden when I went to stamp my middle finger, my hand just spazzed out, and push really hard on the nail, lol. I know it doesn't look all that bad, but for me, I get really anal about my stamping, and lets just say, the whole mani was removed right after I took the pics, lol.

Here is our pup Rolo, shaking his head at me. LOL. Oh well on to the next

Vampires makeup: Alice Cullen

Ed eccoci al secondo makeup ispirato dal fascino vampiro:

l'elegante Alice Cullen.

Il suo look è molto discreto ma allo stesso tempo si fa notare!

Elenco prodotti usati:

• Basi: Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Shu Uemura Painting Liner in G Silver

Procedimento:

Passo 1: dopo aver steso il primer su tutta la palpebra, stendo con le dita l'eyeliner argento in crema solo sulla palpebra mobile
















Passo 2: con il pennello da sfumatura applico l'ombretto argento nella prima parte della palpebra mobile e, sempre con lo stesso pennello, applico l'ombretto nero nell'angolo esterno creando una V molto morbida













Passo 3: dopo aver pulito velocemente il pennello, applico il colore neutro mat sull'arcata sfumandolo con il nero sottostante

















Passo 4: all'attaccatura delle ciglia disegno una linea con la matita nera

















Passo 5: per la parte inferiore dell'occhio all'interno applico la matita nera, all'esterno lo stesso e la sfumo con il pennello piccolo: verso l'interno con l'ombretto argento e verso l'esterno con quello nero

Yabba Dabba OOOH!

Get ready to go bowling, break out your foot-powered car, and get your Dino on! Today is the 50th anniversary of the 1st episode of the Hanna-Barbera classic, 'The Flintstones'!!! Fun tidbit- for the longest time when I was a kid- I always thought that Hanna Barbera was a person, not the last names of two people. I eventually caught on though... Today's nail art is a tribute to the stone-age smile-inducers- the Flintstones (and the Rubbles). On my left hand, I have Fred, Wilma, and Pebbles Flintstone, with Dino on the ring finger, and a closeup of Fred's garb on the pinky. On the right hand, I painted The Great Gazoo on my thumb, then Barney, Betty, and Bamm-Bamm Rubble, with Bamm-Bamm's club on my pinky.

I used:

Left:

Thumb: Fred Flintstone

Orly Snowcone as a base, with American Apparel Summer Peach for his skin, then mixed with Color Club Best Dressed List for his stubble. For his tongue, I used a combination of American Apparel Palm Springs and Orly Pixy Stix, for his eyes, I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud and for the hair and outlines, I used American Apparel Hassid.

Index: Wilma Flintstone

Orly Snowcone as a base, with American Apparel Summer Peach for her skin, as well as as a base for her hair. For her hair, I used CND Electric Orange. For her necklace and teeth, I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud, China Glaze Salsa for her lips, then outlined everything in American Apparel Hassid.

Middle: Pebbles Flintstone

Orly Snowcone as a base, with American Apparel Summer Peach for her skin, as well as as a base for her hair. Like Wilma, I also used CND Electric Orange for Pebbles' hair. Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for her eyes and the bone in her hair. For her dress, I used Pure Ice Wild Thing, then outlined everything with American Apparel Hassid.

Ring: Dino

Orly Snowcone as a base, with Color Club Ms. Socialite for the purple, then mixed with American Apparel Palm Springs for his muzzle. I also used this combination in a different strength for his tongue. For his collar, I used Zoya Yummy, with Barielle Aura Angora for his 'dog' tag. I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for his eyes, and American Apparel Hassid to outline.

Pinky: Fred's 'suit'

CND Electric Orange as a base, with Zoya Yummy for his tie, with American Apparel Hassid to outline, and for the spots on the orange fabric.


Right Hand

Thumb: The Great Gazoo

Orly Snowcone as a base, with L.A. Girl Army Green for his face, CND Green Scene for his shirt and helmet, a mixture of CND Green Scene and
American Apparel Hassid for his collar, Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for his eyes, and American Apparel Hassid to outline everything.

Index: Barney Rubble

Orly Snowcone as a base, with MAC Abalone Shell for his skin, then mixed with Color Club Best Dressed List for his stubble, American Apparel Manila for his hair, OPI Ginger Bells for his 'suit', and American Apparel Hassid to outline everything.

Middle: Betty Rubble

Orly Snowcone as a base, with American Apparel Summer Peach for her skin, China Glaze Salsa for her lips, Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for her eyes, and American Apparel Hassid to outline, as well as for her necklace and hair.

Ring: Bamm-Bamm Rubble

Orly Snowcone as a base, with American Apparel Summer Peach for his skin, Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for his eyes and hair, CND Electric Orange with American Apparel Hassid to outline and for the spots on the hat.

Pinky: Bamm-Bamm's Club

Orly Snowcone as a base, with L.A. Girl Army Green for the club, outlined with American Apparel Hassid.

Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

It's a living.

NEW Limited Edition Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Polishes

So I went to Rite Aid on my lunch, and what do I see.....the NEW Sally polishes!! I love my Rite Aid, they are always up to date on the new collectionc. I only grabbed 3, for the rest looked very common, imo.

This is Problem Child. Which reminds me very much of OPI's Merry Midnight. I think of Problem Child, as Merry M. little sister. PC, doesn't seem to have as big of, or as much flakies compared to her big sis. Still this color is beautiful!

This is Golden Ticket. Since it's sheer, I layered it over Problem Child, and really like it!

This is my FAVORITE of the 3 that I got, It's Sequin Scandal. A very dark olive/army green, with gold & green tiny glitter and what may be teeny tiny iridescent flakies, but not many, so don't get too excited.

Makeup tutorial: Black kiss fai da te!

Come non completare questa settimana di look vampireschi con delle labbra all black?

Lo scorso anno alcune case cosmetiche avevano lanciato dei rossetti e gloss di questo colore, ma secondo me non è proprio un colore che si possa indossare ogni giorno e spendere per un prodotto da usare un paio di volte non è il caso.

Ecco allora come usare i cosmetici che già possediamo per farcelo da sole!



Io uso questo sistema anche quando voglio un gloss dello stesso colore del trucco occhi, semplicemente miscelo ad un gloss trasparente il pigmento o l'ombretto.

Per questo tipo di trucco è fondamentale che le labbra non siano screpolate e non ci siano pellicine perchè altrimenti si vedranno!

Consiglio quindi di applicare prima del trucco un burrocacao per una mezzora per ammorbidire le labbra e poi di rimuoverlo con una velina.
Se possibile la sera prima fate uno scrub delicato.


Cosa ci serve:

Elenco prodotti usati:

• gloss ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine (essendo nero il risultato da ottenere va bene qualsiasi colore)
• ombretto Kiko 20 nero mat
• matita trasparente per labbra L'Oreal Indefectible Lip Liner 700 Sheer Fidelity
• matita Dior Crayon Khol 099 Noir
• un contenitore per mescolare i prodotti
• uno stuzzicadenti

pennello:

• pennello piccolo per labbra

Procedimento:

Passo 1: contorno il bordo ESTERNO delle labbra con una matita trasparente che prevenga "cadute" di colore nelle pieghette (step fondamentale per tutti i rossetti rossi e scuri in generale)








Passo 2: con la matita nera (una qualsiasi per occhi ma con mina dura) disegno il bordo delle labbra, stando attentissima a non andare fuori dal contorno tracciato prima










Passo 3: con la matita riempio anche l'interno delle labbra













Passo 4: sfumo con le dita in modo da avere la base su tutte le labbra













Passo 5: nel mio contenitore faccio cadere una goccia di gloss e un pò di polvere di ombretto grattata con lo stuzzicadenti. Mescolo con lo stuzzicadenti i prodotti, deve venire un bel nero intenso, aggiungo ombretto fino al colore desiderato











Passo 6: con il pennellino stendo il gloss sulle labbra e... il trucco è finito!














Un piccolo suggerimento: se volete conservare il gloss, sia per rapidi ritocchi che per usarlo di nuovo in futuro, usate come contenitore un barattolino di qualche campioncino con il tappo a vite!
