Today's Project: A Nail Art Recreation- Holdiay Edition

Hey everyone! So today I wanted to do a holiday nail for Christmas being tomorrow. Looking through images online I found a few that I really liked but this one really stood out to me. I decided to recreate this nail art. I was never really good at "art" and "creativity". Turns out, I'm still not. Anyway my version came out a little "messy" but you can still tell my interpretation of the design. Anyway I thought I'd show you the original I tried to recreate. Disclaimer: This is not my image. I just tried to recreate this design.

Of course, the most trouble I had were the leaves. Anyway, I just wanted to show you my holiday manicure for Christmas this year. Let me know if you'd like to see a nail art design for New Year's. Comment below about what your fabulous five fingers will being wearing to Christmas dinner. Thanks guys and gals!

Love yall!

Holiday Snowflake Nails

What's up, everyone? So yesterday I painted my nails and I thought I'd share this cute holiday design with yall. I was looking around on the internet and found a few pictures of holiday nail art. I wanted one that was really simple and didn't take a lot of time. So I actually found this pic that inspired my present manicure.

I found this design really pretty, but also really detailed. I loved the snowflakes and just the creativness of it. Anyway, I'm not too good at drawing and keeping my handing super steady, so I decided to turn to my Salon Express. If yall would like a review or tutorial on how to do it, let me know. Anyway, it came with five plates and I found a plate that had a snowflake-like design. I really wish they would've had something like in the inspired picture, but oh well. First I painted my nail with a base coat because the red polishes tend to stain my nails. Then I started by painting my nails with the Sally Hansen Diamond Strenght nail polish in the shade Honeymoon Red.

After appyling two coats of that and letting it completely dry, I got out my Salon Express and picked my plate. I used the SE20 plate, by the plate. Here's a pic of it.

Now you can see which design I chose. I next took my ole' white striper and painted the three "snowflakes". I scrapped the excess paint away and transfered to my stamper. From there I put that on my thumbs and repeated on the other hand. Next for my ring fingers, I used my white striper to paint only the big "snowflake". I then scrapped, transfered and put it on my both of my ring fingers. Lastly, I used a topcoat after everything was dry and I was done. Let me know if you want more holiday nail post. Oh, I almost forgot. Here is the finished product.

 Well there you go. I hope yall enjoyed this little fun tutorial. I had a lot of fun making it for you guys. Leave comments below on what you think and maybe some future post you'd like to see. Happy Holidays!

Love yall!

Blue & Gold Eye Shadow Blogtorial

Blue and Gold Eye shadow Blogtorial

What you’ll need:

Products:

Eyelid Primer/ Cream Eye shadow

Brownish-Gold Shadow

Yellow-Gold Shadow

Navy Blue or Dark Blue Shadow

Highlight Shadow or Pigment

Mascara

Brushes:

Flat-shader brush

Domed-crease brush

Fluffy blending brush

Optional:

Eyeliner

Lip gloss or Lipstick

1)      Start off by priming both of your eyes with an eye primer or cream shadow. Make sure to prime the eyelid all the way up to the brow. Since I don’t own a primer, I used a white cream shadow. I found it really made the colors pop.

2)      Taking the brownish-gold color, using a flat-shader brush, lightly pat the shadow onto your lid.

3)      Next, take the yellow-gold color. I used the yellow-gold from my Color Me Glow Palette that I got at Walgreens for $.99. I did a haul a while back on it. Take this color on your flat-shader brush and apply it on the lid over the brown-gold color, focusing on the inner 2/3 of the eye lid.

4)      Using your Dark or Navy Blue, use the domes-crease brush to start applying color to your outer crease. Build it up as you go. For the blue, I used Skeletrina by Tokidoki. I got mine for $15 at Sephora. You can get it here: http://www.sephora.com/product/productDetail.jsp?skuId=1217462&productId=P257114&_requestid=141202#!keyword=skeletrina

5)      Finally, apply a highlight color below the brow bone. I used a shimmery white. Next, line your lower lashes with the navy and gold. Taking the navy blue, I line my outer half lower lashes, and with the yellow-gold shadow I lined my inner half lower lashes.

6)      Lastly, apply mascara. Any color could work. I think black would darken the look. You could also you gold, too for extra shimmer. I used navy blue mascara. It gave the look something different than if I would’ve used black.

Optional: Use an eye liner to darken the look or add some shimmer.  You can use just about any color you want. I didn’t use eye liner, but I think a black, gold, or navy liner would look really well.

To Complete the Look:

1)      Use a light pink, natural, or nude lip stick or lip gloss. I think it would be better to use a natural lip instead of a bold one, because a bold lip will draw away attention from the eyes. I think something with a gold undertone would look really nice. I used a lip gloss to complete my look. It’s a Liplicious from Bath and Body Works, in the flavor Sparking Plum. This color is basically a reddish-purple plum color and it tastes just like a plum, to me. My only problem with this lip gloss is that I can’t keep it on. I end up eating the lip gloss off my lips before I get out the door.

2)      Use a light blush or bronzer. I find that the blue and gold reminds me of a sailor look. You can use the bronzer to get that tan sailor look, if that’s what you’re going for.

I hope yall really enjoyed this “blogtorial”. I just made that word up, but I think that’s what I’ll call them from now on. I really worked hard on this tutorial so leave comments below, and let me know what you think. Keep your eyes open for more upcoming “Blogtorials”.  Any request?
