Twinkle!

Hello my lovely followers :)

Today I bring you a look I did over the weekend. I was off to a going-away-party for a girl I worked with, and wanted to play with one of my new sleek palettes. I used the sparkle palette and impressed myself with how the look turned out.

Its actually a really simple look and easy to achieve :)

I had already been drinking when I took these photos as I waited for my friends to arrive, apparently I was too unsteady to take any decently focussed photos lol.

Please, pleease, pleeeeease click the images to see the true beauty of these colours! :)

^^ Twinklies ^^ :D

EYES:

• Sleek Twinkle Eyeshadow (lid)
• Sugarpill Poison Plum (crease, lower lashline)
• Sleek Cranberry Eyeshadow (just above crease)
• MAC Vanilla Pigment (inner corner)
• Jordana Fabuliner (upper lashline)
• MAC Blacktrack Fluidline (waterline)
• Maybelline Falsies Mascara

I'm going out for dinner tonight, better go get ready!! :)

Let me know what you think of this look!

Thanks for looking

Inglot Colour Play

Here's a quick look I threw together last night, y'know.. just for fun.

I used the Inglot palette I made, a post about that (including swatches) can be found here.

This look used all 5 colours from that palette, with the addition of Sugarpill's Poison Plum layered over the purple Inglot colour in the crease as it needed some extra *oomph* :)

Let me know what your thoughts are on this colour combo, or if you'd use the same colours differently.

Thanks for stopping by :)

OPI Stars Align Nail Apps -mini review-

Hey guys,

Today I'm sharing a mini post with you about OPI's Nail Apps. Many brands a releasing their own versions of these, another popular one being Sally Hanson Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips.

Just to point out, this is the first time I have ever tried anything like this, so I wasn't exactly sure the best way to go about it. But I did my best, and here are the results:

I love the way these look from a small distance, but up close, there is much to be desired. I was trying to get them done quickly, probably the main reason they aren't perfect.

The bottoms of the apps are very square, and as I was trying to get them to fit my nails properly, they all ended up looking different. Also, there were a few that I had bubble issues with, being near impossible to smooth them out for a flawless finish.

PRO'S:

• Large variety of fun designs available.
• Generally, they last longer (on me, at least) than to wear normal nailpolish.
• They don't chip.
• Make nails feel thicker and stronger.

CON'S:

• A little time consuming, at least for beginners.
• Difficult to file the excess off.
• I could often feel the tips snagging on things, or would get a bit of lift in some corners of the tips.

Would I buy again? Possibly. A definite yes if there was a design I absolutely loved and couldn't live without.

I am hoping to be able to try the Sally Hansen ones at some point. Considering they aren't sold here, to my knowledge, I shall be stalking Ebay for some in the future!

Have any of you tried this type of nail product? What are you thoughts? What brand would you recommend?

FAVOURITE nail combo!

When it comes to nails and nail polishes, I would be considered a beginner or newbie...

I was never that big on doing my nails, I guess I found it a bit tedious, and didn't really see the artistic side of it.

I've slowly been buying more and more polishes, and getting into it little by little.

Here is possibly my favourite combo everrr, or well.. at least so far.

OPI INK

NFU OH 52

My ring finger has a coat of China Glaze Matte Magic.

Incredible glowy flakes of magic floating in a lost sea of Ink

I wish my photo's did this justice!

When I had this on my nails, I just couldn't stop myself peering down at them. The gorgeousness amazed me :)

As I live in Aus, and NFU OH is nowhere to be seen.. I was lucky enough to find it on ebay one night, and I made damn sure I got that nail polish! Boy am I glad I did!

Let me know in the comments what you're fave combo is!

Oh, and if anyone can help me.. I'm in the search of a totally amazing lime green nail polish! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for stopping by!

Much love
