FOTD: Deep Primary Colors

My face today was inspired by the colors in my leopard shirt that I got a last week. Normally I'm not much of an animal print person but I thought the colors were really interesting together, Burgundy, Navy Blue and Mustard Yellow. I wasn't sure how well the combo would turn out in an eyeshadow look but I was quite happy with how it turned out. 

FOTD: Tropical Face On A Snowy Day

The other day I was perusing photos on Beautylish  and came across this one photo that caught my eye. It was by Olivia D (click for photo) it was your traditional neutral with winged liner but with a twist. It had green under the eye and purple brows. Well with my love for purple brows I had to try it. Plus I'm down for anything that goes with purple brows.

 Oh yeah did I mention it goes with my new purple hair!

Neon Ombre/Gradient Nail Tutorial

I have been really wanting to try out ombre nails and since I'm on vacation and my manicure is going to last more than a day it's the perfect time. I chose neon yellow and orange because every time I flip on the Olympics inevitably someone is wearing those neon yellow Nike's. Guess the colors are stuck in my head.

If your inept at nail art like me this is a really easy way to spice up a manicure. It's a technique that can be easily done on short and long nails.

FOTD May 3rd: NikkieTutorials Neon Nights Inspired

So earlier in the week I watched Nikkie Tutorials video Neon Nights (video below) and loved it!
I was excited to find a way to wear the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on pencil in Woodstock that I had revived in my MyGlam bag and thought score an other way to wear it.

Mardi Gras Inspired Tutorial

Fat Tuesday is here again which means the end of Pączki season in the bakery... Thank god! So to celebrate I wanted to do a Mardi Gras Themed look using the Mardi Gras colors,Green, Gold, and Purple. I think that the Mardi Gras colors are one of my favorite color combos.

FOTD February 11th

I decided to play around with this Yellow shadow that I have had for a while bet didn't really know what to do with it. Crayon yellow isn't exactly a color you see on people everyday.  It's kind of a colorful twist on a pin-up cat eye look.  I'm tapping into "The Secret" and using my powers of bright sunny color and positive thinking to will spring here earlier. Oh my former Science & Spirit teacher would be so proud with that comment.

NOTD Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Rare (part 2), with Barry M Crackle.

yes I am quite possibly the worlds worst manicurist.

So decided to try out the neon yellow Illamasqua with the black crackle. I added a maroony purple with silver crackle as an accent. I think it gives that 80's feel.

NOTD Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Rare

While In New Your City last week I picked up some things at Sephora. I had never tried anything from Illamasqua and then I saw this color and couldn't resist. I was immediately draw to the bright neon construction worker yellow. The color however looks best in white or daylight, it doesn't look as neon under incandescent light bulbs, but out in the sun light it is full neon day glow.

The finish of the polish is a satin finish, which i wasn't too much of a fan of so I just added a glossy topcoat. I have been wearing the polish for about 4 days now and it wears very well, with little peeling or chipping, and I am hard on my polish with my hands in dish water a lot at work, and home.

I tried the polish with an accent nail with white crackle over it but it only seemed to wash out the bright vibrancy of the yellow. I think next time I will try it with a black or deep blue crackle.

Dramatic Blue With a Pop Of Yellow

I got inspired and I created this Bright and bold blue and yellow eye look. I wore it to work the other day and everyone loved it so I wanted to share it with you.
