Nails.. again!
Yay, my first 'blog sale' buy!
Shout out to Cookie Baby for sending me this, and these gorgeous earrings!
I love love love this color. I don't know if it's because its pink (which is my favorite color) or if it's because I FINALLY got a color I did not have before! Which is an accomplishment for me because I have a lot of nail polish!
It was easy to go on, although I put this over a white base (Wet N' Wild) because two months ago I slammed my fingers in a car door, and there's still discoloration on two fingernails (and I didn't want the color to look off on those nails) so I put a basic color first.
I also had flash on, but it looks really similiar, just a little.. shinier. So anyway,
Pros: Easily on, cheap (usually $1), only two coats needed (which surprised me), it's pink (bonus for me..)
Cons: It dries sticky at first, and it needs two coats (I'm really lazy)
Other than that, I can't think of anything to add to this. I would recommend a top coat to this, just to keep from chipping (which is does, I've already chipped it once).
Color: 9/10
Price: 10/10
Overall: 8/10

First Eye loook!
I really need to trim my eyebrows, hm. Maybe I'll do that tonight.
Anyway, I was (attempting) a Summer-y, watermelon inspired look, but it kind of went down a different path... and I don't know. Eh, it's okay.
I used the following (products):
>> M.A.C. Paint pot in Painterly
>> NYX Ultra Pearl Mania pigment in Lime (I think that's what it's called, I had to look it up because I tore off the product sticker)
>> M.A.C. Zoom Fast Black Lash
>> Sephora eye crayon in green (510)
>> Manly 120 eye pallet (for the pinks and golden)
Other face products used:
>> E.L.F. concealer
>> M.A.C. Studio Fix powder in NW20
That would be my bare eye without product on. The first thing to do is prime the eye. Apply MAC Painterly to the entire eye, making sure you have a even, fully-covered lid before you apply shadow. Using a fluffy brush (213), apply your NYX pigment to the corner and lower eye, covering about 2/3 of the eye. Extend the pigment a little further towards the outside corner of your eye, making a little dip in the middle. Using a flat brush (239) take a bright pink shade (try MAC Passionate), fill in the rest of the eyelid with your pink shade, up to right below the eyebrow. Don't worry if there is a harsh line, it will go away once we blend the yellow in. Using a shading brush (275), take a golden color (try MAC Gorgeous Gold) and blend right on top of the line between the pink and green. Spread the colors evenly to rid eye of harsh lines.
