Tutorial: Sunset on the Beach Look

Hey guys,

This is the latest tutorial that I've decided to re-upload from my old channel. This is one of my favorite looks when I created it last year, I love the contrast of the gold and purple. This is also one of my sister's favorite looks which she often asks me to recreate on her.

EYES:
- Two Faced Shadow Insurance
- Indianwood paint pot
- Amber Lights eye shadow
- Inglot #430 (true gold) eye shadow - Goldmine eye shadow would work too, although it wouldnt be as dramatic
- NYX "Milk" jumbo eye pencil
- Naked "Blue Duochrome" pigment - this comes from the Ivory Stack and actually has a number but I don't remember what it is. If you have Vellum eye shadow it would work too
- Cork eye shadow
- Brown Down eye shadow
- Carbon eye shadow
- Vanilla eye shadow
- Non-Conformist fluidline
- Inglot #379 (matte blue-purple) eye shadow - you could also use Parfait Amour eye shadow
- Smolder eyeliner
- Blacktrack fluidline
- Ardell "Demi Whispies" lashes (optional)


CHEEKS:
- Inglot #35 (neutral cantaloupe with silver shimmer) blush
- Inglot #57 (neutral pink-based brown with silver shimmer) blush

I hope you guys like this look as much as I do. Please send me photos if you try it out and I'll feature them on my blog. Thanks again

Nail of the Day: Tuesday 28th June, 2011

I decided to change my nail colour today because my previous nail polish had been chipping with the things that I had been during my week.

Yesterday was my 8 months with my boyfriend, Stuart, so I got him to pick out this nail colour for me. China Glaze "Gussied Up Green" is a blackened dark blue green which shines really bright when the light hits it. This polish is also from the Rodeo Diva Collection (2008) like the last nail polish I posted.

This was definitely my favorite polish from this collection because I don't own that many green nail polishes and I love the darker tone of this.

I really love wearing dark colours like this in winter. I like how they appear really dark on their own but when the light hits them the show up a flash of colour. What are your favorite polishes for winter?

Nail of the Day: Thursday 23rd June, 2011

This week I have been feeling really sick and I haven't been in too much of a happy mood so I decided to paint my nails to make me feel better. The nail polish I chose to use is called China Glaze "Wagon Trail" and is from their Rodeo Diva Collection from 2008. (I currently only have pictures from my old blog to post of my nail polish so I'll update this properly another time.)

As you can see it is a black with a deep golden shimmer. In some lights it can have an olive green look to it but its really is black and gold and is very unique.

I haven't found anything else like this in all my nail polish searching (mind you, I'm not as hung up on nail polish as some people).

I felt like this was the perfect colour for me at the moment because its been so cold and gloomy at my place the past few days with it being winter, I felt like I needed a dark base with a gold flash that might brighten up my day.

Tutorial: Smokey Silver with a Purple Pop

Ok, I'll be honest, I'm kinda cheating with this look considering I posted it on my other channel (GothidgeAngel) back in March of this year, but I really didn't want to see such a pretty look go to waste.

This is just a simple silver smokey look with a pop of purple on the lower lash line to give it something a little extra.
