Water Marbling

So i tried water marbling on my real nails and i think it turned out pretty good. I had played around with it in the past on fake nails but this is the first time i actually did it on my real nails. What do u think?

Pink Zebra Tipped Nails

I found this cute bag and pulled inspiration from it for a new nail look.



Here's what i came up with...



I first applied a base coat. Then i used a bright neon pink by Pure Ice called Flirt Alert. Then i painted the tips black, i used Macs Nocturnelle. Then with a nail art stripper brush i painted on the white stripes. Add a top coat and you're done. Enjoy!

Ocean Blues And Greens

I did a fun Summer looks using the Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer palette and the 88Matte palette.




Here are the palettes and the colors i used...This is the Shimer palette

Here is the Matte palette..



First i applied Urban Decay Primer Potion all over my lid and also under my lower lash line. Then i applied a NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk all over my lid and blended it up a little. Next apply color #1 all over the lid (blue). Then add #2 (green)in the crease and a little above. Next add #3 (Purple)in the outer corner blending into the blue and green forming the outer "V". In my inner corner i used #5 (lime green from matte palette)and blended into all colors, also adding it to the inner bottom lash line. On the outer bottom lash line i used #1 in the middle and blended it into #3 which i put on the outer corner. As a highlight i used #4 ( Nude fleshy color from matte palette)
As eyeliner i used Wet n Wilds Mega Liner,it is a liquid liner in 863 which is just a teal color on my upper lash line. I used the same liner on my lower lash line but i just painted the liner onto an eyeliner brush, let it dry a few seconds and then applied it. I also used lashes but u dont have to. If you are going to use them add a very thin line as close to your lash line as possible of black eyeliner, right where your lashes are going to sit before you apply them. Add mascara and you're done.

Review on Coastal Scents 66 Color Lip Palette and 10 Piece Blush Palette



I absolutely love this palette and its only 19.95 on the website (link at bottom of post) Some of the colors are shimmer, some are matte, and some have very fine glitter in them but they are all super smooth and arent sticky at all. I've included a picture of the swatches i did. Please keep in mind that the camera washes out the colors a bit so they are more vibrant than they look in the picture. Overall i would definitely recommend this palette to all you lip product lovers out there. There are so many colors and textures to choose from.


Swatches:



As for the Blush palette it is 16.95 on the website. There are 4 matte blushes and the rest are shimmer. These are extremely pigmented and actually stay on quiet a while. If you are looking for some great blushes you should try this palette.

I've also tried Pearl but i didn't get a picture of it, but its a very pretty iridescent White. Overall they are nice polishes. A few of them are sheer but after a couple coats they look very nice. I've worn the colors for up to a week with almost no chipping. Each are only $1 so go check them out.
