Valentine's Series: Nail Art #4

Hey there!
This is my last Nail Art Design for Valentine's Day, and again, it's on a nail wheel.
Here we go:

That's what you need:
- a base coat of you choice (I used Essence pro white french)
- a bright red color (I used p2 it's hot)
- a black creme polish (I used p2 eternal)
- a white tip painter (I used essence white tip painter)
- your favorite top coat (I used Essence nail art sealing top coat

That's how to do it:
1.  Use your base coat to protect your natural nails.
2. Paint all of your nails red, use as many coats as needed.
3. Add a black line over your tips, just as if you were doing a straight french tip manicure.
4. Separate the black and the red color by drawing a thin white line in between. Use either a tip painter or pour some white polish onto a piece of paper, pick it up with a toothpick and use that to create the thin line.
5. Seal the design with your favorite top coat.

This design was inspired by this look from the illamasqua throb collection *click*. In the collection the tips are white and the separation line is black, but I liked it better the other way round. Which one do you prefer?

Illamasqua "Throb" Trial

Hey everyone,
in this post *click* I posted a link to a pic *click* from the Throb Collection by Illamasqua, and I said I was gonna try to recreate it. Well, I did try it, but it didn't really work out, unfortunately. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be! So I didn't really manage to do it....well, there are a few pics I can post, so you'll just see some impressions :) I also took a Face Chart and did some sketches before I started, so you can see what I thought about how to do it :) You can enlarge all pictures by clicking on them :)

Have you ever tried to recreate a look and then it was way harder than you expected?! Tell me! :)

Eclipse inspired make-up

Hey guys, yesterday I went to cinema to see Eclipse, and it was great! Are you such a Twilight fanatic as I am? Since I was so happy about the movie, I immediately had to do an inspired look! I know that this look is very dark and definitely nothing for everyday, it's just an inspired look that isn't really meant to be wearable! It's inspired by both Rosalie and Jane. Rosalie wears a very thick eyeliner on the upper lash line in the movie and she has shimmery pink eyeshadow on without having a defined crease, but there's still a noticeable color transition. Jane, as most of you know, wears this very heavy, dark black smokey eye with a very heavy eyeliner on the lower lash line. They both wear a neutral lip, but Rosalie's is more bubblegum pink with shimmer.

I first applied a black pencil eyeliner all around my eye, leaving out the inner corner. This line can definitely be messy and pretty thick. Then I smudged the eyeliner on the lower lash line. For this you can either use a smudger that is on the other side of some eye pencils or a q-tip. I also applied the black eyeliner on my water and tight line to get the look even darker. Make sure to smudge your eyeliner into the lashes! The I applied a thinner line of gel eyeliner onto the upper lashline, over the pencil liner. I would not suggest using liquid eyeliner for this, because that wouldn't look the same as Rosalie's eyeliner. On the lid you wanna use a shimmery grey base first and then apply some frosty shimmery pinks over it. Your pinks should get darker toward the outer corner! I used three different pinks from my 120 palette. In the inner corner you wanna apply a frosty white color. When you're done with all of these steps, you want to take a q-tip and clean up, so the eyeliner has the shape you want it to have.

For the cheeks you don't want to use bronzer since vampires are always pale. I applied a shimmery light pink blush, but just very lightly. For the lips you wanna use a bubblegum pink listick with shimmer, in the best case a frost. I don't have a color like this, so I applied a pink lipstick and a frosty gloss over it.

I really hope you liked this inspired look! I know it's not really wearable, but it was so fun to create this! And it could be fun to wear this on Halloween...:)

Have you already seen Eclipse? Did you like it? I'd like to hear your thought on it!

I'll see you soon!

Bye, Misch
