Luminous Marshmallow Wedding Nails

Here's another of my posts on Polishpedia for my nail art addiction section of their blog.

This fanciful manicure with simple elegance and boisterous bling is called Luminous Marshmallow Wedding Nails. I made a custom polish out of Sugarpill Lumi and Eye Kandy Marshmallow sprinkles to go over Sally Hansen White on to make glitzy, holographic nails that complement the mega awesome Swarovski crystals.


The delicious sparkly Swarovski Crystals I used are from Born Pretty Store and if you want that much bling in your life click here and use the discount code MIHW10 at checkout for 10% off your whole order.

Star Trek Movie Makeup

I escorted my friend to the latest Star Trek movie as is tradition and thought I'd create a Sci-fi makeup look using colours that I associate with science fiction.

I went for blues and silvers and used Sugarpill Tiara, Lumi, Mochi and Velocity with some Marshmallow sprinkles from Eye Kandy for a starry alienesque look

I couldn't resist mixing up a custom colour for metallic silver lips too. So I combined OCC Clear with some Tiara loose pigment and a touch of Iced. I love how shiny and metallic it came out and it lasted really well on the lips.


Feel free to click on the images for higher quality and better colour.

If you want the gorgeous metallic silver or duo-chormatic white pigments and vibrant blue shadows I used in this look, check out Sugarpill.com


Enjoy!






This is just me posin' with my nails for fun! They may be published on Polishpedia here.

Golden Royalty on Polishpedia

My latest post for Polishpedia as a guest artists is some funky lip art! I love to do designs on the lips and I'd definitely have to say it's my favourite canvass.

I titled the design Golden Royalty because the colours really had a regal feel for me. I love the way 
these complementary shades jump out at you and Sugarpill's Goldilux just goes amazingly well with the purples of Makeup Forever Aqua liner 08 and Eye Kandy Sour Grape sprinkles.


The fabulous metallic gold eyeshadow I used on my lips from Sugarpill can be bought here, along with many other phenomenal bright and colourful eye shadows!

Summer Date Night Makeup

I whipped up this look for a fun summer night out and thought I'd share it with you. I went for bright flirty colours with a wide eyed look and a funky eyeliner shape created with Sugarpill Bulletproof eyeshadow.

For the lid, I blended together some of my favourite bright Sugarpill eyeshadows in Dollipop and Buttercupcake to make a gorgeous orange colour and still have the colours peak through either side of the crease. I added to that some Birthday Girl Chromalust loose shadow and some Inglot shades in to highlight the brow bone and tear duct, namely #111R which I've been loving lately and an old favourite in #496 DS.

I felt like going glossy and doing something special for the lips, so I used Coloured Raine Intimidate and patted Sugarpill Birthday Girl over them, then to add extra sparkle, I applied Benefit Back to the Fuchsia Ultra Shine lipgloss.

Feel free to click on the images for higher quality and better colour.

Spring Fling!

To celebrate the end of spring and beginning of summer, at least in the northern hemisphere, I created this fresh and colourful makeup. I used bright Sugarpill shadows that scream spring to me, like Mochi and Acidberry with Buttercupcake and a peachy Inglot shadow to offset the cool tones. 

For the skin, I chose a warm toned matte blush to play off the eyeshadow and kept the skin healthy and glowy with my favourite highlight M.A.C Whisper of Gilt. To finish off I used a fresh lipgloss from Inglot that I love for an enhanced version of my natural lip colour.


For the bright and summery eyeshadows used in this look go to Sugarpill.com!


Enjoy!

The Great Gatsby Makeup & OOTD

I went to the Great Gatsby the other night and dressed to the 9s for the occasion with a 20s inspired makeup. I decided to add some colour to the black and white look with some gold on the lid and in the waterline.

So I created a traditional 20s style shape with Sugarpill Bulletproof blended with Inglot #451 pearl and added some dimension with an Inglot golden shadow in #430. The face was kept pale, just the way I like it and I highlighted with Sugarpill Tako to keep the skin matte and gave the apples of my cheeks a little matte pinkish flush with Bourjois little pot blush in Cendre de Rose Brune. The lips are a Clara Bow-esque shape of the era and I used Channel Rouge Allure Velvet in 38 La Fascinate for a matte red pout.


For the best black eyeshadow and purest matte white ever, grab Sugarpill Bulletproof and Tako from Sugarpill.com.


Enjoy!







Outfit

White tulip ruffled dress
White thigh-high lace-top stockings

For the themed outfit, I went for classy all white with a touch of black because this dress was the closest to 20s fashion in my closet. I did get a new, very necessary accessory; I bought the feather boa from the $2 shop (dollar store in US) to add to the outfit and I added the white flower to my hair. Don't ask me what I did with my hair because I just coaxed it up somehow and shoved it in a really loose side bun with a hair tie and a couple of pins. And this fancy occasion was a great excuse to wear my Steve Madden Partyy-R satin pumps with crystals on the heels to match the glitz on my nails which may be posted on Polishpedia soon.
