I wanted to recreate these nails I wore a while ago cause I liked the glitter placement and playing with micro beads. I used the same techniques in my lizard inspired Godzilla nails seen here. I thought I’d do a tutorial and also change up the colour scheme with some gorgeous purples from Nail Pattern Boldness, plus add these sweet as hell 3D roses from Born Pretty.
I wanted to play with my new lip tar from OCC, the metallic one called Black Metal Dahlia. I thought I'd create a quick grungy eye look to go with it using the Naked 3 palette and some maroon tones from Inglot, with a shimmery touch form the Sugarpill Sparkle baby palette. I've really been enjoying my Naked 3 pallet for any pink, purple or red eye looks cause it does a really good job of adding a touch of sickness around the eyes. Because sometimes I like to look a little “ill" with my make up. ;D I really felt like adding a few tiny gold spikes to my lips and wearing this out to pizza at my friends house so I decided to test out a new adhesive called pros-aide. This is the first time I'm trying pros-aide out and honestly it wasn't exactly successful. I think that there is a bit of a learning curve and I'm going to practice using it so I can give you guys some good tips. At the moment it's just me fooling around with it. Enjoy!
If you love the beautiful shimmery shadows I used for this makeup check out Sugarpill's site here.

Ok, so it's quite obvious if you've ever seen my fingers that I really like bright ridiculously obnoxious glow in the dark colours. So I whipped them out again to create this in your face french tip manicure with daisies using dotting tools and some crystals in the centre.
