SunSet Lip Art ft OCC, Sugarpill & Eye Kandy

I had a go at simulating the beautiful burst of colours that appear as the sun goes down. I started with OCC lip tars to created a gradient lip and then added some gorgeous metallic Sugarpill pigments and Eye Kandy glitters to add an extra sparkly reflective effect of the sun shining at ya!

Enjoy!

GRWM Birthday Barbie French Tip Nails ft OCC & Sally Hansen

Here's the last part of my GRWM Birthday edition with the nail tutorial for the pink and white french tip nails to match the makeup tutorial and outfit which is here.

I really love the OCC Anime nail polish but it freaks my camera out, something rotten and looks a lot more hot pink than it is in real life. the photos below don't show the colour as it really is but the nails still look cool anyway.

Enjoy!

Neon Night Lip Art for Crown Brush blog

An amazing makeup artist Karla Powell, whom I respect and admire greatly, featured my Golden Royalty Lip Art on Instagram recently. I was absolutely flattered and honoured to be featured on her IG page and another perk was that her attention caught the eye of CrownBrushUK. Karla asked me on behalf of Crown to create a lip art tutorial for their blog and I gladly said yes. 

So I set about designing a dramatic nighttime neon lip creation and even asked my boyfriend to help me choose some bright colours and I even used some glitter for extra impact.


Click the picture below or here if you want to see the step by step pictorial on the Crown Brush UK blog.

Thanks again Crown Brush UK for letting me have fun with the Crownbrush takeover blog post.

The liquid lipsticks I used from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics can be purchased here or at Sephora in US.

And the glitter can be bought at the Eye Kandy website here.

I have many more lip art designs for your viewing pleasure if you care to click here.

Teaming up with Polishpedia!

I've been teaming up with polishpedia as one of their new nail artists to publish posts on "the nail art for polish addicts" blog. Here is the first publish article by yours truly and I hope to have many more.

Ultra Violet Radiation

I had to bust out my other new OCC nail polish called Radiate. I envisioned it under Different Dimensions Social Suicide and along side Color Club's Ultra Violet. I really love the contrast of the totally neon orange (the photos don't do it justice), the purple (with a subtle green shimmer) and also the black and white glitter against the orange background too. Actually now that I look at it Radiate and Social Suicide would make a great Halloween nail combo.

I had to add some studs since I had purple ones from dollarnailart.com and also some Hex glitter that reflects orange and green to go with the whole look.

You can get Different Dimension custom blend polishes from Missi Barry's Etsy store here.

Kiss & Mötley Crüe Gig Lips

This is the lip look I did for the Kiss & Mötley Crüe Gig. I wanted a really dramatic red and black lip to go with the glam look which has it's own post here, complete with OOTD. 

This is the first time I wore my new Lime Crime Candy Apple Carousel gloss and it blended deliciously with the ombre lip I created and the sparkle and shine really punched up the OCC lip tars, NSFW and Tarred.

And here's the lip art with tutorial.

Feel free to click on the images to see higher quality versions.


Enjoy!

Tutorial

Step 1. Thickly line edge of lips and fill in corners with black pencil. I used Urban Decay Perversion eyeliner pencil. 

Step 2. Fill in centre of lips with red pencil and blend with black. I used MAC Cherry lip pencil. 

Step 3. Apply red lipstick over centre of lips. I used OCC Lip tar in NSFW. 

Step 4. Fill in outer edge of lips and blend black lipstick with red. I used OCC Lip tar in Tarred. 

Step 5. Layer red lip gloss over centre of lips and blend with border of black. I used Lime Crime Carousel gloss in Candy Apple.

Glitzy Pink Leopard Nails

I love obnoxiously pink bright nails and my leopard print addiction continues with inspiration from Robin Moses Nail Art via her Bright Pink Leopard nails seen here on Youtube. I'm still on a stud craze thanks to Modnails too, but I can't help it, I love 'em so much.

I used an eyeliner brush that I trimmed (knowledge also gained from robinmosesnailart) and painted the leopard print design that way instead of my previous bobby pin and tooth pick method. The best thing is that my OCC Anime and Different Dimension A Love Hue polishes arrived just in time for me to use them for this design and damn do I love them!

You can get Different Dimension custom blend polishes from Missi Barry's Etsy store here.
