Here’s my FOTD for today. I used all the shades from Dior 5 Couleurs Stylish Move for the eye makeup and the rest of the products can be seen on the bottom pic.
UDPP, Maybelline Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara, Dior 5 Couleurs 970 Stylish Move, NYX Mosaic Powder 02 Latte, YSL Pure Shine Sheer Lipstick 11, Dior Flower Blossom Illuminating Powder, Guerlain Lip Pencil Cupidon, Dior Eyeliner Pencil Precious Violet, NYX Mosaic Powder 09 Paradise
After all of those red Christmas manis I felt a need to have something a little more neutral on my nails. Color Club Worth The Risque is a perfect choice for that plus there’s something festive about it so it’s great for preparing for New Years Eve ;)
Worth The Risque is silver-y grey holographic polish. It’s quite thin and applies very well. Two coats is enough for an opaque result and it dries quickly. The holographic effect is not too strong but it’s still clearly visible. I love the quality of Color Club holographic polishes. They are all very easy to apply, well pigmented and they dry real fast.
In this mani I used: OPI NNS x2, Worth The Risque x2 and Seche Vite on top.
I decided to take photos of my face of the day without big explanations about the makeup and how it was done. The photos are of my eye makeup for today. I also included a photo of the products I used for this look. You can’t see my whole face but at least you can see what products I used to go with the eye makeup :)
For the eye makeup I used Dior 5 Couleurs Seascape with Make Up Store glitter eyeliner shade Purple Rain on the bottom lid. I used UDPP as a base on the whole upper lid and MAC Paint Pot Rollickin’ on the inner corner (and the camera washed out all the colors of my makeup again … grrrr).
If you have any questions just leave a comment and I’ll be glad to answer :)
Dior 5 Couleurs 250 Seascape, Make Up Store Glitter Eyeliner Purple Rain, NYX Mosaic Powder 01 Highlighter, MAC Paint Pot Rollickin’, MAC Lipstick Utter Pervette (Lustre), Wet n Wild Lipliner Milk Coffee, Helena Rubinstein Urban Beauty Shimmering Blush 01 Star Light (missing from the photo are NYX Mosaic Powder 02 Latte and Maybelline Colossal Volum’ Express mascara
Here’s a couple of photos of my Christmas makeup look. I apologize for the crappy quality of the photos. Light was lousy and camera washed out all the colors :/ I liked this look so much though I’ll probably do it again and take better pics next time.
I used Dior 5 Couleurs 569 Golds with YSL Colour Harmony For Eyes palette number 6. From Golds I used the two upper corner shades + the middle shade for blending. From YSL palette I used the shades 5 and 3. In this look I had light gold in the inner corner of my eye, YSL shade 3 in the middle and outer corner was dark green. The green changes into red’ish brown on the crease. The colors just don’t show too well in the photos. Liner is golden H&M Glitter Eyeliner and the mascara is Maybelline Colossal Volum’ Express.
I added pics of the eyeshadows and a swatch photo of Dior Golds too. Golds is highly pigmented and gorgeous golden palette.
This is my actual Christmas manicure, China Glaze’s stunning Ruby Pumps. This is the most christmas-y polish I own. I meant to do a little Konading too but i ran out of time. Oh well, Ruby Pumps is just perfect on it own :)
Näin joulunaikaan punaiset kynnet kuuluvat asiaan. Niinpä päätinkin tällä kertaa lakata kynteni Color Clubin Reddy Or Not sävyllä. Tämä on yksi täydellisimmistä omistamistani punaisista creme lakoista. Kirkas paloautonpunainen, oranssipohjainen sävy on todella näyttävä. Jos haluat omistaa ainoastaan yhden punaisen creme lakan tämä olisi erittäin hyvä valinta.
Christmas time is here and what would be a more perfect color for a mani than bright red? So here we go, Color Club’s Reddy Or Not. This is one of the most perfect red cremes I own. Bright, orange based, firetruck red shade. If you only want one red creme this is a great choice.
Reddy Or Not is also perfect quality. It applies like butter, is very well pigmented and dries fast. Two coats was enough for my nails.
In this mani I used: OPI NNS x2, Reddy Or Not x2 and Poshe on top.
My nail nail growing project has finally reached a point where I’m starting to be really happy with the lenght of my nails. Of course I’ve had to file them shorter every now and then cos of peeling and things but now I have pretty healthy and good looking nails. My nails just happen to be so thin and they break really easy so this is sort of the max lenght I can grow them in to without breaking. I still want to try and grow them a tiny bit longer just to see if I can ;)
On the side of my index finger nail you can see a toiletpaper-superglue fixing attempt cos the nail already started to tear. I also had to fix the middle finger and the right hand index finger nails too. I’ve been able to grow them for 3 weeks with the fixing now and soon I have to file the broken parts off. I just hope my other nails will stay without breaking and tearing.
I started my nail growing project in May by removing acrylic nails. After that my nails were in a terrible condition.
Green manicure once again :D This time I wanted to try my new Under The Mistletoe shade, the green glitter polish from Color Club’s Wonderland collection. Since removing glitter polish is still big pain in the butt (IMO) I decided to put regular polish underneath it and I chose to use Sally Hansen’s shade Glow.
Under The Mistletoe is a sheer green polish with a lot of silver glitter in it. It looked so sheer in the bottle I thought it would be a good idea to apply a couple of coats of Glow first and only one coat of glitter polish. This helps the removing process too. The gold shimmer on Sally Hansen’s Glow transformed the silver glitter in Under The Mistletoe into a more gold-ish shade. The effect doesn’t fully show in these pics but the result was really beautiful :)
In this mani I used: OPI NNS x1, Sally Hansen Glow x2, Under The Mistletoe x1 and Poshe on top as usual.
I got this Sinful Colors shade San Francisco from my trip to USA in August. Took me this long to try it out.
This is a really bright kinda poison green looking to me and it has a lot of micro-glitter in it. Shade is gorgeous and as a big green lover I just had to have it ;)
San Francisco is surprisingly sheer and it takes three coats for longer nails to be opaque. It also took quite a long time to dry but the cheap price and the stunning green shade makes the negative things much easier to handle. This lasted without chipping for several days and the removing wasn’t too bad either. Next time I’ll use two coats of base coat though cos this dyed my nails nasty green.
In this mani I used: OPI NNS x1, San Francisco x3 and Poshe on top.
Finally I have time to write my review about Revlon Runway Collection nails. I glued these to my sisters nails early November. The model is Sequins and the length is medium.
It was easy to find a right size for each nail and there was enough of these nails to have some spare ones too. The package includes everything you need. The package also has simple and easy to follow instructions printed on it.
Before applying the nails I buffed her natural nails lightly and wiped the dust off. Gluing the nails on was a mess at the first try and I definately need to practise that some more. I got glue everywhere and almost got my fingers stuck to my sisters hands. There was also quite a bit of air bubbles between the nails. So it didn’t go too well from my part.
My sister on the other hand was very pleased with the results. She said the nails look and feel very natural. Regardless of me messing up the gluing process the nails stayed on perfect for 10 days. After a week she filed them shorter and applied a coat of nail polish. The nails also didn’t fall off by themselves and she used acetone to soak them off.
I’d also like to mention that my sister has tried both acrylic and gel nails before and they both started falling off after a few days. So she was more than happy to see how well these worked for her.
I also only have a positive opinion about these nails and the air bubbles you can see in the photo have nothing to do with the quality of the nails and everything to do with me being a dumbass gluing them on ;) My sister has asked me to glue new nails on for her for Christmas and I hope I can do a little better that time :)
