Nails of the Moment - "Flirty Rockstar"

I am really, REALLY loving the Sally Hansen Xtreme wear polishes. I think I have... 8 now? Anyway, I painted my nails with "Flirt", and added a coat of "Rockstar Pink" on my accent nails. 

This is my "nail bye week". The week where each nail gets to the perfect shape and length. Next week, check my blog for my pre-Halloween "Candy Corn" nails. Eek! It's such an awesome concept. We shall see.

THEN, for the week OF Halloween, I'm going to experiment with nail design art. I have some ideas :]

Is anyone else incorporating the spooky holiday into their fashion?

I'd love to see!

Super fast EOTD!

I do this super fast when sleep is so much better than getting ready

This is Sidecar from the Naked Palette, and black Rimmer eyeliner. Oh, and L'Oreal Voluminous mascara.

I know, I know, my eyebrows. Whatever, when I'm in a hurry eyebrows is really not important lmao! anyway, just smudged the liner with the smudger that comes on the eyeliner. It's like a sponge. That's it, guided it where I wanted it and ta-da! I really like how it looks blue-ish. Very cool.

Also, I collaborated with one of my favorite YouTubers and we are doing a take on red wine and white wine. I got white wine, it's gonna be a good time ;] Look for it this weekend. I'm finally catching up on my blog reading!

Lots of Love,

Gold/Purple Nails

I guess I am subconsciously impatient for fall! My nails are such fall colors :]

Purple nails: 1 coat OPI "Lincoln Park After Dark", 2 coats Zoya "Faye"
Accent gold nail: 2 coats Sally Hansen "Mellow Yellow", 1 coat Zoya "Tanzy"

I loveeeee the gold microglitters in these Zoya polishes. And just for reference they are from Zoya's Summer Collection 2011

Lots of Love,

Captain America - Super Soldier

PART 2

Here is part 2, the more literal of the series. Part 1 was classic 40's era makeup, and this is WAY more costume makeup [which btw, is my favorite makeup to do]

Here is the inspiration pic -

Here is my recreation -

I just did the eyes, because the face wouldn't really have been anything. No lipstick, nothing like that. Had I done my face I probably would have contoured with a gray toned powder. I wanted to keep it looking "dirty" - I am a soldier. Soldiers get dirty. I wanted to keep some of the star in the look, so I went with disconnected star points for my outer corner. I lined that with red to keep the red in the look as well.

Since the inspiration picture is so dark and dirty, I kept it just that. I used a bunch of grays and blacks, I used a bright silver on the inner corner for drama, and my lid just a very dark blue. I blended everything out with typographic from MAC. It's just a dark gray. This would be my Captain America super soldier war-paint. 

This was so much fun. Another cool movie needs to come out so I can do some more :]

Tomorrow is going to be an AOTD and NOTD, so stay watchin' for that!

Love you all, 

XOXO M
