Fun Summer Nails

Hello my amazing readers! How are you on this wonderful day? Summer is the perfect time for experimenting with fun trends. I don't really post much about nail art, nail varnishes or really anything to do with nails, but I loved the way these nail varnishes go together. I used to wear nail varnish on a regular basis, but was unable to wear it for a long time because of my guitar class at school. for those of you that play, you know how the stings can chip the varnish really easily,so it's easier o go without. Oh well, its not a heartbreaking loss :P

I used two coats of a bright orange red varnish, and layered one coat of a multi-coloured glitter varnish. The glitter polish is one of my favourites now.I though that I would need to put on at least three coats, but as you can see in the picture, one coat was enough!



 


Here are the varnishes that  used for this look:





Claire's Cosmetics Nail Polish in Stiletto

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Rockstar Pink



Well, that's it for now! If you would like more of these types of posts, feel free to let me know. Until then, have a wonderful day.



 Happy Painting

Makeup For Glasses

Welcome back, how has the week been for all of you? I hope it went well. I’ve decided to put up two posts today, so look out for the next one ^_^ The posts on my blog have been coming out every few days due to the fact that I’ve been rushing round everywhere. Well, on to today’s post!
Some people that wear glasses think that they have to go bare-faced when wearing their specs. Well, the truth is that you can still wear glasses and wear makeup, it’s a no-brainer. I know that it can be difficult wearing makeup with glasses, because of the lens glare, smooshed eyelashes, and any other issues. However, a few tricks can be applied to bypass these problems. With glasses, any look can be modified, but do not think that this tutorial is the only way. Experiment 
 until you discover the right looks for yourself.

I decided to make my second makeup demonstration for the bespectacled, but these looks can be achieved for those who do not wear glasses. The amount of makeup being applied would have to be reduced, in order to allow for the looks to work. I put more eye makeup on because my glasses do not have a non-reflective coating, so it is harder to notice the pigments with the glare. If you happen to have a non-reflective coating or even something remotely similar to Crizal lenses, you can use a less amount of eye products, as it will show up slightly better. Now, put on those specs and get moving!

 


Step One : To start, apply a good concealer underneath your eyes, and set it with powder. This is a good step to take, as glasses usually cast dark shadows under the eyes, though dark circles are not present.
