Sliver/Glitter Nails


Guuuyyss.. Now I'm totally loving this glitter fade out thing... This time I did it with silver glitter and a silver base instead of black and gold. I think I like these nails buutt I'll probably add some dots and strokes soon. I wanted to add rhinestones but I couldn't find any :/ sooo this will have to do for now.

I used a transparent (ish) silver polish for the base and then i painted the tips with my opaque silver polish. This is why it looks like its fading from daarrkkk (with looootss of glitter) to something lighter. After that, i dabbed on some glitter in a circular motion from the tip to about half of my nail. When everything was dry i painted one coat of my transparent glitter with the more sparse glitter particles. It's really simple and easy to do. P.s don;t forget your base coat and your top coat to seal everything in :)


I used the one on the left for the half of my nail-- this was the main glitter polish which is ontop of everything. The middle one is what i used as a base coat and then the one on the right is what i used for the tips.










I will definately do a makeup look next, its been a while. :) thanks for reading.

Black/Glitter Nails

Heyyy so I don't know how I feel about these nails but oh well.. They are quite divaish and they are reaaallyyy spppaarrrklyy. And the black part is matte sooo I dont know if I want to put a top coat on everything or not because that would take away the matte effect. I can't wait for my matte magic top cooaatt!! But anywayy these were quite simple to do but i had to try out a few things before I got what I wanted. I used 2 types of glitter polish-- one gold and then one transparentish one. I also used some shimmery silver nail polish and then my matte black.

On the base is my matte nail polish by sephora and then I went over that with my transparent glitter polish (from about half the nail to the tip) On top of that, i put the shimmery silver on the tips and that is what makes the glitter look extra extra shiny and sparkly. I applied the gold glitter nail polish on top of the silver and I went about halfway of the transparent silver polish. (I hope you get that) I think its basically as much glitter as you want. (and they are taking sooooo long to dry :/)


Okay so this is the black matte polish



This is what the silver on the tips and the transparent glitter looks like.


Finished look without a top coat. Looks kinda messy tho.
This is what it looks like with the top coat on. The black isn't matte anymore.




Yah that is basically it. Please dont forget your base coat especially when you are using dark colours on your nails or else they will get stained. 

Thanks for readdinnggg :)

Purple Gradient (Kinda) Nails

So this is another 2 in 1 day.. I don't even know what to call these nails.. They have glitter, they have silver they have purple they sorta fade out but i don't have an exact name for them. They were pretty easy to do but they took some time to do because I wasn't really sure of what i was doing.

I used my silver Sally Hansen polish, some purple shimmery polish and then a glitter nail polish.

So the base was the silver polish and then after that, i put one coat of the glitter. Next, i put on the purple shimmery polish from the tip to the middle in circular motions. I made it dry a bit and then i went back in with more of the purple polish. That is what makes it look really thick at the tips and then
it kinda fades out. There isnt really one legit way of doing these nails, it is just something you have to try out and see how you like it. After the purple dried, I went in with the glitter again and did the same circular thingyfrom the tip of the nail down. These nails are quite loud but you can use different colours to achieve this look. the most important part is the shimmery polish.

okay so below is the first coat-- silver Sally Hansen polish.
After that, i put on one coat of my glitter nail polish. You cant really see the glitter because of the lighting etc.


After that, I put on the purple polish from the tip down to about half of the nail. And then after i put a light coat of the purple nail polish from the bottom up (to give it that fading (ish) effect)



I like them a lot because they look really icy and cold and its something different. Please don't forget your topcoat to seal everything in :) 

P.s by painting the nail in a circular dabbing motion you will be able to build the nail polish at the tip and this is what makes it look like its fading out.

Silver/Purple/Black eyes

Hi Hi :) I have so much to catch up oonn.. There are a million and one make up ideas I have but I will get to them soon..
Annyywayy soo I bought some purple shadow I wanted to try out and I decided to pair it with a silver inner corner and a black outer corner.


This definitely isn't the last purple look I do, I'll probably do a purple and gold look soon. But anyway, I used silver on the inner corners, purple in the middle of my lid and then black on the outer corners. I blended the 3 colours with a goldish shadow which doesn't really show.

 I also lined the bottom of my eye with a silver pencil and then i lined my water line with black to make it pop. I also advise liquid liner if you want to do a look which as dark as this one because the liquid liner brings out the eyes better. Otherwise, it looks like your eye is being suffocated by all these dark colours. Oh and the eyeshadow kinda matches with the nails I did today (coming sooonn). I hope this inspires someone out thereee :) enjooyy

More Leopard Skin

Hey there. Okayyy sooo I'm really really liking this leopard skin thing :/ I don't know whhyy. So I did these nails wiithh my Metro Chic sephora nail polish (which i have been looking for foreverr) and my black matte nail polish. I made the squiggles smaller and less defined, there were squiggles in some places and in some other places there were spots and I didn't put any other colour in the center of the circles.  I think it looks nice :) I think I might do a glitter nail look when I take these off but I need to go get me some more glitter and some rhinestones so look out for thatt :) Also i have a million and 1 make up ideas, when I'm bored enough I'll get to themm.. enjoy these nails for noww. :)

This is the metro Chic nail polish which looks reaally really good on its own. i looooveee itt. such a great buy :)









P.s I'm not a professional, I'm not saying what I do is good or how I do it is the best. I think make up is fun sooooooo that is what I'm doing. Just some ideas for youuu :)

Neutral(ish) Gold&Black // Red Lip

So I decided to do something more toned down-- a gold and black eye, but it was looking too boring so I decided to spice it up with some red lipstick. I would probably do these eyes if i wanted to wear a red lip or any other bright overwhelming colour on my face. Its usually better to wear neutral colours on your eyes if you want to do a bright lip. You can also wear this eyeshadow if you feel like the colours in your clothes are overpowering and you don't want to look like a clown. Or if you just want to look "natural":)



This was what i put on first-- the gold colour





This is how I put on the black-- on the outer corners.




I put a nice shiny gold colour on the inner corners and a black colour on the outer corners. Because the colours were pretty neutral, i decided to thicken my eyeliner (make the line darker) and I drew a little wing in the corners. I just wanted to spice it up a bit. You can use this look if you are going somewhere a bit more formal or when you feel like looking grown :) because it isn't loud at all. Very classy. I blended both colours together with another shade of gold or tan (it doesn't have a name). I don't recommend blending with the same colour that you are using for the inner corner/outer corner. Also, you should highlight your brow bone (if you want the eyeshadow to go that high) with a different eyeshadow or else it would look like one big blob of eyeshadow.








For the lips, I actually used a matte lipstick because I wanted that look, but there are various types of red lipsticks/ lip glosses etc that you can use. There are also different shades of red you can use as well. I covered my entire lip with a bit of my loose powder, and then I lined them lightly with a brown pencil. After that, I put on about 2 coats of the lipstick. The red lip is not a must for this eyeshadow. feel free to use any lip gloss you please. But this is just another idea for eyeshadow incase you need some inspiration or are tired of your usual look. :)
