Crazy bird

I went out clubbing and wanted to do something with my eyes that was blue and pink. This is what I came up with.

I think if I did it again I would want the pink to be a bit more obvious, but I'm happy with everything otherwise. It was something different and cool for the night. Again, I can't tell you exactly what I used but it was mostly sugarpill and Ben Nye colours. Go look at their range if you want wonderful vibrant colours. 

In your face, Valentines

I entered a competition on facebook to win some Sugarpill stuffs which I'm not about to win but I thought that I would post some pictures here anyway.

This isn't actually what I was originally going to do. What I had been thinking of doing was a red/pink/purple army print mask thing. I tried that twice before I gave up on that idea. The second time I was almost up to doing the mascara before I decided it looked horrid.

Then I thought of this. I did the whole outline in a white eyeliner first to make sure it looked okay and filled the whole thing in with it as well (I don't have a jumbo eye pencil yet - it's on it's way, though!). Then I went over the outline with black eyeliner and then set that with black eyeshadow, pulling the eyeshadow in as I went around so that the inner part faded out. Then half over the black and half over the white that hasn't been coloured I went used a deep shimmer red, then bright red (Love+ from sugarpill) then a bright pink then a more white pink and another pink just over the lids of my eyes. Using magentric (sugarpill) and another red shimmer loose shadow I went over the pink & red parts. Regular eyeliner but I pulled it out quite far in the inner corners and added lashes. I went over the outline with a liquid liner, and went for a basic lip with some bright blush!

Buggity Bug

Everyone loves lady beetles! Having them as nails is even cooler than keeping one as a pet.

Well, I thought it was really cute. I had tried to do bug nails before I eventually did this one. This one was my first really good attempt but I had done it with white eyes previously. I like the yellow eyes better, but I love googly eyes that I have done (use the Bugs tag to find it). 

I used OPI - Crimson Carol for the red and just a regular black Art Deco nail art polish for the black. I used the brush for everything but the dots. I used a dotting tool for the dots. Fairly easy. The eyes were just from a really cheap wheel thing I got from ebay. 

I'm going slightly mad

So I was bored and home alone and wanted to try something a bit different. So I picked out some random colours and started applying them over my lids. Then I went a little bit more over the top. Then I went even more over the top and this is what I came up with:

I also discovered that the powder that I was using to set my foundation made my face look really odd in pictures but it looked fantastic in real life. Very weird. You can see I don't have mascara in one of the pictures, too. Whoops. This was using only Sugarpill colours.

Then I went to fix a couple of things and I was like "I wonder what it would look like if I extended this bit of colour? Ooh and if I added this? I really like this colour, I wonder where I can put it?"

Then this is what happened:

The verdict? I shouldn't be trusted home alone with make-up and nothing to do. I did wear this for another good 6 hours after I did it, though.
