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. 

Completely dotty

So after I cut my nails off I was a bit stuck with what exactly I could do with them. Cause they're TINY now! (For me, anyway) They haven't been this tiny since November last year when I had to cut them off for hospital placement.

Eventually I remembered that I had wanted to do a polka dot look, but I couldn't do what I originally had wanted with nails this short. So I thought "Hm, why not just do lots of dots?". The result was something that someone's mum said was "aboriginal art" but I thought just looked cool.

Now for the big question: What did I use? Base colour is Color Club - Fashion Addict. Going from the bright green (that you can barely see on the edges of the nail) China Glaze - Paper Chasing, China Glaze - Frostbite, China Glaze - Hey Sailor, China Glaze - Purple Panic (Neon), China Glaze - Solar Power (that's the yellow, so you can tell where we are in the progression), Revlon -  Tidal Wave and Essie - Limited Addiction.

How did I do it? With a dotting tool that I got for super cheap from Crown brushes. (I also have one somewhere that I got from ebay for super cheap) Then all you need is a bit of patience. I placed the colours out in the order that I needed them, about one drop per colour, then I dipped the dotting tool in it and dotted it on my nails. Keeping the lines straight is the biggest challenge. 

Something less outrageous

Today I've got something more subtle. Or subtle for me, anyway. Nice and purple, which I think looks good with any eye colour. I haven't done my eye brows because I forget to do them most of the time. 

I actually did this ages ago, so I'm unsure of exactly which colours I used but I do remember that two of the purples used were from a Maybelline duo (or trio?) that had a light silver purple that was shimmery and a darker purple. It was the first purple eyeshadow I ever found. The eyelashes I'm wearing are from Chi Chi.

Purple and red fun

Make-up look today because I cut my nails off and it makes me sad to look at them. I will post pictures of the latest manicure in a day or two.
 In the meantime this is a purple and red look I did a while ago.

Apologies about the weird colour of the last one. It was too dark so I tried to fix it and I just made it weird then I couldn't work out how to make it better. I suck at operating photo programs. 

Anyway, as per usual I can't tell you what colours I used because I don't have the names. I can safely say I used Love + from sugarpill for the red. That is all.

(For the record it is REALLY hard to type with nails this short. Who would have thought that short nails made my typing abilities worse? I prefer not being able to feel the tips of my fingers.)

No one is safe!

My brother's girlfriend suffers so much! Poor girl. I keep her from spending time with my brother just so I can do her nails whenever she comes over. Something fairly straight forward this time and quite easy to do, but it looks really effective!

This hasn't been cleaned up properly yet because I'm really bad with that. I don't colour within the lines so to speak. I always make sure to give the cuticles a really good moisturise before I start to help the nail polish come off without killing the cuticles. 

I've used OPI Designer Series - Desire, OPI Designer Series - Sapphire, Color Club - Wild at Heart. Then I used a plate by Bundle monster #21 for the lace pattern with American Apparel - Hassid. 

I don't think this picture does it justice. It looks AMAZING on her nails. I almost wish I had done it on myself (I would have done something similar if the plates had designs big enough to cover my whole nail).
