Do You Sea Those Green Eyes?

Wow, when I blog I really think I am so funny. I know I’m really not, sorry guys for all my lame jokes haha.

In fact I do not have green eyes, and yeah I spelled see like the water (sea) as a play on words about a sea green coloured eye makeup look. Was it funny? Probably not. Does it look good though? I think so.

I used Wet N Wild i-Shimmer retractable eye pencil. It is a sea green eyeliner with sparkle in it, and is called number 969 or 696, since it is a pencil I cannot tell which way is up or down. I really like the smooth creamy feel of this pencil, and although generally I make a mess with eyeliner this one was fairly easy to use.

I used Wet N Wild “color icon” eye shadow in Pride. This is a six colour set, including three matte shadows and three high-pigment shadows. They are also in the sea green and blue range, and it is no wonder because I bought the two products together. There are two whites, one shimmer one not, and the shimmer seems a slightly off white almost cream or ivory. Then two sea greens, one with shimmer that is a bit more dull where as the matte one is brighter (hence the high-pigment). Then there are two navy blues, one with shimmer one not, but in this case I think the shimmer one is slightly brighter and the matte more dull. 

I only used the sea green shimmer shadow in this eye look. I think what really makes it is the mascara. This mascara is wonderful, but only a sample size. I got it as a gift with purchase at Clinique (where I buy face wash and such) and now I know to always plan my purchases. I have gotten great luck every single time I get a free sample size mascara from Clinique. I literally live of them. They are my favourite mascara but much too expensive for me to buy a full size tube. I just wait and plan my face wash buying until there is a gift with purchase.

This on is called Clinique “high impact” mascara. I just really love everything about it. The colour is 01 Black and the brush is amazing. It applies super thick, but not in a clumpy way. It always makes me look like I have such dark, full, lush lashes. they look so long and healthy too. The other thing about this mascara is that it does not look too fake. Like I said, they look dark and full, but they do not look like each individual lash is perfectly defined, which I find could look fake.

So, there we have it, my makeup for the other day.

Nailene "Starry Night" Tip Fakes

So here are some recent fake nails I have been wearing. Unfortunately I had a less than stellar experience, which for me is unusual with Nailene fakes. Normally I really enjoy them, they fit very well and are simple to apply. These were still very simple to apply, but the wear was not comfortable.

The size of the nails did not fit me correctly, they were Medium Length and I typically prefer Sport Length or Short. So right away they were annoying me being too long. And since they have a design on the tip, I could not just trim them there or else I would lose the tips.

Then, they felt really wide and were hurting my nail beds to keep on. I ended up only lasting about two days and then the pain did not subside so I had to remove. Removal was torture this time around. It was very difficult to get them off and I caused more pain to my poor fingers.

Needless to say this was not my greatest experience with Nailene Fake Nails.

Now normally I have great experiences, as you can see in a few of my multiple Nailene posts here and here.

I did file them to as short as I could without losing the entire tip, but overall was not happy with wearing these fakes. They look really pretty but the wear was too painful for me to last long with these on.

Better luck next time right?

Guest Nails

Over the weekend I found myself a super cute assistant! After a family baby shower we ended up back at my place, where of course the nail polish is strewn all across the house. Immediately we found an activity while our mothers chatted...

We spent easily over an hour going through which of my polishes stamped over which. I learned a lot because I am constantly struggling with now knowing what colours show up over each other. This little session helped tremendously!

My new assistant (who is currently replacing Mommy as my hand model for today) was so sweet and had tons of suggestions for colours I should try. And she kept getting what we called "button hair", where her hair got caught in the button on the back of her dress! So cute!

Of course the swatching session would not have been complete without doing my little assistant's nails after..
She chose this right away, knowing exactly what she waned (which is a pretty hard decision when you are faced with about 15 image plates to pick from, sometimes I can't even decide). The white is Sally Hansen White On and the black is Sally Hansen Black Out.

I think it looks adorable! I know it might risk looking tacky on my nails or anything longer, but since hers are still petite it looked super cute! Stamped from m61.

We also did toes, since it is still summer. We went through a lot of options for these and ended up with white dots (White On) over China Glaze Four Leaf Clover. Stamped from m60.

I think both her hands and feet look great, and my audience (her mother and sister, my mother and brother) all agreed.

Thanks for all your help with picking my colours Tini!!! Come back soon :)

Tiffany Nails

These nails were my copy of Wow Wow Nails' Tiffany Nails, seen here. For my base colour I used Essie Turquoise & Caicos, from the Resort Collection.
I stamped with Konad image plate m56, using Konad Special Polish in white. This was the "Tiffany" image.
Here are some pictures of the final product. Again, not a hard one at all, but looks really cute (and looks like I shop at Tiffany's, as if I was rich)!


Close up of my thumb, which was the only difference as Wow Wow Nails had a larger bow on the thumb but I kept mine all the same.

Navy Blue Sparkle Tips

Okay so here is my first YouTube video, click here for my channel. I think this mani reminds me of space and mermaids.


I used China Glaze Fairy Dust and NYC West Village.
Fairly simple, I stamped in West Village on Konad image plate m19, then a top coat of Fairy Dust. This was more or less a YouTube sample, my first video, so it is not that fantastic nail art in itself.


But I hope you like it, please check out my YouTube channel!


Thanks to NYC for providing West Village.

Redo Grey Day

This is such a nice polish I had to come back to it in a matter of days. Only a few short days (or was it hours...I remember this polish so clearly) ago I swatched Grey Day for you. But I loved it so much I did a full mani with it.

I wanted to keep it simple because I loved the colour on its own so much! So I used a jem sticker from Nailene on my ring fingers. The photo above is in the natural light (at night) indoors. Below is with flash. See how the jem sparkles!? So simple and still pretty. The colour of this polish still amazes me (one coat remember!) as it is a smoky grey, or steel grey in some lights, and a slate grey in others. And sometimes its light sometimes its dark. It is all I ever wanted in a grey polish, and a bonus was the one coat!

Thanks again for the swap Sammy!
