The difference in a nail look by just adding specks of glitter! This is an easy peasy look. Here I added orange hexagonal glitter pieces as an accent on my ring finger. I used Face of Australia's Orange You Glad You Came? and Castle in the Sky. They looked terrific all together.

My two tips. Face of Australia created such a lovely range of pastels, they look great mixed together. I'm pretty devo that the brand isn't around for me anymore, they are coming out with so many new products, I'm just admiring from afar.

First post for 2013. I turned 20 guys! I went on many food adventures that I spent with my favorite people.

What a better way to spend a snippet of my birthday than painting birthday nails?

I stuck to a bit of pastel and light colours.

Now without further adieu, I will show you how I did it!

Step 1:

One strip of color half way down your nail

Step 2: The wick

With a stripper brush, a piece of hair, what ever works for ya, I dipped into my liquid liner (I know.. it worked though okay...) and made a little strip.

Step 3: The flame

Make a little tear drop thing

Step 4: Making the flame look more like a flame

Now a yellow mini tear drop thing!

Step 5: Candy stripes

White stripes across each little block of colour and a clear coat on top. I was admiring my nails at dinner at Chefs Gallery.

And those are my birthday nails. After my birthday week, I scraped off the flames. Hehe.

Hi!

I've always thought Rim's Misty Jade as a bit dark... Looking to brighten it up with some white here and there did just the trick!

Method:

Two coats of Rimmel's Misty Jade

With a white stripper brush, or whatever you have, make lines as so:

Repeat with the rest of your nails.

And voila!

I hope you enjoyed this short post and you all enjoy the rest of your day!

I've always thought Mod About You was a bit boring on my tips. I decided to shnazz it up a bit more by adding stripes. Oh the difference its made!

Method:

Two coats of Mod About You

Grabbing a nail striper brush

The process:

Start with a line in the middle, and work your way out.

Two nails done, ding ding!

Looking good!

Au reviour!

This Colour Me In series is a collection of posts where your beloved bloggers, Tram, Amanda, Tezza and myself will be posting about the selected shade from whatever we're able to gather from our beauty stash!

This week is brown! The first thing boring Alice thought of when she heard brown, was eyeshadow! My flash hasn't been working on my camera so I'm forever relying on daylight! To especially make sure I didn't wake up late and had time to create this post, I pulled an all nighter. Not a good idea... I'm on my fifth cup of caffeine with 5 hours left til' home sweet home and I've microslept twice. Ohhh, joy.

Okay so this post will be showing you how I create my everyday makeup look! Just a hint of brown, and it changes the whole look up!

I apply liquid liner on a daily basis. My eyes just look odd and incomplete without it now.

NYX Round Lipstick in Power!

Method:

1. Bare n' primed lids

2. Apply a dash of brown on the outer corners and blend both sides

(Can you see the line on my right eye? I blended the left side already!)

3. Apply highlighter all over lids

4. Liquid liner timmme!

Yay for both eyes

And finitos!

Nothing fancy but I love it!

Hi!

Once again, another post from the Colour Me In series and another eyeshadow tutorial!

I actually started with wanting to use other shades (white and purple) next to the blue before.... And recorded it... And it turned out to be a disaster. With 20 minutes til' I had to leave for work, I decided to stick to shades I was more comfortable with..

Starting with my bare face of course! (I woke up at 6:30 on this morning and slapped on some make up to record a video of the progress of growing green onions! Check out my post here)

I used my trusty Manly palette for this look. Never lets me down!

Method:

1. Prime! Of course, I used my concealer all over my lids.

With a blue shade,

Apply to outer corners, eccentuating at the crease.

With a highlight,

apply to inner corners and use it to blend

Line your eyes

Annnd done!

Meep

But really, all these looks that I strut in all my eyeshadow posts, I would not wear out haha.... They're just super fun to create!

I have a feeling there will be alot of gradient effects on my nails until I've used up all the colour combinations I think would look shnazzy...

Pastel pink > Darker pink > Dark plum shade

Sitting infront of my computer getting ready to study and I realised that I have not painted my nails in two days! So I hopped on over to my drawer and pulled out my recently purchased OPI in Mod About You and swiped away. And for an even bigger reason to procrastinate, I didn't want to have plain jane nails so I decided to gradientify it with a few extra polishes.
