Easter NOTW - Day 2/90

Hey, guys!

I don't have the best pictures for this, but I might edit this entry tomorrow if I remember to take pictures in day light.

Lately I've been really into nail polish. My collection went from 20-25 polishes to maybe 60 in the last couple of months. I know for a lot of people that's nothing but to me it was really fast and I'm still eyeing so many nail polishes, it's crazy. 

The last thing I've been really into is matte nail polish, and I just got OPI's Matte Nail Envy that I'm using as a top coat, the only matte "clear" polish I've been able to find around here.

I hope this pictures aren't that bad :(

The other hand is actually different, I used an iridescent glitter polish on the accent nail, but pictures aren't picking it up very well in artificial light. Again, I'll try to post pictures of it tomorrow.

EDIT: Pictures in day light; not the sunniest day, though. And as I'm typing this I noticed my left thumb chipped :( Damn mattes and they're sucky adhesion... 

Onto the products!

Essie First Base as base coat.

Essie Haute as Hello

Etienne Maximum Long polish in 715 - Bijoux Strass

Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Gold

OPI Matte Nail Envy Nail Strengthener as top coat. 

OPI RapiDry Top Coat for the accent nails.

90 Days Makeup Challenge - Day 1/90

Yup. I'm gonna give it a try, but I can't promise anything!

Wendi (Makeup Zombie) came up with a really fun way to do this which is basically for everyone from her facebook group who wanted to, to do it and to link all of the other bloggers who are also doing it on each entry. So, I said why not? :D

In order for me to even think about success regarding this I'm gonna keep the posts short and sweet, with just pictures and the products list, if I can remember what I used.

Since it started today (yesterday?) and I wasn't prepared or wearing any makeup, I'm doing a collective post with a bunch of looks I never uploaded anywhere because I either forgot about them, was too lazy to edit the pics or forgot what I was wearing. Which happens quite often…
Some of this looks are very old and I believe my skills, skin and photographs have improved quite a bit, if I do say so myself.

So, without further ado:

I think I used mainly shiro for this one.
I remember using Ganondorf as base for the look and maybe Hyperbeam. I believe I used Epona to blend, alongside something else that I don't remember and the gold is BFTE's Autumn.

Disney Challenge for NTMS x2

Hi guys!

I think I'll keep this post short and sweet, cause I have to study (:c).

This weeks challenge was based on Disney, because Wendi, the Zombie leader from NTMS went to Disneyland! (Jelly!!!)

So, this is my look based on Aladdin. What inspired me the most was the landscapes in the movie because I think they're absolutely breathtaking!. There also elements form Jasmine's outfit, the teal one (♥), and a little touch of gold for the sand.

Shiro Update

Why must swatching take up so much time? Anyway…

Hi!

Recently, Caitlin (the owner of Shiro Cosmetics) made an announcement about some of her shades being discontinued and others renamed, mostly from The Super Effective and The Legends Collections. For now she will have these colors available in a clearance sale at $3.50 for a full size jar. You can also buy samples and minis of these through the mix'n'match option on the site (although I don't know the pricing of those), as well as order the renamed shades with their original labels.
For more information, you can refer to this post which lists all of the changes and their Facebook page for more announcements.

I have a few swatches of all the discontinued ones that I have and some others that might be similar for comparison. I believe there's only two of the discontinued ones that I don't have, which are Outright Fabrication and Emancipation Grid.

Christmassy Reverse Smokey Eye

Is "Christmassy" even correctly spelt? Anyway…

Hi! I'm back for today with this look and for the sake of stating the obvious, it's a reverse smokey eye (where you concentrate the darkest and smokiest at the lower lashline) with Christmassy colors (red, green and gold).

This was this week's challenge for "Never Too Much Sparkle," a Facebook group about makeup I'm part of, so you might see this look floating around in other places.

As usual, more pictures and details under the cut!
