GLITTER NAILS!!! & get your nails done for CHEAP for the holidays!

In spirit of the wonderful holidays, I wanted to do a classy glittery nail design. I recently took off my gel nails that I had.......

So I wanted to stick to the holiday glittery theme. Here is what I came up with which was super easy and FAST to do!

 These are the nail products that I used in order:

Sally Hansen nailgrowth miracle as a base 

(which is a holy grail nail product for me!!!!)

O.P.I "Bubble Bath" (sheer pale nude pink)

Apply as the base color, can't leave nails bare if you want.

Anna Sui "802" (shimmery gold)

Apply most of the color just at the tip and with the remaining left on the brush (very little!) drag it down the nail just a tad

Ardene "Disco Ball"

Same step as before but drag the minimal color a little further down the nail for that gradiant effect!

All you really need is just a glittery nail polish! One will even just do the trick. Just remember to apply most of the product at the tip and with the remaining product left on the brush (even wipe it on the bottle if you have to) drag the rest of the color down!

Glitter can NEVER go wrong for the holidays! THE MORE THE MERRIER :D

COME GET YOUR NAILS DIIIIID!

I would like to mention that if you're in the Vancouver area, go get your nails done for a GOOD price and and amazing job at Main & Broadway Nails Esthetics Salon! (Please *like* as well. They just opened up a FB page!) 

Early bird 15% off Mon-Thurs from 10am-1pm!!!

That's where I got my gel nails done at if you were wondering, as well as my sister... these are her nails for her birthday:

GORGEOUS?!

For all of this, I think it was all under only $70!!! To some of you that don't go get your nails done too much, that is a REALLY good price for GEL nails WITH 3D ART!!!
Most other salons will charge you $70 already for JUST plain french tip!

Be sure to check them out especially with the holidays coming up!

They do full set of acrylic/gel nails, mani & pedis, airbrush/3d nail art designs (as you can see from the photo above), waxing, eyelash extentions, facials, and much more!

Also, they sell a bunch of O.P.I nail polishes and all the new collections that they come out with!

As well as Model 21 EYELASHES!! :)

They also give out gift certificates and what a great idea to give to your friends, family, mom, sister, best friend.... every girl needs to get her nails did right? ;)

Anyways, I really hope you guys check the place and get the word out because it's fantastic!! 

It's on Kingsway & Broadway across from Kingsgate Mall. 

Any questions, feel free to give them a call (604-872-0988) or write on the FB wall!

*CHECK THEM OUT & DON'T FORGET TO *LIKE* THE FB PAGE!!* :)

Thank you so much!

Happy Holidays!

EOTD - Blue Whale

Awhile back, I purchased a blue pigment from GOSH Cosmetics so I figured I should try it out! 

This is what I came up with...

 - no flash -

- with flash -

Products Used:

(in order)

 

Two Faced Shadow Insurance

- Prime the lids to prevent creasing.. ya'll know what it is!

 Buxom Lashliner - "Leatherette"

- Apply on lids and smudge it out with your fingertips

(This is just to help the shadow stick better and give it a nice dark base)

[Use any black base: eyeliner, cream shadow...]

GOSH Effect Powder - "17 Blue Whale"

- With a flat shader brush, pick up some of the product, tap off the excess and spray with water (to intensify color) and apply to lid

[or use any royal blue shadow you have]

- Blend out the edge with a fluffy blending brush

NYX - "Deep Space"

- With a blending/contour brush, apply a darker navy blue shadow to the outer corner, and slightly into the crease

- With the fluffy blending brush, blend out the edges for a smoother edge

- Also apply on lower lashine

MAC - "Wedge"

- With your fluffy blending brush, apply a light brown color onto your crease, under the brow bone and blend out the edge of the blue shadows

(This is your transition color. It'll give you a smooth blended out effect)

Lancome - "The New Black"

- With a contour brush, apply any black shadow in the outer "V". 

(This is to give it more depth to the eyes)

Maybelline Natural Smokes Quad - "Brow Bone" Color

- Use any matte cream/white shadow to your brow bone and down towards your tear duct. 

- Also helps clean up any edges if need to.

NB Mineral Eyeshadow - "Elegant"

- Apply a shimmery champagne color or just a light shadow to your inner tear duct area

(To brighten up the look)

LASTLY:

- Eyeliner on lashline, waterline, and tightline.

- LASHES! 

or curl your lashes and lots of mascara. 

You really want to open up your eyes!

If you find that this is too dramatic, lashes will help balance it out!

:)

The best pictures I have to show you the rest of my face hahaha! I forgot to take proper pictures. :)

NUDE LIPS AND BRONZED FACE.

I hope you guys like this look. I think blue is definitely one of those shades that everybody loves to buy yet, don't wear it too often.. at least that's how I am. I always find that it's somewhat hard to pull off.. unless you know how to apply it with the right shades! :D

PS. Thank you to all my new followers. The more I get, the more I wanna update hehehe. <3
