Here is a neutral face, with copper eyes! I am off to a low key holiday party. For my face I used ruby kisses all over glow for eyeshadow, a no name brown lipstick, and la femme blush in plum frost. I love plum frost. It gives a little bit of shimmer to the cheeks. I should also do some…
I am trying metallic for the holidays. Today is silver. I am not much of a silver person, but I wanted to try it to see if it would grow on me. I think metallic eyeshadows look really good on dark skin because they really pop. I am going to find some silver glitter or more silver pigments…
Here is a wet n wild eyeshadow palette that I have had for a while but never swatched, blue had me at hello. I really like this palette as the colors are very shimmery. The blacks though are a little disappointing. They are not that pigmented and the shimmery one with glitter barely show…
This is china glaze glittering garland. This is two coats. This is a great christmas color.
Hello again. I decided I want to try to grow my natural hair out longer. So I am going to document it, every year or half year to make sure I am progressing. I straightened it with a flat iron...( will only uses heat sparingly). But let's see my hair at its start....Now it is about el…
Yesterday was my birthday. I ate all you can eat sushi. Nom Nom Lol. I am now celebrating 31 years. Woo. I feel the same. For my birthday mani I used orly - liquid vinyl and my favorite gold deborah lippmann- boom boom pow. I got this a long time ago but I never used it. Thr mani got a …
Christmas nail art is so fun. I made christmas packages and abstact designs. This was an easy mani and fun.
Pink Christmas! More christmas nail art for this month! This one is a snowman with a pink scarf and some snow flakes.
Eye of the Day: I used painted purple from maybelline tattoos, a teal color, and a red color. I love mixing colors together. All I need is a green and I can make peacock eyes. Ooh maybe I will try that next.Hehe Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
Eye of the Day: Neutral Pinks I used maybelline color tattoo in pomegranate punk and pink gold. Also I used red for the crease from an absolute palette. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
Maybelline Color Tattoos are some of my favorite eyeshadows. They last forever. I have a tendency to forget I have eyeshadow on and rub my eyes. These stand the test of not rubbing off. I love these I want them in all the colors. Hehe the only bad thing is that they are hard to bl…
Here are some tropical eyes. I love bright colors! I used the wet n wild art on the street palette. Tropical eyes are perfect to forget cold rainy days. I used orange eyeshadow, red eyeshadow from the absolute palette , green eyeshadow, and yellow eyeshadow Hope you are doin…
Practice my friends! Well, I am still trying to make my christmas sweater happen lol. This time I bought some acrylic paint and used a tiny brush. These are the results.
Eye of the day: green in the corner and blue on the crease, red on the top. I like this look a lot. Blues and purples are my favorite eyeshadow colors. I used the absolute palette. The shimmery blue and the shimmery green. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
Christmas Sweater Nail Art Part 2 is a little better. This time instead if using brushes I used my migi nail art pens... in green and off white. My white pen clogged. Boo
Here is my fotd. Pink and blue eyes and a nude lip. I love the blush la femme plum frost as it is subtle but still gives you a nice flush. For the eye I used red on the top, blue on the crease, and pink on the lid. Face La femme blush in plum frost Ruby kisses…
Here is a fail. Hardest mani yet. I tried to do a Christmas Sweater pattern but it is too intricate for me as most of the nails are not straight. I did okay on my index finger, but the rest are pretty messy.Heh oh wells I like the colors and from afar it looks cool, so I am keeping it on …
Christmas themed nails for December are here! I am going to try to do different Christmas Nails to get in the spirit. Here is a French tip Christmas strips. I used china glaze ruby pumps and a green from my mini nail art pens. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
Here is my eye of the day. I love this orange color. I think orange looks good on darker skin tones. I need to get more orange eyeshadow, like a shimmery one, or a more metallic one. Any suggestions? Hehe well I used the palette from wet n wild- art on the street. I used the yellow for th…
