Fuschia Nails

ignore my wrinkly thumb?.. :/ 

I love this colour! 

Color show by Maybelline have some of the prettiest colours! 

I used the Sally Hansen "Hard as Nails" as my base coat. 

One layer of the Color Show in "Bubblicious"

I didn't use a topcoat, just a personal preference! :-)

Scary Sunday

This terrifies me!! It's me in 50 years wahhhhh! 

I don't know why I got the idea to do this at half 12 at night.. I think maybe I should have carried on and did the neck and deculatage! But I was already hanging for bed at this stage. 

I did this with one thing.. Brown eyeshadow. Well 2 things.. I used a loose eyeshadow brush too.  

I wanted imperfections.. Which is why it's not very precisely symmetrical. 

With my hair spray painted grey or a grey wig this would be great for theatre.. It's a very basic look, most people would be able to do this quite easily! For Halloween or children's plays. 

This is my first try at something scary! If love to get doing more out of the box stuff! Fake scars and zombie type things :D

White Nails

White nails are so hard to get right! It's so hard to get even coverage. This is especially the case if you have long nails like I do!.. I will naturally have the two different tones. The pink of the nail bed and white of the growing nail. 

Here I did a base followed by 2 layers of the white nail varnish.

I didnt do any topcoat, it's just a personal preference.. I always seem to smudge them if I put on a topcoat cause it takes so long to dry then. 

I made sure my nails hadn't had any dark colours left behind from and previous nail varnish too, it would have shown through the white, making a mess of it! 

I used these products: 

Color show by maybelline in Winter Baby.  

       Sally Hansen Hard as Nails.
