Duochrome Golds

Tonight I went ahead and used some oldies but goodies.
The eyes looked so much better irl, but I only got pictures after the good lighting was gone hence the flash.
I found that Moonlight Night (from Tartan Tale) + Old Gold make an amazing combo. I need to play around with these two colors.
The nails are also one of those things that looks better in real life. I used duochromes that have the same back color (green). One is pink and green (from Sally Hansen), another is silver-purple and green (OPI Katy Perry), and the other is gold and green (Chanel Peridot). There is black laced throughout the marble.

What's Black, White, and Red All Over?

As promised, here are some of the pictures from the shoot that I did today. It was a lot of fun. I'm surprised that the photographer got back to me so quickly with some of the photos! All makeup and wardrobe by me.

I've been a little MIA

I know I've been gone for quite a while, but things got crazy busy for me.
I am going to be doing a photoshoot tomorrow so hopefully I can get those pictures up as soon as possible. Right now I've got one hand of nail polish finished.
Essie Sand Tropez (2 layers)
Essie Kisses and Bisses (1 layer)
Sephora by OPI's gold multi-sized glitter.

I will be doing another photoshoot on Monday, so unless the photographer cancels, you can expect pictures of that to come too.

More Summer Blues

This is a look that I wore on Sunday to a BBQ. It's very similar to the last look that I did except it incorporates more colors into the face. I have some pinks on the cheeks (instead of bronze) and teals and blues on the lower lash line. The scarf was actually really useful because it started to rain. Since it's a long scarf, I just made a makeshift hood and was able to keep dry that way. :)

Delft Blue

So I know it's been forever since I last posted, but life got very busy very quickly. Now that things have calmed down, I had the chance to get my brows done and do my makeup again. :D

The most exciting thing about this look is really the nails. I picked up a dark teal from Essie and one of the mini OPI polishes in teal. Put in a sprinkle of reflects teal and you've got a nice combo going. I decided to keep most of the other things toned down, but I will be looking at Essie again!

This look was inspired by Delft Blue. I picked up the scarf in Berlin last summer because I really like the blue over white. I mean, sure Delft is in the Netherlands, but oh well. We can mix and match right?

St. Patrick's Day Getup

Well yesterday was St. Patrick's Day of course. This is the look I wore and I was able to incorporate the Tartan Tale bow. I just used a hair clip to secure it in my hair and voila!

I also discovered the deliciousness of "Mudslide". I got it by ordering a White Russian with Baily's instead of cream and by the second order the bartender told me it was just called a Mudslide.
