Aussie Pride... Nail art on my toes :)

I'm getting all prepared for Australia Day, which is on the 26th this month. I can't wait to spend all day in the pool and have a barbie & a few drinks! hehe.
I know there's a few aussie's on here, but for those who are not, Australia Day is usually spend by going to the beach, having a bbq or meat pies, playing backyard or beach cricket & drinking! haha.

Anyhoo, I was mucking around with my nail polish & thought heyy why not copy the flag onto my toe nails! haha, its much easier than doing it on my finger nails :P Beware if you do not like to look at toes up close.

Sorry that it looks quite messy, it looks a lot better from a distance for sure.
No Flash

Products:
The Rubi nail polish (base colour) is quite cheap & nasty, I purchased it from Cotton On but its the only colour like that I have, The red is Nicole By O.P.I OMB (Justin Bieber collection), the white & blue sparkle nail polishs are both from Phuket & the Sally Hansen X-treme wear in clear is for the top coat. I also used a dotting tool from ebay for the red parts of the flag.

And of course, the flag.
Thanks for looking! <3 To all the Aussies out there happy Australia Day!

All that glitters: Fancy dress for New Years Eve

I hope everyone had a fun & safe new years!! Where I am we don't get fireworks, but we had a spectacular lightning show! (it was fine that day until the arvo, how typical). So my new years attire was a bit different from normal as we attended a dress up party haha, and we were going to change before we went out but decided not to. Although we got a fair few comments while we were out lol!




 With my makeup I basically copied this look here (not that it got much love) Ah wells. Of course I had to add glitter to make it new years eve-y & I paired it with a red lipstick for my costume- If you can guess who I am!!



If you can't guess it, shame on you! I'm Snow White :D
 Haha I had quite a few people asking where my 7 dwarfs were.
 Products:
Eyes: Stila Kitten
Black Bean JEP
Nyx Gold Glitter
Black E/S
BYS False Eyelashes
I also used a few individual eyelashes on my lower lash line.

Cheeks: Fyrianne Intrigue Blush
All About Glo Bronzer

Lips: Nyx Matte Cream Lipstick in Amsterdam

New years nails
My SO & I, brownie points if you can guess what his costume is from!!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the year! & if you have made resolutions, to keep at them!!

New Years Shoes; Which ones to wear?

So for New Years I'm going to a dress up party. My costume is all sorted but I will need to get changed to go out to the pub afterwards. I present y'all with 2 shoes to pick for me :) haha & the pros and cons :P Plz ignore my feet & shoes ha I took these straight after a stinkin hot day at work so ignore them but dont ignore the shoes!
 Glittery Gold Peep Toe Pumps
-Pros: Comfortable on the soles of my feet
-Totes appropriate for new years!
-So damn pretty haha

Cons: Glitter will fall off! Do not want. (I have been spraying with hair spray however-  & I'm thinkin that its working.)
-Kinda uncomfortable around the heel where it rubs on my feet- may need bandaids
-toes will hurt after a while


Black Suede Wedges with Ankle Strap (its ok that the sides pop out)
-Pros: Wedges are super comfy to wear all night without hurting your feet.
-I love these ones too! ha
-Easier to walk in without worrying about tripping

Cons: Ankle strap may get annoying (they are on super tight here anyways)
-Feels like I'm rolling as I'm walking in them
-Don't want to ruin the suede!

Anyways you don't need to go by the pros/ cons just the look of them if you like, I am already wearing the wedges with my costume anyway so maybe I could bring the other ones into just in case?

Thanks everyone, Happy New Years!

Futuristic Cut Crease?

Woohoo I can finally honestly say I was happy with how this look turned out! I would definitely do this look again for clubbing or maybe even new years, I would probably add some glitter & it would be good to go. Also I think it this goes with any outfit.

So I was inspired by this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fq-lEu73GI&feature=channel_video_title, & I thought it would be harder to get my eyes even but I got it fairly quickly. It doesn't matter if it is not perfect anyway because as they say "eye's are sisters not twins."





Eyes:
Lid: Stila Kitten. Also a tiny bit on the middle of the lower lash line (lll)
The lightest colour from Barbie <3 Stila from brow bone to crease (help with blending).
Crease: Nyx JEP Black Bean with an angled eyeliner brush and on the lll.
Black from 28 palette blended with a pencil brush over top of Black Bean.
A little bit of the black from the same Stila palette on the lll.
Maybelline Eye Allure Eyeliner.
CG Lash Blast Fusion
Japanese Eyelashes.

Cheeks: I think a tiny bit of E.L.F Fuschia Fusion

Lips: Maybelline Color sensational l/s in Party Pink on the outside with Mac Hue on the inside.
At first I was going to leave the lower lash line alone but it didn't look complete, so I started with one eye & it didn't look that good until I defined my lower eyelashes.This look is also a must for falsies, I got asked if it was just mascara or was I wearing falsies hahah. At least they are not noticeable :P

So that's it! I hoped that everyone had a lovely Christmas & Boxing day with their families and I hope y'all have a great new years!!!
