Instant Nail Effect

So here it is! I had been drooling over this nail paint for a few weeks before I decided to go ahead and get it.The Instant Nail Effect from Barry M gives a cracked type of look to the nail, which in theory sounds pretty cool, right?

 I really wanted it because it was something new and unusual. I liked it the first few times I tried it, but there are a few things I don`t like as well.

First of all, if you take too much product on the nails, it wound "crack" properly and it will just look like a black square on your nail.

If you put too little product on your nails, the nail effect "cracks" into tiny, tiny bits which I don`t think looks very good.

Another thing I also really don`t like is that sometimes when applying the nail effect, it makes the nail polish I have underneath disappear a little, like you can see on the picture below.  

I think that for me, this turned out to more of a novelty nail varnish, but the novelty effect didn`t last very long. It`s fun to wear when you want to do something different with your nails and if your not good at nail art. I see other brands are coming out with this type of "cracking" effect nail varnish, so I might buy some other colors from other brands just to compare.

I think that one of the reasons that I wanted to buy this product in the first place was that it was new and unusual and I didn`t know anyone else who had this kind of product, but now that other brands are coming out with the same thing, it doesn`t appeal to me as much anymore.

Anywho... Let me know what you think of the Instant Nail Effect from Barry M if you have it or if you want it.

Have a great day!

Barry M blush - Strawberry

A few weeks ago I saw that Barry M had a few new blushers, so I decided to buy the one that most appealed to me, which just happened to be no 3/Strawberry.
The color is an orangy hot pink type color. It might look a bit scary because it is quite a vibrant color and it is actually very pigmented as well, so I wasn`t sure if I really liked it at first.
You only need a little bit because a little goes a long way with this blush and the more you blend it, the better it looks!
The texture is good. It`s not chalky at all, so it won`t crumble when you use it.

In this picture I am using the blush. I only used a little bit and blended it quite well so the color wouldn`t be too bright.

I think this might actually be my new favorite blush at the moment.

Smokey Purple Look

Today`s face of the day is going to be a smokey purple look. I personally really like the color purple and I think it goes really well with blue eyes.

Here are some pictures of the look

The blush I used is from Barry M, number 3, it`s called Strawberry. It`s very beautiful!! I love it.
So used eye shadows from FAMOUSE by Sue Moxley and MakeUpAcademy. Unfortuanely the eye shadows don`t have names, but you can check out the tutorial if you want to know more.

Have a great day!:-)

Volturi Inspired Make Up

I decided to do a make up look inspired by the Volturi (mostly Jane) from the Twilight Saga.
I know that a lot of people have done this look already, but here is my rendition of it.

Products used:

Eyes:

Lemon Aid
120 Eyeshadow Pallet
28 Neutral Pallet - Coastal Scents
Black Cream Eyeliner - ELF
Red Eyeliner - Barry M
1001 Lashes - Bourjois

Lips:

Concealer
Tickled Pink blush - ELF


I used a red eyeliner because I didn`t have any red colored lenses, so I used the red to give the effect of  having red eyes.

If you would like to know how to do this look, HERE is a video tutorial.

Tropical Leopard Print Eye

So I did this fun leaopard print eye.
I used the 120 eyeshadow pallet from Ebay and played around with it.
Let me know what you think.

Pink Flamingo

A few weeks ago I did a swap with Oxfordjasmine from Youtube. I picked out a few make up items I wanted including this nail paint from Barry M.

It`s number 305 and it is called Pink Flamingo. It is a very bright, almost neon pink.

It applied quite streaky even with a base coat.

I generally like Barry M nail paint but this one is by far the worst one just because of the consistency.

I think the color looks completely different to picture of the nail paint on the Barry M website.

Usually, I am a Barry M fan, but I am quite disappointed with this product!

Have a nice weekend!

Eyes On Fire

I was playing around with some make up

the other day and I came up with this fun, fiery look.

I think this look really makes blue eyes pop!

If you would like to know how I did this look, I have a tutorial up on Youtube if you are interested in watching step by step how I did this look. Just click here!

Sleek Ink Pot Gel Liner - Glacier - I used this as a sticky base for the eyeshadows
