Galaxy Nails!

Galaxy Nails!
I'm trying some new techniques for painting nails, because I've never been too good at them. I wasn't very satisfied with the 4th of July nails, so to make up for them, I wanted to post some decent nails! :D hehe! I made a tutorial for them too! Here they are:

 First, take the Jordana Base Coat and Nail Grow.

 Paint the base coat on all of the nails.
 Next, take a very deep purple (semi-matte finish) polish.
 And paint it on all of the nails.
 After letting the purple dry, take a light blue polish.
 Then, get a latex-free foundation sponge. (They don't absorb as much polish as latex ones).
 Paint some of the blue on the sponge.
 Press the sponge on each nail. (Re-apply blue on sponge for each nail).
 Should look something like this. :)
 After letting the blue dry, take a half normal, half chunky silver glitter polish.
 Paint the glitter on all of the nails. (I love the look of the small and big sparkles, but you can use whatever you have!) :D
 Take Glintz Top Coat Polish.
 Paint over every nail. (Make sure the nails are dry first).
The finished nails!
I really hope you like these! I probably will be sharing my nail designs in the future as well as makeup looks. The next look will be one from the Cars Series, and I will plan it out during the weekend, so it will be here soon! Have a lovely day!<Lucy :D

'Cars' Inspired-Series!

'Cars' Series: Fillmore the Hippie Van!
Hello everyone!
I wanted to start a series again, and this time the looks are inspired by the movie 'Cars!' I was watching it, and was so so happy, because, all of the characters were so extremely different in color and design! :D The first look in the series is inspired by Fillmore, the hippie van. As soon as he came on screen, I knew I wanted to do a look with his fun designs and colors. I added a tutorial, but it isn't as detailed as my past ones. Be prepared; this look is crazy! Here it is:




Told ya it was crazy! XD
Tutorial:





















I think that sometimes I might just put the steps only in pictures, and not writing. Let me know if you like it that way! :D <Lucy

Leopard Eye! :D

Leopard Eye! :D
I was SO happy with how this crazy leopard look turned out! :D It did take about an hour to do, but it was so fun at the same time. I made a tutorial for you all too! :) Here it is:



(The lip color I used looks coral-y in the pic, but its really a shimmery purple-ish magenta!) ;)
Tutorial:
 Prime with Urban Decay Primer Potion in Original.
 Apply a thin layer of Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Barely Branded all over the upper eye area.
 Set it with a matte beige eyeshadow.
 With Elf Cream Eyeliner in Black, start to randomly place shapes like this. (I used a bent liner brush from Elf to apply the liner).


 Spread the shapes all across the eye.
 Darken the black lines by adding more liner.


 Set all of the shapes with black eyeshadow: I used Makeup Geek's Corrupt.
 Put some medium brown eyeshadow in the middle/side of each shape. (I used MUG's Latte, and a tiny bit of Mug's Cocoa Bear).
 Start to add a little of Elf Glitter Liner in Copper to all of the shapes.

 Apply a very thin, winged out line of Elf's Black Liquid Liner.
 Smudge L'Oreal Pencil Perfect Eyeliner in Ebony on the lower lashline.
 Add the pencil to the waterlines.

Sweep on a good few coats of mascara, and you done! (I decided not to do falsies, but if you want to add some, try adding wispy, long ones. :)
The finished look:
For the lips, I used a lip color from the Sephora Limited Ed. Kit.
I hope you like this look as much as I did! See you soon for another crazy look! :D <Lucy <3
