Asylum


I had been wanting to place another order for Sugarpill for a long time but kept putting it off due to funds.  But when Amy from Sugarpill posted that they got these new super cute stickers in stock I knew it was time, lol. I picked up the big kittie sticker and Chromalust Shadow in Asylum. Asylum is a gorgeous metallic orange red. It packs on pretty good when dry but when applied wet, that's when the real magic starts.


 Dry on the bottom, wet on top.
Left dry, Right wet.



Love it! I've been using it as a liner too, sorry I didn't take a picture of that. It's such a cool color to work with. Asylum retails for $12 at Sugarpill.

Pool of Sapphire

Wow, I did this mani quite some time ago! This is OPI DS Sapphire over Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pool Boy. I can't believe I didn't post this back then. Actually I have a few things I need to post from several months ago. Mostly make up looks. Anywho, please check out my mani!
Taken on a bright sunny day in Florida! Pool Boy really brightened up Sapphire, a dusty baby blue holo. I personally like Sapphire with some underwear, the color isn't that stellar on it's own. What do you think?

Of Cabbages and Kings!

I recently acquired OPI I Mainely Eat Lobster for a reasonable price. When I purchased it I thought it was a lovely coral with gold sparkle. But when I applied it it appeared more neon orange, a color match to carrots! It was both grotesque and pretty so I didn't want to take it off just yet. So I decided to apply some Essence Edward, a square green glitter with small holo glitter, a match to lettuce. BUT that wasn't enough so a funky french with OPI Ink was added matching red cabbage. And henceforth my mani became a salad of sorts, lol.
First, here's the completed mani!

I wish I Mainely Eat Lobster on my nails look more like it does in the bottle but it's still pretty. Just not by itself! What do you think? Too much? Needs MOAR!lol

Maybelline Color Tattoo

When I first saw Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo Eyeshadow I immediately thought about MAC's paint pots and Inglot's gel liners like from this post. But of course these are more affordable and easily accessible.  I plan on getting all the colors but I decided to start small and picked up Pomegranate Punk(a dark cranberry with light gold sparkle), Tough As Taupe(a brownish grey), and Fierce & Tangy(a bright orange). My absolute favorite part about these, they all dry matte/suede! They are gorgeous and incredibly pigmented.

The last photo is after a swipe of a dry towel. Pomegranate Punk and Tough As Taupe wiped away pretty easily while Fierce and Tangy resisted. But with actual wear time they lasted all day wit no creasing! Pretty awesome in my opinion. Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo shadows retail for $6.99 at Walgreens.
