My Winter WonderLand inspired nails :)

This is the nail varnish I am currently rocking, a design I created  to match this christmas season. 

I have seen many example and got inspired so I thought I'd have ago. 

Winter wonderland inspired nail art

I really like the overall look, but i think the wrapping paper technic would have worked better with a light colour base. Check out My main Inspiration here

 To create this look you will need:
* Nail Varnish of your choice
I'm using Glam nail varnish in Taupe & Bronze glitter.
* Preferably Rubbing Alcohol or Vodka
*Christmas wrapping Paper
*cotton buds
*Nail varnish Remover just in case



How to do it
1) After I applied My base coat, I then painted my nail using a Taupe colour by Glam Nail lVarnish.
2) I then painted the tips off all my nails except the pointy finger using the sparkle bronze colour, Also by glam. i did a few layers as it was quit opaque.
3) I then cut out the piece off snow many I wanted to print onto my nail.
4) I then used the cotton bud to cover my pointy finger with the vodka, and then carefully laid the picture over my nail, and applied more vodka (with the cotton bud) over the top.
5)I smoothed it over for about 30-50 seconds
6)Then the image was transferred. I then went over it with a glittery top coat.
7)Then went over all my nails with a clear topcoat.

Glam Nail varnish

It was quite time consuming, but I love the results :D

Why not give it ago, It might be a good way to entertain any little cousin's or sisters you might be around on christmas day.

Its only 2 Days away :), Im very excited. Gonna be with my family tomorrow :).






Take care, I hope everyone is enjoying there holidays

Viva Glam MAC

I love getting unexpected gifts :)
My Aunt gave me a Mac Eyeshadow Palette. From the Viva Glam Mac collection.

20 Colour Eye Shadow

This is the packaging, Lady Gaga,  I think its a great picture of her. 

I also like the actual case, black, sleek and light weight, easy to slip into make up bag and just carry around.

Without Flash 

As you can see there a range of glamourous golden tones, with some greens and purples. These are the colours I usually use which makes it a great gift. I could probably get some good subtle smokey looks from this palette.I love it and cant wait to try it out.

Thanks Aunty :)

Christmas Gifts & Family Traditions

So theres only 13days left until Christmas :) I'm really excited I love christmas

Presents
I love buying people presents, especially when I get to see them open it up. I think i'm good at knowing what people want but when it comes to me, I haven't got a clue. My mum just asked me what I wanted and I'm still in deep thought because I really don't know what I want, usually she just surprises me and she always get's it right. But know she's asking me :( it's to much pressure.
Help guys

Last year my Mum & Dad got me a lovely hemes Clutch bag. In Baby Blue :) one of my favourite colours.

I think it was actually my favourite pressie last year, I use it so much, its basically become my go to bag when i'm stuck for decision.
My parents know me so well. I Don't know why they want me to think this year. (There so mean :'( lol)

My Family Tradition
But the best part of christmas is that I get to see nearly all my relatives, in my family we have a tradition were everyone goes to my great Gran's house, she lives next to her sister so they have a really big garden combined in which we set up a marquee. And i come from a really big family, my Greatgran had 5 children and my Gran had 8. so you can Imagine what its like.
Get to see all my aunts, uncle's, cousins, Second cousins, cousin's once/twice removed, Great aunties & uncles, in laws and some people i just call relatives coz I don't know the technical terms lol. The list really could go on, it's always a fun time get to catch up on everything and find out whats new with everyone, and meet new relatives.  It's such a fun tradition, I love it :) cant wait thats only 12days away (happy dance). Lucky we don't give out present's to everyone lol

What's your favourite part about christmas?

E.L.F - Eyeshadows

Powder

4301 - Butter Pecan

Very pigmented, bright colours and easy to blend together. 

Cream

7101 Butter Pecan 

I think I prefer the cream version of this colour. Much more distinct and bolder. I think this would work nicely as a glammed up golden smokey look.

...................................................................................................................................

7103 - Mocha Swirl 

............................................................................................................................................

7106 - Black Liquorice

I like the eyeshadow cream's. They are very smooth, blend easily and there easy to control. Also once dry they don't smudge easily which is so good :). love the colours especially the 7016 - Black liquorice i think that would be great for dramatic looks.
