Tutorial: Pink and Black Gothic/Lolita Nails

EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey 

Hey guys,

This is atutorial that I filmed early last year that I never got around to filming. I created this tutorial when I still had my gel nails, which I removed in June so that kinda gives you an idea of how old this tutorial is lol.

This is a really pretty nail design using pink, black and silver to create a contrasting and girly nail design that will get you a lot of compliments from your friends. Sorry the photos in this are so blurry but they were taken with my old camera, they still allow you to get the basic idea of the design

Welcome to the first tutorial of the new year. I hope that everyone's holidays were awesome and that you all had a happy and safe Christmas, received all the presents that you asked for and had a happy and save New Year celebration!

I was inspired by my Transformers T-shirt to do something bright blue but still a little bit smokey and this was the look that I came up with.

Nail of the Day: OPI "The Show Must Go On"

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is the nail polish that I am currently wearing on my nails. I bought this colour yesterday when i went out with my mother looking for Christmas presents. This colour is called OPI "The Show Must Go On" and its from the Burlesque Collection which recently came out.

I'd describe this colour as a deep coral-pink with gold duochrome. It looks like it has a foil finish on the nail and is really pretty.

The gold duochrome is a little more evident in the photo below

Most of the nail polishes I own are China Glaze and this is only the second OPI I have bought. OPI in Australia is normally $19.95 retail ($10.95 industry) as opposed to $12.95 retail ($6 industry) for China Glaze, but considering I LOVE duochrome nail polishes, I was willing to spend the extra money for this polish, which I am glad I did because I am very impressed with it.

Nail of the Day: China Glaze "Frostbite" and Starburst Blue Foil

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is another one of the foils that I purchased from Dollar Nail Art. This is a really pretty foil

This is how this particular foil turned out on my nails:

I would describe this foil as a royal blue foil with a starburst pattern covering the entire length of the foil. This pattern can also be seen in Gold Starburst foil. The starbursts then reflect teal, light and dark blue and green depending on which way the light hits it creating a holographic effect

As a base for this foil, I used China Glaze "Frostbite" which is a medium dark royal blue with blue shimmer.

Nail of the Day: China Glaze "On The Prowl" and Tanzanite Fire Foil

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

Here is another one of the trials of the foils I bought from Dollar Nail Art. This one is a bright purple holographic foil called Tanzanite Fire.

This is how the foil turned on my nails:

I'd describe Tanzanite Fire as a deep red based purple with a pattern on it resembling water in a pond. The ripple like effect on this foil reflects blue, purple, punk and red depending on where the light hits it creating a really pretty holographic reflect

As a base for this foil, I used China Glaze "On The Prowl" which looks like this:

Nail of the Day: China Glaze "Paper Chasing" and Green Lightbeams Foil

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

I have been gradually working my way through my nail foils that I bought from Dollar Nail Art trying them out one at a time. This one of the foils I tried out recently called Green Lightbeams.

This is what it turned out like:

Green Lightbeams is a an emerald green based foil with lines of holographic lightbeams along the width of the nail. The lightbeams reflect green, teal, blue and gold depending on how the light hits it. The following photo will show the foil in more detail:

As a base colour underneath the foil, I used China Glaze "Paper Chasing" which came out with the Kicks Collection ('09).

By applying "Paper Chasing" under the foil any gaps from where the foil didn't apply properly will be disguised.

Nail Art Foil Collection: Rainbow

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

Now we get to the interesting foils. These are the rainbow ones which I absolutely LOVE! Some of them have a silver base to them but I decided that they fit more into the rainbow category. These foils were all purchased by me from Dollar Nail Art. In this post I will be showing you product photos, close up images and a brief description of what these foils look like to me.

If you do not know what nail art foil is or how to use it please follow this link here to my Introduction to Nail Foils post for more information.

Tutorial: Teal Express Look

I received a request for a teal and brown look a while ago and I filmed this little number. Teal is one of my favorite colours and always has been so I really love this look, hopefully you do too

Tutorial: Somewhere Over the Rainbow Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

I couldn't decide what colours I wanted to use for my next tutorial. I wanted to do something bright, eye catching and fun. So this is the look I came up with.

This is a bright fun look which can be worn anytime of the day, although I wouldn't recommend wearing it to work (unless you work with kids, then this would be awesome to wear lol).

Tutorial: Cold and Icey Blues Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

I know what you guys are thinking "YAY! Finally a new tutorial!" I had a few troubles with my editing software recently because I bought a new computer and the settings that I had for Youtube in the program on my old computer wouldn't work. I finally fixed up the problem and now I have heaps of tutorials to post soon for your viewing pleasure.

This is a look that I wore a while ago when I went and saw "Eclipse" with a friend. I recorded it the day after seeing the movie but because of the software problem, I wasn't able to edit it until now.

Tutorial: Copper and Purple Smokey Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is a look that I created that was inspired by the nail tutorial in my previous post. It is just a really pretty purple and copper look which is really smokey and dramatic.

This look obviously wouldn't be an everyday wear look, and I wouldn't pass it off as that (although I would wear this any time).

Tutorial: Blue Smokey Look with Pink Reflects Revisited

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

So, as you guys can probably tell already, I'm not very happy with my earlier videos before I got my new camera and before I set up a better place for me to film, so I have slowly been re-filming my older tutorials and just posting them randomly when I don't have any others to show you guys.

This one is a re-do of a look that was my favorite at the time that I did it. Normally I don't wear a lot of blue eye shadows and that but I really thought that using a pink reflect worked really well with it.

The original look looked like this:

Yeah, I know what you are thinking. It's really crap, bad liner, you can't even see my lashes and its not very well blended.

Below is the new revamped look.

Tutorial: Electric Party Purples Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

I did this look a few weeks ago and wore it out one night when I went shopping with my mum. I was really surprised when 3 different total strangers stopped me and told me how much they absolutely LOVED my makeup.

This is a really pretty look for green or brown eyes. The glitter is a really pretty addition to the look, although not completely necessary.

If you don't have access to an Inglot store (as far as I know, in America there is only one in Times Square in New York), you can replace Inglot #439 (iridescent purple) eye shadow with Violet pigment but you might have to apply it wet to get a more dramatic effect. A similar effect to the one created  with Inglot #674 (light purple duochrome) in the tear duct can be achieved with Crystal eye shadow.

Also, if you can't get a hold of Non-Conformist fluidline, you could replace it with Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Lust or Ransom. You could also use just a plain black liner if you prefer.

Tutorial: Smokey Green Kiwi Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is a really great look for St Patrick's Day because, as you can see, its all green! Its also created using a lot of eye shadows from the regular MAC line so there is not need to get all worked up about not being able to get all the products used.

I also love this look because I use the new liquid liners that I bought recently. These liners are by LA Splash. The look like a regular black liquid liner with an extra pop: a glitter! The one that I've used in this look has green glitter throughout the liquid liner and its called "Kryptonite". I've bought a few other liners similar to this and have been using them in a few of my tutorials and I really like the way that they kind of add a little more to the look.

Tutorial: Bright Pink and Purple Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is a recreation of a FOTD that I did a few weeks ago (the post can be found here). It is created using all MAC products, Pro and LE. This was originally created as a copy of a look that I saw SayAnythingBr00ke wearing in her life update video, although when I asked her about it I only got one eye shadow correct.

Tutorial: Dramatic Gold and Teal Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is a recreation of a look that SayAnythingBr00ke on Youtube created a few months ago. When she did this look, she used minerals from Glamour Doll Eyes but I don't have any of those and I wanted to recreate the look using things I already had. This look is composed of mostly Inglot and MAC and I feel that it came out fairly close to her original look.

 

FOTD: February 21st, 2010

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

So this is the look that I did today. I was supposed to be going out shopping somewhere with my mother but she decided last minute that she was too tired to go, mind you it has been a stinking hot day so I dont really blame her.

This look was inspired by the look that SayAnything Br00ke was wearing in her latest video (to see it, click here). It is a really pretty pink yet peachy-apricot colour on the lid and a purple in the crease, and I really loved it.

This is the look I came up with

 

Tutorial: Glowing Blue (Zydrate Inspired) Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is a look that I have been thinking of doing for a while. I am really into musicals/rock operas and that sort of thing, and my favorite one at the moment is "Repo: The Genetic Opera". In the movie they have a highly addictive paint killer called "Zydrate" which is used during surgery. The look is inspired by the Zydrate as it glows blue, so I created a "glowing" blue look.

Tutorial: Hello Kitty Revisited

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

Like most MAC addicts and the makeup obsessed, the Hello Kitty Collection that came out at MAC in 2009 was one of my favorite collections of all time. I did do a look using one of the palettes on my old channel but when I deleted it I decided to do a better look using more than one palette.

I have included a list of products that I feel would easily be able to to dupe colours from the collection if you weren't able to get your hands on it when it came out.

Tutorial: Paradise Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is a really pretty look I came up with recently. As I say in the video it would work really well for green and blue eyed girls as the burgundy will compliment green eyes and the oranges will compliment blue. That's not to say that this look will only work for those eye colours, it would look nice and anyone.

There is three limited edition colours used in this look, that is 100 Strokes, Big T and Off the Page. If you have Twinks eye shadow that can replace 100 Strokes and I think that the Pro eye shadow called Orange would be a good replacement for Off the Page. For a replacement for Big T you could use any number of teal shadows but I recommend using Teal pigment as it the closest to the colour.
