The following is next installment of my nail art foil collection. This one will contain all of my orange (well technically there is only one orange one lol) and red foils. I purchased these foils from Dollar Nail Art a few weeks ago and have been working my way through trying them all out. This post will contain a brief description of the effect that these foils have on the nail when applied as well as product photos to make is easier for you to choose which ones you would like to purchase if you choose to do to.
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.

As I said with my previous post, the following is a list of the nail art foils that I purchased from Dollar Nail Art. I decided that I would seperate the foils by their colour and make postings for each grouping making it easier for you to look through them and decide which ones you would like to purchase if you choose to do so.
If you do not know what nail foils are or how to use them please follow this link to see my Introduction to Nail Foils post.
This post will contain all the foils in the gold spectrum. I've also included a short description of the foil along with the photos giving my description of them. I've decided to start with the solid colours first and then work my way through them that way. I found that the solid metallic foils such as White Gold were quite hard to photograph because my camera wasn't able to focus on them as they were so reflective, therefore their photos are just a good representation of what colour they are.

So I realized while going through my tutorials that I hadn't done a nice purple look for a while, which is CRAZY because purple is one of my favorite colours to wear. This look also incorporates a gold duochrome on the inner tear duct which gives the purple a nice contrast.

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.

I know that is has been absolutely AGES since I have uploaded a tutorial, but hopefully this is the end of my absence and the start of more tutorials to come.
This is a look that is something really flirty and pretty for the summer months but it could also be worn anytime of the year. It is a simple and flattering look that will compliment most eye colours and is fairly easy to do.

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.

So I received my order from OC Nail Art today and immediately started searching for the Konad plate that I have been wanting to use for a while. I've been looking at a lot of different nail art blogs as I said in my update post and there was one done by Fab Ur Nails. She is an amazing artist and is really creative.

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.

This is a look that I did for my old Youtube channel and blog and decided to re-record it and re-post on my new channel.
This look has been inspired by Hilary Duff's single "Reach Out" and the music that she is wearing in that video. I recorded the tutorial on it just after the song had come out but decided to re-vamp the look so that it looks a little more like what she is wearing in the video (not that it didn't before its just closer now).
One of the products used in this, Sweet Sienna pigment has ben discontinued, which is unfortunate because it is such a pretty colour. But not to worry, it is not really a big part of this look.

This is a look that was a long time coming. I know that the Style Black collection came out at MAC a long time ago but I wanted to do this tutorial anyway. This is also a recreation of a Look of the Day that I did, (click here to see that look), although I did change it around a little bit.
When I heard that this collection was coming out at MAC, I was shitting bricks. I love doing really sultry dark looks, they are my favorite to do. I'm thinking about doing some more looks like this so when I do they will be posted on here.

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.

This is a look that I just threw together yesterday. I have had the eye shadows from MAC's Style Black Collection since the collection came out in Australia a while ago but I never noticed that I hadn't even used them yet. When I heard about the collection I almost peed my pants because I was so excited about it. My favorite style of makeup to do it really dark smokey looks and I especially love black shadows with a coloured glitter in them (I have 3 of the 4 that Inglot has released in their Freedom System line).

So this is the latest tutorial that I have posted. It is a smokey red look with a bit of gold reflect to it. I know that red isn't exactly a very popular colour to wear on the eyes because the pigment used to make it can cause an allergic reaction in a few people. MAC sometimes comes out with red mineralize eye shadows (I can think of two off the top of my head) but they come out around Christmas time.
This is a look using one of the eye shadows that MAC came out with in the Antiquitese Collection in the Holiday season of 2007. If you can't find this, I know that MAC also came out with the Danger Zone trio in the Holiday season of 2008 which had a nice red in it, or you can find red mineral eye shadows from Beauty From the Earth.

This is the first tutorial for the new channel. It is a look that I often do when I want to wear a neutral look with a bit of glamour. This look uses one of the more unusual brown MAC eye shadows, Patina. It is one of my favorites because I love the gold sheen that it gives off when worn on the lid, in the pan is it not much to me.
It also uses some discontinued eye shadows which is not such a good thing. Lucky Tom eye shadow, a medium brown similar to Espresso eye shadowbut with Gold glitter, is from the "Lucky Tom" quad that came out with the Hello Kitty Collection (February 2009). This is an optional eye shadow as it won't really change the look too much, its just added to add a bit of gold glitter to the look.
Another one is Smoking, a really pretty dark almost black brown eye shadow with gold glitter which came out in the "Smoking" quad which came out with the Smoke Signals Collection (August 2007). If you don't have this eye shadow you could also use a super dark brown like Smut.
EYES:
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Patina eye shadow
- Espresso eye shadow
- Lucky Tom eye shadow (from "Lucky Tom" quad from the Hello Kitty - Feb 2009)
- Smoking eye shadow (from "Smoking" quad from the Smoke Signals - Aug 2007)
- Vanilla eye shadow
- Rose Blanc eye shadow
- Loreal liquid liner in "Carbon Black"
- Ebony eyeliner
CHEEKS:
- Inglot #34 (peach with gold shimmer) blush
You could dress this look up even more by applying a gold glitter liner to the lash line, I often do this if I am going out at night wearing this look.
I welcome you guys to send me your recreations of this look.
I have been really enjoying using some new products I’ve bought recently and have also been really into a glitter French tip. As you know from previous posts, I went to Sydney a while ago and bought a few bits and pieces of nail art stuff. I used some og the open-heart spangles that I bought at the Expo to bling up my green glitter French nails
If you are wondering what kind of acrylic it is, its Nfu Oh Micro Slice glitter in “Peppermint” from the Micro Slice Collection II. I think that these are my favorite acrylics I have bought yet.
So after seeing my nails that I have previously posted about, my sister Kathryn decided that she wanted to have her own nails done. He wanted hers to be a bit more blinged up than I had mine so I added lavender rhinestones that I recently purchased to the smile line.
I embeded the spangles using a UV top coat and then placed another layer over then to be able to sit the rhinestones on top. When the top coat cured, the rhinestones were stuck in place nicely.
The acrylic that I used to create these nails was called “Iris” from the Nfu Oh Micro Slice Glitter Collection II. I purchased the purple open-heart spangles at the Expo in Sydney and bought the rhinestones from a seller on eBay.
