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: Greens

I was a little upset when I looked at the foils avaliable on Dollar Nail Art and there were not that many foils in green. I have found this with many nail polishes too that they don't produce a wide variety of green polishes within any company. Oh well.

In this post I will be showing you product photos, close ups of each foil and also giving you a short description on what I think they foils look like.

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

So this is the nail tutorial that I talked about in my previous post. I think it matches that look really nicely. Hope you enjoy it

Tutorial: Charcoal and Forest Green 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 did on my friend when we went out together to a gig. I thought it was really pretty and would match a nail tutorial that I recorded a few months ago but never got around to posting.

This is a really pretty look that would look nice during either day time or night time, just reduce or add more black.

Palette VS Palette: MAC, Coastal Scents, Unii Palette and Zpalette

 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 every makeup collector and makeup artist knows, you need good palettes for your collection/kit. Something that will hold all your products and protect them but also minimize the room it take up in storage.

The following is a list of palettes that I have tried in the past and my personal thoughts about them. I am not being paid to write this review and all the palettes I bought myself with my own money. I will be comparing all of these palettes to the MAC palette as I feel that these are the most accessible for most people.

So this is a really sexy look that I wore to a party recently. I wanted something with a red brown so I could make my green eyes pop. I also wanted to use my Club eye shadow again considering I don't use it all that often. I created a really pretty, sexy brown smokey which I was getting a lot of compliments on at this party so I thought I'd post it here for you guys.

Tutorial: Smokey Olive and Gold 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 is very pretty for either a night time or day time event. I haven't created a green look for a while and thought that this would be a nice one to show off. I actually wore this to the gym after I filmed the tutorial and the girls loved it lol

Tutorial: One Off in the Club Look Recreated

 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 I did when I first started filming makeup tutorials from Youtube, way before I had the HD camera. I really liked this look when I first did it and the quality of the first video wasn't the best, so I decided to refilm it with the new camera.

Tutorial: Persian Midnight 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

Teal is one of my favorite colours so I felt like creating a nice teal smokey eye one night. This technique that I used is one of the easiest ways to create an awesome looking smokey eye.

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).

Nail of the Day - June 3rd, 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, it is officially my 21st birthday in 35 minutes and these are the nails that I have decided to wear for the day. As most of you probably know by now, my favorite colours are teal, purple and orange (weird combo I know), so I decided to use a teal colour as the background of my manicure.

Being that I am turning 21 and I don't feel like I deserve it, and I am still a big kid at heart (I have actually been watching old Disney cartoons for the past three days), I wanted to add something to the nails that was a little immature and kind of girly. I had seen a blog post made by FAB UR NAILS a while ago that I really loved and the colour I used for the manicure inspired me.

This is the finished nail look:

Nail of the Day - April 20th, 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 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 the nail that I did tonight:

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: 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.

 

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: Green and Gold 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 re-recording of a tutorial that I had up on my old channel before I deleted it at the start of the year. I do feel that this recording of the tutorial shows what steps to take to create the look better than what the original one did.

This is one of my favorite looks to do, as it incorporates green and gold, the typical Aussie colours. This also is the look that I wore to my family's Christmas lunch as it was also appropriate for the holiday season.

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.

Tutorial: Green, Teal and Black Smokey

 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 latest tutorial I came up with for a tutorial. It is a smokey teal look with a pop of green on this inner corner. It is more of a night time look because of the thick false lashes and the darkness of the look, then again I don't like to follow the rules and I would probably wear this any time.

The teal that I used is Parrot eye shadow which came out with the Originals Collection in 2007, so if you don't have this or can't find it anywhere you can use a bit of Teal pigment.
