Lacey Eyes

Right now, Makeupbee is running a competition in collaboration with Camille la vie and Makeup Forever. The purpose is to create a look inspired by one of the prom dresses by Camille la vie, and checking these dresses out it is impossible not to get inspired by the tremendous variety of colors, glitters and textures.

The dress that tickled my fantasy the most was this cute little pink creation adorned with black lace, and I decided to create a look based upon its most prominent features.

First, I considered putting lace fabric along my eye but I thought it would be fun just to draw the lace with liquid eyeliner.

This eye look is best matched with bubble gum pink lips and pink blush. As a blush I used Sugarpill's Dollipop eyeshadow.

31 Day challenge (v.2!) Day 15: Delicate Print

Hello ladies! I am so sorry I'm posting so late today. Like my hubby posted earlier, I was having some technical difficulties.  Camera battery was dead when I went to take pics, and I had some stamping difficulties.

First, somehow I managed to pick up the wrong makeup pads. I use these to clean my stamper and scraper, as well as my stamping plates. So, as I was stamping, my happy little makeup pads started shredding and leaving all sorts of fluff on my plate and my stamper. This led to picking fluff out of my design with tweezers, which in turn led to some of the design lifting/smearing. Lemme tell ya, this was one of those "I really wanna throw this stamper against the wall" manis. This on the heels of completing my mani last night, only to somehow manage to fail to realize it was not drying and destroy my left hand almost immediately left me one grumpy girl.

So, I just left well enough alone sine I had a busy day scheduled and no time to re-do anything. I'm not pleased with the less than stellar stamping and all the fuzzies stuck in my nails, but hey...we ll have fails, right?

So today's prompt was Delicate Print. This prompt always befuddles me since it can be taken so many ways. But I went with something that is delicate, and printed it on my nails. ;)

The idea behind this mani was lace stamping. Since my plate with actual lace patterns hasn't arrived yet, I decided to do some layered stamping. I used my fishnet image from my BM plates, as well as a flower image from my Red Angel plates to create the lace effect. It actually came out really great the first time, then I ruined those and ran out of my usual make up pads and ended up with this. It's actually pretty cool IRL, but you know how macro mode is!

I used Spoiled by Wet N Wild in Show Me Some Skin as my base color, and stamped using Konad Black. Show me some skin is actually the only nude that I own since I was convinced I do not like Nude polish. Funny thing is that once I had it on, I really liked it! Go figure! Only downside was that this polish did not want to dry. It dried to the touch but was still squishy underneath, as evidenced by my kinda mushed middle fingernail!

Anywway, here is my take on delicate print:

I really like the concept here, but I think next time I'll use a different floral stamp (and ya know, avoid the fuzzies) since this one just didn't seem to cover enough to me. Fun experiment though!

French manicure with hand painted lace

Hola!!!!!!
primer lunes de otoño yay! mi estación favorita del año, adoro el clima y los colores de los arboles en este tiempo :D
Como todavía no he hecho diseños para esta temporada les traigo uno neutral, con blanco y negro, un french pero con encaje pintado a mano, clásico, simple y elegante tanto para una salida a cenar como para el trabajo.

Para este disenio solo utilicé: color club-frenchy, platinum magic base coat-pure ice y pintura acrílica negra de la marca Mizza. solo como observación quiero decirles que el esmalte frenchy de color club cubre perfectamente en dos capas, y se los digo por que mis unias en esta foto estaban manchadas por pintar cabello sin guantes jeje (usen guantes siempre :s) y como pueden observar no se ve nada de manchas !!!
