Purple Zebra Nails!

Sorry about the quality of the photo

I was sitting and thinking of something to do. I realised my nails needed to be repainted. I got this idea to do something interesting. I started with a paintbrush (which I no longer use) and did some swatches of Zoyas 'Demi'. I started adding a bit of white and mixed Demi with White to get a sort of violet colour.
This is how it came out. I used Revlons 'Steel-Her Heart' as the base coat.

Hope you guys enjoyed the look and much as I loved painting it!

Keep Smiling :)

Revlon Custom Eyes Pallette

I jsut recently got this Revlon Pallette, with autumn approaching I wanted something which I can wear witht

The back shows you where to place the colours

This is the look inside, its creative how they added a 'woven' effect to each of the shades.

This is the pigmentation of the colours.
To be honest, it looks ok on my fingers but using a brush it doesnt work so well. I have to go back a few times for it to actually cover my lid.

Pigmentation of the last shade.

Overall the product is good for a quick eye look, as all the shades are in one pallette. But the one downfall of the product is the pigmentation (but maybe its supposed to be that way? Who knows!)

A quick tip: when picking up the colour, brush it against the same direction of the lines in the shade (horisontal or vertical) is actuall makes a difference to how much product you pick up!

My rating: I would give this product a 3/5 stars

Keep smiling :)

On my nails today- Touch of Mauve


I got this beautiful colour yesterday from Revlon called Touch of Mauve. Since where I live we're hitting Autumn, its time for such a dusty shade. I love that it compliments my skin so well! Because alot of the 'neutrals' available are not really well suited for my nails/ skin colour.

One of the downsides for this product was definitely the applicator. It was very streaky and I struggled to get a nice even application. I love Zoyas applicators- maybe they should implement those brushes in their products!

Anyways, quick update on whats on my nails!

keep smiling :)

Ravishing Revlon Colours


Steel her Heart

Sweet Tart

Revlon red

Swatches of the colours. The grey is darker on the nails than in the bottle!



I've had these three polishes for a while and I thought I would do a post because I absolutely love them! I tend to use the red and pink in the summer time for my toes and the grey for my fingernails for the winters.

Grey- Steal Her Heart
Red- Revlon Red
Pink- Sweet Tart

I've had alot of compliments for the pink, because its a unique colour which I havnt really found anywhere.

A few strokes later...
These polishes are good quality and the application is easy. They dry almost instantly!

Rating 4/5

Smokey Eye On The Go

Ill be using these two products (Revlon Colour Stay pallete in 09 Sterling Rose and the Revlon Colour Stay Eyeliner in Black), along side my brushes to create a simple smoky eye look.
These are the shades I will be working with.
1. light brown for the lid
2. Highlight for the brow bone
3. Silver for the crease
4. for the outeredge of the eye

1. Apply any shadow base all over the eye lid and below the eye.

2. Apply the light brown shade from the Revlon Colour Stay Pallete all over the lid remembering not to pass the crease.

3. Now apply the Silver shade to the outer edge of the eye dragging the colour across the crease, like so.

4. Now apply the black to the outer corner of the eye in a patting motion (so the colour is more noticeable).

5. Apply the rosy pink shade as the highlight to the brow bone and now blend out the black with a blending brush to make it look less harsh.

6. Something like this. By adding the black to the other edge of the eye it creates another dimension making yours eyes really stand out!

7. Now apply any eyeliner, I am using Revlon Colour Stay eyeliner in black. Apply this along your water line/lash line.

8. Apply the eyeliner to the top lid as well. Get an angled brush and pick up some of the black shade in the pallete and smudge out the harsh lines of the eyeliner

9. Wallah! You are now done, with your simple smoky eye look (you might want to make it a bit more dramatic by curling your lashes and applying mascara).
