Trees & Snow

Hm, apparently I only did my nails twice this past week.  

First I did this red and green look. I used the Nailside tutorial for the abstract tree using striping tape and loved it! The red is Essie "Ruby Slippers", the tree is A England "Saint George" and the litter is a Rite Aid snowman one.

Then I did this snowflake look. I'll post the tutorial below that inspired me. Yes, she did a much better job! I was a bit sloppy but didn't care, I really liked the overall look. I used Milani "Peach Creme" as the base and then Julep "Kate" for all of the white.

Brights

I love tribal nails! I've gotten better and freehanding straight lines and such so I'm quite happy with how these turned out. Practice, practice!

This one was inspired by Copy That Copy Cat. I loved how bright it was!

The gradient is hard to see here but it goes from orange to pink. The tribal nail was inspired by  Nailside.

Speaking of brights, I love bright  lips this time of the year. You can keep your eye makeup very simple which is nice when it's hot out and just focus on the lips which are easier to re-apply later. Here I'm wearing NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in "Addis Ababa", a favourite of mine. These are like applying velvet! They apply so nicely and wear time is pretty good. They are a bit drying since they are matte so you have to make sure to moisturizer your lip well before applying. Or just wear a balm over top.
