Easy peasy! for the joker jacket I painted Sage in the city, about two coats, then add purple leaving a green triangle for his shirt (which can also be orange if you prefer I use the animated series for reference), Add a cute little bow on top for his neck. I then use black to add lines for his lapel and buttons. Then pink or yellow for his acid flower.

Mani of the week, Make Up Practice and fun!

So my manis this week were
Sinful colors: savage and Black on Black.

Then a new ELF Python Nail Polish. 
Its a dark green with a light green glitter. Looked black to someone today -_- but they told me I'm the only they liked black on :D 

Then I've been watching Make up tutorials and tried to do a cute glittery blue fairy make up look I was considering for a rave.

Xbox Controller Nails:Tutorial!

Tutorial Time!
One of my favorite past times in gaming. Especially on my Xbox 360. (User= Welldweller)
So I decided to show my love by designing some nail art!
So first you need your colors:

                                       
A Matte Coat is needed for this tutorial, Then a Grey, Black, Yellow, red, Blue, Green, and White.
(Don't forget the Base Coat!)
and a detail brush!
There are five designs to choose from !
So lets get started.
Paint your five colors Which is Grey(China Glaze Elephant walk), Yellow(China Glaze Solar Powered),
 Red (OPI Big Apple Red), Blue (OPI Ogre the top Blue), White First (China Glaze White on White), and Then my green was very sheer neon over it (Sinful colors Irish Green).
Then a coat or two of Matte Top Coat. (OPI Matte Envy).
Paint a green kind of roundish x over the grey, and to simulate the player lights I painted the green lines around with spaces in between. Then I used white for the letters first and then!
Paint over them with the colors! It lets them stand out even more. 
No Top coat is needed since you need the effect.
and thats it! 
Pretty easy and shows off your gamer love!
I hope to rock these soon!
I also assume they'll look more even on smaller nails rather than a nail wheel. 
I'll post the results !
xoxoxoxoxo




Mani of the week: Oktoberfest!

I did a little shopping today and I caved and got OPI It's always Oktoberfest In the Germany collection. I mean...I'm German so I have to get at least one right?
Right!
So Basecoat, Color and I bought another bottle of China Glaze Fast Forward top coat. Still my favorite fast drying for regular ol' nails. NOT NAIL ART it smears!
On my nails:
it is such a beauteous purple I adore it!.... but its more red in artificial light. 
I also got a new Venique and OPI Matte envy. 
It works very well and I hope to do some neat Matte art with it. I read reviews that it has formaldehyde in it so left too long on your natural nail and it will stain yellow. The Venique is Deviant Little sneaker and is a sheer black with Glitter. SO i'll probably wear it over another color. 
I need to remember to get more gelous soon toooo <3
I also bought some more sinful colors and found a good color close to Lumpy Space Princess. Its called Amethyst and it looks like a cheap match to my OPI Planks a lot Which is fabulous! I hope to find more cheap versions of my Adventure Time Nail colors for people on a budget. (I mean good close colors)
I also got the lovely blue called Savage.
And some more nail wheels! Lets see what designs I can cook up!
See you next time!

Review! Freeman Pineapple mask

Smeelllss sooo goood!
If you love pineapple you'll love this!
It didn't seem like it had a lot in the package but it was more than plenty to cover neck and face. (it was a little gobbed on for me).
So you have a nice clean face and put on the product like so:
It's pretty yellowish but it looks clear in the photo. 
oh and I'm using velcro rollers to keep my bangs back, a neat trick my friend taught me.
so Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off with Warm Water and Voila!
Clean face!
It had a nice tingling sensation, not too strong but kind of like when you use astringent. SO it didn't hurt which is awesome and my face feels very smooth and soft. I was quite happy and will most likely purchase the full size. 
Overall:
lovely and you don't have to wait for it to dry just 10 minutes! Great for morning pick me up or a relaxing night. 5/5 pts!
Love it!

Tutorial! Left 4 Dead Med pack nail! Bonus! Peelz!



So if you know me at all you'd know that Left 4 Dead/2 is my favorite game ever. period.
There are close runner ups (fallout, Bioshock, Star Wars) but I can play Left 4 Dead over and over. I buy all the DLC and have even cosplayed as a character :D
(image not mine)
So the finished Nail on a Nail wheel:
No top coat just the design.

So lets get the tutorial started! 
Heres what you will need:
White , red, black, base coat, top coat and some nail art brushes!
I used a long detail brush on my nails and on the wheel I used a flat brush and detail.
so after putting on a base coat, paint your nail white. 
I used China Glaze White on White 
Then take the detailed brush with black polish and make three lines two vertical and one horizontal to simulate the zippers on the med pack
I used Sinful Colors Black on Black and I didn't line around the nail just as a straight line.
Then Taking the detailed brush make a red cross and fill the top in red except for a rectangle that you can add black marks to make it seem like it says first aid or leave blank. 
I used OPI Big Apple Red.
Then you can top coat which should even it out. 
I used Seche Vite which is the best for nail art. 

and thats it! Easy peasy!
you can clean around the nail with a cotton swab or nail tees
There's also the water trick/shower trick where if you soak you hand in water you can peel the excess off very easily. There is also the Vaseline/ lotion trick where you put that around your nails first but I don't like it to get on my brushes. 

Bonus Round!
Peelz

Nail Wheel Peelz

Tools!
Base coat, white, yellow, blue, red, gray, black and top coat. Detail brush as well.

So after Base coat another coat of white
China Glaze White on white
then the Yellow  in the shape of the yellow on the label. Kinda like a wave.
i also did it in a box ike a label instead of over the whole nail.
I used China Glaze Solar Power.
then Blue leaving a space for the red in the lablel.
I used OPI Ogre the Top blue
then fill in the red.
I used OPI Big apple red
Then i added a bit of gray for the label on the side, cant see it much but its like an "ingredients" list.
I used China Glaze Elephant Walk
and black on the other side for a barcode and some dotting on the yellow for words. Sinful colors black on black
Then white dotting on the blue label for words and the warning white line on the bottom.
Then top coat and clean up!
(Seche Vite)



Yes first Tutorials done! I hope to have more to come soon!

Review! Freeman Cucumber Peel

So this is a bit of a downer because I LOVE Cucumber (except to eat) but this just made me dizzy and I broke out a little bit so I'm not sure what happened but it wasn't great, or even good. 
It smelled entirely of alcohol, which is what made me dizzy and irritable. 
I had wanted to give this as a gift to my aunt but now I don't cause of how much I disliked it. It was really just the smell since i can't say for sure it made me break out, so fix the alcohol smell in the formula and I'd probably recommend it, but until then....adieu. 

Next a tut for total realsies!
