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 !

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!

Review! WalMart Masks Freeman Pomegranate

I actually used this one a while ago and never wrote it...until now!
I did this one with my roommate and it was okay. I guess I'm not a fan of the peel-off since it was pretty annoying to remove but I know i'm impatient and messy enough already without having to do a peel that makes me feel like I'm removing skin (and some vellus hair with it) from a sunburn. My skin felt fine after the fact, clean and smooth, but my skin rarely reacts to much except for salicylic acid and some really greasy foods. Otherwise I'm just a little red in the face. 
My skin is combination with dry patches so I try to get moisturizing masks as often as I allow myself, but I don't continually do treatments since I do not have the need. So to me this treatment wasn't worth the pain, but it was a $1.37 at Walmart so I'm not hurting financially over it, I have a couple more peel off and mud's to try so I'll see if the fruit used has any difference, but I doubt it. 
My roommate liked it though, it didn't have a high adverse affect that I could see and she said she enjoyed the process of taking the mask off and the little hair it removed. Dries clear(hence the look of peeling skin as well) and if you over apply in places it can take even longer to dry and make the peeling process even more of a pain. I know I avoided my hair but the mask still ended up in my hair and felt like glue stuck in it. I don't remember it being very tight on my face but I was aware when it was mostly dry.
Overall:
If you enjoy peeling masks I say go for it! No points marked off for it beauty potency, I just hated peeling the mask off. Give me a Wash Cloth and water any day!
3/5 pts

next post: These are a few of my favorite things! (on my face)
See you soon!
