Girly Thread v. Nail Porn, Makeup Lust and everything else girlie girl

maybe that is the look she is going for
if she isn't asking for make-up help, don't give it.

Poor girl. I don't think she gets it though. I would want someone to tell me if I was doing it all wrong
I guess I'd be a bitch to say anything......but I feel sorry for her.

That turquoise color, Akyra, is NICE queenie.

^ I agree with you, Ocean.

Maybe you can ask her if she wants to do makeovers and play around with makeup one day, that way you can kind of get the ball rolling in that direction and you can give her some suggestions, show her your cool Sephora palettes?. Maybe suggest going to a professional makeup counter, since I know you struggle with foundation color as well, and say that you need a new one but get her tested as well.

I find that a lot of girls use wayyyy too much face makeup (I myself have been guilty of this) to coverup zits, scars, flaws etc but if you get a good product and a good routine it really doesn't take much.

Ooh Ocean, Zoe answered this exact question on PRIMPED the other day. And then she answered one of mine! And then she quit. Boo.

OK ladies, I have two new videos. The first is a journey through my Botox injections procedure as a before and after. The second was made after I received some feedback on the first one, that viewers couldn't see the difference to my forehead clearly enough - so this one is just images to try to show it a little clearer.

Before you tell me how shocked you are that I had this done I know my crease wasn't huge, and I know there are plenty of people who deserve to have this done more but I made the decision to have it treated because I was in a position to be able to do it, and I felt it would make a difference to my self-esteem (which it has).

Hope you guys get something out of my experience.

I've been gettin' all fancy with the nail art lately:

 

[spork]

^omg, loving both of those!! how'd you do them??

 

[ocean]

QB- I love the black with rainbow dots!!
The other ones are cute too but the black w/ rainbow dots has me wishing I had the colors available.

I am such a huge, huge fan of these brushes. I ordered a couple last year to test them out as I had heard such huge claims about them being just as good as (some said better than!) MAC brushes.

Shipping was super fast (two weeks from the states) and yes, the claims were true - I use my Sigma brushes more than my MAC ones that tend to shed all over my face.
Now don't get me wrong, these ones still shed - and will shed more if you don't take care of them properly - but they are awesome long-lasting quality brushes and I love love LOVE them.

I'm getting a full set of the brushes (sans brush roll or holder) and the total came to just over AU$80 including shipping - for 12, yes 12 brushes. Pretty awesome value considering how much I love the brushes, imho.

I used the current coupon code for 10% off (MAX2011) - this expires on the 31st of October (in the states), but I'm pretty sure they have active codes most of the time.




I have also become an affiliate because I believe in this company and their product so much. So, you can click on the banner above you'll get a free gift with any order over US$30. The latest one was a kabuki brush fwiw.

Have any of you guys used Sigma brushes before? What do you think of them?

I really love their Make Me Up range - I'd love to get the pink set! But alas, I already have a brush holder, hehe.

No more pedis for me. That big toe nail that got black from running came partially off. Good thing I am into boots now.

Phwoar xeno, that's awesome!! They would be great for gifts too.

 

[Pillthrill]

I looked and looked for this thread the other day to post my candy corn nails!

 

[kytnism]

Phwoar xeno, that's awesome!! They would be great for gifts too.

exactly our thoughts.

my hubby is one of 8 brothers, so xmas shopping to us has always = good times tainted with major financial obligation.
this year we managed to kill all of the femme gifts (via the link above, with free home delivery) for xmas for under $200.00.

were stoked, and KNOW the special ladies in our life will appreciate the personal sentiment.

bishes love smellies

I've just posted up my latest Youtube video covering my Skincare essentials just in time for Summer, for us Southern Hemisphere ladies. :D

It's a long one, but worth watching IMHO - I have a tonne of awesome products to tell you all about.

For the rainbow dots, I just used a dotting tool ( I got mine at Sally's for like $3) and used it on each color after two coats of plain black.

For the rays, I painted vertical stripes down my nails. I started with hot pink in the center, blue on the left and yellow on the right, and I went over the pink again at the end and the result was the purple part. I let that dry then I cut tiny little strips of Scotch tape and placed them in the pattern on my nail and covered it with black. It's important to do this one nail at a time, and pull off the tape while the polish is still wet. It was a painstaking process and took me probably 90 minutes or so but I was bored and just sitting around :D

This is another of my Zoya untrieds, Jem. For some reason I can't get this to photograph correctly, no matter the lighting. This is a swatch picture from Scrangie, and what the color really looks like.

In the bottle, this color has a beautiful gold duochrome flash but I can't get it to show on the nail

 

[euphoria]

fucking drooooooool. looooove this color.


Also your ring is incredible. Where did you get that?

Thanks! My mom got it for me a few years ago at Steinmart.

I was walking through Walmart today and ran into a display of Nicole by OPI's new collaboration line with the Kardashians. Now, say what you will about the Kardashians, but this line is pretty slick. I only allowed myself to get one today, but there are several I would go back for easily. If you watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians, or Khloe and Lamar, you know how Khloe refers to Lamar as "Lam-Lam". The color I picked is called "Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam" which I thought was pretty funny, but the color is TO DIE FOR. Seriously, I can't stop looking at it, and got multiple compliments on it tonight at work. No matter how you feel about the Kardashians, you should definitely check this collection out.
