PT, the only tip for winged liner that I can offer is using a liquid liner. Its nearly impossible with a pencil unless you have a really good quality pencil, but I think liquid is always your best bet. Otherwise its just practice. It looks like you did a great job!

Lately when I do that I've been doing a double wing, I love the look it gives, but its really hard to get the spacing right, and especially hard getting it even on both eyes, but its fun to do and worth it for the look it gives.

(not my eye, just an example I found on google)
 
Okay, this was my first go at winged liner :D The left eye was the tricky one because I'm right-handed, and it was starting to hurt from removing the make-up to re-try it so many times! So I gave up at this:

Beautiful! Thats an amazing first go at it, you got them very even. Nice job! You'll be perfect at that in no time.
 
Thank you lovely!! I'm definitely going to do the wings for special occasions from now on :)
And thank you to you and PT for the suggestion! <3
 
Yeah i like to give my eyes a bit of a wing every now and then, but i have never seen the double wing! Good work Rosie you have that mastered already!
 
Yeah, im impressed N3o, that looks really good!!! and you have beautiful eyes btw!!

I got 2 new OPIs :) this is a rare, rare treat for me because i am an unemployed college kid who normally spends every last cent on booze and McDonalds lol.

I got this one in hopes that it's spring-time shade will inspire winter to hurry along lol.

Yay other people like me. Although I actually kinda work now and cause I finished.

Love the liner N30! I'm so jealous that you can master that so quickly. I've been too afraid to try the double wing. I don't want to end up trying to scrub my eyelids off. lol

Nails, in my last pic you can see that they are currently painted to match my new hair color.
But all it took is one day cleaning at work...
Dusting, washing windows and hanging curtains in all rooms of a 3 story women's shelter to tear them up pretty badly. But I was NOT repainting them to go to the pub. lol Even though I could have, the stuff only takes 1 coat to look like that and dries super fast.
 
I wear winged liner on a daily basis, and I have found that using a cake liner with an eyeliner brush is the best way to do it. Pencils are incredibly difficult and for some reason I just don't like the look of liquid. Personal thing I guess.

If you want, I can post some pictures/method of how I do it every day, but it looks like you got it pretty good!

PI - I love Red Baronness! That's the color I did when I got my Shellac :)

please please pretty please? :D
 
PT I like your new look :)

So my hair straightener that I've had for 6 years I noticed was just kind of running out of steam, and since I just chopped off about 10 inches of my hair, I decided to get a new one so I can do my hair nice every day.

I got this Argan Heat Flat Iron and it came with a free matching curling iron. The plates apparently have the argan oil (moroccan oil) infused in them which helps condition your hair while you straighten. I was a little skeptical at first, but when I used it, it does work really well. It also comes with a little trial size bottle of the actual oil, which you put on damp hair to condition. I haven't used it yet, I figured since I have short hair now it might make it too greasy. But this flat iron is great I really love it! It was cheap too. Only like $65 for both irons because of the sale.

Woohoo great change eh? I did the same thing about 18 months ago and haven't looked back - i was thinking of growing it again, but now i'm like nah.

Shitty photo (imo) but this was last April. I'm thinking of doing something similar, but with a fringe. My last hurrah before i get serious about trying for a bub and then not having time to maintain such a short cut! It was cut into a concave bob in this shot, so shorter at the back (which suits my head the most)

I freaking LOVE having short hair :D
 
All this talk of short hair is making me want to cut mine....I got to work this morning on my first day back from holidays and my boss has had her hair cut shorter as well, very similar to Samadhi's length and style.
But I love my long hair and I know I'll be sad if/when I cut it short. But on the other hand I do think it's time for a change....I've had long hair since I was about 17...

I know exactly how you feel - your hair is *gorgeous*. I've only ever cut my hair once before this - when i was 15 - had another 10 inches or so cut, just below my shoulders - so it took me 17 years go get it cut again, and now i'm hooked. I think it's because i wasn't happy with this last cut (fringe fail) and i want to go back to my old hairdresser and get her to work her magic.
