Violet Roses & Caviar Nail Art ft Nail Pattern Boldness & Born Pretty Store

I wanted to recreate these nails I wore a while ago cause I liked the glitter placement and playing with micro beads. I used the same techniques in my lizard inspired Godzilla nails seen here. I thought I’d do a tutorial and also change up the colour scheme with some gorgeous purples from Nail Pattern Boldness, plus add these sweet as hell 3D roses from Born Pretty.

GRWM OCC Black Metal Dahlia Lip with Soft Easy Grunge ft Urban Decay & Sugarpill

I wanted to play with my new lip tar from OCC, the metallic one called Black Metal Dahlia. I thought I'd create a quick grungy eye look to go with it using the Naked 3 palette and some maroon tones from Inglot, with a shimmery touch form the Sugarpill Sparkle baby palette.

I've really been enjoying my Naked 3 pallet for any pink, purple or red eye looks cause it does a really good job of adding a touch of sickness around the eyes. Because sometimes I like to look a little “ill" with my make up. ;D

I really felt like adding a few tiny gold spikes to my lips and wearing this out to pizza at my friends house so I decided to test out a new adhesive called  pros-aide. This is the first time I'm trying pros-aide out and honestly it wasn't exactly successful. I think that there is a bit of a learning curve and I'm going to practice using it so I can give you guys some good tips. At the moment it's just me fooling around with it.

Enjoy!

Ok, so it's quite obvious if you've ever seen my fingers that I really like bright ridiculously obnoxious glow in the dark colours. So I whipped them out again to create this in your face french tip manicure with daisies using dotting tools and some crystals in the centre.
