Eye Bling - Gold

Hiya!

I thought this was a awesome look for night time: gold eye bling with some browns and bronze!

If you like, read on...

What I used:

•  The good old Urban Decay NAKED palette in SMOG and DARKHORSE
• MAC Paint Pot in CONSTRUCTIVIST
• Barry M Glitter Liquid Eyeliner in 11 GOLD
• Rimmel Gel Pot Liner in BLACKEST BLACK
• Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl  Eyeliner in COCOA BEAN
• MAC Zoom Lash Mascara in BLACK

• Eye Rock Glimmer Topaz Crystal Tattoos
• Urban Decay Brush (within the NAKED palette)
• MAC 231 Small Shader Brush
• MAC 219se Pencil Brush
• MAC 224 Tapered Blending Brush 

Remember: Use any colours/brushes you have, this is just an example :)

Got all that?  Lets begin...

Step One

Apply your paintpot with the small shader brush over your whole eyelid and under your eye, making a small flick at the end

Step Two

Use the shade HALF BAKED with your Urban Decay brush and apply to the inner corner of your eyes, and blend to about 1/2 across the eyelid

Step Three

Apply from DARKHORSE in the outer corner and use the blending brush to blend over your eyelid

Step Four

Apply the gel eyeliner across your eyelid, following the natural shape of your eye

Step Five

Apply your kohl eyeliner along your waterline, smudging slightly under your eye

Step Six

Cut the eye bling to shape, peel off the backing paper and place carefully on your eyelid, hold down for a few seconds to warm up the adhesive, and slowly peel back.

Use the Barry M gold eyeliner and line just above the black eyeliner, and under the outer corner of your eye. I used the shader brush to sweep over the rest of the bling, to blend it all together

Add lashings of mascara ( or falsies) and.......

Taa-Daa!

What you guys think?  I just threw those colours together but you could be creative with it!

Leopard Print Nails - Rawrrr!

Show off your wild side with leopard nails! They're so easy and quick to do, but look so professional!

The great thing about this design is you can use any colours you want! Be creative! For this tutorial, I used:

• Barry M Instant Nail Effects 320 Foil
• Barry M Nail Paint 136 Tangerine
• Barry M "All in one" Basecoat, Topcoat & Nail Hardener Nail Paint NP54
• Kiss Nail Art Paint in Black 

Before you start, make sure you have some scrap paper to wipe any excess nail varnish, and, if you like, find a leopard print pattern to use as a reference

Step One

Always apply a basecoat before using colour, to protect your nails and to give a smoother finish

Step Two

Apply your gold colour

Step Three

Use your nail art brush to make "c" shapes on your nails in different directions, don't worry if some lines are thicker or thinner than others, that's what gives it the effect we're after!

Step Four

Making sure your nails are dry, take a thin nail brush (or clean the one you just used),and dip into your orange colour and carefully fill in around the "c" shapes

Step Five

Apply a topcoat to protect from chipping and voila! Leopard print nails!

Practise makes perfect with this technique, practise on some paper first if you like!

Hope you guys enjoyed! Let me know if you give it a go!  Rawwwrrrr!
