Camouflage Nails

Attention! Stand at ease soldier with these camouflage nails. You don’t want your bare nails sticking out like a sore thumb (pun intended!) so let’s cover them up! 


This is a super easy nail design. I tried it using a basic colours found in army outfits but you can of course choose to do this with other colours. For example if you choosing to do a blue camouflage design, you will need a black, dark, medium and light blue nail polishes. Let me show you how mine was done!


Start off with a neutral base coat colour. Here I’m using China Glaze Kalahari Kiss from the Safari collection. 


Using a dotting tool, draw on random spots using a dark brown colour. I’m using China Glaze Street Chic from the Metro collection. At this point it looks like a giraffe skin! 


Now add some green spots using the dotting tool covering slightly over some of the brown spots. Here I’m using China Glaze Agro from the Hunger games collection. 


Finish off the camouflage look by adding black spots randomly just like you did with the green. Here I’m using China Glaze Liquid Leather. 


Seal off your design with your favourite top coat for a simple yet stunning look! I’m definitely repeating this one but as a blue camo next time!

Revlon Sculpting Blush Palette in Pink

I have never been so disappointed in a Revlon product before… until now! Maybe I chose the wrong colour for my skin-tone but there are so many other things about this palette that makes me think I should have bought some more lip butters instead. Let’s start with what I do love about the palette. It’s simple black compact that has the same sleek look as the other Revlon photo-ready items. I find a highlighter, contour shade and blush in one palette is a great idea too. Having more blush colour in terms of quantity with smaller sections for the highlighter and contour makes perfect sense since I will use more of the blush anyway. The colours as they appear in the pan look perfectly coordinated to work with each other. You get a small brush with soft bristles in your kit to ensure you can just pop this in your bag and you’re off.  In the sunlight Now here is where it all goes downhill like Jack and Jill with their pail of water. Let’s start with the swatches which made me think twic
