Busy Girl Nails Fall 2013 Challenge Week 4: Pumpkin Patch

How do you like your pumpkins? It's a favorite amongst my family and boyfriend so I recently started learning with my mom's help how to cook it. But today's "Pumpkin Patch" is certainly one I can cook up on the spot! 


Get the look:
1. Start off with two coats of a rich orange colour like Orly Flicker. This is from the Fall 2012 collection. Apply a fast drying top coat to lock in this colour.


2. Using KleanColor Mandarin Burst (a neon yellow orange color) either use the brush from the bottle or a small nail art brush to apply cut out of this polish on top of your orange base color. 
3. Repeat in other shapes using another orange color. I used a medium tone orange acrylic paint.
4. Using a black stripper brush polish outline the shapes where the colors meet.

NB: You can stop here if you like by adding a top coat; this will be a color block design.


5. To complete your patchwork, using the same black stripper brush polish, add small stitches to the first set of black lines created.
6. Seal in your design with a fast drying top coat like Seche Vite.

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

Marble Hearts: BCD Nail Art Challenge (Day 13)

Today's challenge utilizes the technique of dry water marbling to create your pattern. I'm doing a twist of it but doing a needle drag i.e using a needle or any fine point for just a smidgen of swirl to the colours used.
