Where did classic nails go?

Hey Bloggers.
Hope you are having a lovely day.

Thought I would just mention something that seems to be missing from all the beauty pages lately.
Now even I have been talking about bright and wild nail colours lately.
I do love a good trend me.

So I decided to paint my nails the other night but I decided didn't want anything too bright for once.
So I went back to a classic look and I remembered how much I loved it.
Yet it's seems to have gone out of fashion.

Yep a it's simple French manicure.
Now of course an traditional French manicure is either beige or pink with white tips.
But I went a little different.
Mainly because I never seem to have any light pink nail varnish.

So I used a shimmery Lilac colour.
Now I know that the white tips aren't that great but it was completely freehand and also done with my more weak left hand.

Yet I love this look and the fact it really is like an art form and I'm quite gutted that it seems to have gone off trend.
Bright colours are all well and good but some outfits need a more sophisticated nail look.

Not like the false nail French manicured nails
But a bit of free hand.
Like the good old days.

So forget pale block colour or even neon brights.
The French is coming back and I for one will be at the front of the queue.

Eye don't believe it.

Hello bloggers
Hope you having a good week.
The latest trend in eyeshadow is colour clashing but...
only two colours stick out as being a must have spring and a summer trend this year.
That is Purple/lilac and yellow/mustard

Worn together they make a great team. You can have more of a wash for the daytime and go extremely vibrant for the night.

I created this look using
Topshop eyeshadow in english teacher for the base of yellow
Then on top of this applying a more gold tone of maui wowie from the urban decay box of shadows.
For the purple I used psychedelic sister again from the urban decay shadows box.

This is the look without eyeliner or mascara.


The night time look is finished off with urban decay 24/7 eyeliner in zero and lashings of mascara. I used Avon's supershock because it really gives volume to eyelashes. This is because of the huge lash brush and it's a bargain too :)

This look is one of my favourites eyeshadow wise for a while and it makes my eyes really pop.
Purple is also a good eyeshadow colour for any eye colour, has it emphasizes and doesn't clash with blues, greens or browns. Basically it's a winner all around.
