Ruby and Millie: Green nails.

So a huge sorry for the lack of posts lately.

I have been so behind the last couple of weeks but it will get better.
Promise. :)

Now this week and last week Boots have been having a 75% off sale on Ruby and Millie products.

This nail varnish (Which I will talk about now) I managed to get in Manchester.

Now I love green nail varnish but I usually go for a more dark or metallic green.

So this one was a more unusual choice for me.

This is what it looks like on my nails in a low light.

And this is what it looks like in the bottle.

The colour is neon-ish or has my mum decided to call it... puce green but if your looking for it Ruby and Millie call it colour 710C.

Now the main benefits was that it only took 3 coats to get a fantastic deep coverage, which is good for a quite light/neon colour.

It is a colour I wouldn't normally go for but it's fast becoming a new favourite of mine.

Plus it's bang on trend for the summer.

A winner in my book.

If your Boots store has any colours left it's just £2.50.

You can also get it for a short time (Until stock runs out) online at www.boots.com

Do you think it's a nice colour? Is green really in?

Envious eyes. Well you will have.

Hello bloggers

Hope you have had a good evening.

Emerald green and jade green have hit a new stride this spring/summer.

Not just in clothes case in point Jamie Winstone

but in make up too.

However the green is multi layered giving a 3D effect.

Look magazine showcase perfectly how to achieve the look at home.

I also decided to give it a go.

Luckily I have a lot of urban decay products at home but I didn't have the exact colours so I just experimented till I got it right.

I like to think I didn't do too badly and I must admit I love this look, it's edgy (Very Jessie J style) but it's extremely wearable.

I used urban decay eyeshadow in Haight for the base, Loaded for the dark green on the outer corners and Flipside for the 3D middle effect.

This is how it looks finished.

I'm going out on Saturday.

So I will be definitely doing this look again.

With this look though you need to keep the lips simple and you can't make your cheekbones to pink or red because it can clash with the harshness of the green.

All you need for your cheekbones is some highlighter really.

On Saturday I will show you a picture of me fully done up.

Hopefully you will give it a go too.

Pictures welcome.
