My Weekly Macro: Vol. 9

♥ Milani Baked Powder Blush in Fantastico Mauve. 

Hey Beauties :)
I'm so impressed with the baked blushes from Milani! Fantastico Mauve is a gorgeous, dusty mauve with base swirls of pink, purple and white with tiny flecks of golden shimmer. When you blend everything together, It turns into a beautiful deep rich mauve. Fantastico Mauve is extremely pigmented, so a little goes a long way with this one. I highly recommend that you use a light hand with this blush, since it's so pigmented. You can always go back and apply more, if you want more color on your cheeks :)

Nails Of The Day: Bahama Mama


Hey Beauties :)
I have been really into darker nail polishes lately, and today I'm wearing Bahama Mama from Essie. Bahama Mama is a beautiful creamy, deep plum nail polish. It's very streaky on the first coat, but it gets better on the second coat. If you want your nails to look even, you definitely have to apply three coats.

Everytime I paint my nails, I use my favorite top coat which is Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. I love how glossy it makes my nails look, how it evens out any mistakes that I have made, and how quick it makes my nail polish dry. I absolutely love Bahama Mama, and it's a great choice for the Fall :)


What do you think about Bahama Mama? What are you guys wearing on your nails at the moment? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Tutorial: How To Create Vampire Nails For Halloween


Hey Beauties :)
Halloween is right around the corner, so I thought I would celebrate it by doing a nail art tutorial for you guys. This tutorial is inspired by the awesome vampire nails that MissJenFABULOUS on YouTube created and shared on her channel. This look is a very fun and easy to do for Halloween, especially if you are a fan of vampires. If you want to learn how you can create this really cool nail look for Halloween, then just keep reading :)

 1. Start of by painting your ring finger with a medium/dark red nail polish.

 2. When the red nail polish is dry, take a black nail polish striper and start creating two lines like I have done here. 

 3. Take a black nail polish, and fill in the area between the two lines that you created with the black nail polish striper. 


4. Take your white nail polish striper, and start creating the vampire teeth. When the teeth are all done, finish of with a top coat to protect your design from chipping away :)


Products I've Used:  
♥ Elf Cosmetics Nail Polish in Light Red. 
♥ L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Art Laquer in Black. 
♥ Wet n' Wild Fastdry Nail Color in Ebony Hates Chris. 
♥ L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Art Laquer in White. 
♥ Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

What do you think about the finished look? I think my vampire teeth turned out okay, but I definitely want to practice more. If you want to, you can do the vampire teeth on all your nails. I decided to just do my ring finger and keep the rest of my nails black. Next time I'm on eBay, I'm going to pick up a black and a white nail art pen, because they are a lot easier to work with than the regular nail polish stripers :)

I hope that you like this post and that you had fun reading it, because I had a lot of fun creating them :)

What do you think about the tutorial? What Halloween nail art tutorials do you want me to do next? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

♥ KleanColor Nail Polish in Red Hot.

Hey Beauties :)
This week's macro post, is all about this nail polish from KleanColor called Red Hot. Red Hot is a beautiful tinted red jelly base with red hex glitters. It has a very thick consistency, which is build able and easy to apply. I love using Red Hot on top of either a dark red, or a black nail polish. I love how those two combinations look with the pretty red hex glitters in this nail polish from KleanColor :)
