Inspired gradient

Hi all :>
Last post was about a combo I made because I wanted to recreate a makeup I saw some time ago:

(image linked from http://www.eyeshadowlipstick.com, one of the best makeup pictures blog :>)

I'm not talking about the nails, but the LIPS: how awesome are they? Blue to purple to green-gold glitters gradient <3

Since that blue lips are not so good on me (otherwise, you can bet on it, I'd wear them), I decided to do my nails instead!

Tools needed:

- my previous mani;

- 2B n. 227, seen here;

- P2 "Rebel", seen here;

- Nfu-Oh n. 56 (a gift from my Polish darling *____*);

- makeup sponge, little brush.

I made a gradient with the blue 2B blended in the purple P2 (few passages), then applied the flakies on the center of the tip with the brush.

Gradient was more visible in real life, and unfortunately glitters weren't the very same colour of the makeup picture, anyway I really liked it :>

The picture below shows the entire look in daylight, pretty, isn't it? :>

And one in daylight, indoor:

The blue and the purple were very deep, they blended really well each other.

Have a nice day/night/whatever and thanks for your attention ;¬)

A little trip to Bruxelles...

... to buy me some polish I cannot find in Italy :^D

Truth is that, while visiting Bruxelles, I saw that chain of markets named Kruidvat I read about in some dutch and french nailblogs.
I knew it sells some brands unavailable here in Italy, so I took the chance to bring some shades home which were on my wishlist :>


Gosh "Holographic" (see you in spring/summer :D), Catrice "I Sea You", "Sold Out Forever" and "Clay-ton, My Hero"; then, a shimmery blue by 2B (never heard of that brand before, it costed me less than €4) - totally dupe of these blues, I know... Why did I buy it?

And those two Rimmels I really wanted, "Sky High" (it's a little darker in reality) and "Blue My Mind": see how... blurple is it? :^D


Have a nice day/night/whatever and thanks for your attention ;¬)
