Tropical Blue and Purple Eyes
Hello!
I'm back with an eye look incorporating a bright blue . I have to admit, I've been working on overcoming my aversion to blue eyeshadow. I've never been one for playing around with the stuff, mainly for fear I'll end up looking like some 70s/80s disaster a la:
(Side Note: Notice how makeup companies have been selling the same stuff as "new" for over 30 years? In these ads you have long wearing liquid-to-powder eyeshadow and "creamy" powder shadows, all products we're still seeing today...unfortunately, you also have lashline to eyebrow washes of blue eyeshadow being marketed as "everyday" looks, something that's also come back into fashion recently.)
My aversion to blue eyeshadow is one of the reasons I'm having such difficulty coming up with an eye look for Ravenclaw in my Harry Potter series. But, I digress.
What did I do?

Shatter effect nails
Hello!
Today's bite-sized topic is nail art, specifically shatter nail polish. When this trend first came in, I hated it with a fiery passion. I thought it was so tacky! For the most part (lol) it still is. I have come around to the more subtle versions- dark colours with a black shatter topcoat, particularly. So I went out and bought myself a black shatter topcoat and started playing around.
The results are behind the cut :-)
