FOTD - 80's Makeup

Last Saturday, my sister threw her husband an 80's themed surprise birthday party. She went all out; piles of candy, black lights, rubics cube cake, ultimate 80's cds and records.

I didn't have any "80's clothing" so I decided to do something wild with my makeup, instead.

Voila:

It took a while to get my hair to stay up like this. I don't usually style it so high and with it being a bit on the short side, it took quite a few bobby pins.

I tried to create two different gradients on my eyes. On the top lid, peach to hot pink. On the bottom, blue to green.

I first tried a lighter pink, but thought the darker one was a bit more out there.

Hey! Check out my nail post {here}

Have you ever gone to an 80's party? Would you rather go wild on your makeup or your clothes?

FOTD - Rainforest Eyes

This look was inspired by my current t-shirt (which my husband is super excited about). It's a grey muscle shirt covered in leopards. I think it's hilariously awesome. Have you noticed I'm a bit of a cat lady?

When I think of leopards, I think of lush green plants, their paws softly hitting patches of dirt as they run. I wanted to create a look similar to my favorite Mossy Green look, but with a redish twist. I wish these pictures had come out better, so you could see how much more intense this one is. I guess that's what I get for taking pictures at night!

Hope you enjoy this look as much as I do!

NOTD - Space Nails!

Hello all! I've been wearing nail polish pretty often lately and have been looking around for some neat tutorials to try out. I found this one on the space nails trend by Cutepolish that I decided to try out a few days ago. My nails still need a bit of cleaning up on the sides, but I wanted to show you guys because I'm pretty proud of how the design turned out.

I used quite a few nail polishes for this look (you can view Cutepolish's tutorial on this nail to get more details). 

{What I used}:

Cosmetic sponge

Tweezers

Essie protein base coat

Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris (black)

Wet n Wild 449c (white)

L'Oreal After Hours (dark blue, swatch above)

NYC Lexington Yellow

ZOYA Shelby (pastel, bubblegum pink)

Sinful Colors in Nail Junkie (blue-green with loads of glitter, swatch above)

Confetti Ice Ice Baby (glitter with white and blue flecks)

Essie Good to Go top coat

"Space Nails" doesn't sound as chic as "Galaxy Nails," but I like the sillyness Space Nails brings. There is no filter on the nail picture -- just thought I should toss that out there! I'll post a cleaner picture of my nails soon. Hope you liked them!

Have you tried the Space Nails trend? Share your pictures!
