Look #2 Trouble Makin' Booty Shakin'



What I used to create this look
Urban Decay Jones e/s in all over lid
MAC Saffron e/s from the Surf Baby collection on outer lid and in the crease
MAC Short Shorts e/s from the Surf Baby collection as highlight under eyebrows and in inner corners
Urban Decay Money e/s from the UD loves NY Book of Shadows on inner lower lash line. This part is optional to add a bit of fun to the look.



This is a fool proof look that always looks gorgeous. I think it might be best for those with blue eyes. Orange being Blue's opposite on the color wheel.



Chilly Down!

Look #1 Summer Berry

I always like things that have clever names. (This is why I have all my OPI polishes.)  I'm not claiming that I always come up with anything clever, but the blue and purple of this made me think of berries and, well, it's summer....so Summer Berry.  You can do this with any TWO colors.  Put a coat or two of your first color, wait for it to dry, then carefully paint a French Tip at the top.  Note: This does take a lot of practice so don't think yours will be perfect if it's the first time you are trying this.

On my left hand, I used a matte top coat on my pointer and middle finger.  I usually like to do something different.....just to see if people notice.  I've been doing it since I saw the movie The Fifth Element.  Zorg's secretary has two red nails and the rest are light blue/silver.

On the right hand, I switched the polishes on my ring finger.  Make all of yours the same or give it a little switch up.  Whateve!


I used: OPI "Ogre the Top Blue", OPI for Sephora "Hell to the No".  My top coats are Nubar "Seal & Shine" and Essie's "Matte About You"


For toes: "Ogre the Top Blue", "Hello to the No" and LA Colors Color Craze "Jewel Tone"

I guess you can't see the glitter, but it's there.  I just put the blue on first (since it's lighter) then evened out the middle with the purple since it's darker.  I put two coats of the glitter polish on to finish it up!  (p.s. I didn't realize my toes are so short until I saw this picture.  Wow!)
