Nail of the Day - Purple and Foil

Hey everyone!


I ordered "Designer... the better" from the Muppets by OPI a few weeks ago, and I just received it in the mail. I decided to try the color on, but since it's such an unusual color, I didn't really want to put it on all my nails, so I went for my typical "accent nail" manicure with a dark purple as a base color.


I hope you guys like it!

Recipe : Greek Salad

Hey everyone!


I'm sorry I've been absent this past week, but I've been sick. My throat hurts a lot and make up is the last thing on my mind.

Anyway, I was making dinner tonight I thought I could share with you my very favorite salad: GREEK!

I hope you guys enjoy it!

For this recipe you will need:

- a few leaves of mixed greens
- two tomatoes
- 1/4 of a bell pepper
- 1 spring onion
- a small piece of feta cheese
- broccoli sprouts (optional)

Once you have gathered all the ingredients you need, simply chop them up in small pieces.

Put everything in a salad bowl. 

To make the dressing you will need:

- 1/2 a teaspoon of mild curry

- 1/2 a teaspoon of celery salt

- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil

- 1/2 a tablespoon of lemon juice

- pepper

Once everything is in the salad bowl, mix, serve and enjoy!

Bon appétit!

Love,

Nina.

Bronze Beauty

Hey everyone!


I was browsing the internet looking for inspiration pictures and I found this gorgeous image:

So naturally I fell in love with it and decided to recreate the eye-look. I started by applying a golden base to my eyelids to help the shadows pop and stay in place:

Then I added some metallic gold shadow to the inner half of my lid.

Then I patted some metallic bronze shadow on the rest of my lid.

After that I applied some dark brown shadow to my outer V, since I didn't have any shimmery colors that were dark enough I used a matte shadow, then toped it with a lighter shade of shimmery brown.

Then I applied the same colors on my lower lashline, going from lightest to darkest starting from the tear duct.

Then I lined my upper and lower waterlines, as well as my upper lashline and the outer half of my lower lashline with a black pencil liner that is very creamy and easy to smudge.

Since the lower lashline in the image looks very wet, I added a shiny black eyeshadow base on top of the lower lashline to make it truer to the picture.

The image doesn't really focus on the lashes, and since I already had mascara from earlier I decided not to add any.

And voilà!

I hope you guys enjoyed it! Have a great day!

Love,

Nina.
