Bright Magenta Lips

Amy — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 05:00:40 +0000

I had an interview at a potential school last month, and needless to say I was aiming to impress. I decided to go for a polished look: light on the eyes and cheeks with VERY bright lips. In the pictures the lip color looks more red/pink than it was in real life.. it’s actually much more purple/blue toned.

Essie Pink Parka Pedicure

Amy — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 05:00:15 +0000

So, I hate feet. They’re generally just not very pretty, and I totally understand why people have an aversion to seeing pedicure pictures. But for my last professional pedicure (back in May), I had the nail tech use Essie Pink Parka… and it’s amazing, so I had to share! It was unbelievably bright, it actually surprised me every time it caught my eye how neon it was. The pink was what I call a Barbie pink–a hot, true, bright pink.

I don’t claim to have the cutest feet in the world, but I do take care of them and this was right after a pedicure, so hopefully you won’t be too grossed out if you decide to check out my pedicure!

Nails of the Day: MAC Malibu Peach & Galore Pink

Amy — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:07:09 +0000

I gave myself a little preemptive manicure this evening and I thought I’d share the swatches of MAC’s new nail lacquers from the Spring Colour Forecast collection. I like both colors well enough, though I think Galore Pink is my favorite. It is a true blue pink lacquer in a cream formula. It’s a bit on the sheer side, which can actually be very pretty if you don’t mind seeing nail beneath the color, and pictured below are my results after three generous coats of Galore Pink.

Malibu Peach is described on the MAC website as a bright creamy tangerine, and it is that to a point, but I think the really beautiful thing about the color is the soft peach it retains even while being relatively bright. I think this aspect is what keeps it from being neon. It’s nice, though I would have loved to see MAC do some neon color polishes. Anyway, Malibu Peach applies more opaquely than Galore Pink despite the fact that they’re both creams. This inconsistency is pretty typical of MAC nail lacquers. The swatches below show my results after two generous coats of Malibu Peach.

Please excuse the wonky nail on the middle finger with Malibu Peach. Stupid gas pumps…grr. Also, I dislike photographing my right hand due to my pen-holding bump.. but I”m keeping it real! So no shame.
