OPI Go Goth minis!

I finally received my OPI Go Goth mini collection in the mail and here are the first pics

From left to right:
             Unripened- In the bottle it looks a black base with some duochrome glitter. It looks really awesome and I'll put pics of it up later on
Nevermore- It looks like a glittery, inky purple blue
Sanguine- A deep shimmer, red
Obscurity- Matte black

This is the back of the box, it has 3 different nail designs and how to do them. They look pretty cool, especially the first one called swirls of mist. Btw, if you click on the pictures you can get a better, enlarged view. 

They are super cute little bottles, maybe a little smaller than I expected, but what can you do? I've seen pictures of the colors online and I'm really excited to test them out and I'll definitely be putting up pics of each individual color and I'll comment on the application and formula when those go up. If anyone is interested in buying these, I purchased them on Amazon. 



But on another note,  I couldn't leave my nails alone knowing that I had perfectly good Konad stamping gear and so I stamped the rest of my nails and came up with this.
And I thought it was fantastic! I love the contrast between the black and the sparkles. In person its amazing! 

Until next time,

Urban Decay Is Here!!!!!

My recent Urban Decay Purchase!!!

Urban Decay Loose Pigment Eye Shadow 
Price: $20 for 1.2g/ 0.04 oz 


In order:

Shattered- aqua-blue, very intense and pigmented, with a frost finish.
Graffiti- grassy green, doesn't go on as bold as I expected.
Protest- very dark forest green with silver shimmer.
Gunmetal- dark gray with silver shimmer.
Goddess-  the website describes it as a "midnight-blue" however it is closer to black. It does have blue micro glitter which reflects in the light. (One of my favorites)
Smog- bronze with copper, very pigmented.
x- peachy color with a gold reflection.
Asphyxia- light fuchsia with purple reflecting through.

Overall, they have a very nice color and are pigmented. However, the darker colors are a bit looser and messier. I am not a fan of the packaging because I use my own brushes therefore, it becomes a problem to take out the product.  But if you are not going to be using brushes and are using the applicator they come with then you will have no problem.
Urban Decay only offers 12 colors, which is limited, however if they come out with more colors I plan on buying them. The quality of the pigments are very good and when you apply the color it is very close to what you see in the package.




I applied the pigments over NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in the shade Cottage Cheese. This gave a neutral and consistent color to work over.

With Flash 


                                                                Without Flash


Applicator 



24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil 
Price: $17

Covet- jewel tone teal with a slight shimmery finish. 

In the photo the thin line is done without any color under, the thicker one has the NYX color under (same color used above). 

I love the 24/7 Glide- On pencils because they are very pigmented and smooth to apply. You do not have to keep gliding the pencil over and over to achieve the color. They also last very long and quick to apply. 

Urban Decay offers 9 travel size pencils for $36. (Not bad for 9 different colors). 
They recently offered the 15- year Anniversary 24/7 Pencil Set. This set has 15 full size pencils  (6 are new shades) with a sharpener.  The price is $92. I am definitely considering buying them!!!!



Smoke Out Eye Pencil
Price-$6

So if you are looking for a smokey eye, these are the ones to get. The pencils have two sides, one the pencil and the other has a little sponge in order to smudge the color. The color is matte (no shimmer), and are powdery which allows for a long lasting smokey look. 


Green Goddess-  Forest green 
Maui Wowie-  Khaki 


Big Fatty Colored Mascara
Price- $17

                                       Flipside- Bright Teal


                                  Electric Blue- Bright Turquoise (almost royal blue- hard to see in the photo)

So these mascaras are very bright. I have not tried them yet, so I can't comment on the quality but I really love the colors and how bright they are. It will be fun to try them!!  

Until next time,

My new friend Mr. Konad!!

So my Konad stuff came in today!!! it was an exciting moment in my life and of course I had to test it out.


These are the 2 plates that I got:
                                                M57 on the left and M60 on the right.

For my first try I used the M57, the leopard print. 
I already had on 2 coats of the OPI Simmer and Shimmer from the Burlesque collection. It really has a bluer tint in real life, but my camera obviously didn't capture it. fail. Anyway, for the stamping I used the Konad black polish that I ordered as well. This stuff dries SUPER FAST, so you really have to work fast when applying the polish to the plate, scraping it off and getting it on the stamper and then onto your nails. 

I'll probably be posting some more Konad stuff later on, but definitely check out http://thenailphile.blogspot.com/. She has a really awesome tutorial too.

And I bought my Konad supplies from http://store.ocnailart.com/. They have free shipping with any purchase over $20 and with the code "joshura" you get 30% off any purchase of $30 or more!

Until next time,
The Wicked

Winter Wonderland Photoshoot '10

Since being in Ohio for Winter break, I wanted to put my time here to good use. I went through my closet and saw an amazing white faux fur coat that was my mother's from the 80's. She has a black one as well, but the white one is my absolute favorite. Of course, the first thing to pop into my head was a photoshoot. My good friend Brian got a nice new camera for Christmas, so the idea was golden to both of us. His brother and good friend of mine, Mike, is in some of the shots. I put on some crazy eye makeup, pink lipstick, and hit the road with the boys with only two goals in mind: beauty and fun. These are only some of the pictures:

















I also put together a YouTube video of all of the shots from the photoshoot. There was over 500 pictures that were taken! I absolutely love being in front of the camera, so this was a great opportunity to do something that I love. Check it out and let me know what you think!
