LOTD: Tron: Legacy-Inspired Makeup!

My boyfriend and I decided a couple nights ago to watch Tron: Legacy for a second time because we both love the movie so much. While watching it, I got inspired and decided to do a look based off the movie. The movie has a pretty basic colour scheme; mostly white, black, bright blue and orange/yellow. Therefore, I decided to take inspiration from the colour scheme and the makeup in the movie.

I drew inspiration from the makeup on the Sirens, the programs that get the other programs ready for the games and I also drew inspiration from the scene where Sam and Clue are battling on the light cycles.
Hopefully you all like it :)

Finger Paints Special Effects Flakey Swatches - Asylum, Flashy, Flecked

I come to you today bearing swatches of the Finger Paints Flakies! I'm so excited because these are my first flakies. I looked high and low for Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure to no avail. Likewise for the Essie Luxeffects collection, with the same result. So when I heard about the Finger Paints collection, I ran out as soon as I could to get as many as I could ; )

I picked up 3 of the polishes: Asylum, Flashy, and Flecked.

First, we have Asylum; this is an orange and royal blue flakey. It has to be my least favourite out of the three, but even then I love it. It's very sparse which is why it's my least favourite. These swatches have two layers of Asylum and it still looks much more sparse than the other two.

I also have in these swatches Flashy which is your traditional orangey gold flakey. This is what I imagine Hidden Treasure or the Essie Luxeffects would have looked like, so I am happy with this one. It was much more full and this is only one coat.

These are all swatched on top of 2 coats of Sally Hansen Midnight in NY.

Finally, I have Flecked which is my absolute favourite of the bunch. It's a green flakey but in the light it has this brilliant teal colour. It's amazing, rich and wonderful. Beautiful.

Which one is your favourite? Have you picked up any of this collection yourself? I'm so upset I missed out on Twisted, but I'm happy with my purchases!

Asylum Explosion

My Sally's had the new Fingerpaints Special Effects collection out when I went yesterday! But they were already sold out of Twisted... on the first official day of selling... Go figure!

I'm not giving you any official swatches today, by the end of the week I will. Today I just added an accent nail to my Orly Coffee Break (which I'm still absolutely in love with). The accent is done with Sally Hansen Midnight in NY with Fingerpaints Asylum on top. Beautifulll.
Excuse my cuticles. My hands are so dry from the coldddd.

Orly Androgynie Swatch & FOTD

Today I bring you a swatch of a nail polish I was really excited when I bought it at Sally's (on sale!) a few days ago. The nail polish is Orly Androgynie; it's a black based nail polish with a small golden sparkle, a slightly larger silver and almost holographic rainbow sparkle, and a large rainbow glitter. The nail polish looks gorgeous in the bottle. It applied well, I have on 3 coats on most nails, but others took only 2.

My problem with this nail polish is that there isn't near enough sparkle when applied as in the bottle! I was so excited to have some spectacularly glittery nails for new years, and that was not the result. It's still a gorgeous nail polish, but not what I was expecting.

In addition to this nail polish, I also picked up my first bottle of Seche Vite top coat. Besides its repulsive smell (even for a nail polish...) it works amazing. So glossy and dries so quickly. And not just to the touch like most fast drying top coats; it seems like the nail is sufficiently dry to actually proceed in activities soon afterwards!

Onto the swatches. It was really really difficult to capture, my camera was acting up and the sun had already gone down.

See how gorgeous it looks?

Had an idea for a new years look to make it more glittery.

And finally, just my look of the day. I still cannot figure out why my pictures turn out like shit. :/

New Years Eve Look

I come to you bearing a look that I was trying out for new years eve. I could have spent way more time on this and made it look better... but it's late and I'm tired!

Tomorrow I plan on swatching a new nail polish I got yesterday from Sally's! It's gorgeous.

Anyway, this look is a purple smokey eye with bright red lips! It was kind of inspired by a very popular look in Selena Gomez's "I Love You Like a Love Song" (:
