First up today, a bit of housekeeping – apologies to any bitterly disappointed readers who, like me, were unable to take advantage of the e.l.f sale I posted about the other day – I didn’t realise they only deliver to Canada and the USA. Secondly, thank you all so much for clicking through to see a photo of me in a bra – site views were through the roof the last couple of days! How exciting.
And now, you’ve had your fun(bags)… Back to the serious business of MAKEUP!
So what I attempted to do here was some kind of St Patrick’s Day manicure, using the two Illamasqua nailpolishes I got as part of a mystery pack I bought a few weeks ago. The dark one (Rampage) is a nice dark ninja-turtle green that looks black until you go outside. It’s good. I like nailpolish that looks black but isn’t.
My idea was to do a reverse French manicure that looked like a glass of Guinness, and then I was like, BACK IT UP – I’VE GOT DARK AND LIGHT GREEN NAILPOLISH, so why not make it look like a Guinness with nasty-ass green food dye in it, just like how they serve it on St Patrick’s Day in the pub!!! And a mediocre idea was born.
I almost didn’t put these pictures up because I made such a pig’s ear of it – look at that, er, black four-leaf clover.
Moving right along, I painted my right hand with Barry M Nail Paint in #284 Emerald Green. Barry M Nail Paints are yet another example of an excellent UK high-street cosmetic brand; their stuff is only a few quid and it’s just as good as what you’d pay ten times as much for. Experiment and get crazy with all the colours, yo. It won’t cost you.
Fly, my pretties, get your tacky green on – and remember, if you go back far enough… You. Are. Irish.
