Hey Strangekittens. Today’s links are all about the major eyeliner trend and how you can use it!

5 Tricks to apply eyeliner right every time It took me ages to get liquid liner right! Seriously, I only mastered it at age 24…/facepalm

Bright eyeliner tutorial. I’ve been itching to break out some purple eyeliner, what about you?

Stencil your liner. If you’re just starting out and still a bit wobbly, this could help.

Hey Strangekittens. Neons and matte nails are in right now, so here’s a trendsetting tutorial for you, in neon orange and yellow. It’s bright, but the matte coat takes it down a notch into trendy instead of tacky.

You will need:

neon bellini 1

-An orange

-A yellow

- A matte coat. The easiest to find would be Sephora by OPI.

-Some Q-tips/cotton buds

Step one:

2-3 coats of yellow.

neon bellini 2

Step two (and three, actually):

Use the q-tip to dab small amounts of the orange onto the nail. Make it messy, but don’t cover the yellow! You want it showing through. Let that dry, and finish with a matte coat.

Mine turned out like this:

Neon bellini 3

It’s an easy effect, and you could do this with any two colours. :)

Have a good weekend! Don’t forget, for US and Canada, it’s Mother’s Day on Sunday. If you have a mom worth celebrating, that is.

Well, theweejenny showed me these things called binder reinforcement stickers. They’re office supplies, … Continue reading →
