Ombre, part II: Lips & Nails!

Posted on 21 aprile 2013

Follow me @Polyvore

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about the ombre trend but it was mostly dedicated to dresses and a little bit on eyeshadows :)
Considering the big success of this trend I want to focus my attention on lips and nails!
I think that ombre lips are amazing! They enlight your smile and they make it even more original!
Limecrime is my favourite make up brand at the moment!! (http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/)
I love the nuances of its lipsticks! From frozen mint to light peach!

The same for the nails, lovely and unconventional colors!
The ads of the brand and the packaging of the products are magical, everything look as if it was a fairytale!

I was talking about Limecrime because its lipstick are perfect to create the ombre lips effect!

Here is a 3-colors ombre:

SHORT TUTORIAL:

Use "D'Lilac" lipstick on the centre on the lips and than apply "Cosmopop" on the left corner and "No she didn't" on the right corner; then smudge the point in which the colors meet to make your mouth appear unique!

Than the nails, here are the nail laquers!

(From top left to right: Once in a Blue Mousse, Pastelchio, Lavendairy, Crema de Limon, Peaches♥Cream, parfait Day, Milky Ways )

And these are the ombre nails!

(Perfectly matching with the lips ;)!!!)

SHORT TUTORIAL:

As shown in the set above you just need a little sponge (the foundation one is perfect!).

Draw 2 lines of "Parfait Day" nail laquer

on the sponge and then 2 other lines of "Lavendairy" just below!

Apply with a delicate touch on your nail(don't press too much!) and...Done!

It's not difficult and the effect is amazing!!!

Try and post me a pic of your work!:)

A Pastel April

Posted on 5 aprile 2013

Aprile significa fiorture, sole e risveglio!
Il sole ci fa sentire bene e cosa c'è di meglio di iniziare la giornata con una golosa colazione?
Ispirato a Parigi e alle tonalità dei suoi tipici macarones azzurri, questo set è dedicato al colore pastello più delicato, l'azzurro!
Il vestito di H&M è un capo molto abbordabile e che consiglio almeno di provare!
La sua texture si adatta perfettamente alla parte superiore del corpo mentre, sotto la vita, la sfasatura lo rende in grado di valorizzare ogni tipo di figura!
I sandali di Charlotte Olympia sono semplicemente perfetti! Sono i sandali estivi da sogno ed hanno un ricamo bianco con la scritta "Paris" sul listino sopra le dita.
Con un tacco ta 15cm ed un platform da 3cm, questi tacchi sono una vera e propria ode all'universo parigino!
Infine, per completare il look pastello, scegliete una tonalità simile alle scarpe per le vostre unghie, come ad esempio quella più a destra nel set di Butter!

April means bloom, sun and awakening!
The sun makes us feel fine and is there anything better than to start the day with a sweet breakfast? :)
Inspired by Paris and by the shade of the blue macarones this set is dedicated to the most delicate pastel color, light blue!
The H&M dress is a very effordable item and I suggest you at least to try it!
Its jersey texture perfectly fits the upper part of your body and it's a bit flare at the end so that it can emphasize every body shape!
Charlotte Olympia's sandals are simply perfect. They're the fabulous summer sandal with white, Paris embroidery on each toe. With a heel of 6 inches and a platform of 1.5 inch, these shoes are a ode to all things Parisian!
To complete the pastel-look choose a turquoise nail laquer in a shade close to the one of the shoes, like the one on the right of the set by Butter!
