Vintage nail art tutorial

Hi everyone so a couple of days ago i got some dotting tools from amazon and so i had decided to do a bit of nail art.  Granted it isn't the best but for my first ever go , i think it is quite swish.

For my background colour i used rimmel peppermint
For the base of my floers i used revlon classy
For the detail of the flowers i used rimmel cranberry zest
For the leaves i used a nail polish which i made myself using graffiti eyeshadow from urban decay. ( if you want a tutorial let me know in the comments below.)

I even made a little visual aid for this tutorial ( i have a new found respect for graphic designers everywhere)

1. Paint your nails a mint green base colour

2. Paint some pink blobs (they don't need to be perfect) using a dotting tool

3. Paint the outline red with a swirl leading into the pink

3. Paint green lines on either side of the flower for leaves

Hope you enjoyed this little tutorial

Review | Soap and glory kick ass concealer

Does your concealer kick ass?  Mine says so but to see if it does keep reading.....

I have the kit in medium, the shades are really similar , just one is more salmon-y than the other to conceal eye circles. It also has a translucent powder.  I know a lot of people don't like the packaging as it is quite fiddly but i haven't had a problem with it and i have had it for 4 months now, so if you have trouble separating compartments as it can sometimes get stuck, I've heard, you may not like this.

I am sorry for the lighting but daylight is no more where i am and this is
 the best picture to see the different tones :(

The powder is scarily white for someone who has a medium complexion like myself but rest assured that it actually is translucent. I do not care much for the sponge, i instead use a powder brush to set the concealer.

I liken the formula to erase paste as it does have the same creamy consistency but i will admit the S&G concealer sometimes feels greasy as it is very moisturizing. The coverage is good for the salmon-y one (i presume this is for eyes) although i have zombie-eye-circles so i use an extra concealer on top.

The face one is a little too dull for my liking ( i tend too use brightening concealers) so i hardly use it although coverage is good also.




Have you tried this concealer?  What did you think?
