Pale foundation and concealer swatches!

Below are some pictures and swatches of pale foundations and concealers! Keep in mind - I am about NC5-NC10 (paler than any of MAC's foundations) but I can make every single one of these foundations match my skin (aside from the Illamasqua). Concealers are a bit harder, although all of these match decently aside from the Makeup Forever.

Back!

I am not dead! I'm planning on reviving this blog soon, with posts about nail polish, makeup, hair, fashion, and health, among other things! I have started a YouTube channel that you can find here: http://www.youtube.com/thefairyreel See you soon :-)

Boring Post

Well, it has been forever since I have written. My computer is dead and I have no access to Photoshop or my pictures. :( However, it should be fixed soon. I hope.

NOTD is China Glaze Cracked Concrete over Zoya Kelly. Kelly is GORGEOUS and I never thought I would love a color like that so much. It looks great with my skintone.

Shower Together and belated V-Day Manicure

An old NOTD: China Glaze Shower Together. I really love this color.


And the manicure I wore for Valentine's Day! It's OPI The One That Got Away layered under Nicole by OPI Love Your Life, with OPI Teenage Dream on thumbs.

Long time no post

Some recent stuff...

Revlon Scented Not So Blueberry. Pretty color and I happened to love the scent...it smelled even after a coat of SV!

OPI Jade Is The New Black

China Glaze Dorothy Who?

My poor thumb that I was already trying to grow out - it broke again :(

Sooo I put a fake on it! Natural nail on left, fake nail on right.
(Sorry that I was too lazy to get this picture in focus...)

China Glaze Atlantis and hauls

I think I'm in love with China Glaze Atlantis. Here is two thick coats of it over one coat of OPI Black Onyx:

OMG SPARKLES

I can't stop looking at it. I want to redo my manicure but I don't want to take this polish off!

Finally, here are some quick pictures of my hauls from the past couple of days:

DRUGSTORE HAUL
Revlon Royal, Jesse's Girl Confetti, Jesse's Girl Beach Baby, Wet N Wild Party of Five Glitters
(I looked for Party of Five Glitters EVERYWHERE and finally found it at Rite Aid!)

ULTA HAUL
Orly Lunar Eclipse, China Glaze Ruby Pumps, ChG Ahoy!, ChG Whitecap, Essie Silken Cord

OPI Katy Perry Collection

My boyfriend is awesome and bought me the entire Katy Perry collection!

The One That Got Away, Last Friday Night, Black Shatter, Teenage Dream, Not Like The Movies

Swatched (I messed up the Black Shatter on Last Friday Night, oops!) 2 coats of 1 & 2, 3 coats of 3 & 4.


Blurry flash picture of 3 coats of Teenage Dream.


Black Shatter over Teenage Dream in indirect sunlight


My sister's nails - 3 coats of Last Friday Night with Black Shatter on alternating nails

I know these are everywhere but they really are awesome! Expect to see more OPI Katy Perry manicures in the future.
