It's Sunday!

Though I'm not going anywhere of importance today, I wanted to throw on a true colored look since I haven't worn one in super long. I did head out yesterday and took shots of a LOTD (which I've yet to resize etc but will later today), it was still a relatively neutral look in comparison since I was meeting relatives and didn't want to go crazy with it.

Long story short, I played around with a look today since I was bored at home.

I tried out the L'oreal HIP Duos which I received back in their little launch party last year. I've yet to try the colored duos so I decided to be a little 'flashy' today and used.... Flashy.

L'oreal HIP Duo in Flashy

I didn't do a full face of makeup (skipped out blush and lip color) since I wasn't going anywhere.

I guess there's no need for me to rave about the pigmentation of these shadows, it's pretty much a known fact that they swatch well and do blend well. I sort of liked how in this combination it seems like there's nothing on my inner corners, though I did use the lighter skin-tone shade on there. Pretty interesting.

Shall only list down the products I used for my eyes since that's the only thing worth showcasing. Hence EOTD in the title instead of LOTD :)

Products Used:

EYES
Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer
L'oreal HIP Duo in Flashy
88 Color Palette (darker blue/black for contouring)
MAC Powerpoint Liner in Engraved
Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Neo Mascara

It sure was fun wearing a bit of color even though I wasn't really going anywhere. Will post up my more neutral look from yesterday once I resize them all.

For now I shall wash this off and head out for dinner, I heard my dad say something about spicy steamboat, just had something like that last friday, haha, oh well.

Hope you are all enjoying the last few hours of the weekend and have a good dinner to get you set for the week ahead!

As the title initiates, this is sharing a little personal perference of mine.

I find that metalic finish polishes (mainly the ones that leave little streaks) look best on nails that are slightly longer. Not saying you can't wear them on short nails but longer nails tend to 'amplify' that shimmery streak effect.

Hence I painted this on my nails a couple days ago:

Glossy Blossom Nail Lacquer in Glossy Navy Blue

I love how the streaks in this particular polish seem to play up the dimension. Unlike some cases where the streaks just get annoying and you want to keep re-painting it away.

Though after wearing that for a couple of days I wanted to switch to something darker like Orly's Wild Wysteria.

Orly Nail Polish in Wild Wysteria

I painted this in a hurry one weekday-night so pardon the messiness.

I was pleasantly surprised with the opacity of this polish as my first encounter with Orly (Charged Up) required about 3 coats to reach the opacity I wanted but with Wild Wysteria, 2 coats is more then enough.

Also with longer nails I find wearing one cream or solid colored polish alone can be a little boring so I tried to play it up with applying Mosaic's glittery polish in T44 on my ring finger.

However, after all that I think I'm changing my nail color this weekend as long nails are pretty but makes me type real slow on my phone and that's pretty frustrating.

I believe I should look into wearing pastel bright colors again once I clip my nails down, haven't worn those in ages!

Thanks for reading (:
