Nail of the Day - China Glaze Ingrid

I went to Ulta today and found this beauty on sale for $4.99. I figured it had to be worth the money, it looked so pretty in the bottle! I was really impressed with it when I applied it! It was just as gorgeous in the bottle as on the fingers! I used OPI's Nail Envy as a base coat, applied two coats of China Glaze's Ingrid and then topped it off with Seche Vite Top Coat. I thought it was a lovely color. It's a cool brown with the tiniest flecks of gold shimmer.

 

Should we match our nail polish to our lipsticks?

Ok, no video tutorial today because I have TWO finals today. Booo. However, I did make this quick face of the day with you and offer this question...

I decided to match my lipstick shade to my nail polish. Is this totally bizarre or is this an amazing idea?

Sorry my hair is so in my face in this photo! Ahhh! Looks like I am being attacked!

Tips of the Trade: Make small eyes/lips look bigger, and more!!!!

I get a lot of questions asking me how to make small eyes look bigger and small lips look bigger. So, I decided to make a video addressing the following four questions:

1. How do I make my small eyes look bigger?
2. How do I make my round eyes look more exotic and almond shaped?
3. How do I make my giant forehead appear smaller? (It's not giant, but for whatever reason people like the word "giant" and "forehead together"?)
4. How do I make my lips look bigger and fuller?

This video will address all those questions and make me look a little bit silly in the process. I will put up titles for each section of the video to indicate to you which area we will cover next. Enjoy! If you have more questions, please comment to this video!!!
