Nail Design

I decided to do my nails today, and orange was my color of choice.  I probably have 10 different shades of orange, and decided to use the three you see below: a deeper, pumpkin orange, a bronzier shade and a melon-like shade of orange.  The polishes all have a metallic finish.  I figured the look would have a better appearance if I used nail polishes with the same finish and texture.  If you would like to know what polishes I used, leave me a comment and i'll respond with the brands and shades.

For whatever reason, I really love seeing faces painted with different colors, especially white.

Thomas De Kluyver

Thomas is make-up artist, and his work is very inspiring.  Not only is his make-up creative, it's bold and always flawless.  I also love his blonde, bowl cut.

Runway VS Reality | Toni Garrn


The photos you see above come from two different runway shows that Toni Garrn appeared in, and doesn't she look beautiful? The first look is more glamorous, with a bolder eye color and lip.  The second look is more natural and soft, using fleshier, pink tones.

Below, you see an agency photo of Toni, no make-up.  She still looks beautiful, but if you didn't know that she was a model, you may mistake her for any other "pretty" girl.


Moral of the story: Natural beauty is ALWAYS a plus, but NEVER discredit the wonders of make-up!
