Retro nails in Dita von Teese style? Huh, that`s easy!

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you a tip on how to make an easy retro nails! The general idea of such style is to leave "the half moon" on the nail unpolished. Some choose to paint the lunula (the half moon) white, and we can see it on Dita von Teese:

But frankly speaking, I`m a huge fan of leaving "the half moon" area unpolished, as for me, it looks better. And It is the style that I`m going to show you now.
I will show you a very easy way on how to do that, because It can be quite hard to "paint" this style. This trick will make the process faster and without any mess. 

All you will need: nail polisher (I used Colorama by Maybelline, colour 150) and a TAPE. That is the key ingredient to our look. 

Step 1
Cut a piece of tape into a rounded shape:

Stich it to your finger. Place as much of the rounded part as you want on the half moon area of the nail. Of cource it mainly depends on the natural size of the lunula. If its big enough, you can use it as a reference point. If its not big, make the size you want))

Repeat this step on every nail. 
Then apply a nail polisher. You can do a base, of cource, and then do the actual colour. 
Make sure that the tape is placed well on every nail and not sticking up anywhere.
It doesn`t matter if you do a mess, everything will remain on the tape. 
If you need, cover the nails one more time.

When the polish is almost dry, you can start pulling the tape off. Be attentive here: pull the tape straight down towards your hand- not over your nail. Pulling it over might tear more of the nailpolish off, and it is not what we want.

If some areas look messy, dont be upset, just take your rounded craft brush, take a nailpolish remover and try to fix everything!You can use it to remove the polisher on the sides of your nail as well.
And here is the result! Nice and neat! And also quite fast. 

Hope you liked it!
Good luck!

Wrong shape of the nose? Pin-up girls know the secret how to change it!

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you some secrets about the nose make-up! Why is it important? Just remember a classic pin up girl! She has a really small nose, and it looks beautiful!
And today I show you some tips on how to make your nose look smaller. Let`s begin!

1) Flat nose

It is widely spread among asian people. It is not a drawback, it is just a feature that defines this population. But there is a problem with such type of the nose: It is not well-defined. That is why we should give it a proper definition. There are several ways how to do that, but the main principle is to take the brush, take some dark-brown eyeshadows, and to apply 2 straight lines down your nose. I mean here:


They should go just from the eyebrow. You can apply it really harsh at the beginning, but then you should smoothe the line. You can also highlight the center line of your nose. It should give you an additional definition. And here you can find a video on this technique:



2)Triangular nose



As you can see, the tip of the nose and the nostrils form a triangle. That is why we should apply some dark shadows on the tip of the nose and blend it out. Then you should take some lighter shadow and you should apply it on the inside corner (where the bridge of the nose) of the eye and blend it out. So, you create more space on the top of the nose and reduce the lover part of the nose.



3) Crooked nose



As you can see, the nose is not straight. And here is one golden rule: On the side that is not straight you should apply some dark eyeshadows (try to draw a straight line, you don-t want to highlight that one side of the nose is curved) and some light on the other. Here is what I meam:



4) Bulbous nose


Here we can see that the tip of the nose is very massive. And we should just take our dark eyeshadows and apply it on the tip of the nose. And sometimes you need to apply dark eyeshadows just above the eyebrow. It will give a bigger dimention. And then apply a highlighter on the center line of the nose.



5) Strong bridge nose
It is better seen in the profile:



Here the only advice just to highlight the area between your eyebrows to open up space a bit. It will help you a lot.

And that is all for today! Thank you very much! If you know more tips, please, write in the comments below!
Good luck!
