DIY: Easy Marbling Nails!

Hey everyone!

I havent blogged in forever (I'm so sorry!), my camera died and I havent been able to find any new batteries, but I think my dad finally found some! These pics are shot with an iPhone so the quality is not the best, but I hope you get the idea of how to do these cool nails!

So, a couple weeks ago I found this really  cool way to change up your nail polish super easy!

Today I finally tryed it out and thought I should to a tutorial on it. You can totally do this with all your nails if you want, I just didnt have the time so I only did my ringfinger as an accent nail.

The things you will need:

Minimun 2 differnt nailpolishes

A plastic container with water in it

A needle - or something else shap

  

Cotton pads - to remove the remove rest of the nailpolish

Tape - To avoid getting nailpolish all over your finger

STEP 1

 

Find all the things you'll need. It will make the result way prettier and so much more easy not to mess it up, trust me, I did that the first time I tryed.. Well lets say it did'nt look so good.

STEP 2

 

Choose one of your nail polishes and let it drop in the water.

The polish is going to spread a part - I found that it will only work with thin nail polish. If you use a thicker polish it will not spread - it will just stay.

Keep dropping nail polish in the water on top of the drops your already have, and continue doing that until you have a good amount of nail polish.

And at a point it should look like this.

STEP 3

Find your needle and start dragging
the colours together to create
the marbling effect.

Soon you will see the pattern form.

STEP 4 

 

Dip your finger in the polish and hold it in for about 10 sec. 

Then, with your other hand, 

take a the cotton pad and 

remove the polish around your finger. 

If you skip this step it will ruin the pattern. 

STEP 5

 

Carefully, lift your finger from

the water and see the result!

Wait 5 min. for it to dry, 

and remove the tape!

If there is nail polish on your finger go ahead and remove it wth some nail polish remover.  

I really hope you enjoyed this little tutorial, trust me - I have a lot more on the way!

XOXO,

Camille

Wise Words from.....

Audrey Hepburn!

I just read this, and she is so right! Read it, and let me know that you think! 

“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives and the passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.”

HEARTBEAT

HEARTBEAT by camillehearts on Polyvore.com

this is a project me and a friend are doing right now, about emergency aid. It is really interesting.

My New York and Spring must haves!

Hello everyone!


So.. I'm going to New York.. Big Apple... NY... Whatever you want to call it, on spring break for a week and a half. I'm soo excited too go. I have never been to NY or USA, for that matter before so of course I thought of that to buy then I get over there.. And I made a little list all ready. Ha ha!

Can you feel the excitement yet?


Well here some of the hings I think, I will be getting then I get over there.


I've falling in love with Bobbi Browns makeup books and got me hooked on a few of the produkts.


The first one is the is the famous "Creamy Corrector". I've allways had a problem with undereyes circels, the skin under my eyes is super thin and my skin is very light as an overall so it dosent make it any better. So this is definitly something I HAVE to get! 


Corrector is great for undereyes circels, because it have eihter a pink or peach tone to it, so it will neutralize the blue or purple underneath your eyes. Apply this with either your clean fingers or a concealer brush but blend after with your finger for a smooth and natural look.

Actually then I think about it, all these things are bacis. Well the Bobbi Brown things are definitly, but I have allways thought that the bacis are the items I want to spend a little more on, because it is things that I will use everyday so that is why all the Bobbi Brown stuff, and I'm going to get colour matched so I get the right colours, since the produkts is so pricey.












This next item is the "Creamy Concealer Kit". It contains a creamy concealer and a loose yellow-toned setting powder. The concealers job is to conceal any redness or dispigmentation. This is also applyed with eihter a concealer brush or your clean fingers around the nose, mouth and under eyes if needed after corrector. Set it with a loose yellow-toned powder for erasing redness. 

The third thing is one of my favorite things! You have maybe read my Winter faves, if not, go read it! hee hee. Well I mentioned a cream blush from MAC in Lady Blush. I looove it, and want to try a new one, since they are discontinueing the one from MAC.

It is the "Pot Pouge For Lips And Cheeks". This is a creame blush and coloured lipbalm or lipstick in one! SO nice! This is great for spring ans summer. It gives the skin a natural dewy finish and will make you look fresh and awake. This is applyed with eihter your fingers og a foundation brush. I recommend applying with fingers so it will blend better. Apply on the apple of the cheeks for a fresh look.

  

I adore black eyeliner on the upper lashline. So This is the "Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner".

I think it looks defined but not to hars. You can build it up to eihter a super thin line or a thik line for more drama.

This is only applyed with a eyeliner bursh or a angeld brush, whatever you prefer or have laying around.



This last thing has there been soo much raving about summer 2010 on youtube.....

Do I need to say moore? It speaks for it self...

Look at thoose colours.. WOW is everything I can say! And with the amazing quality of Urban Decay it can only be good! Cant wait to get!!!! AND! You get a mini primer potion and the double ended glide on pencil in Zero and Bourbon! Yaay! 

I've just listend to this amazing song over and over while posting this.

I cant wait to teel you guys about the trip! I'm SO excited!!!

see you soon,

xoxo Camille.

Winter faves of the moment!

Hi, everyone!

So, winter... It's almost here, or here it is...

The weather is getting so cold, and I'm going shopping for a new jacket and boots very soon.
Actually while I'm writing this I'm drinking green tea with mint and honey (yummy).


Well, this was not what I wanted to write about. It was my favorite beauty products of the moment. You see, I can't promise to update this every single month, because I tend to stick with a produckt, when I find something I like, of couse it dosent mean that I never will update my faves, it will just not be as often as other bloggers or gurus on youtube maybe.  

Well here are the favorites:

First one is...

My MAC Creme Blush(or actually blush creme, but never mind :D)  in Lady Blush. (love that name!)

It has been raning very often, and rain + makeup (most powder) = not great! (it will mostly run)

So one day I wore the creme blush, and when I got home and it looked like I'd just had put it on!

And that was a good thing, as I had been looking for a souloution for the rainy-makeup problem, and it was my creme blush who could save my cheeks. It dosent only stay on for a long time, it also gives a dewy finish on the cheeks, and I personally looooove that look, also in the winter. (its also great if you have dry skin like I do, because the dry skin dosent show up with the creme on top! Cool, right?) 

I got this at a Mac counter, in a city close to me, and it was about US$18.50 but I paid a little more, because I live in Denmark.

Second one is...

Im a huge fan of neutral colours, and this will always be a favorite of mine.

Too Faced Natural Eyeshadow Palette

This little box has 9 eyeshadows in natural colours. 3 matte and 6 with shimmer or glitter in them.

The thing I really love about this, is that you get 3 card with eyeshadow looks on them, so if you are a beginner, you know how ang where to place the diffrent colours, so it really looks good. Of course you dont have to follow the cards, i uscally dont, I like mixing the different colours, so I create my own look.

It also comes with a sponge tip apllicator and a small angled brush in the other end. I just use it for my brows, and mix the two matte, brown eyeshadows, from the first look called "day". I got this in Boots in London, Christmas 2009, for about 23£.

Thrid one is...

The eyeshadow primer, of all eyeshadow primers... do you know which one I'm talking about?

 Urban Decay Primer Potion! (also known as UDPP)

This little purple bottle of heaven will make your eyeshadow stay on all day and night, and make the colours more vibrant as well. (well, it does that for me ;) ) And it's a sheer skintone, so you can't see it under matte colours.

I got this in a present from my famliy a while back, and it's about £ 12.

Fourth one is...

The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist just works wonders for me. It's says on the back that it's "with panthenol to soften and rosewater to refresh."

My skin get super dry in the fall and winter time, so this is great on-the-go, if you need a little extra mouistre, and do what to put lotion on. What I do is, close your eyes and mist it on your face, and it will look a little wet for a second, but it will dry in to your skin quickly. It is also great as a makeup setting spray.

I got this a while back, and cant remeber who much it was. Sorry (:

Fifth and last one is...

This is a all-time favorite for me!

Benefit High Beam - or as at lot af pepole call it: Supermodel in a bottle(and I understand why)

It is a liquid highlighter, that has a light pink tone. It's sooooooo beautiful! It will brigth up your face, ang give you the prettiest glow. I put it on the top af my cheekbones, on the brigde of my nose, and underneath my eyebrows. It looks like nailpolish, also because of the wand (it is the same as if it was a nailpolish) but that dosent matter!

I also got this as a present, not so long ago. It's about £17.50.

Well these are my most favorite makeup products of the moment, thank you for reading!

xoxo
