HALLOWEEN MANIA!

O.M.G. I AM SO EXCITED!

HALLOWEEN IS FINALLY COMING! And I dunno about you but besides the fact that Halloween is my all-time favorite holiday (I've said this before haven't I?) but I am just getting so excited to actually go out and have some fun !

Before I go into any of my Youtube ideas that I am waiting to try out, I just thought i'd mention some news that I believe is amazing to me.
I already own one shop on Etsy Found Here, but I am opening another one to sell my artwork. Now i've never sold any of my work before so this is new to me but so exciting that I am actually jumping a little inside. I'm scared of how it will be but, It's a new venture for me to become more artistic.
Another thing is that I plan to write a book. One of my lifetime goals has been to write a book since I was about 12 and I told myself. Before I turn 25, I need to write a book. Not just for the public but to tell a story! It would be exciting and just like everything else, scary.

Anyway lets move on you Youtube!

So on my Youtube I just recently posted a 'Sultry Vampire' tutorial on what I think is the ultimate sexy vampire out there. Girly, Feminen and Powerful! I've loved Vampires ever since I was little and finally got a tutorial out to show people my own way.

Now I have no valuable makeup brushes, and in all honesty, I highly doubt I ever will so, with that in mind I will be doing tutorials with basic brushes, fingers, and Q-tips. I'm not entirely poor but, I definately don't have enough money to buy brushes haha!Wish I did!

Another tutorial that I am uploading right now is Harley-Quinn! That's right! The crazy, love-obsesed , Joker praiser, Girly girl Harley-Quinn has been done for others to view and enjoy. Now since I uploaded both Harley-Quinn and The Sultry Vampire on the same day I will post tons of photos below for you to look at! Feel free to browse through!

Another thing I have excited that is planned for everyone is for Nails.
I am planning on doing a tutorial on how to file down artificial tips to blend them into the natural nail not only safely but naturally. I will also be doing a tutorial for Gel nail Enthusiasts.It can be done on Natural Nails but I thought i'd give back to some of the nail students out there looking for simple ideas to do.

Other then that on my personal life, Work is very slow. If you are going to go into the Nail Industry or Even the Spa industry for that matter, Your high times will be the Summer when it's gorgeous outside and your low times will be basically the rest of the year. It is incredibly slow at work. I'm taking working a 4 hour shift and doing 1-2 people the entire time.I work in a fast paced environment where we do Manicures in 30 minutes and Pedicures in 45 minutes. Although this is NOT the time normally you should be shooting far (A manicure should take 45 minutes and a pedicure should take 45-1 hour) this is a recession and because there is NO REGULATION up in Canada for Nail Technichians, A lot of UNSANITARY and CHEAP environments are popping up everywhere. People won't usually pay more then $25 for a Manicure these days which is sad because it is a health thing. Someone is cutting your cuticle and has the chance of cutting you. Would you want them to use a unsanitary cuticle cutter on you?
Anyway, what I am getting at is you have to fast and efficient in this industry and sometimes that means bending the rules a little bit. As sad as this is, this is the world we live in. Hopefully it will get better for everyone!

ON NOW ON T THE PICTURES!

Did I finally keep my promise?

A while back when I first began my Youtube Channel, I swore to myself to do some Makeup tutorials. Now, I can definatily say that even though i'm not professional, it still is something fun that I like to do and since it's Halloween, I can do some designs based on some Nail tutorials! They can go hand and hand and that in it's self I thought was rather fun!

The look i'm about to show you (Which keep in mind still needs a few touch ups) Is done completely with cheap, drugstore makeup with 3 brushes. A Contour brush, and two basic brushes you get from the store.
I have nothing fancy and that does create a limit on what I can do (for now) but ,I've always wanted to create something that others can use and dont have to go around searching for brushes and buying things just to create a look.
The majority of what I have used over the years has been basic brushes.I've never had the money to go out and actually buy brushes of my own or even stock up on some even like Elf brushes (I'm that cheap haha!)

So Voila! Even though my camera is not that great, I thought I would try to help fill you in!
There is a gold reflect color that you cant see well on the pictures but hopefully it will show up in the video.
I will be going to the store tomorrow to pick up some eyelashes <3
See you soon!

Halloween is coming!!!!

Oh hello there!

This week has been so stressful and it's surprising that I keep neglecting my blogspot (actually not really, this seems fairly normal?)

I've been in mad rush mode for Halloween trying to get new items updated in my store, Like this Gothic Lolita Parasol that I am just extatic about! Things just take time and it's been such an uphill battle. This whole week has been like that but I can only hope it will get better!

On a happier note, I finally had time to give myself a manicure at work. Sadly that as because we were so slow but at the same time, it was fun to finally give myself som TLC.

On the subject of TLC my poor kitten Praxis hurt herself! This happened about a week ago when she fell off the table. Well, we assume she fell off the table because we left and came back and she was really injured. We took her to the Vet and found out that piece of cartilage inbetween her leg and hip has completely disappeared! We have no idea where it is but we were told to wait a week and now she is walking again! It is seriously a miracle! Now her and her sister Pandora can play once again!

On the subject of Halloween (Althought I talked about it earlier, ahaha) I am pleased to announce a new tutorial that is going to  be on Youtube! I am absolutely happy for my first Halloween Tutorial! There is so much that is going to be on Youtube for  Halloween because this is my season.
Makeup Tutorials, Nail Tutorials and even some Hair Tutorials!
It's going to be exciting!

Here is some images from the new tutorial!

New Zelda Tutorial

Sorry for the delay on everything! I hope to make a couple new videos in the next coming weeks so stay tooned!

On the note of my Zelda Tutorial!!

The reference picture I used in the tutorial is a Cross-Stitch a good friend of mine did just for fun! I thought it was the cutest thing (And who doesnt like Zelda!?) So I wanted to thank her by making a Nail Tutorial for her.

This was a challenge but well worth it!

I hope you enjoy!!

Product Rave

Alright!

Now even though I very rarely ever try new skin products out, I actually ended up doing so. I am a sucker for skin masks or any sort of mask I can find.
I love the sensation of cleaning off a mask and wiping away all the dirt from the skin!
My mother bought from this company called Arbonne. Now they kind of remind me of Avon but, they seem to be less intrusive. Anyway. My mother went to one of their 'Spa Parties' and ordered this product.



This product is AWESOMMEEEEEEEE!!

It goes on to the skin dry, and you rub it in. It even tells you the motions you should be doing to massage it in! After removing the 'dead skin cells' you apply a little bit of water to 'activate' the active materials in the mask to help it clean your pores.
Leave it on for 5 minutes and Voila!
Wipe it off and you feel as clean as a whistle (is a whistle really that clean?)

It not only dries out existing acne , but it helps prevent and treat any new ones.

Love this product! Never had a mask  that worked as well. Not even Dermologica worked as well!

Bring in Fall

I am more then ready for Autumn to come. I have waited so long for  Summer to start and rather then keep being disappointed as the end comes, I decided to just start for Autumn already.

Oh and there is pictures of my hair below. I said its red. And it is, Lol

Other Info:
