Lime Crime Makeup Aquataenia Swatches

I finally got my hands on Lime Crime Makeup's Palette in Aquataenia. I had been wanting to try out their palettes since China doll came out but just never got around to it. I decided to purchase this particular one because I fell in love with the bright colors.

The packaging/case of the tin palette is really cute. The image is embossed on the case.

 All of the colors in this palette are pearlescent which can give off more of a glittery effect.
The color swatches very easily as well with great color payoff.








The colors are above (left to right):
Nautilus Prime-blurple
Coral of the story- true coral
Seahorse Discourse- tropical green
Pearl-pl- pearlescent lilac
Atlanteal-Seafoam blue/green

Here are a few swatches using no eyeshadow base or flash.
The colors are gorgeous and I can't wait to try them.

Purple & White Cracked Nail Design

I jumped on the cracked/crackle nail polish band wagon back in 2011 and I'll admit, I may have done the sought after design 3-4 times on my own nails. I picked up a lot of my crackle polishes from my local Sally beauty Supply store. I took a moment to dig through my nail polishes and was like "I never tried the white crackle" hence came the idea to try and design my nails today.

I used a glittery purple nail polish from Sinful colors as a base color and did not let it dry completely before I applied the China Glaze Crackle polish. Sinful Colors nail polishes to me act as great bases because they are vibrant and reasonable in price which is usually $.99 at Walgreens when they go on sale.

I love the results because I looks as if I used a lavender Crackle on top which I didn't. It's been a long time since I did this nail design and I hope you get inspired to go back to trends you love from time to time regardless of the season :)
