Beauties in Bloom

Here's a messy smokey eye I did using some earthy, matte colors. I wish the teal around the eye photographed better--it's much more vibrant in person! Maybe it's time to upgrade my camera?  Love how simple it was to do as well--only two colors and a highlight!

I don't find this too dramatic but I definitely like smokey eyes ALL the time lol!!

OPI Cuckoo For This Color came out with OPI's Swiss collection in 2010. I've been completely obsessed with this color lately as I think it's perfect for winter weather and am happy to know that this color is actually a permanent part of the OPI's line. It's an elegant, shimmering emerald green with teal/blue tones to it. Seriously, how gorgeous is that? I love how dark and rich it is...but not so dark that it looks more black than green. I really think this color would be flattering on anyone! Application is wonderful--two coats and it was completely opaque and smooth. I've never gone through a bottle of nail polish before, but if I ever went through this one I would definitely repurchase!! What nail polish are you wearing at the moment?! Do you like wearing greens and teals? Also, Happy Halloween!!!!

Decided to play with some brighter colors today! I wish it photographed as vibrant as it was in person! The lid was a much deeper turquoise.
