Nail art fun!

Here's a quick photo post on what I have on my nails at the moment. I got bored with having plan nails so decided to spice it up. You can use any colour combination to get this look, I like the colours that I have used together. To see a tutorial check out MissJenFABULOUS's YouTube account on how to get the look.

 I really like this look, it's nice to have something different on my nails. Things to watch out for when doing this look is that it does take a bit longer to dry as theres more layers and also maybe a bit hard to get neat when using your opposite writing hand. Good luck if you give it a try.

Thanks for reading,

Rebel!

Being an avid collector of MAC lipsticks I had to get on the blogger hype and see what the Rebel lipstick was all about. To be honest the colour terrified me and still takes me needing a bit of confidence to wear out. The shade is a deep berry purple that suites the winter months perfectly. The lipstick has a satin finish and stays on for a few hours although it does need to be reapplied after eating and drinking unless you like dark berry rings around your lips!

Ahhhhh beautiful packaging, I wonder what could be inside!

Swatch on my arm

I found that the colour appears darker in the tube than it does when applied. On my skin it compliments the tones and appears less scary than before. It's also more of a berry/ dark pink colour but has the option to be built up with reapplying. 

REBEL on my lips

Overall I love this lipstick for a night out, it has the ability to instantly make you feel sexy! Its a bit of a nightmare to remove as all dark lipsticks are so I recommend a lip liner before application. 

Go grab it from your local MAC counter and give it a try :)
