More Christmas nails and makeup

Here's what I ended up wearing on my nails on Christmas day:

These are the Incoco Nail Appliques in Tis The Season that I posted about here. These turned out so well, I may not take them off until they start wearing at the tips so bad that they look nasty. I am really thrilled with these. They applied easier than any strips I've ever used, including other Incoco strips. I didn't tear any of the tips like I usually do and they didn't hang over the sidewall/cuticle area as much as I expected. I didn't even put topcoat on them to smooth them because they're already glassy smooth. Perfection.


Speaking of nail appliques, look what happened when I started removing my Sally Hansen Salon Effects from the other day:
Peppermint skeletons! How cool is that? I was trying to think of some way to incorporate this into a nail design, but I couldn't think of anything so I just removed it all the way. These wore pretty well until I removed them; no chipping or peeling and only minor tipwear. They still looked wrinkled and bubbled after three days, though. Can't figure out what I did wrong.


These were my Christmas Eve eyes. I did a really crappy job, especially on the liner, but I loved the way the red pigment mixed in with my mascara to create a copper color with red tips. It was an accident but it looked interesting enough that I want to try it again on purpose!
This was:
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
NYX White Eyeshadow Base (on lid only)
Kryolan UV Green pressed powder on lid
MAC Emerald Green pigment wet in crease, dry on lower lashline
Sugarpill Chromalust in Asylum wet as liner
Aromaleigh red loose glitter (can't remember the name) over Asylum
Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara


These were my eyes on Christmas day. My friend said it looked like a Victorian Christmas present. I was going more for frosted glass Christmas ornaments, but I think I like his description better.
This was:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance Lemon Drop
Sugarpill Chromalust in Asylum wet on lid
Ben Nye Amethyst in crease
MAC Emerald Green pigment on lower lash line
Stila Smudge Stick in Koi as liner
Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara

I love Asylum so much. I've been using it practically every day since it came in the mail and I can't get enough of it. It looks especially awesome to me when paired with purple. I love that Stila liner, too. It's the nicest, richest looking antique gold liner I have ad it applies so smoothly with crazy good pigmentation.

I had a great Christmas, but I'm very sad that there wasn't any snow. It just doesn't feel like Christmas until there's snow. I'm still really happy that I got to spend a lot of time with my family, and that our gingerbread house didn't collapse this year. Plus, I got a TARDIS cookie jar! Woot!

(The nail appliques were sent for review.)
