What inspires your beauty? Do you keep abreast the latest styles via magazines? Facebook? Fantastically amazing beauty blogs? (hint hint) I've been thinking about this a lot lately. About my beauty past, current trends and how media has affected all of it. Growing up it was always Seventeen Magazine and InStyle. Remember YM magazine? lol.
Actually magazines and television used to be the only way. But now our culture is beyond media-saturated with Facebook, twitter, tumbler and my personal favorite, Instagram! I never thought a simple photo sharing app would inspire me to try new products, hunt for color or take my nails to the fifth dimension of fun. But it has! Every night before bed, I scan my feed and various hashtags for new products, inspiration and general awesomeness. My latest obsession to date is nail art, which you can find in abundance on the highly celebrated app.
Lately I've been digging this candy coated with glittery-bits look...
So I picked up some new shades and decided to try the look myself! At CVS I purchased Loreal's I Will! #220----a creamy white polish and Confetti's Tazmanian Devil #004---a clear multi-colored glitter. And I couldn't resist a new pink from O.P.I's Minnie Mouse Collection, If You Moust, You Moust!
With the pink shade, I tried to keep the glitter towards the tips of my nails. Over the opaque white, I spread the glitter evenly over the entire nail to get that jaw breaker look. I was quite happy with the results.
Some of my favorite Instagram #hashtags to check for nail inspiration : #instanails, #nailsdone, #lynnderella, #manipedi, #nailstagram, #tapemani, #halfmoonmani.
