Anonymous asked: what nails and heels would go with a white dress for prom?


Answer:

oh gosh, ANYTHING really, it depends what look you’re going for. i personally like things bright haha so i would go for a bold colored pump like pink or orange for a fun pop, but seriously anything you want. for prom though you probably want to keep it clean and pretty, so i wouldnt do anything too crazy on nails :)

Anonymous asked: would you do makeup for free for prom for someone who goes to Menlo? (not hypothetical question)

Anonymous asked: Hey there! I have a quick question- I am wearing a very pretty sea-foam green lace dress to a banquet, and I just was wondering if you could give me a suggestion or two as to how to do my nails? Thanks! You've got a great talent and an amazing eye for detail, and I love looking on here!


Answer:

pretty much everything goes with sea foam green! i personally LOVE metallics like silver or gold with sea foam, but tons of brights as well as pastels will go nicely :)

if you want more of a design, i would probably keep it pretty simple for a fancy event. blue gradients or glitter gradients would be pretty!

Anonymous asked: would you be willing to do prom nails for free for someone who goes to your school? (:


Answer:

honestly probably not for free hahah but i usually charge $10 which i think is pretty reasonable! if you actually go to my school and this isnt just a hypothetical question message me on facebook :)

Anonymous asked: Hi, i was wondering if you could help me with trying to figure out what kind of nails (color, design etc.) would go great with like a royal purple prom dress. . .


Answer:

depending on what color your accessories are you could try a silver glitter or metallic, it really depends what look you’re going for though. if you want something cute and girly you could go for a light baby pink (try OPI Pink Friday) or for a pop try a bright blue (my favorite is Sephora by OPI Havana Dreams). have fun at prom!

skeerieanne asked: Lots to say to you, besides you're fab & I love checking out your blog. (1) I love your Hunger Games themed nails. Great idea! I wish I had extra time to do the same, maybe after the premier :P (2) What polish colors did you used for Districts 1, 4, 5, and 11? (3) How do you get your gems to stay? [For example: District 1] (4) How do you get the nail polish off your nail beds or do you just have a very steady hand? (5) Favorite/best nail polish remover? CAN'T WAIT FOR DISTRICT 12!!!


Answer:

1. thank you!

2. 11 is OPI “Who the Shrek Are You?” with a BUNCH of old unnamed polishes i found in a bin, 5 is “I Have a Herring Problem” topped with “Zom-Body to Love”, both by OPI, 4 is “I Have a Herring Problem” topped with Sinful Colors “Nail Junkie”, 1 is “Looks Like Rain, Dear” (sephora by OPI) topped with Sinful Colors “All About You” and Orly “Shine On Crazy Diamond”

3. i paint my nails so often that i just stick them on a thick layer of top coat because they don’t need to stay on for a long time :) once i used nail glue and they were IMPOSSIBLE to get off, i guess that could be good though!

4. if i have to i use a pointy qtip with some polish remover but usually i’m just pretty neat :)

5. i love OPI’s but it’s expensive, i also really like sally hansen
