Your Makeup

For your New Years Eve Makeup, I recommend the golden glitz of the Laura Geller Gilded Honey collection. 

They have a beautiful gold metallic color that is not too yellow looking.

The Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Guilded Honey is a wonderful multi purpose product. It's a silky feeling powder that can be applied all over the face. I love it as an eye shadow and highlighter on my cheekbones. 

It is sheer but can built up nicely on the eyelids for a super metallic gold glimmer! Add black liner and black mascara to add sophisticated drama to the glitz. $26.00 @ Laura Geller. $21.00 on Amazon.

Christmas Flamingo Nail Designs: Fa la la la Mingos

It's holiday nail design time and I was invited to participate in the Holiday Nail Art Challenge at Nail Polish Canada! I always create new fun and festive nail art at Christmas time.

I decided to paint some fun, whimsical designs for my holiday nail designs this year. Christmas flamingos. 

Fa La La La Mingos

They are fun, they are happy, they are pink, and they are a bit quirky for Christmas time in the Philadelphia area which suits me just fine! I had plenty of inspiration. 

My neighbor's Christmas flamingo decoration, which I just love to see each year,

This super fun Christmas plate of mine,

and the flamingo decoration that lives in my
 bedroom!

It all starts with a sketch to plan the designs and colors.

After the planning I started my little works of art by polishing the nails with Zoya Leigh topped with Zoya Bela to create the perfect nude pink background for my flamingos.

 Zoya Sandy was the perfect flamingo pink for my flamingos with Zoya Ellie and Zoya Jordan as accent colors. Each flamingo was painted with a fine brush.

They came out adorable. Each little guy has it's own personality! I can't decide which one is my favorite. 
Which one is your favorite? Here is a closer view.

The finishing details include acrylic paint, art pens in pink and black, glitter polish and a nail sticker for the Christmas present.

I hope my little whimsical Fa la la la Mingo designs brighten your day! 

Visit Nail Polish Canada to order nail supplies and see the 2018 contest results.

Local friends, you can see me at Styling Point in Media, Pa for your own little flamingo nail design!

Happy Holidays to You and Yours!

Pantone Color of the Year 2019: Living Coral, Coral Youngblood Makeup and Coral Nail Polish Colors

I'm excited about Pantone's color choice for 2019! It's one of those colors that looks great on just about everyone. I took this pic a few years ago at an amazing beach house I stayed at in Sea Isle City, NJ. It's almost the perfect representation of the Pantone Color of the year for 2019. I say almost because, this Coral isn't living.

Pantone 16-1546 Living Coral

Coral is a optimistic, bright and happy color. It represents a positive attitude that we desperately need in the USA right now! Coral has always been a favorite nail polish and makeup color at the salon. My clients will be thrilled to know it's the color of the year! I think it's the perfect color trend for clothing, makeup and home decorating for the new year. 

Coral Decorating Ideas

Last year's Pantone Color of the Year, Ultra Violet, had a strong influence on the nail polish industry. There were many beautiful shades of purple nail colors from muted to bright from multiple nail polish brands for every season throughout 2018.

Coral can be on the orange side or on the pink side or on the red side which makes it a versatile color that looks great on so many skin tones.

We have recently gotten Youngblood cosmetics at the salon. Youngblood cosmetics are mineral cosmetics made from minerals, plant extracts and oils. They are vegan products that are beautiful and gentle for all skin types. Youngblood has many lipsticks, glosses and blushes lovely flattering peachy tones. Soft coral and peach tones tend to have an amazing anti aging effect. They add fresh clean color that complements many skin tones creating a more youthful appearance.

Youngblood Liquid Mineral Foundation Review

For your Lips

 The Youngblood lipstick in Dragon Fruit provides a sheer wash of coral color with moisturizing sunflower oil. A bit of lip gloss in Coral Kiss on top of the Dragon Fruit lipstick adds shine and a gentle shimmer with no sticky feeling.

For your Cheeks

 I adore The Youngblood Mineral Radiance powder in Splendor! It's four colors in one compact.

It adds peachy coral color with a soft radiant shimmer to your cheeks. Use it as blush, bronzer and highlighter or use your blush brush to swirl all the colors together for a glowy dimensional blend of cheek color. You can also use the Mineral Radiance on your eyes for a soft sweep of color to create a cohesive monochromatic makeup look.

For both Lips and Cheeks

If you like simplicity, Smashbox has the perfect product to give your lips and cheeks the perfect Living Coral look. It's the Smashbox LA Lights Lipstick and Cheek Color in Laurel Canyon Coral. It has buildable color so you can choose how intense to want your color to be whether is a subtle sheen or a more intense flush.

For your Nails

Zoya has a bunch of fabulous colors to coral up your nails! There are red corals, orange corals and pink corals so you can easily find the perfect coral for you and be right on trend.

Yana, Maya Dixie, Kylie and Virginia are a few great coral choices to get the Living Coral look. I am particularly fond of Virginia. It's on the pinky coral side which looks great with my medium beige skin tone. Visit zoya.com.

Zoya Virginia

 For your Eyes

Coral eye shadow may not look the best on everyone. It can be too bold and look a bit avant garde. Stick with warm pink, peachy, gold, tan and warm brown shadows to coordinate with your coral lips, cheeks and nails. The Morphe Pro 35 Eyeshadow Palette Warm 35W has a nice selection of warm eye shadow colors. The Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Eye Shadow Palette is another nice eye shadow palette option with peachy shades.
I'm excited about the Living Coral color trend. I hope this post has given you some makeup color ideas you can use now and into the new year.  Beauty products always make great gifts. Now you know the trendy color to buy!

Have a Beautiful Day!
