Fiery orange nails with OPI Deutsch You Want Me Baby? (Plus a FOTD!)

As recently promised, I'm bringing you another polish from the Fall 2012 OPI Germany collection!  This is Deutsch You Want Me Baby? and I think it's the perfect Fall color.


Of course, not like it has to be Fall for me to wear a glowy orange on my tips!


This dries very true to bottle but it does show brush marks easily.  Mine has some pretty visible stripes so you need to keep your hand steady when painting this one on your nails.


This reminds me of a glowing fire or the leaves of a tree changing color.  I think this would look really nice with a silver glitter on top, or maybe even a red glitter.


You can see my brush stroke veering off to the right on my middle finger.  Ignore the sloppy job - I was just wanting to swatch this color but it's not my final destination for the night!


I have a review for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Want You To Want Me palette coming up later this week but I played around with some of the pieces and thought I'd share my FOTD today!


Liquid eyeliners will be the death of me - how do they work?!  I wish I could get the hang of them, but for now I'll take this rather shoddy cat eye look.


I layered Members Only and Graphic T's as my two shadows for a nice, matte look which would make the liquid liner pop.


I decided to do a dramatic lip because why not?  I thought about adding some gloss but I watched "Titanic" last night and was super-obsessed with Kate Winslet's matte lips throughout.  I update the look by using matte pink.


Here's what I used:
- Neutrogena Shine Control Primer
- Make Up For Ever HD Foundation in N117
- Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream in Fair to Light (as an undereye concealer)
- tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder
- tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in Adventurous
- Lorac TANtalizer Baked Bronzer
Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadows in Members Only and Graphic T's
- Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid eyeliner in Jet
L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions mascara (not pictured)
- Anastasia Beverly Hills clear brow gel
- Kat Von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick in Berlin


XOXO

Wet n Wild Mega Liner is a major let-down

I'm just going to admit that sometimes I have a sick pleasure in reading negative reviews.  When I see that Christine from Temptalia has given a product a F rating, I feel a little twinge of glee.  When A.O. Scott (my favorite movie critic) tears apart a new movie, I smile a little bit.  


So, if you're like me, you're going to love my review of Wet n Wild Mega Liner Liquid Eyeliner because I'm here to trash it.  


Trust me - I wanted to love this product.  $2.99 for a quality, eggplant color, liquid liner would be phenomenal.  Unfortunately, this one isn't it.  


I picked up #864 in Plum.  Unfortunately, this product is far too runny and not anywhere opaque.  In the swatches below, the top line is one pass, second line is two passes, and third line is three passes.    



You shouldn't have to go over liquid liner three times to make it work.  Plus, it doesn't translate well on eyes, where it refuses to dry down.  Plus, this made my eyes watery.

This product gets a big, huge NO from me.  0 stars.  A grade of F.  Bummer.

If you want, you can purchase at almost any drugstore or online at Walgreens.com HERE


XOXO
