How To Paint Checkered Nail Art Instruction
Checkerboard nails are on of my favorite designs.
they are quick, easy and very effective!
Paint a bright base coat and allow to dry.
It’s easiest to paint this with a long flexible nail brush.
Paint two evenly spaced stripes of black along the nail.
And make them into squares by painting stripes the other way.
I had room for 3 on my nails.
To create straight lines hold the brush still then move your nail under it.
This technique works especially well when using your non-dominant hand.
It helps to load the brush all the way up so the coat is even.
Make sure to lean both hands on something steady like a table.
Now begin filling in every second square with black.
Fill in the diagonal squares in the center row.
Don’t worry if the finish isn’t even, when we top coat later it will be nice and shiny.
And that’s about it really.
So again, stripe the nail to create squares to colour in.
And colour them in.
Looking good!
Now you need to give it all a top coat to make the surface even.
Much better!

Lancome Infinite Power Vibrating Mascara

Price: $39.96

Obtained: Given in gift bag

Thoughts:

Vibrating mascara has always been a love/hate concept for me. I like the idea but I also don’t like the idea of vibrating things near my eyes because they’re very sensitive and ticklish. To get this one to vibrate you have to hold down the button on the lid which can be a bit annoying to do for long periods of time.  The formula is thick and very black. It thickens my lashes a whole lot but  also found that the thin brush made it harder to distribute easily. I wasn’t a fan of how it looked on the top lashes but the tiny prongs of the brush made it very easy to apply on the bottom lashes. This is one of my favorites to use on bottom lashes because of the brush. Overall I don’t think the vibrating really made a difference to application so I preferred to use it without.

Would I buy Lancome Infinite Power Vibrating Mascara again: Probably not. While I like it for bottom lashes the price is a bit high for something that I would only use on the bottom. The vibrating wasn’t so much use for me. That said it might be exactly what someone else is looking for on top too so definitely worth a test.
