OCC Holiday 2012 Collection - Metallurgy Now On Sale

OCC's first Holiday Collection is now available worldwide and I have to say to say the new products look completely amazing, how can they not be when liptar and metallic have been put together in one little tube?

OCC had the following to say about The Metallurgy Collection 'After three years of intensive product
development, OCC is proud to introduce a whole new breed of Lip Tar. Infused with state of the art hi-resolution metallic pigments, the unparallelled opacity has gone high-voltage electric with a reflective shimmer finish.' And apparently you need even less that the original lip tar!!!

Here's a look at the new colours 

Authentic

Electric Grandma

Tryptich

Yaoi

Iced

You can purchase the new liptars now on OCC's website for $16.00 or if you are Europe based you can pre-order the new shades at The Make-up Artist Boutique for £9.25.

Let me know your thoughts on the new collection.

Review: Nail Art Nail Tattoos

I absolutely adore doing my nails, It's one of the best things I do to relax. So when I got my fingers on these nail tattoo stickers I was rather happy.

When I opened the packaging I was pleasantly surprised. They're in pretty nifty packaging which just folds back flat, meaning they are easy to put away once you have finished your nails.

 First of all, even if you are rubbish at all the slinky painted nail designs and dont fancy paying loads for decent looking nails, these will be right up your alley, they're not overly expensive but look really pretty.

There are enough stickers in the pack to do a full set (all ten fingers) six times. On the model I only used one finger on each hand, just for a bit of a difference.

For starters I put on Collection 2000 Nail hardener as a base coat as it makes it easier for the colour to look even. The models nails are painted with 3 coats of Collection 2000 hot looks sherbert lemon.

After waiting for them to dry, you simply gently peal the nail stickers from the backing paper, and place them on the nail in which ever funky design  takes your fancy. Very carefully push down to make sure it's secure then coat them in a top coat to seal them in.

Simple as that!

Nail Art's Nail Tattoos are available for £5.99 from skinartuk.com.
