Color-blocking continues to rule the runways. Popularized by the fashion houses at Gucci, Jil Sander, and Prabal Gurung, this hot fashion statement has had amazing staying power. We think it’s the boldness and vibrancy of the look, which of course, can be translated to nails, too.
If you’re feeling inspired to create something a little more original and unique on your own, here’s a do-it-yourself video so you too can have a fab color-blocked look in just a few simple steps!
Background: I have been working in the beauty industry for 8+ years. I worked for a variety of cosmetic companies such as MAC, Makeup Forever and Shu Uemura, aside from freelancing as well. I also managed a salon for three years, which was my first experience in the beauty industry, and I’ve been hooked ever since!
Beauty Tips: I’ve learned a lot of valuable beauty secrets during my time working in the beauty industry. My favorite tip for styling hair is to flip your head upside down, when blow drying, to get the roots dry first then before flipping your hair back over shoot the roots with a blast of cold air. This will keep the hair from falling flat and is a great way to add volume without having to tease the hair. I also love to use my flat iron to curl my hair, and add my favorite styling product Bumble and Bumble’s Surf Spray; it makes for a messy effortless look.
I think the most important tip for having your makeup look the best is to use primers. The better your skin is prepped, the smoother your makeup will go on and the longer it will last! My favorite eye primer is Bare Canvas from MAC; it works great if you have oily eyelids like me. It is a sure way to keep your eye makeup from creasing and making the colors pop! My favorite face primer is Makeup Forever’s HD Microperfecting Primer, it will make your skin look flawless even before you apply foundation.
Can’t live without: I am definitely a beauty product junky!! I cannot live without my Smoky Eye Mascara from Makeup Forever; it makes my puny lashes look like falsies! And I am also obsessed with nail polishes and my collection just keeps growing. I probably buy a new color once a week!
Where do you get your inspiration for your style? I am most strongly influenced by the style of the 60’s. Mainly the Swinging London scene that emerged from England, where style icons like Jane Birkin and Marianne Faithful were discovered. I love the mix of effortless beauty and famine rocker chic.
Where do you like to shop? Since I spend the majority of my time behind a computer I tend to do lots of my shopping online. I love Free People, Spanish Moss and Nasty Gal. I also love doing some vintage shopping when I have time to explore; I love boutiques like Moss & Rock, in Long Beach California. They have a great mix of vintage and new apparel.
Our Blogger of the Month is LLYMLRS and here is a little bit of background about her:

How did your blog get to popular?
I really don’t know, It just sort of happened. I hardly had any followers (about 100 or so) at the beginning of 2010, and it all sort of exploded from there! I just found my niche and then ran with it! My blog wasn’t a overnight success and I think you must try and be as patient as you can and keep going and working hard at achieving your goals
How do you do your nails?
I either use Nailene 200 full cover nails in active square or these from ebay. The Nailene ones dont need any prep as they are small and easy to stick on and go, but the cheaper ebay ones require alot of effort to shape them. Its so easy to do nail art on the eBay ones, as I tend to paint them before I actually put them on, saves having to wait for them to dry! I use Nailene Quick Dry Nail glue on them, I change them every 5-7 days. My nails are ruined from years and years of acrylics, so I’ve not noticed any difference since using them.
