I really need practice on perfecting the "cat eye" technique. I think I'm pretty good w/ liquid liner, but it is a challenge for me to get both eyes to look the same. My eyes & brows slant downward, so it poses a particular obstacle for me to "get it right". I've followed the advice of countless YouTube Makeup Gurus following the lower lashline to slant up & then filling in. UGH! I'm still a work in progress. Anyway! I had fun this morning working out my look. Of course, I had to throw on my Bali Girl to complete the look. LOL

Nails Of The Day no flash I had to run an errand today. I had to touch up a couple of my fingers, but I couldn't find the original color (Opulent Pink by Revlon), so I just put this e.l.f. Bubble Gum Pink on top.
No Base, (I ran out!) NYC Extra Shiny Top Coat

When the polish arrived, it looked as if it was seperating a bit. I could see the pearly white apart from the bright pink. I shook it up, but a great deal of it remained @ the bottom. It dried rather quickly. There were 3 coats used. It is pretty thin, so a good base is a MUST!
Not bad for a buck! Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts about this in the comments section. :O)
