Beauty 101: Fall 2014 Nude Nail Trend

Fall 2014 Nude Nail Trend by lyndseycamille featuring a nude nail color

I am a self-proclaimed manicure maven! My dresser is full of nail polish, from glitter polishes to bright neon polishes. An entire dresser drawer is home to nail design brushes and manicure kits. However, I won't be needing an abundance of color this Fall 2014 season. Throughout the summer, I became extremely bored within a repetition of bright pink, poppy coral, and classic red nail polish colors. So, I traded in bright colors for nude polishes. I found that the nude polishes complemented my accessories and made my fingers appear more elegant and lady-like. Now, two months later, who would've thought nude nails would become the Fall 2014 trend?! A nude nail look is all based upon your skin tone, a deep-toned lady may want to go for a more chocolate, rich nail color, a bronze-y girl for a soft tan polish, and a fairer skin girl for a creamy or pink-toned polish. Nude polishes are perfect because chips aren't as noticeable and can easily be dressed up with a coat of glitter polish.

Beauty 101: Summer Nail Polish Colors

Summer Nail Polish Colors by lyndseycamille featuring a bright pink nail polish

Summer nails are all about fun designs and color! Whether a girly look is desired or an edgy look, any style can be achieved.

1. Blues and purples work for all seasons and style depending on the shade. Purple is the color of royalty and looks great on a variety of skin tones. Bluer shades are youthful and peaceful and, like purple, work with various skin tones.
2. Pinks and reds are very classic summer colors. These colors look great with a more girly look, especially when paired with glitter and sparkly polishes. Pinks are great for an everyday look while red is even more perfect for a more classic and classy look. 
3. Nudes, white, and sparkly polishes are perfect for a simple manicure. These colors look amazing for a more formal look or a very clean nail look.

Beauty 101: Valentine's Day Beauty

Valentine's Day Beauty by lyndseycamille featuring a lip gloss

Valentine's Day is the perfect day to bring out your girly side. Whether you're going out on a date or a girl's night out, it is always fun to make your nails, lips, and cheeks dazzle. Nail polish is easiest and simplest way to show the Valentine's spirit. Go traditional with red or pink polish or switch it up with white and silver. Lip gloss and lipstick is a great way to make a statement no matter the holiday. Lip gloss gives the lips a flirty side while lipstick goes for the chic. Blush will give you the ultimate look with flirty and girly cheeks.

2014 Style and Beauty Goals

2014 Style and Beauty Goals by lyndseycamille featuring nars cosmetics

1. Head gear! Well, not literally! This year I want to try a new kind of accessory, hats. I have never been one to wear a lot of hats, headbands, turbans, etc.; however, I want to try. A hat can pull together a look while headbands with cat ears just look fun!
   
2. Bracelets! It may not be noticeable in pictures, but I have very small wrists. Because of this, bracelets always fall off so I rarely wear them. However, so many bracelets are coming in the forms of ties and belt-like straps which make them adjustable. So now I can create my own version of "arm candy" for 2014!
3. Eye makeup! I love the look of big, bold lashes and strong brows. This year I want to create my perfect eye makeup routine. Not a routine with lots of colors, shimmer, and blending, but something simple but powerful. Dark, full lashes will accentuate any eyes and strong brows can complete a look.
4. Prints and skirts! For 2014 I want to try bolder prints and cute a-line skirts. Although I already wear lots of prints, I want to get out of the usual cheetah prints and wear more graphic and abstract style prints. I also want to add skirts to my wardrobe which I seem to have a lack of.

Beauty 101: Tame the Brows

Eyebrows can make or break your look, but your individual brow shape depends on your face. However, you don't need to wax and thread your brows everyday, unless you're desiring sparse brows. The key things to keep your brows looking good include tweezers to take away out of place hairs, an eyebrow brush to put brows in their place, and brow gel to keep the brows in place all day. You may also want to try out a brow pencil or brow powder to fill in you brows and make them more defined.
