Summer Night Out Look | Makeup, Hair and Nails

Hello ladies, hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today I'm gonna show you a complete summer night out look which includes makeup (of course), hair and nails. This is will be my entry for Beauty and the Beach 2 contest.Let's start with makeup.

If you are following my blog for a while you know that when it comes to eyeshadows I tend to prefer using neutral colors but for special occasions I often throw some color in to make my eye makeup look more interesting. If I was on vacation I would definitely wear this type of makeup for a clubbing night or even later dinner. I used pink,yellow, blue and some neutral eyeshadows.Now, I know it might scare the girls who don't dare to wear some bright eyeshadows but why not try something different? You might even end up liking it more than your go-to makeup. When I created it I wasn't expecting to like it so much but I love it and I think that it compliments my brown eyes, what do you think?

Excuse the no makeup face but I took the picture before I film the makeup tutorial. For summer I decided to do a small change on my hair and do a light ombre using L'Oreal Wild Ombre, I don't know about you but I love how my hair turned out. Anyways, the actual hairstyle is pretty simple to do.I have no experience in hair tutorials so I'm gonna do my best to explain how to achieve this:
- Take few front pieces and braided them. Do this on both sides but if you have bangs don't include them in the braid. Don't braid the hair all the way down just enough so the two braids meet each other on the back of your head. Secure them and let's move onto the next step.
- Take the rest of your top hair and tease it to give some volume and brush them back.
- I wanted to spice it up so I used the headpiece you see, unfortunately I didn't bought it online and as a matter of fact it was a gift from my grandma. I put it between the braided hair and the teased part to separate them.
- Take thin curling iron and curl the rest of the rest of your hair. I didn't want very defying curls so I went for wavy hair, besides my hair "don't like" very defying curls and they become loose curls very fast so why bother? haha. Also curl the rest of loose hair from the 2 braids you created before.
- Lastly secure the 2 braids behinds your head with few bobby pins. Oh and of course don't forget to use some (lots of) good hairspray.

The last part of this look is of course the nails. As you may know, there is no way that I will walk around with plain color on my nails. I'm not saying that just nail polish is bad but I can't not do some nail art specially if I'm going out. I present my summer night out nails:

I think this design is very summery and you can change the colors if you don't like them. I used the China Glaze For Audrey and Zoya Rica nail polishes. I didn't have time to film and edit a tutorial for this design but I will write it down just in case you want to recreate, although it's pretty easy to create it just by looking at it.
- To create the gradient effect on the half of the nail all you have to do is to take a makeup sponge, apply the 2 colors of your choice ( makeup sure than they overlap each other in the middle to create a transitional color) and sponge it onto the nail. I wanted the colors to be more vibrant so I first used the same method just with white nail polish so it will act as base for the colors.
- On my pointing and ring fingers I created 3 white petals, that have small line at the base, at the top left corner of the nails. Also I added 2 lines of small, white dots where the gradient ends. For the flower center I used 1mm silver rhinestone.
- On the rest of my nails I added 2 white swirls between the gradient and rest of nail. I also placed a 1mm rhinestone in the middle, under the swirls on each nail.
- To finish it, I applied some top coat.

And this is the end of my post and entry. I do like the look and it is definitely something that I would wear for a night out on vacation or generally during any night outs in Spring and Summer. I would love to know what you think on my entry?
