Green Nails:

Time to skip your much loved French manicure and other colorful designs but go for a clean polished green or gradient green nails for R-day. Tri-color manicures are passé so choose your favorite hue of green and have fun with it. Here’s how to do ombre Green nails at home;

1. Take bottle of green or any other shade of dark green and coat your nails with it.
2. On a plain dish, empty a blob of your base green alone with second shade, a shimmery pastel green
3. Mix the two blobs of green together with a tooth pick or the back of the Q-tip.
4. Take a makeup sponge and dab it in the mix. Now, brush the sponge on your nails carefully.
5. Move it up and down your nails, finishing on top to make the sparklers stand out on the tips.

White Eyes:

Ditch the standard black and experiment with the other side of monochrome. White can also be used to make your eyes look bigger and to add life to colors by using it as a topper for dark hues. White on eyes can be tricky but here are two ways to do it.

• Color trick: Do lower waterline in a bright color and let the eye liner on the lid be bold yet soft and feathery white. You can even do a double dose of lining your lids with a color first and then adding and highlighting the hues with another white line above it.
• Snowy Days: Just apply white frosty eye shadow on the inner corners of the eyes. This brightens up the eyes and makes them look bigger. You can also do frosty white eyes with loose shimmers on the lids and white eye pencil as a base.
