Fabulous Fourth (Pinterest Inspired)

One of the down sides of being in the restaurant business is that you usually have to work on holidays that most people with "normal" jobs have off.  It is on days like that I really miss my teaching job and long for the future when I will be back to a "normal" schedule.  So I decided that if I couldn't celebrate the way I wanted, I could at least decorate myself a little for my shift and bring the patriotic to my guests.

Enter Pinterest.  Oh, how that site is addicting.  Here are some pins that inspired my look.

And here are the looks I created after being inspired by those pins.

To create the eyes, I found a fat navy blue eyeliner by Wet N Wild and a sparkly blue and sparkly white eye shadow.  I couldn't find red so I just got a bright red lipstick and dabbed a little of that on the crease before applying the two shadows.  To do the nails, I just used an OPI red I already had and bought a Sally Hansen blue.  I also found a nail art stencil with stars and a nail art pen in white.  It took me a painstakingly long time to do my nails so I'm really trying to come to grips with the fact that I will have to remove this nail polish soon. I got a lot of compliments on my makeup and nails last night.  I even got really good tips (was it the patriotic bling or just sympathy for having to work on a holiday?).

How long do you thing it would be appropriate to leave on the red, white, and blue nails? LOL
