Artsy Fartsy

 

Thought I would share a little bit of what I've been up to in school. For those of you who don't know, I'm studying Fashion Communications and I really love the program. I've been able to learn so much and improve my skills in a variety of classes that I would now say I was pretty mediocre at before. I wasn't able to snap amazing pictures of all my assignments but I want to show you all a little bit of my artwork!

I spent a few weekends ago painting a Juicy Couture ad using a grid and as I would squeeze paints out I just happened to adapt to the habit of biting the tip of paintbrush. I felt that it was something an artsy Audrey Hepburn would do. (see picture above - the finished assignment down below)

| Messy Messy Me. | Finished. Done in Gouache  paint
  | All skin, Chalk Pastel; The rest, A variety of    objects and fabric | Left: Pointillism; Right: Pencil
  | 8 Minute Watercolour sketches.
  | After adding some detail. My personal Favourite I'm glad I was able to share this little bit of my life with you all! I also may be posting more assignments as they come along, especially my finished dress which up until now, has been drafted a million times but is finally being cut out of muslin (yay! almost done!).

a chic nail tutorial

With the Holiday of love in affect I felt that my nails needed a little sprucing up!!! I came across this nail look on Kylie Jenner's Instagram, however, she had it decorated as an alternative take of the "Tuxedo" nails I did a few weeks ago. I simplified it and came up with this look and tutorial so you can follow along! This nail tutorial is great for the Valentines Day Season because it has subtle hints of pink without necessarily looking like you match all the Valentines Day decorations. I feel that a lot of Nail tutorials I've seen so far for Valentine's day incorporate bright hues of pink, red, and little hearts galore... they make look cute but I think they're a bit too cliche. Here's the video tutorial! I hope you all find it helpful! : )

 The great thing about this nail look is that you can wear them anytime during year! Not exclusive to any holiday or occasion! (Even thought they're perf for Valentines Day) They're quite literally (in my opinion) the new french nails! AND If you're looking for an alternative to the popular "Dagger Nails" I feel this nail tutorial will do the trick! The black sides create the illusion that you have your nails in that pointy shape but without dealing with the painful "cat woman" nails. Especially if you wear contacts... 

Lots of love, thefashiontrigger
