French Manicure Madness ~ My Fifth Polyvore Contest Entry

Ok, I swear this is my last contest post for the night. This is obviously all about different takes on the French manicure.
I'm personally a huge fan of nail art. I love to create it, I love to look at it, and if it makes any difference, I'm in possession of the famous Skrillex nails painted by the amazing Robin Moses. (It was so sweet of her to send them to me and I'll post pictures of them as soon as I can.)
I think a good manicure can separate the girls from the ladies. Even a solid color nail can have epic results if done properly. But a well-done French can instantly bring you up in class, because a person with nails that at least look like they took time must take good care of themselves.
For this one, I actually wrote a message in french over the backdrop, ending with the Je t'aime in the front. I can't remember what I said, which is part of the beauty of this piece, but I know it was about holding the most beautiful loved one in the highest regards, but in a dramatic, poetic way. Also threw in an "Oh là là" because... well, it's glamorous and French!

Go Flamed Out Bold with COVERGIRL® ~ My Fourth Polyvore Contest Entry

This is obviously a contest created by a certain cosmetics brand in cahoots with a certain chain store, but I still felt like adding my 2 cents. I'm a firm believer in the power of red lips and dark eyes. If ever you don't feel quite up to par on a given day, slap this look on and, I promise, it's the simplest quick fix there is, and it flatters every style, from gothic to edgy to pinup.
I stuck with Taylor because this particular photo of her really captured the essence of the overall look in a way that's easy to understand. Remember, bold doesn't have to mean crazy. (Look who's typing.)

5-Minute Makeup ~ My First Polyvore Contest Entry!

So I finally found out how to enter a contest on Polyvore, and of course I jumped at this one first. Very simple and classic and an absolute go-to when I'm in a tight pinch. The photo didn't say, but I'm 99% sure that's Hayley Williams in the top photo, who I'm a big fan of. I even stayed up and bought her MAC collection before they even had a page for it on their website. (I was somehow convinced they were going to sell out before I could get everything I wanted from it because that would be my luck.)
