Inspired by my girl Emily: Look + Nails done

So this post is way over due!  A while back one of my fave nail girls, Emily, sent me a picture of a colorful pastel look she did.  I asked her about the colors, and asked if I could do a spin of it.  Of course she said go for it.  Gotta love this girl!
I have actually done this look two times, trying to make it look right on my eyes.  I changed it a little bit on how she originally did it.
So my first take was done with BH Cosmetics' 88 Cool Matte Palette.
I couldn't find my brown liner for this one (still no clue where it went), so I grabbed a cheapo liner from my kit, and it didn't even show on the tight line at all BOO!  It just didn't come out right at all on my eyes.
I gave it a few days before I tried again.  The second time around I loved how it came out!

Once again changed it up a bit.
Here is what I ended up doing!  This time around I used my loving Sedona Lace 120 Pro Palette First Edition for the colors.


Face:
  • Moisturizer - Philosophy Hope Oil-free 30 SPF 
  • Stila One Step Bronze
  • Origins VitaZing - tint moisturizer
  • Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
Cheeks:
  • BH Cosmetic 10 blush palette
Eyes:
  • Urban Decay Potion Primer
  • NYX Eyeshadow Base - White
  • Sedona Lace 120 Pro Palette First Edition 
  • Milani Cosmetics Runway Lashes Mascara - Black
  • Jordana Easyliner for Eyes - Blue Devine
Lips:
  • theBalm Stainiac - Beauty Queen
  • Milani Cosmetics Crystal Gloss for Lips - Pucker Up
I have to say I actually really liked how it looks.  So thank you Em for inspiring me to do this.
As for what are on my nails at the moment...

  • Ulta Nail Polish - Maine Attraction
  • OPI - Strangers Tide

  • Milani Nail Lacquer - One of a Kind
So sadly, my nails must be redone :(  I went to try Out the Door top coat again, even after 20 minutes of allowing my nails to dry it still smeared :(
You can't notice the smears until you look closely at my nails.  But still it bugs me so much!
Is there certain colors you dare not to try?  What is your favorite top coat to use?  What top coat do you hate to use?
