Gold Rush Nail Polish

Gold Rush Nail Polish, originally uploaded by Theresa Di Moan.

Gold rush nail polish, again from gold miner Lise Watier, and shoes to go with it:

Luichiny Minx in gold of course $92.95
Well, that's about as froufrou as I can ever see myself going...

Onex Broadway in platinum $93.95
- Sorta Middle Easter or maybe East Indian inspired? I'm not a huge thong wearer, and definitely not high heeled slip-ons, but these have something about them that I just like...

Nina Gelato in gold $98.95
- Well, this could be straightforward tacky. However, I like the T strap and I like the ankle strap too. Along with the rheinstones all over the place, these are as glamorous as a shoe could be, without over doing it (I think). And the heel is only 3", can you imagine the comfort?!

Baby Phat Soft Cat in gold $73.95
- I really like the heels on this pair. Otherwise they would be overly tacky...

Kenneth Cole Py-Baby in gold $138.56
- Gladiator sandals gone glamorous in the most subtle and sweet way. These can be easily dressed up (evening gowns) or down (shorts and tank top). Let's just hope the sole is as flexible... I often find sandals from this genre to be very stiff...

And the following which are not open toe, so the pedicure won't show... But I couldn't help noticing them and had to share ;)

Baby Phat Mulberry $99.95
- Don't you just love these charms? I think the lock has captured my heart ;)

Bobbi Blu Unveil in light gold metallic leather $82.95
- These remind me of Flamenco shoes. I think they'll look equally great with a pair of jeans or a tiered skirt.

Getting tired of all that gold? Do you think I've turned into Midas with a gold touch?
Well, don't worry, this phase will be over soon, at least on my blog that is... Next posts will have a completely different colour as I try to find a matching purse to my gold dress and bronzed shoes... And also you're gonna get a sneak peak into my wettest fantasies for footwear this spring!

Gold Rush Make Up

Gold Rush Make Up, originally uploaded by Theresa Di Moan.

I've been in a crazy gold mood lately...
Not quite pure gold, more of a coppery tone, as well as shimmering nudes...
For make up here is what I used:
Foundation: the sheer and ever so flattering Aveda Tainted Moisture spf 15 in Sweet Tea
Lips: shiny and wet Aveda Lip Glaze in Kamara Fruit
For the eyes:
Annabelle Duo Eyeshadow Gel in Go-Diva
Bronze from the metallic Lise Watier compact, apply lines across from corner of eyes to outer side of eyebrows
Finish with Aveda Petal Essence Triple Accent in Gold Leaf / Geranium (below eyebrows and below lower lids - use only the gold end of the pencil of course!)

Up to here this is all pretty normal, but here comes the twist -

Cheeks: gold and bronze from Lise Watier metallic copact. This creates a slightly distrubing "diry cheeks" look, which I personally loved and found very interesting... Especially in comparison to the pale lips and neautral face overall. It's safe to try at home ;)

Tune in for the rest of the gold rush update tomorrow...
