How to get ‘Ten lords a leaping’ inspired nails and lips. The inspiration for this look is very different to all my other looks. I found it very hard to come up with  a look for ten lords are leaping however after some long hard thinking I got inspired by today’s government at the house of ‘lords’ at Number 10 , Downing street in London! So what better to take inspiration from the famous black door with number 10 in gold? Find out how to get these beautiful gold and black nails and lips….

Nails:

Step 1:

Begin by applying Shade 2 nail varnish, £1 to all your finger nails. Let this dry completely.

Step 2:

Using gold liquid eyeliner in Shade 3, £1 with a steady hand begin to lightly draw number 10 in the middle of your nails. You can add as many tens as you want!! Or Shade 2 nail varnish alone is just gorgeous! Let this dry completely.

Step 3:

To give those black nails a shinier look and to last longer, apply a clear top coat in Shade 17, £1 to all your finger nails.

Lips:

Step 1:

At MUA we currently don’t have a black lipstick so I have used the intense colour eyeliner in Shade ‘Jet Black’, £1 where I lined my perfect lip look then finally filling in all the remaining lip area with the pencil.  In my opinion this eyeliner is so much better than any other black lipsticks I have used as it’s creamy and such a strong pigment, however if you do want this to last all night or for a show, photo shoot etc. I suggest you set it with a black eye shadow.

Step 2:

Now taking inspiration from No.10 door I have used a gold liquid eyeliner in Shade 3, £1 applied to the inner part of the top and bottom lip, as it’s wet gently dab this into the lips with your finger to blend the colour out.

Step 3:

Finally set the gold liquid eye liner and to make the gold more pigmented apply single eye shadow in Shade 30, £1 onto the liquid eyeliner. This also make’s the lips look sparkly!

And there we have our 'Lords a-leaping' inspired nails and lips:
