Vampire Inspired Beauty

Fangs in full force

Between Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, and True Blood it is clear that moonlit-madness is in full swing without any sign of slowing down. Even if these blood-sucking books, movies, and TV shows haven’t yet bit you, we all have a hint of vampire-vixen in us just vying to be released. So let the fangs out and check out the beauty products that bring twilight to daylight and give even the mere mortals among us a bite of what being a vampire is like.

CND Oilslick Colour and Sapphire Sparkle Effects, colour $9 and effects $11,

When these bottles arrived on my desk I wasn’t all that sure about how “vampire-y,” “Twilight-y,” or even wearable these shades were. They sat to the side for a few weeks until I got around to finally testing them. However, the second I tried the layered shades on one nail I immediately had to paint all 10 and quickly put the bottles on my “save forever” shelf. The almost-black blue matches everything and the shimmery finish is insanely cool. Like a fist full of midnight.

Girlactik Night Eye Glaze, $17, girlactik.com
