Heya folks! I'm just dropping by for a moment before I start putting make up on for today's party. My mani is drying, so it's a perfect excuse. :)
I wish you all the best in year 2013, may it be happy, successful, full of health, joy, laughter and those precious little moments that just make everything better.
My NY mani is China Glaze Tinsel Town, an old photo:
And a quick photo of what I baked today for the party, as I'm quite happy with the result. :) Cinnamon buns! I wish I could gave you one as well. :)
Have a great new year's eve, whether with your friends and family or with a nice book or a good movie and nice warm tea, may it be a good night!
In last two days I got an idea for another 'theme' on the blog. I have one for ages now but I want to take my time for that one, which just might be a mistake, as I never find it. The idea behind the theme of today is simple and I wonder if it will stick. The thing is, sometimes I find something on beauty blogsphere and I just die a little, I like it so much. Either a look, a shade, a product ... whatever. And I often think to myself: I have to mention that in my next post on blog! But then a day or two pass, I write a post, it seems already long enough or that any other news in it would stick out a bit, and I leave it behind. And now I will try with this, we'll see how it turns out. :) I know there are many ways on the internet for similar things, Pinterest, Twitter and so on, but I'm not drawn to it. I hardly ever use Facebook too. I have my blog and that's my piece of internet I like to use. :)
This discovery made it on top of my make up wishlist. I was browsing through blogpshere and Phyrra's look caught my eye. As I looked at the products list, I noticed the eyeshadow named Bazinga. Eyeshadow named Bazinga?! I clicked my way through the Internet jungle and found Darling Girl Cosmetics. One of the indie brands of make up products and the creator behind the brand made a Big Bang Theory inspired eyeshadow collection. Lord. Of. The. Rings. Not sure if I even mentioned that, but I am a huge, huge fan of The Big Bang Theory. I re-watch many episodes, have favourite episodes as well, and I can find quotes from the show for many situations, proving I am truly a geek. Not to mention that when I saw the names of the eyeshadows, not only did I know who said it or what situation was it taken from, but heard/saw them say it in my head. Yeah. Big fan.
The picture is taken from and property of Darling Girl Cosmetics page! I only cropped the eyeshadow out.
I *love* that the creator used Gerard as a name, that made me laugh. It's such a tiny detail that only a fan would remember. On, not to mention the eyeshadows are absolutely gorgeous. Gorgeous!! My favourite being Alright Ma!, Lizard Spock, Knock Knock Penny, Still At The Nerd Table and What Up Moon Pie?. But all of them are stunning. The rest of the eyeshadow on the page is great as well, but I really need the Nerdvana collection, I'm such a fan of good eyeshadow and The Big Bang Theory, it's a total must for me.
What do you think of the new theme? Do you know Darling Girl Cosmetics, can you recommend any products?
Heya folks! I'm trying quite desperately to find stuff to do in order to avoid college work. I've done a make up look with MUA (btw, love the eyeshadows and the powder blusher, it suits me perfectly), I went for a coffee with a friend, I went for a walk, cooked lunch, made tea, edited photos ...I just might do a bit of exercise and dancing after I finish with this post. You know ... to get the blood flowing and they I'll really go to work! Yeah ... actually, I really do need to work, so I better stop making excuses. But I miss dancing, I just might give it half an hour. And now I'm seriously rambling, aren't I?
Revlon Snow Bunny is a perfect polish for snowy winter. It matches the snow rather well. It's a beautiful white foil, I think I fell in love with white foil when I saw it on Das Experiment blog. Then again, everything looks perfect on her gorgeous nails. :) Snow Bunny is a bit sheer, I needed 4 coats for full opacity, but I really love the finished look. I put Lynnderella's Connect the Dots on top, and they look pretty awesome together.
This is actually how white Snow Bunny is! A bit shaky picture, but it's the best I could get to actually capture the whiteness.
When I started applying Connect the Dots I grabbed the biggest hexagonal ever! See it on my pinky? I did not know hexs that size are even in the polish. It is crazy big. :D I love Connect the Dots, really, it's such a perfect layering polish, it saves just about every possible colour I put it on so far. Revlon Snow Bunny is a very awesome shade as well. Plus it's very easy to work with, if you have the patience to apply 4 coats for full opacity. I do, so it's not really a problem, the brush and the formula are very nice.
Do you like white foils? Which one is your favourite?
Btw, this is probably the song of 2012 for me, I've been listening to it whole day long, might as well put it on the blog. I cannot get sick of it.When I first heard it I actually got that feeling, you know, when you hear a song and it's like a whole new world of music just opened for you and you know this song is going to be like a drug for you, just constantly listening to it, and enjoying every second of it? That is how my love for Agalloch was born, yes.
Hello people! How are you? I hope you are having a great holiday week, whether you celebrate Christmas or not! :) I already feel much much better, thank you all for your kind thoughts!
I redid my mani yesterday, as my previous one got pretty tired. I adore Glittering Garland, it has to be one of the best greens I own. You know I love greens and glass flecks, so GG was pretty much meant for me. Lately, with having little time for taking pictures and the gloomy weather that kills all chances for natural daylight photos (that is especially important for multichromes and holos), I'm enjoying discovering the beauties in my stash all over again. Glittering Garland seems perfect for this season.
Because I really like the effect of drops some bloggers do on their manicures, I decided to try something like that as an accent finger. It did not came out as I wanted, my drops are too shaky and just not right. And this is a dotting tool, for crying out loud. One would think a monkey can use a dotting tool, but honestly, I always screw up my dots. I like how it looks if you don't pay too much attention to the details at least.
I think silver and green go well together. I just thought of Slytherin though ... not a fan of Slytherin, really, but their colour and animal choice are superb. :)
