First Franken - Midnight Sun

Well, having the stomach flu couple of days ago, wasn't fun. And on top of that, it caused that I had to skip one long waited evening with my friends!! Although the feeling was then so awful, that it didn't piss me off at the time, not getting to go there. But since I usually have very few evenings planned during the month, I think a lot those evening I have plans. Well not a lot... But, you know...

So this time I had my outfit for the evening planned beforehand, and I just have to show it here:


(Never mind the wrinkles) And a bit closer the lovely shoes:


Love the bow :) So the clothes were ok, but the problem was that I don't have maching nailpolish! So when I went to watch my niece, I packed along with me some nail stuff, including some blue and red colors.

Ok! I had pretty nice morning there, playing with my niece and watching some How I Met Your Mother (Best show ever!!!) -episodes. During that I did some mixing with the colors I had with me, and was kinda pleased of what came up:


This blueish, purpleish colour with red flakies from the Night Party was what I was thinking when looking the possible colors to use. And I topped it with miss selene 173, which is clear base with mostly purple glitter mixed with silver/hologlitters.

And there are the polishes I used in this. H&M Blue My Mind and Lumene Night Party. I didn't mix these in a bottle, but in a little candle holder which is made of glass. Little batch at a time. That's because I don't have any of those bottles that can be used to that, or even half empty never used polishes that might be good for the operation. But it could be done also like that :)

Here is how it went with the dress


Perfect match! But then what happend? My stomach said its own opinion to the matter, and I didn't get to go and show my matching outfit :/ Well, maybe second try two weeks from now!

And as the title says, I decided to name this franken to Midnight Sun, 'cause of those red flakies (that aren't showing in the pictures..) that flashes from the night sky. Speaking of which, hope the book will come!!

Couple of Hauls

Hellou! Something totally off topic for starters:

So I'm trying to get to university next fall, and the book that I'm supposed to read and learn from cover to cover, was published today! There is like month and two weeks to study before the test which takes you to the "next level". To some interviews and stuff. I think this is my last chance, because probably I'll put all my effort to this year, and am too pissed if not getting in. Seriously! But I will get there this year. I truly will!

And to the point. On last week, and again this week, I kind of bought only few polishes. Actually, it is only a few! While waiting to start ordering from the internet (yes I know, why to wait? I'm a bit coward for doing things for the first time. I need my time...) I've kept my hands away from polishes like O.P.I., China Glaze, Orly and so on (I think those are the only known brands you can get from my town..) and only searched polishes that costs under 5 euros. There are some surprises when doing so, some good ones and some... not so good ones. Haven't quite figured yet which I've get the most.

Here is the earlier one


From left to right, Wild and Crazy Neon Yellow and Lemon (?), Golden Rose 119 (gorgeous!!) and cute miss selene 173. All of these from Seppälä.

I already tried the green one, and I didn't like it. I mean the colour is awesome, but it didn't apply very well :/ And how I already hyped the brand earlier. Well, I'm not totally down with it yet. I will give them another chance, not just right away.

But that Golden Rose!!! I'll put that to another post, but have to say: WOW! So simple, so cute.

On to the second haul. These ones are like one from here, another from there... well, see for yourself


From left to right, Revlon 097, Plum Seduction (gotta love the name!), Sinful Colors #302 San Francisco, IsaDora 93, Brisk Yellow, Wet'n wild Deep Rouge, Mavala Tropique and some Eveline cosmetics, Party Colours 470... Some of these are just like "hey, that's a cheap one.." but Mavalas were all on sale, and usually I don't like any of them specifically, but resently I have been starting to love those blues!! Can't wait to get Tropique on my nails.

San Francisco... That one I would have loved, only if it had dried in a decent time!! But no. I think I'll have to give her aswell a second chance as soon as I get some drying topcoat. Here is the only thing I could capture of it

And there is also some kind of a cut. But love the colour..

Quite a long post, but hope somebody is interested! Tomorrow I'm going to have some fun, don't know yet what to wear on my nails!

Tylsyys!

Vielä en ole viitsinyt ruveta laittautumaan, joten ajattelin kaivaa taas jotain vanhaa tänne ihmeteltäväksi. Päivän teemaan sopien, tuon päivän valoon ensimmäisen maistiaiseni Absolutely Alicesta, kun sitä piti heti oston jälkeen testata.

Lähtökohta oli tällainen:


Seppälästä kun saa näitä suunnattoman suloisia pari euroa maksavia miss selene 5 ml lakkoja, niin niitä käytin tässä. Pohjalla muutama kerros vaalean lilaa sävyä 149 (nimiä lakoilla ei taida olla, vain nuo numerot). Päälle vinolakkaus sävyllä 150. Kyseessä oli siis lähinnä testailu, että miltä nämä näyttävät kynsissä, ja aika suloisethan niistä tuli. Päälle päätin sitten lisätä Art Clubin tummansinisellä rajaviivan, ja oikeastaan tuota haalean-vaaleaa täpläkuviota olen miettinyt jo aiemmin.


Maalarinteippiä apuna käyttäen, painoin laatasta m57 leopardikuvion, kuin se olisi painettu jo ennen sinisiä. Ensimmäistä kertaa kokeilin konadoida jollain muulla kuin erikoislakalla, ja testaukseen pääsi, niinkuin olin jo aiemmin haaveillut lakan haalean helmiäisyyden takia, joku ikivanha La Femme, väri 29(?). Hyvin ainakin tuolla tuntui onnistuvan, voi tosin olla että kyseessä on sellainen väri joka antaa anteeksi pienet virheet.

Mutta siis Absolutely Alice. Tältä kynnet siis näyttivät silloin kun Alicen kävin ostamassa, joten kynsien sininen osa lähes huusi itselleen glitteriä!! Ja täytyyhän kynsien toiveita kuunnella:



Ja tässä vielä paremmin näkyvät nuo täplät.



Joku näissä ei kuitenkaan niin hirveästi säväytä. Eikä Alicekaan missään nimessä pääse oikeuksiinsa pelkille kärjille lakattuna. Well, nytpä pääsen kuitenkin laittautumaan!

Hey Wonderland! Here I come!!!
