A bit of an OoTD – and Tuli’s giveaway

Not really the most flattering picture ever, but hey ho!

Top from Gina Tricot

Cardigan from Twinkie Chan (Can be found here when she posts) She also now has a line called Yummy You with her famous Cupcake scarves and so much more!

Jeggings from Lindex

I will be trying to update this a little more frequently with these kind of Outit posts in the future, as it makes me think a little more about what I’m wearing and what works or doesn’t!

*I don’t usually blog about give-aways – but Tuli has a lovely give-away going on right now for perfume in celebration of her being in a top 50 nail bloggers post :) Congratulations Tuli!  Be sure to check it out, and maybe be a lucky pup!

Arockalypse French Manicure NoTD

So from yesterdays Petite Polish I then decided to play french manicure, but with a crackle twist.  This was my apocalypse nature manicure for the PHD weekly challenge and I really like it.

Från igår’s lack tog jag min Isadora grafitti – apocalypse french haha!

This was my attempts at layering for a bark-like effect.  I want to try this again at some point, but with matte top coat.  Personally I think I was trying to add too much :(

And the actual entries.

Night Party flakies NoTD

I got this last week in a sale, it’s a brand called Lumene and the colour is called night party, a brown shimmer with flakies.  Initially the bottle made me so excited that I simply had to have it (I mean FLAKIESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!111!!!!oneoneone), but the initial application when I got home made me all sad.  The brown was too pigmented (and not jelly enough) to show through the awesome sparklies.  Dispondant at it being a bit rubbish, I put it away and growled a little.

Having only a quite small collection, and fancying a change I dragged it out today to swatch, and I must say I’m actually liking it.  Though by gum it’s a hard colour to photograph (perhaps even more so when it’s raining!)

This is three coats, though it could take two I think.  The flakies are diffused throughout the nail, although the shimmer tends to catch the light more in a lot of cases.

Just look at the bottle, is it hard to see why I got excited?

Though on the nail with a few layers it does look kinda nice…

There are flakies scattered through out, though the camera tends to only catch them away from the main light source.

Overall I can see myself wearing this a lot in the autumn, and perhaps with another layer of flakies on top, haha!

Crafting week – Day 4 top!

Today was the day to do something with the second of the two t-shirts I’d been surgerying. (will add link to old one here).

I wanted to make a skirt, but unfortunately there wasnt enough material, then it was going to be a dress- but as you can see, not the most in the way of material!

I love working with t-shirt material, and this was no exception. It did take a bit of fighting to work out how to do it, and it could have
been a wee bit more flattering, but overall it seems like a pretty rrasonable job. I cut the back to show
mr sea chicken tattoo and also to destroy a logo (it’s a bootleg tee and I don’t really like logos anyhow, even if the pattern on the front is maybe a logo.) The picture doesn’t show it so well, but there is a ruffle on the bottom of the top in brown to match the ties on the straps.

Anyways onto the pictures :)
