Models own polishes…

Models Own: Tangerine Queen
Models own: Pink Punch
Models Own: Aciiied
Models Own: Purple Passion
Models Own: Pink Fizz

So, like everyone else, I took advantage of the Models Own half price sale this week. You’ve got to love Models Own polishes, so easy to apply, their longevity is amazing, great packaging, & some of the most ‘on trend’ & unusual colours for a pretty reasonable buck!

I managed to bag most of the colours I had been lusting over, unfortunately pink explosion & Emerald City were out of stock :( ah well, hopefully they’ll be back in stock soon!

As you can see, I have got a bit of a ‘thing’ for bright neon nails at the moment. I really am so happy with the colours I bought & as always I am so impressed with the colour quality of the polishes & they come out exactly as  they look in the bottle which is fab! My favourite of them all has to be ‘Tangerine Queen’. It’s so bright! I have never seen a nail polish even remotely like it before.

Did you get anything from the Models Own sale? Leave me your links to your blog posts, I’d love to see what colours you all bought! :)

Barry M peach lip paint…

Barry M lip paint: 54 Peach
Gosh velvet touch lipstick: 134 Darling

A little bit of a ‘different’ post for me really. I know I said a little while ago that I wanted to make my blog into a little more than just outfits & so it kind of makes sense, being a make-up artist & all, to start up doing beauty/cosmetics posts again, it seems like the most obvious thing to do especially as I want to get back into doing my make-up artist stuff & I feel a little stupid having ‘make-up’ in my blog name when I never post about it, haha.

Anyway, I picked up Peach lip paint the other week on a bit of a whim really. (I have become a little obsessed with orange at the moment so my only proper excuse for buying it is because I liked the colour.) When I first tried it out I was really shocked at how orange it actually was on my lips! Which would be great for a night out or something, but not for my kind of ‘everyday’ make-up. I have been toning down the neon orangyness with a layer of GOSH Darling lipstick over the top which turns it into more of a ‘soft’ peachy/orange which is perfect for my ‘every day’ face. It’s also quite matte so it dried my lips out a little however a little bit of blistex sorted that out, no problem!

I know I keep going on but I really like how ‘peach’ looks against my hair, I wasn’t sure if it would be too much orange but I think it looks sweet! ^_^

DIY dip dye shorts…

Shorts: vintage Levis
Dye: dylon, ‘forest green’ & ‘intense violet’
Studs: this eBay seller

Remember those white shorts I bought at a vintage fair, not to long ago? Well, I knew they wouldn’t be staying white for long! haha. As predicted, I wasn’t getting much ware out of them so, I decided to make them a little more interesting. As you can see I have dip dyed them.

It was a very easy (messy, so if you’re going to do it, I suggest you do it outside!) process. I just followed the dye instructions on the packets & dunked my crisp white shorts into a bucket of dye. & Obviously, no DIY shorts would be complete without studs! Good job I had some left over after making my studded shoes! ^_^

You’ll be seeing these babies in an outfit post soon no doubt!
