Update on The Dress

Just a short post today, because I'm very busy with the process of starting my own photography business.
I wanted to inform you guys that I will be making Dress B (here's the original post), because most of you guys voted for it :)
It'll be a very dark blue dress, and I'll line it with silver, to give it a bit of a Moon theme. I'll start on it as soon as things get a bit more relaxed with regards to before mentioned business, and of course I will post updates with pictures often!

Thanks a lot for voting ladies! Much appreciated :)

BeautyFocus Haul

Goodmorning everybody!
A new webshop opened it's virtual doors last week, called BeautyFocus. They sell products from Sleek and Barry M, and I just couldn't help myself. I had to order :)

Since I absolutely love my Sleek Circus palette I decided I needed more of those palettes, so I ordered the Original palette. I also ordered a brush set from Sleek, and a Barry M nail polish in Indigo.

I'll post some swatches and perhaps an EOTD done with the Original palette later, and I will also post a review of the brush set once I've used it for a while.
Here's a shot of the inside of the palette:

The palette was €6,99, the brush set €6,95 and the nail polish was €3,99, pretty decent prices in my opinion.

Making a new dress, but I need your help first!

I've decided to start on a new medieval/fantasy/gothic type dress, and I had this pattern laying around my sewing stuff for ages. But now I can't decide which dress to make!
So that's where you guys come in :)
This is the pattern:

Dress A is the white one (it has a built in cloak, which I kinda love), Dress B the brown one (it has awesome long sleeves). I will be making whichever dress you guys choose from a very dark blue (nearly black) cotton fabric I've gotten as a gift from my mother-in-law a while back.
I will also regularly post updates on the process of creating the dress :)

Please help me out ladies, should I be making Dress A or Dress B?

NOTD - Eyeko Vampira Polish

Eyeko's polishes come in such cute bottles! Today I'm wearing Vampira Polish, 'For Gothic Nails', and I absolutely love it! It's a black base, filled with pretty little red glitters:

This is two coats, and that's enough to get an opaque coverage, which is pretty nice in my opinion!
I did use a topcoat on top to get a bit more shine, because on it's own, it's not shiny enough for my taste ;)
Here's a close-up of my ring finger, to show you all the red-glitter-goodness:

Isn't this just the best fitting polish for my blog layout? lol! :)

If you don't own this polish yet, and wish to order it, you can do so here, on Eyeko's website. They ship for free within Europe, which is awesome, and if you use my ambassador code E10776 on checkout, they even throw in a free gift for you :)

World Animal Day

Today is the 4th of October, meaning it's World Animal Day. Because I love animals, I decided to make today's post a bit larger than usual.
Since I've posted photos of my two cats Julius and Brutus before, I guess you all know them a bit by now, but what most of you probably don't know is that my house somewhat resembles a zoo. Specifically, the reptile house at the zoo :)
The Man and I keep and breed snakes. Ball pythons, boa constrictors and corn snakes. And because today's post is animal oriented, I decided it might be cool to post some photos of my pretties:

This is Pinkeh, our Albino boa constrictor, he's 6 months old now

This is Spidey, our spider Ball python, he's 2 years old now

Pretty, aren't they? More information about them can be found here, at our snakes' website.

Ofcourse I also did a NOTD today, so this post won't be all off-topic :) I chose China Glaze's Gussied Up Green today, a beautiful forest green colour from the 2008 fall collection Rodeo Diva:

 

I love this colour! This is two coats, photographed in natural light.

Finally, because it's World Animal Day, I'd like to give some attention to my two favourite organisations, who are fighting for animals year-round:

Sea Shepherd

World Society for the Protection of Animals

Give your pets an extra hug today!

NOTD - Gosh Ocean

Today I was in an oceanic mood, so I put on this polish ^^

This is a very pretty turquoise/blue duochromy, metallic polish. The duochrome effect is most visible in the bottle, but it does show up a little on the nails.
Here I'm wearing two coats, with CG Fast Forward op top. Photographed in sunlight.
I know it's more of a spring or summer colour, but hey, when I'm in the mood for a colour, I'm gonna wear it, regardless of the season, lol!

Have a very nice weekend everybody!
