Crows Toes BLUE CHRISTMAS

Posted by John Sundoro Sabtu, 09 Februari 2013 0 comments

I am nearing the end of my Crows Toes extravaganza!

This is Blue Christmasm a dense glitter in tiny blue and black colors with some silver holographics thrown in for super sparkle. ( Ignore my bare tips, I decided to scrap a sticker off the kids window before they had dried properly.)

Photos are 3 coats, no base color is needed. First 2 above are taken in shaded natural light, photo below is in full sunlight.

Crows Toes can be purchased at Llarowe and Overall Beauty.

MUD Electrify It

Posted by John Sundoro Jumat, 08 Februari 2013 0 comments

Woolworths has a bin of super cheap MUD polishes for $2! I got this one last time I HAD to go in a supermarket (I get my groceries delivered weekly), and was keen to find out what the formula was like.

Formula was thin, this is 3 coats. The other cheap brand in almost the same color is Ulta3 Purple Pumps and that needs only 2 coats. Stamped with China Glaze 2030 and Cheeky plates.

1940s Polkadot Dress Set, Bakelite Cherries & Irregular Choice!

Posted by John Sundoro Rabu, 06 Februari 2013 0 comments

My goodness, I bought this 1940's dress set sooooooooo long ago and I only just pulled it out of the wardrobe now to wear! Does this mean I have too many clothes?

I am a HUGE sucker for front pockets.

It has rhinestone buttons and I'm wearing bakelite cherries!

This brooch arrived with a cherry floating around in the box. If you are in the market for a dangling cherries piece, please inspect the string attaching the bakelite balls very carefully before buying. If buying online, make sure you ask the seller if the strings have the green plastic missing and if there is any wear to the exposed strings before bidding.

I got more comments wearing this set from anything else I've worn for a while. It's become a little tight in the waist area.....but I am trying to work on that!

Yep, it's another silver holographic on the polish market. But it's a good one. Yes, I did also buy the Aqua Base and yes, it does make a huge difference as to the application and coats needed. I am converted.

Two coats of FNUG Psychadelic, finished with a coat of Seche QD.

Everything's Coming Up Blue Roses

Posted by John Sundoro Sabtu, 02 Februari 2013 0 comments

I never wear solid black. It's so boring. But the splash of blue roses make this an acceptable addition to my vintage wardrobe. I searched on Etsy until I found a HUGE rose hair flower, because a plain-ish dress like this screams out for large bouquets in the hair.

Doing the Flamingo.

Unfortunately, it ripped during the first time I wore it, and not along a seam, so I have the expensive task of taking it to my dressmaker to try and be fixed.

Yes, it looks like I'm demented but it's a photo showing my blue petticoat! I know it matches and looks pretty even if nobody else sees it!

Our Quiet Week

Posted by John Sundoro Jumat, 01 Februari 2013 0 comments

Fresh flowers for my kitchen.

Miss 4 was bored so we made a cake.

Miss 11 was bored so SHE made a cake! It's a dragon holding an egg (just in case you couldn't tell!)

I was bored so I made a cake! A Chocolate Marshmallow Pie actually.

The last week was very boring here. It was too hot to venture outside and we spent most of the time indoors baking (couldn't you tell?!) and reading.
What did you get up to?
