All hands on deck!

Hello~ One of my major lemmings from China Glaze's Anchors Away collection was Below deck. Dubbed as the dupe to Channelesque, I knew I just had to have it. While nail bloggers have compared the two and declared them as very-similar-but-not-quite-dupes, I think I'm satisfied with Below deck anyway :).

This is two coats of Below deck and no top coat. What a gorgeous and shiny polish <3. My love affair with purples will never die, haha.

I layered on one coat of White cap to see what it'd look like. Pretty, but I think there are better combos out there (yeah, I'm looking at you Sew psyched... :P).

Shades of blue bridesmaid group creates a very good marriage. Blue looks very nice on the beach or poolside wedding, because it reflects the color of the blue water is very refreshing.

Most people want to go blue bridesmaid dresses for its simplicity. If the marriage must take place in a summer day light, flowing fabrics like chiffon, georgette, silk, or can look very attractive and increase a lazy summer. And the switch to color, choose a bright color, like turquoise, sky blue, pastel powder blue, blue, etc. And if the wedding is scheduled for a cold day in October, November and December, instead of selecting a more rigid fabric and more widely as the raw silk in shades of deep blue, dark blue, electric blue, etc.

Now, the models may vary depending on your body type. If you're busty and choose a dress style corset or V-neck that can make your tone at the top.

Whatever the style or type of clothing that is, it is essential to ensure it is correct and if the lady is free to move to catch the bouquet and the possibility to plan the appearance of your bridesmaids for their wedding soon!

Kitty Kreations - Lufee Nails

This is Lufee

AKA: Foof, foofy, foofy pants, purry pants.

No idea what sort of breed she is, but I would guess at Himalayan-ish.  She is pale cream/white all over, with cream points and bright blue eyes.  She is also TINY, the smallest full grown adult cat I have ever seen.  She easily sits on just one knee, and can pretty much sit in my husbands hand!!

The story as to how we ended up with Foof is an interesting one.  An acquaintance of my mum was down at the local lake and found her. There is no residential area near the lake and she didn't know what to do with her. She had dogs at home, but knew my mum had cats, so she put her in the car and bought her over. 

We all thought she was a gorgeous kitten, and then I noticed the tattoo on the inside of her ear, a mark that shows shes been desexed.  We took her to the vet and had her scanned for a microchip.  They found one, and looked up the owner.  We were so happy to know that we were about to return this kitty to its home.  I know how upset we would be if we were missing a kitty.

Anyway, the vet called the owner and told them we found their cat.  Their reply was "oh, that cat, she ran away about a year ago.  We've got another cat now and don't really want her."   We couldn't believe it, first that this tiny kitty was a couple of years old and second, that they didn't want her back. So we scooped her up and took her home and never let her out again (except into our awesome cat runs).

So here are my Lufee nails.

I started with a white base, and sponged on OPI Samoan Sands to the tips.  I then added a franken blue fleck shimmer which represented her bright blue eyes.

Because the white was kinda thick and then I had to sponge a lot of Samoan Sands on to get a good colour, the tips ended up chunky and had massive shrinkage.  The blue shimmer also ended up looking really frosty. 

The top photo was outside in the sun, and the below indoors.  You can see the shimmer/frostiness of it clearly belown. It certainly was a different mani, and definitely represented my little Foofy, but I don't think I would wear it again.
