Nail varnishes, finally!

I can't believe it's already Thursday. Time goes by too fast, I don't even get time to think.

Not to mention that it's too hot to even try thinking..

However, I finally got this post up!

.......

And so...
If you ask me, I don't think I have that many nail varnishes. And most of them are from Kone Helsinki, since the store I get them from sells them really cheap, and the quality is actually very good, even with price as low as 3bottles/5€. Not bad at all, especially when I can't really buy 10€/bottle nail varnishes... 

Thought I keep lusting after O.P.I nail varnishes. I've managed to get myself one from eBay, for less than 10€. Well, pretty much everything else except those Kone Helsinki varnishes are from eBay..

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of myself actually wearing these colours on my nails, so can't give you guys any hints of how they look on nails.

But let's start with many pictures!


^ So first there's of course everything needed to prep my nails. Nail varnish remover, scissors, cuticle pusher, nail file, nail strengthener pen & varnish and hand cream. Only thing missing is my cuticle oil pen. And of course base & top coat.


^ These small bottles I've gotten from eBay. They were 0,99£ each. And all of them have a different smell to them. For example the indigo varnish smells like blueberries. Brand seems to be DongDong.


^ And here's first of the Kone Helsinki varnishes. These are gold shaded (the one on the left will be in another picture below.). The one in the middle is more glittery. And the right one is rose gold coloured.


^ Here's all my red varnishes. All from Kone Helsinki. The red on the right will be in a picture below. And pinks are all on the left.


^ These are part of the Duo Chrome set (I have five of them, in the picture below.) The colours are great, but unlike the rest of Kone Helsinki varnishes, these need more coats to look good (around 4 coats).


^ Here's all of the Duo Chrome effect varnishes. The colours change depending on light or shadow. The purple one seems bit golden, blue seems dark purple, green looks olive gold, red looks dark brick colour, and the golden one shades to pink.


^ Here's my glitter varnishes, and also my most expensive varnishes. 
From left: Layla Nail Polish - copper ceramic effect, Nfu Oh! corset bottled glitter top coats (eBay), We Care Icon - Diamond varnish (light silvery colour), Missha - iridescent glitter top coat (eBay) and last but not least is O.P.I - Metallic 4 Life varnish from eBay(needs a base colour under for better look).


^ Etude House - Gradient nail varnishes.


^ Of course I've also gotten myself some Konad stuff. Going to try making corset nail art with the fishnet pattern. Got these from eBay too.


^ And my newest additions, pale gold varnish and black & white confetti top coat.

.......

It's too hot in here. And thunderstorm is on it's way here. Well, at least it's not sunny anymore ^^ ♥

I hope I'll get the next post up earlier. There's some new things I want to show you guys! I've been repainting doll accessories lately and gotten my neck very sore from that. I also got myself some new cute flats, since my old flats broke... :/

I'm also planning on some new artsy-craftsy stuff here, going to post about them when I'm done.

Happy soon-to-be-here weekend to you all, remember to drink a lot of water!

Byebye!♥

New clothes!♥

I know it's not Sunday anymore. Yesterday I was sure it was still Saturday, and by the time I was going to bed I realized what day it actually was. I guess it's because I spent almost whole day crafting shoes for dolls. I was done by 0100am and very tired... Oh, I never mentioned that I've got a thing for dolls? ;D

However I got to finish what I started and I'm quite proud of the tiny shoes I've made. I don't have any pictures now, but I might post about them at some point.

.......

Anyway, on with the new post!

As I've told you all, I was visiting my family in Nummela, and I brought back some new clothes.
I went shopping with my mother and since one clothing shop that sells clothes for fat women, we decided to go and check if there'd be anything for me.

And there was! I finally got myself some black capri pants!♥ 
No more hot summer days in long black jeans. Unfortunately I have no picture of those pants, but they're quite simple, fitted capris with few silver studs.

I also got myself two new, very light knitted shirts. They're great for all seasons, especially summer since they're very light, so it won't get too hot when wearing them. 
And yes I wear long sleeves in the summer since I get sunburnt so easily, and I hate using sunblock, especially because it's so thick and sticky, and I'd have to add it once every 30 minutes... 
And finally I have some other colours in my closet! And I've got couple pictures of those shirts.


^ The first one is quite long, and even thought here it looks like dark bright orange, it's more like bright coral. 



^ This one is shorter, sleeves too. Material is same in both shirts. And I love the dusky rose colour it has♥

.......

Next I have two dresses to show. I got these from my friend♥ She was selling them in a online auction, but knowing that she'd never get much from them, she thought it would be better to give them to someone who knows their worth. Plus I've always wanted to have 50's dresses, but never had the money or never found dresses with nice patterns and correct sizing.
And the reason my friend didn't keep them herself, was her huge boobs :D 
Too big for the dresses. So finally something good came out of my small tits. yay♥

Both are halter neck dresses and knee length.


^ First dress has pink peonies (and some other pink flowers etc..) on it. 


^ Close-up of the flowers, sweetheart neckline. This dress also has a belt made from same floral fabric.


^ Second dress has more tropical feel to it. Parrots, pineapples, hibiscus flowers and monstera leaves.


^ And very fancy neckline.

.......

I've also gotten something small for myself. I bought a beautiful chiffon shirt from eBay (it was less than 5€!). And to my surprise, the size was perfect, even thought I was feeling a bit doubtful. After all, I got it from china, so the size was, what, Chinese XXXL? Not sure. Thankfully they had centimetre measurements there, so I was quite hopeful. And it was just perfect for me, plus with such a low price (and even the quality is great!) I might even get another one.

I also got myself another jewellery "stand", or in this case, a hanger. Because the ones I've gotten from eBay are already full...

Anyway, some pictures!♥


^ My second white cloth in ten years! Love the chiffon fabric, it's very light, and it's not too translucent. Perfect for hot summer days.


^ Also liking the black lace very much, plus the "formality" of this shirt, meaning cuffs and collar. It is a pullover shirt (so the buttons are there just for the looks), and clearly it's made for people with very small heads and no glasses. I have to take off my glasses to be able to get this shirt on. And even my false eyelashes are in danger :P


^ And this baby I got from Tiger! I can hand earrings, necklaces and bracelets to it :3

.......

And last, but not least, is a souvenir from Nepal! 
As some of you may remember how I told about my dad and little brother hiking over there, conquering Himalayas :P
Dad got me two of them, one for me and one for my fiancé.

Made from yak fur (smells like animal!♥).


^ Picture is quite dark, even with all the possible lightings I could get...

.......

Unfortunately this is all the time I've got for now, I need to start getting ready to go out. A package is waiting for me at our local post office, can't wait!♥
Also, I'm quite busy this week, but I'll do my best to get that darn nail varnish post up, hopefully next weekend! I've only got to take couple new pictures and that should be it!

And off I go, see you!

Next post will be up on Sunday 16th!

And trying to make up for the lateness of the next post, here I present you with a couple of pictures. Of flowers. That we have a lot (especially lupins..). Lot's of different shades of violet and a bit of pink.

I just love flowers♥


^ Road banks are full of lupins. Mostly violet, some pinks and even whites.


^ Lilacs are mostly light violet in colour, but sometimes they tint towards pinks and blues.


^ I love their scent♥

.......

And see you on Sunday!

Celebrating my brother's graduation.

Hello hello!

So I came to Nummela to arrange and celebrate my brother's graduation.

I was in charge of almost every food and drinks, while my mother helped me out.

We had smoked salmon & potato salad, deer & tomato sandwich cakes, biscuits, lemon & white chocolate mousse cake and two different kind of punches. One with alcohol and one without it, which tasted like roses. Lovely. Very manly :P ♥

Anyway, I only got to take pictures of the cake so I'll add them.


^ Sides are made with bubble wrap :3


^ And the "ribbon" says "Congratulations Tomas" in Finnish.

.......

But we had so much fun. Few relatives had come over and couple (my cousin and grandmother)
stayed for two nights. And of course with my cousin it means that we had to go out later and drink. A lot. Oh my. Well, no need to drink for a while now :P

And on Sunday my brother and I came to our father's place to celebrate again, this time with other relatives. I didn't really feel like celebrating much, after all, I was suffering from hangover :P

.......

I think I'll go back to Tampere on Friday, and my childhood friend is coming with me, to stay with us for few days. Can't wait. She'll get to meet our cats again, not to mention everything else we get to do.
I've spent most of my time here with her anyway, since we don't meet that often. But maybe in the future she'll move to Tampere, at least she's been talking about that with her fiancé.

Just have to keep on hoping ;)

Oh and I got some new stuff! I don't have any pictures right now, so I'll tell about them later! Hopefully I get to post before I leave, but I can't make any promises since I've got quite a bit of things I need to do here before I leave.

Gotta go,
Byebye!♥
