To My New Zealand and Australian Readers
I have a special request for you, recently reader Kate brought to my attention the fact that my blog was featured with 7 other blogs in Cosmopolitan magazine, and I would LOVE to have a copy. If any of you would be willing to send it to me, I can paypal the money for the magazine and shipping! It is the Cosmopolitan with Leighton Meester on the cover. :)
E-mail Me!
Thank you!!! :)
On Orange Alert
So my goodies (and Chris) arrived from India today! He brought back awwwwesome stuff!! I posted yesterday about the nail polishes that he found for me, and today, I decided to use them for my nail art!! To my Indian readers, I need your help- do you know what color this is? I have two VERY different colors with the same color name label!
I used Lotus Herbals Colour Dew Orange Alert (different than the one on their website- it's an amazing orange creme, totally looks like the color of papaya) as a base, with American Apparel Cotton for the flower, outlined in the actual Lotus Herbals Colour Dew Orange Alert, which IS the shade on their site, a shimmery golden color. Topped it off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
My goodies!!

| Pashmina shawls, the 2 on the left are mine, the green one flashes orange from different angles, and the one on the right is my roommate's, and is hand embroidered! The beads were the gift of a few of the men Chris was working with in India, they thought I'd like them, and they were right, they're lovely! :) |
 |
| Emerald green Kurta, it's a type of Indian attire that women wear- somewhat like a tunic. :) Its hand embroidered and lovely! |
 |
| Lilac colored kurta, this one is also hand embroidered, and is long-sleeved! |
Every rose has its thorn..
I happened to stumble upon this interesting manicure! This manicure is created by Topolino, who is well known for this runway looks especially created for Alexander McQueen.
How they did it:
- Take three roses and slice off their thorns with gardening shears. Be very careful, or you will bleed.
- Paint each thorn a blood red, or whatever color you'll use for your manicure.
- Paint your nails the same shade.
- Take your nail polish and slick the bottom of the thorns with the brush, using it as "glue" for each thorn to stick on each nail.
- Wait for it to dry
Mhmm, I doubt if they'd stay on, just like that. Obviously, you won't be needing brass knuckles anymore if you're sporting this look. It's definitely unique but it's not my style so I'd never wear it, I'm way too clumsy anyway and most likely I'll take out an eye or something.
