My dear gypsy ACEO.
This little lady was done with pen and watercolours. I really do love the mystery of gypsies. There was a children’s book I read a while ago about gypsies/rom that sort of inspired me into doing this. Damn I can’t remember what it was called… It’s a series and I think the second one was “The Silver Horse”… there was a charm bracelet and the kids had to get all of the charms back (one per book) or their family would be killed. Hmm, I’m going to have to look into this.

Get ready for it guys… there is going to be an overload of nail art in this!
As some of you might know I’m trying to win a competition for the most creative design using a Konad Stamping B kit. It’s over at OC Nailart, they are awesome if you ever need any Konad supplies check them out!
…well here are some of my entries, what do you guys think? I know, I know, I’ve gone pretty crazy! I want to win this so badly though!
Cutesy umbrellas, go away rain!

Used: Blue base coat, silver umbrella konad, white umbrella konad (to give depth), blue glitter polish as rain, blue nail pen for the lines.
Woo Konad! Give me prizes!
Used: Purple polish, white swoop tips, white flower stamp, pink ceramic flower.
Omg I love these, I’ve upped the contrast in the photo above so you can see the design. They are stamped with really light pink so it’s a barely there pattern. Stamp was repeated several times to create a pattern.
Sunflowers at Sunset. Orange polish with gold flecks, black konad, yellow glitter.
Love my B Kit!!
This is so much shinier in real life! Started with the turquoise base, white paisley konad and matching butterflies to make a pattern. Blue swirls to fill the gaps and green glitter.

Farily self explanitory… I like stars.
Green fairy garden. White base, green glitter over the top, green konad, pink tip and more glitter and jewels.
A pink garden. Pink base, gradiated silver glitter tips, white konad butterfly then a bunch of stickers.
This one is awesome, the base is actually tissue paper 😀 Then a red and white stamp over the top!
This was inspired by fireworks. Black base, light orange and white konad with transparent stars. LOTS of clear top coat!
Look they even match my eyelashes!
So there you have it! What do you think, is my nail art in with a chance?

Just a casual outfit post today.
This is basically what I wear when we meet clients or if I have to tone things down for any reason.
Basically it’s just my plain shoes, a dress and a cardigan to make it more conservative. I really like my hair like this though.
It’s good on a hot day!
I tend to monochrome a lot lately, what do you wear for your casual outfit?

I love green eye make up, so pretty.
Some of you have been asking about my eye make up so here are a couple of quick shots to show you what I’ve been doing lately!
Good old green eyes. Green graduated to white with black eye liner and mascara. I LOVE liquid eyeliner.
Now this one should look better than this but it was taken with the old camera who’s flash is weird. It’s black faded to pink faded to white, there is black eyeliner (which came out white because of the flash) and diamantes.
I tell you what I would have worn those lashes everyday if I didn’t end up allergic to the glue 🙁 The last time I wore them they gave me such horrible chemical burns that my eyes were puffy for weeks 🙁 It looked like I was wearing red eye liner.
PATCH TEST PEOPLE! Also if you guys know of a good hypo-allergenic eyelash glue send me a link please!
On a completely different note a while ago I was asked to write for SEEK’s new volunteer finder website. I volunteered in a bunch of theaters when I was younger and it was fantastic. Anyway the website is up now so if you’re interested go have a look here: http://www.volunteer.com.au My story is under the Arts/Entertainment category.
And in equally important news I’ve been Konad-ing my butt off this weekend and having a blast! Thanks so Brooke for pointing me towards the Konad competition, I’ve done so many entries that I really hope I win. Wish me luck! I’ll post all the photos later this week 😀
What are your favorite green eye make up looks?

ACEO Friday time again.
Good old Betty Sue sure does love chatting to her girlfriends on the phone! The pin up inspiration continues and I’m running out of things to say about it! I hate writing these descriptions, I’m so terrible at it.
