Tiger Lily

Tiger lily, your a silly little jezebel
Midnight medusa, playing games of kiss & tell
Luscious lies upon your lips
Seven sons under your spell
(Roxx Gang "Tiger Lily")

I took these pics quite a while ago (before Easter if I remember correctly), but never posted them, mainly because I didn't like the wig. When I ordered it, I imagined it to be completely different, but alas it wasn't. 
It's my first "wig letdown" & as I love all my others, one failure isn't too bad, right?

IMO, I look too much like an Emo - but much worse: my BF thinks I look like Michael Jackson (& I've a hard time taking that as a compliment *lol*).

But then I thought WTH?! I took these pics & now I'm gonna share them with you :-D
So here we go:


















Face: MAC Mineralize Satinfinish Foundation NW20

Cheeks: MAC Bite of an Apple

Eyes: MAC Going Bananas on lid, MAC Vanilla to highlight, Essence "Berlin Story" liquid eyeliner to line

Lips: MAC VG Cyndi

Nails: Misa Happy Happy w/ P2 Black Crackle

Hairbow: Etsy

Jewelry: random

Chicken: rescued from Kik :-D

Where Did All The Flowers Go?

...They're on my nails! *yay* :-D

You already know this nailart from my last OotD photos, but I wanted to do an extra post on it to show you a more detailed pic. 
Actually, I planned to do a tutorial showing you in which order to apply the polishes, which brush & dotting tool I used, etc. 
But then it happened...*tension is rising*...my camera broke! It suddenly showed "card error" & from then on I couldn't take pictures anymore :-( 
My memory card is integrated in the camera, so I don't know if it's possible to repair it without costing a fortune. It's only 2 1/2 years so I didn't expect any issues, yet & I really need my cam! 
Hopefully, tomorrow I'll know more. At the worst, I need to buy a new cam. Geez, this is so sucky, first my modem, now my cam - as if I had a cash cow...

So all I can show you at the moment is a picture of my floral nailart:


I used one coat of Illamasqua "Boosh" as a base. It's important to use a polish that only needs one or two coats so that it dries quickly. If you don't wait until the base polish is dry, you'll mess up the design.
Then I used a fine nailart brush to apply small strokes of Orly "Pixy Stix", Illamasqua "Jo'Mina" & Orly "Gumdrop" that formed the flowers. The last step was to apply small dots of Misa "Happy Happy"as the center of the flowers & to highlight the design.
It took me about an hour to do this design, it's the most complicated nailart I did to date.

Daisy Inspired Nails

I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but I feel so exhausted & tired after a pretty long, stressful week. I even went to bed shortly after midnight *gasps*. (Usually, I rarely sleep before 2 or 3 a.m. - I'm a real night owl :-D)


Anyways, due to my drowsiness I don't have any new make up looks for you, but I'd like to share a new nail art with you.


Last week (or maybe it's already 2 weeks ago?) I saw the first daisy of spring in our garden:




It inspired me to do the following nail art:








I used Illamasqua "Milf" as a base, sponged with Orly "Mint Mojito" (nearly invisible) & Nubar "Forest" & dotted the daisies with OPI "Alpine Snow" & Misa "Happy Happy".


BTW: I'll do a tutorial on how to sponge as soon as I can, but I really suck at things like that, so please bear with me ;-)


3 days ago, the first duck (a male :-D) visited the pond in our garden & comes every day since *yay* 
During mating season, ducks always like to visit our pond & I really love it! They are so cute :-) They know they'll always get something to eat: chicken feed & (unsalted!) peanuts, so they're eagerly waiting for that, too. Sometimes they even knock at our door to make sure we don't overlook them *lol*
