Grey and pink duochrome.

Hellu!
Here's a polish I got in Scotland. My first Models Own, bought at Boots.

This is one coat (I think) of Models Own - Indian Ocean over one coat of H&M - Miss Stone Heart (loveonecoatersforevah). The color is a bit hard to describe. Greyish base with a pink flash?

The pink flash was more visible IRL. Lookit the bottle! Purdy.

Toodels!

Day of DIY # 12.

Hellu!
I haven't had a DIY post in a while so that's what's up for today :) When I was working I made a smoothie in the morning and brought that to work as my second breakfast. I eat breakfast at 6-6.30 and lunch isn't til 12 so I need something in between. I really like smoothies but I wanted something that was easier to bring when school starts so I experimented a little with some kind of bar ;p

I read a little on the web to see how it could be done and bought some dried fruit (no sugar added). Here you can see the ingredients. Hazelnuts, oatmeal, honey, coconut oil, dried figs and apricots, pumpkin-, sunflower- and flax seeds, goji berries, shredded coconut and some oil.

In you go! Mix it up.

Then I spread it out and poured some more shredded coconut on top to make it a bit less sticky. I didn't bake these. Half of what I made went in the fridge and then I put the rest in the freezer (after cutting them into bar-y pieces lol). I had mine in the fridge for several weeks and thought they held up nicely :) No conservatives there! And they taste good :)

Have you tried making your own bars? Next time I want to try making them a bit more salty by adding peanuts :)

Yellow and green leopard.

Hellu!
I felt I should do some non tape nail art so I don't totally forget how lol. I've been meaning to do a water marble for like ever but I didn't have the time or energy so I went for something easy but still fun. Leopard print! :)

Base is Face Stockholm - eemh yellow and the green dots are with the other Face Stockholm polish I got from my sister (no name for that one either) :) The black is A England - Camelot + SV to smoooth it out.

Bright and fun :)

Do you like leopard print? If so, traditional or these fantasy leopards? :P

Dancing.

Hellu!
This weekend the place where we dance had an open house (don't really know what that's called in english?) so we were there to show people what we do. American Tribal Style. Here's a post I did about that. The bf came by to take pics. Here are some of me dancing away (altho it kinda looks like I'm standing still... -.-)! ;)

When we're practising we don't wear this much decorations so it was fun to get dressed up :)

Looking at these pics I feel like making lots of tribaly pieces. I'm going to make a belt, this one is borrowed from my mom. It's pretty darn cool!

This was actually the first time I've danced for an audience, even though it was a really small one :P I had a great time :) Gotta love improvising! :D

Yellow creme.

Hellu!
Yellow cremes are usually a streaky mess. Why that is, I have no idea. It just seems yellow pigment is some evil thing that won't flow smoothly. Anyways. I got this polish from one of my sisters and tried it out. The formula was quite good actually. Color me surprised ;P

This is two coats of Face Stockholm - ??. (There was no number or name on the bottle.) I thought it looked pretty good and I didn't use a top coat :) Another nice thing about this polish is that all the ingredients are listed on the bottle.

I did some nail art on this one as well so I'll show you that later :)

Toodels!

Purple holo aka sister of Tristam.

Hellu!
A real swatch of this beauty.

Two coats of A England - Lady of the Lake. Flash. Rich dark purple holo. Blingarific!

Pretty in the shade as well.

Gah, I sure do like 'em A Englands.
Toodels!

Scotland # 3.

Hellu!
The last of the vacation pics.

We took a train to Nairn. Taking pics with self timer and a tele zoom lens like a baws!

Walked over to the beach. Really nice sandy beach. Although it didn't seem all that warm in the water :p

We do like the self timer ;)

Another pretty view from a bridge.

On our way back.

Back in Inverness. This cat was chilling at a garden supply store. He was cute and cuddly!

Sometimes the bf thinks I'm crazy. Mwahaha! In my defense, some of the things were gifts... :> Look at my new knitting needles in the right corner. Sooo pretty :D

There you have it folks. It was a great trip :) I thought I was going to find a lot of loose leaf tea but it seems that's not very popular in Scotland. I bought some tea bags anyways :>
Toodels!
