New nails! Custom set for Meta 2014 LP outfit

Librarycon happened last week, and in commemoration of the first (and possibly last >>;) time Tenshi and I will wear our Meta lucky pack sets TOGETHER, I decided to make nailsets to match each of our outfits!

heart, circular and tear shaped chatons from taobao and crowns from Born Pretty Store

My first try drawing a pleat design. And it's my first time drawing in a loooong time. My hands are so unsteady T_T

Tenshi's nails~

I used silver tape, blinged bows, small flatbacks in clear, pearl, and light blue with little twin stars nail tattoos :3

Tenshi's art group T-RAPS made a lot of cute chibi stickers!

Human octopus? Do you see all the legs?? haha

I was really blind and thought all these arms and legs were part of one sticker, forming a naked human octopus chibi. And so the joke continued with all the other stickers....

Two heads. It's so cute right!?

He's holding my nail? ;w; ❤

Inception.

Another octopus.

My look

The only 'natural' photo I could get of Tenshi

Jojo fans will understand x.x (I'm not a fan so I don't really know the character/story behind this pose...)

Group photo with Pink and Tenshi! I was the odd one out cause I can't draw to save my life orz

My crown deco pieces came in a set of 5 to try out from Born Pretty Store.

The price is actually in the same ballpark as similar items on Ebay, but there are soooo many crowns and stuff to choose from so it's like an aggregated beauty store! Everything is free shipping anyway, so all in all, shopping on Born Pretty Store is just more convenient, equal in quality, and equally as cheap as buying from Ebay!

They have all the stuff you would find on Aliexpress but in smaller lots which is more convenient for people who don't do THAT many nails. I bought a whole bunch of "200 pieces xxxx" and I have nooo idea when I will ever finish them lol OTL

Close up photo because the bling is too strong to see the details hahaha

I really love the detail of a jewel at the top and 5 small ones along the bottom of the crown. Gives it that extra subtle bling bling~

The flow of their stock is really really rapid so every time I go on there seems to be different items in stock haha. I can no longer find these crowns because I actually received them a while ago and haven't had time to use them till now, but there are some awesome nail products that would go with current style trends!

Find these danglies here

Find this pearly cluster here - these save a lot of time when deco-ing!

Review: GEO Flower Lotus Gray

Hai hai ~

Here is my second grey lens review of A/W 2014 (and last of this season)!

This time I decided to try a grey lens with a really bold pattern, for kurogal/oraora style! Even though I have never dressed oraora, and I don't think I could with the wardrobe I have (lol), the style is pretty awesome so perhaps I could incorporate some of it into my daily fashion with awesome lenses!

As usual, I went to GEO/EOS on my hunt for lenses. In the end, these are the two brands I absolutely trust in the market. There are so many new brands coming out in droves, it's hard to imagine that any would have developed a good formula, or one that's better than such established brands right?? (I bought these before EyeCandy's kindly sent me the Royal Vision Bella 4 Tone Gray)

I always wanted to try a pair of lenses that had a pattern like diamonds on it, even though the design is really in-your-face and super unnatural ><

Now, on to the review!

Specs

Power: 0.00 ~ -8.00

Diameter: 15.0mm

Base Curve: 8.7mm

Water Content: 38%

1 Year Disposable

Stock photo. Again. Sorry QAQ

Even though these lenses appear to have a small amount of space in the middle for the iris, it's never obstructed my vision. The lenses feel a little stiff (compared to EOS Ice series), but they're not really drying. It's just quite noticeable that you're wearing lenses. Sometimes with the ice series I really do forget why my vision is so clear without glasses on (lol)!

I think perhaps contacts with large black limbal rings appear smaller than they actually are? The enlargement is not as much as I would expect from an 15.0mm. It feels more like...14.5~14.8 perhaps?

They don't look 15.0mm...

I guess in terms of natural-ness, it's actually pretty good for lenses with a diamond-like pattern. The light grey pattern, though opaque, is not as obvious as I thought it would be since all the colors are in small specks and there are a few shades of grey. Especially since the edge of my iris is not that obvious as the grey is rather opaque, and the pattern diamond-like anyway. However, the inner edge where the grey ends is quite obvious, which I dislike.

Ratings

Design: 5/5 - probably the most natural diamond pattern lenses on the market?

Comfort: 4/5 - feels a little thick

Enlargement: 3/5 - not as much as I was expecting

Overall: 4/5

These lenses would look great with really heavy eye makeup ora ora/rokku style though!

Like this. right? right???? xD

Selfies -

The design is super nice from far away ~

Can't see the edge of my iris at all!

I just wanted to show my hair accessories tbh ^^;

All in all, these lenses were fun to try, but I think (for now) I will personally stick with purchasing teary type lenses. They're just so much easier to work with all types of looks ><
