Girly Thread v. Nail Porn, Makeup Lust and everything else girlie girl

i need some fashion help... i decided to buy some tights. i don't really wear tights (or anything but jeans). but i really like the way they looked.

can anyone help me figure out what to wear these with?
 
^That would be super cute with those tights.

Since you don't wear skirts much a_c, you may check out H&M's skirts - they have some cheap and awesome skirts. They're SUPER comfortable.

I think not only would you look AMAZING in:

but I also think it would go well with those tights. (Comes in Brown too)
Or THIS SKIRT would also be really cute. :)

Love the tights! Where did you get them?
 
thanks guys girls :)

the tights are from a company called bebaroque which is scottish. i got them in a random store that sold only tights. i think i was the only female in all of reykjavik wearing jeans.

^Post the photos of what you decide to wear it with! :)
You could even do a jean skirt since you're comfortable in jeans....might be a nice move into skirts and dresses?

I'm currently on the look out for a GOOD facial lotion with a nice big fat spf number ;)
I am a major lotion nut and have a TON, so maybe I could just purchase some sunscreen and mix it in with some lotion???
Or do you girls have anything you'd suggest?
 
Ocean - I'm the same way, I'm a total freak about sunscreen. I was using Olay for a while which is SPF 15 but I have switched to Eucerin Everyday Protection Facial Lotion which is SPF 30. It's fragrance free, non oily, and doesn't stir up my sensitive skin. For the body, Eucerin also makes an Everyday Body Lotion with SPF 15. Lubriderm also makes one but it smells like sunscreen and is super greasy.

I received my Nfu Oh #061 in the mail and it really is as amazing as all the photos. I got mine from www.fabuloustreet.com, which is apparently Nfu Oh's website, and I believe it's currently in stock. Shipping was completely reasonable too, something like $3.00.
 
^ love it euphoria!

Ocean, I used to mix sunscreen with baby lotion - it worked pretty well but was very messy! It was when I was a very broke student and it definitely did the trick at the time, but probably not worth it now.

I need some eyeliner help :) I love wearing pencil eyeliner but it slides off me (most make up seems to :|) Liquid stays a lot longer (L'Oreal Superliner is the best I've found for me, beats more expensive brands for sheer staying power and I like the applicator) but sometimes I really want the look of a pencil.. does anyone have any suggestions for a budge-proof brand? I'm from the UK so if it's a US make I'd have to order it online and see if they ship abroad..
 
Ocean don't mix sunscreen with other stuff, it messes with the efficacy of it. Sunscreen needs to go on first, then any moisturiser / make up after it's had a minute or two to sink in.

Personally I find just using sunscreen is enough moisture for the day, I wash my face in the shower in the morning then put it on under my make up, then at night I use rosehip oil and proper night + eye creams.

I second PI's recommendation of the Nutrogena sunscreen, and for the Aussies here I also quite like the Cancer Council's Active Spray one (helps fund cancer research as well).
 
^ interesting, glad I stopped doing that haha.. I'll remember to put it on a while before anything else :)

Unfortunately pencil eyeliner just tends to not last very long, especially if you have oily eyelids. You can try using a primer underneath the pencil, but even then the creamier pencils (the ones that don't drag and scratch your sensitive eye area) will still smudge and smoke out on their own over the course of a few hours.

If you're intent on keeping it on, you could try the more 'dry' and brittle kinds - the ones that can also drag and scratch. They tend to last a little longer and won't be as prone to smudging.

HTH!
 
^ I definitely have oily eyelids. I might try a dry one and see how it goes, but maybe I will have to resign myself to liquid. I wouldn't mind it coming off during the day, I could always reapply it, but I always end up looking like a panda :(

Thank you COTB :)
 
I love that colour, PI <3 PS: Our toes are really similar (my mum has almost identical toes to you)... you have lovely feet. I'm not a foot fetishist by any stretch, but really appreciate slender feet/toes. :) /weird
 
Euphoria - that nail p0rn is to die for!!! I recently joined Pinterest so I'm going to have at least one, if not several boards of nail art to try/what I've done.

I've been on another nail polish binge, which, surprisingly, did not include the Zoya Earth Day exchange - did anyone participate in that this year?

Ulta polishes are 2 for $4 this week. I'm hoping that green is a dupe for OPI Greenwich Village.

I've been on a Revlon kick too, and I picked up Royal, which I've heard is a dupe for RBL IKB:2012 that I posed earlier in this thread, plus quite a few others.

Here is Royal on:

Here are some photos of Nfu Oh #061 that I wore last week. This polish is amazing, I highly recommend purchasing it if you can find it.

Uh...oh yeah! I planted some flowers this weekend in some pots that I painted, and finally got real curtains in our bedroom (looking at you PI!!)

Just hoping I don't kill the poor flowers before May comes...:\

I've been thinking a lot about starting a nail polish blog...any suggestions of what to call it? Would you guys follow me?
