Like an alchemist in his lair...

I mixed up a couple colours I'd had sitting around.

The first one is a christmas tree inspired green with a tonne of holographic gold glitter and a smattering of stars and hexes and dots to represent baubles and decorations.

Oh Xmas tree is a medium green with a bit of texture from the glitters.

Another colour that I wanted to make, I had to play around with a bit.
It was meant to be a pale blue/mint colour with a duochrome shift and matching glitters, but it kinda... didn't.

It ended up chunky, and way more textured than I wanted.  And the more I played with it, the gluggier it got.

After thinning and reformulating, it works a little better.

Failtastic is a blue/green/purple colour with matching glitters.

This is what happens to labels when you try to clean the bottles after spilling base.

At least the aftermath looks pretty.

Oh Xmas Tree and the mini & large versions of Failtastic are available on my facebook page.

365 days of colour: day 30

Day 30.

I used one of my favourite collections for the main colour.  

Etude House - Lemon? Pineapple? 
Accent: OlliePop & Luci - Heartbreaker

The accent is a polish from my Valentines collection.  A jawbreaker coloured polish with neon hearts, squares and hexes.

Pale/pastel colours never apply properly on me.  

OlliePop & Luci: New Arrivals!!

Guess what!

My first shipment of Fold Over Elastic (FOE) arrived so I've been a busy little beaver making hairties for the store.

FOE is perfect for hairties and other accessories because it won't get tangled in the hair, is comfortable to wear on the wrist, and won't break when its stretched.

10 Colours (so far!)
- Cream
- Black
- Neon Pink
- Neon Green
- Pumpkin Orange
- Red
- Baby Blue
- Pastel Yellow
- Violet 
- Silver

I've tied them in two ways - the traditional knot tie, and a bow knot.

Bow Knot 

I'll be selling them on the site soon - if you want them plain, I can do that now, otherwise in a couple weeks I have small silver charms coming to attach to the knots - gives them a bit of interest if you wear them on your wrist or in your hair.

4 for $2 (plain), 4 for $2.50 (with charms).

I can't wait to order more elastic!  

365 days of colour: Day 16

365 Days of Colour: Day 15

Friday was bowling day, so I waited to do days 15 and 16.  

I went with the lovely people from Rooster Sheep, a group for NZ fans of Rooster Teeth (the Austin production company who do a tonne of internet/youtube stuff).  

We'll start with the Red Team.
