I played around with different nail polishes on my nail wheel to figure out what I wanted to wear to DragonCon.

I ended up going with BB Couture Blue Bahama for my toes.
For my tips I did Rimmel’s 615 Night Before on all my nails. On my ring finger for an accent color I put on Orly’s Galaxy Girl.


It looks REALLY awesome in person.
On that note, I’m very happy because I have a good friend watching our home and Phaedra while we go to DragonCon. I’ve got posts programmed for while I’m gone (I might have done a few swatches for you
). I’ll take plenty of pictures at D*C and post them when I come back.
Have a great holiday weekend!

I LOVE THIS! Beautiful look! Sylph is amazing! And Bane definitely completes this look!
The Peach recently shared..Zoya Kelly Toes of the Week
Thank you! I thought so too :>
Ug, now I’m trying to figure out what makeup to pack! I think Sylph & Bane are comin’ with.
I love this and you look anime with your hair like that! So adorable!
Yay thanks!
Man, you need to do a tutorial on how to use the spin pins! I want to make my hair look like that.

Have a great time at DragonCon.
Kimberly recently shared..Sweetified Swoonicated Sloppery Swatching
Will do! The short explanation is that I twist my hair into a bun, like normal, then holding the end of the hair, I start to twist the pin into the bun, making sure it hooks around the end that I’m holding. I twist through the center and voila!
Yes please! I just bought some, and I feel so dumb that I can’t make them work. I just cannot figure it out. T_T Maybe my hair isn’t long enough.
Heather / Eyeconic recently shared..Some rants- woo!
If your hair is any thicker than mine, you would probably need 2 pins per bun. You put in one pin like this | and the other pin — like that. So they sort of cross over to help hold your hair secure. I’ll try to do a video for you all once I get back.
I’ve been reading your blog for a while but don’t think I’ve said hello! I love your FOTDs/EOTDs! I discovered a couple new brands from your posts and enjoy your swatches. Love your creativity with your eyes! Have a good time at Dragon Con!

You look adorable!!!!!! Very, veeery cute.
Thanks LP :>
Was Dragon Con where you wore that kick ass jacket last time?!? I still remember it, and being uber jealous lol

You always look pretty in blue, Phyrra. :-}
I need to get some of those spin pins! I’m getting married in a couple of weeks and I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do with my hair!

Darcey recently shared..fotd 8-31
Yay I love blue
Do you want your hair up or down? Curly or straight? I wore my hair down and straight. Spin pins would make for a perfect updo
Lovely look! Have a great time at Dragon Con!

Thanks Sirvinya, I did

Serena recently shared..Blue Diagonal Nails
Aww thank you Serena!
You look adorable! Gotta check out the spin pins – when I attempt to get my hair into buns for falls it’s a disaster.
Yes you should! They’re awesome! I <3 them.
You look so pretty! Love the hair!
gio recently shared..Product Review- Deborah Eyeliner Precisione Waterproof
Thank you Gio!
Pretty! It’s bold colorwise, but together it looks so soft!!
I think so too, Therese!
Hi there! I’m pretty new to your blog, and to makeup in general. So far I love your looks, reviews, swatches, etc.! (And you are very pretty!) Based in part on your reviews, I’ve ordered a bunch of samples from Fyrinnae. I also definitely need to pick up some of those spin pins! (And nail wheels! I forgot those existed!)
I have a question, though I realize you’ve probably already left for DragonCon (have fun!), so I’ll have to wait until you get back for an answer.
(If any other readers want to reply, too, that would be great!)
Eye shadow primer: I’ve seen you use Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, and Concrete Minerals Primer. How do you decide which one to use with a given look? Do you recommend one over the other for someone new to makeup?
I really like Sobe Botanicals Primer, Detrivore Primer, Concrete Minerals Primer, and TFSI. I reach for TFSI more than anything else, though. UDPP used to crease on me, but UDPP Eden is ok. I LOVE the new tube that UDPP is finally coming out in.
Anyway, it depends on your price range, if you want to support Indie, etc.
Thanks! I ended up ordering a tube of TFSI.
Lucky! I would love to go to DragonCon. Have fun and can’t wait to see pics.
It was fun Rebecca! I always go for work.
This looks amazing! I love the colors. I’ve been plotting my Evil Shades order for a while now. I think I need to add these colors to it.
Yay thanks Kelly!
I love this colour combination, I think I may need to order Kharon and Sylph, they look amazing.
CucumPear recently shared..NotD – Sparkled Diagonal
Aww thanks! Definitely you do
Ooh, lucky girl! I wanna go to DragonCon so badly, but time and a half is pretty tempting, too. I hope you post a ton of pics when you get back! (P.S. I wish I could make my hair stay in little buns like that. At this point, I can say I’ve been quite literally trying for decades to no avail T_T.)
Tempest recently shared..Pretty Smart
Aww, the spin pins, I’m telling you! They hold it up!
I always want what you have on your lips..dammit. Gimmie gimmie.
Julissa recently shared..Give me courage
Heheh! Glad you like
Sylph is sooo great!!!
can you please tell me your hair color please?
it looks sooo blue, i want my hair blue too.
Sure, it’s Jerome Russel Punky color in Turquoise for the front, and Jerome Russel Punky Color in Midnite Blue for the rest of it.
Aw, you always look so adorable with buns in your hair! I love slyph too. I had to get two full jars.
I love the spin pins! I wish they came out a long time ago! I don’t know how I went without using them for buns.

Super cute look. I’m so glad I’m not the only one obsessed with Goody Spin Pins!
Hehe, most certainly not! I am!
How big are the spin pins?

GORGEOUS look! I love it!
Also, you went to Dragon*con?? -excited- I went too!
It was amazing, wasn’t it?
Yep, I love D*C. I go just about every year. I’m usually on a panel on the MMO track.
