`*:;,.★Sparkling Summer Nails☆・:.,;*

I love glittery sparkling nails in fresh colors! My current favorite style is the 'airbrushed' 2 colored sparkling nails as you can see hehe. It's really easy to makes your nails look colorful ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

Here's a quick tutorial to how you make them!
This is for the green sparkling nails

Here's what I used:
1. Nail hardener (optional), 2. Base coat (optional), 3. Light green polish, 4. Dark turquise polish, 5. Glitter polish, 6. Top coat, 7. Sponge (on next picture)


  1. Start with the adding the base coat to protect your nails!
  2. Use a sponge to add the nail polish. You can use makeup sponges or whatever you like. I used a disposable wipe cloth and folded it.
  3. Add a bit of nail polish to the sponge (I just used the brush from the nail polish to pad a bit on the sponge. Some people pour a bit of nail polish out in a pool and dip the sponge in. Do whatever you like)
  4. Pad the nail polish gently on your nail. Concentrate the most towards the middle of the nail and 'fade' it by padding with a no-polish-part of the sponge.
  5. When the first polish have dried, add the second color the same way as the first. You can use the nail polish brush on the tips of you nails to make it more concentrated afterwards if the sponge couldn't cover it all.
  6. When the polish has dried, add the glitter polish on top. Finish of with a layer of top coat.
And that's it! If you wish for two colored like the blue and purple design I made, just add the first layer of nail polish regularly with the polish brush and them use the sponge to add the second polish  (`・ω・´)

Hope you liked the tutorial!

 Here's a few shots I took in my neighborhood some weeks ago! Love all the colors that come with spring and summer!

Thanks for looking~♫

Spring Zebra [makeup look]


Woo haven't updated in a long time!

I updated my layout a bit as you might notice. I'm not so cool with making layouts, so I try to keep it a bit simple ヽ(ー_ー )ノ

I haven't been doing nothing! So to prove that; here is a little makeup look I made some time ago + some simple nails I made as well! (ノ*゜▽゜*)


Colorful Zebra theme 

Not really sure what to call it. But hope you like (∩_∩)

I made a small tutorial for this as well, I might post it another time if anyone would like it.

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Aside from that, I've been busy with the usual + planning an annual Vietnamese cultural event I've been hosting with some friends (the third time now!). I designed the Vietnamese dresses ao dai for the fashion show that's going to take place at the evening. I'm trying to come up with ideas for makeup, hair and accessories all while preparing for exams as well phew. Well the event will take place in two weeks time, so I'll hopefully get to post about that afterwards (◕‿◕✿)

I hope I'll get time to make more creative stuffz... I've been drawing as well, my latest portrait is Koda Kumi~♥


That's it for now. I don't wanna fill you in on all the boring stuff  ヘ(。□°)ヘ

I noticed I recently got over 200 followers! ヾ(@^∇^@)ノ I'm very grateful! Thanks a lot for all the support! I'll try my best to keep this blog alive and hopefully a bit colorful and interesting  ヾ(´▽`;)ゝ

And to end this post: Here's a lovely remix of Sen to Chihiro/Spririted Away I've been listening to..♫

Sparkling Fallen ☆

I cut my bangs...............!



And I'm not all sure how I like it yet lol....

I went to yet another live the other day (isthattheonlythingyouaredoinginJapan!?), but I'm not gonna spam you with too many pictures this time.. since the lightning at the place was pretty bad as well, so most of the pictures turned out quite.... bad.... (so I'm gonna put some camwhore pics up instead lol)

You know the feeling when you REALLY look forward for something and you feel like a little kid again going to Disneyland for the first time?? (or s.t. similar) And you have been soo excited the days up until the day, and then when the day finally comes it's turns out to be the biggest disappoint ever??

Yes yes that was actually a bit like how that day turned out, but I'm not gonna go into details.. I kinda just felt like someone slapped me in the face and make me wake up from my little fantasy dream.. ;_; Though I should have known that nothing is as perfect as you think it to be and happy endings just don't always come true!!

I'm gonna stop my negative emo ramble now sorry. I just needed to let it out a bit haaaaah......
I did my nails the other day~
Not all perfect but I really liked the outcome and the colors together.. and soo kirakira sparkling yay~♫

But I wished I had time to take an outfit picture 'cause for once I really planned my outfit and really liked the outcome >n< Waaah.. what a fail day lol.....

But nothing SHOPPING can't save a bit!! The next day i met up with a friend and we went to 109 to do some shopping♫ I didn't get much since I'm still saving for a bigger shopping with Maria when she comes next week ^o^/

I'll show you my gets another time~

Btw if anyone is interested, I updated my deviantART account. Please feel free to check it out, and if you have deviant too, please add me!! ヾ(^∇^)

Japan inspires me a lot to be more creative, and I even picked up drawing again. It feels great, I must admit ♥ And I guess the fail day the other day made me realize that I should just stick to doing what I'm 'best' at.. When you don't know what to do, do what you can do~

I didn't plan this update to be so confusing sorry!! XD I promise next update will be more focused haha!

And thanks a lot for the comments on the past update!!! I'm glad you like the photos, it means a lot!!

F-bar 。*。”。* ☆

Stands for ___________ ???? 

Lol this weekend me and my roommate went downtown Roppongi for some serious drinking business! Or well coincidently it ended up like that ヾ(´▽`*;)ゝ"

The whole day had been really quiet as the only thing we did that day was going out buying some groceries. We discussed whether we should go out or not (originally I planned a really bad late-note housewarming, so only 1 person was attending XD lol..) but my roomies can be pretty lazy!! Haha all they are talking about is to chill this chill that.. though it is pretty.. chill (●^皿^●)

Anyway, Juni said he had a friend from Denmark that was going to a club somewhere in Roppongi. And since he is working as a model he might be able to get us in for free (those guys get like everything for free here lol.. envious much!!). So as gipsy-style as me and juni are we decided to go!
But as lazy as we are as well.. I was really bored while waiting for heading out that I fell asleep. I thought I had plenty of time to get ready. I was wrong. XD 

Well I woke up, still bored, still thinking I had plenty of time, so I decided to curl my extensions and took a good deal of time doing my hair. And then suddenly Juni comes back from the conbini (Jap convenience store) and tells me it's raining outside...... and then I look at my very big curly hair....... wow never have I wasted so much time on doing my hair for nothing... lol 
Well the rain didn't stop us and we still decided to head out! Juni then gets a call from his model friend and tells him time and meeting place. I'm calculating we had to leave at 9:00pm to be there on time, and then realizes it's 9 already.. (,,#゚Д゚)
I don't think I ever did my makeup THAT fast for a party. it took me 15 min and turned out pretty bad.. oh well XD 
And yeah the weather and humidity ruined my hair the second I stepped outside regardless of the many liters of hairspray I used........... Looks like I didn't do ANY styling to my hair at all! I gotta admit the power of nature is gruesome (ι´Д`)ノ lol I regret I didn't have enough time to take a picture before my hair died (  ゚,_ゝ゚)

The day before I did some nails for the first time that I decided to wear!
I think it's the longest nails I've tried so far. When looking at the pictures now they don't look as long as they feel XD Or maybe I'm just a noob lol... Well I think they turned out pretty well for a first time try AND without any proper gear to do the nails.. In the rush of getting out, I just tucked the nails into a case and then down in my bag and put them on in the train (*。_。)

And random crappy quality pic of me and juni XD

Well a bit late we thought, we met up with Juni's friend and some other models. Well apparently the host himself decided that he couldn't be there on time so we were the only people TOO early and the first people arriving at the club as well........ (~-~;)ヾ(-_-;)

When we arrived at the club we figured out that the F in F-bar apparently stood for FASHION bar..... XDDDDDD looool wtf.... And ladies entrance was free but guys had to pay 3,500yen!?! The models got in for free since they had some special cards for models, but poor juni had to pay the high entrance fee. Luckily we got to sit with the models (crime riders) and got free booze and drink tickets haha.. So Juni (gipsy style as always) decided to earn his money 'back' in free alcohol. Which of course ends up as you'd predict XD Well since everything was free we both got pretty drunk... The place was filled with half foreigners half Japanese. I felt strangely alien though sitting with all the European models being the only Asian looking person though I'm European ._. Your appearance is all that counts here!! The other day while I was talking Danish with my friend, and old man even thought I was Japanese learning a foreign language and praised me for my fluency!! WTF HAHA!! 

F-bar was pretty fashionable but VERY creepy at the same time. I was actually freaked out a lot. They had some pretty creepy staff!!! Seriously.. There were two girls in burlesque outfits with DAMN CREEPY CHUCKY MASKS!! There was a net in the ceiling where one of the girls was just lying as a dead doll glaring down on the people, and the other girls sat on the bar in a big chair.. But that was not the worst.. Their was a midgit... literally midgit guy in CLOWN get-up wearing a ripped bloody ICE HOCKEY mask... I was about to run screaming out of the place if not for the free alcohol AND being kinda drunk (;_・)

Oh well the rest of the night was pretty fun with a lot of dancing and stuff.. We went home around 4am to catch the first train, and really.. it must have been the longest trip home ever! It took 1½ hour and we were more than wasted... I wish we lived closer to central Tokyo at times like those!!
And apparently a picture ended up on facebook of me and Juni's friend Daniel XD

And here's the website for the bar if anyone should wish to dance with chucky girls and killer midgits:

Yup that was a very.. interesting experience! But who would say NO to free drinks? I still can't believe I didn't pay a single penny for that night.. wow I feel so cheap haha! Lucky to have connections.. or friends with connections.. or friend's friends with ok you get it XD NETWORKING!

Long night it was.. As long as this entry!! (*・∀<*)

Purple Stars *nails*

Hello pretties~ ♥
I wanted to do my nails and got inspired by Bubz' Starry Night Nails tutorial that my lil' sis showed me ^_~
I don't think I've ever done any *serious* art thingie with my nails, so thought I'd give it a try. And this style was really easy! I just wished my nails were a bit longer and that I had some transparent polish with glitter like she used in the vid. But I tried with what I got, and I really like the result ♥ (o^−^o)
So this was what I used. 
  • I started with the white Snow from GOSH to brighten the nails and make them look cleaner ^^ 
  • Then I used the purple polish Blackberry Mash from Pieces and put some polish on a sponge and dabbed in on the tips of my nails. 
  • Thereafter I used the darker purple Lincoln Park After Dark from OPI and dabbed it a bit further out on the tips to create the gradient look. 
  • And then I finished off with the Merry Midnight from OPI purple glitter and dabbed that on with the sponge as well.
It's not the same soft gradient flow as in the video, but I kinda like the 'spray' like effect my sponge made.
I'll definitely do this more often in the future as it's simple and looks more interesting than just putting on regular nail polish. I might as well try it with nail tips some day with more accessories like rhinestones and stuff ヽ(*’-^*)。

Hope you liked σ(゚ー^*)

Sakura matsuri

me and Mari-chan!
This weekend it was time for Copenhagen Sakura Festival! I've been looking forward for this since last year's festival haha! Last year was sooo cold and the sakura flowers hadn't blossomed yet. This year the weather was really warm and nice, but the sakura flowers had already fallen of the trees! It was still a very nice weekend though (o^−^o)

Mari-chan had been staying at my place from friday where we made onigiris for saturday. Sadly I forgot to take pictures, they were so cute! Especially the flower and heart shaped ones! Saturday morning my little dormitory room got crowded as my little sister, cousin and classmate Line came to get ready and dressed in yukata! After getting ready we headed towards the park where the festival was located (at the little Mermaid actually!)

My look was inspired from Pop Sister's February issue that was focusing on kimono (○゚ε^○)

I'll let the picture spam tell the rest ゚+.(・∀・).+゚

Me and my little sister! (∩_∩)/
Full yukata picture
Me, Mari-chan and Rose-onee
I bought Calpis and Ramune for my sis and cousin so they could taste.. And they got so excited about it XD
Very windy near the coast.. and the Little Mermaid (flocked by tourists)!

.。.:*・゚Sunday*・゚。:.*
Kenneth, Jeongie and Maria!
Me and Mari-chan~
 I wore the very first yukata I got this day (from friends incl. Mari-chan)
Close-up of nails! They are so long, so I feel slightly handicapped ^^' Especially when typing text messages or on the computer! And they are pre-made ;P

Thanks to Kenneth going camera crazy, I made this little gif XD with Maria lolling in the BG!
Thanks for reading!
