Cute Pet Picture Friday
Okay so I know it's not Friday, but I thought I'd catch up on the cuteness instead of omiting it.
Here is my cutie cat Odin, Very relaxed on my/his office chair.

NOTD - OPI Ink!
So I am not usually a purple fan but lately my love of make up and nail polish have been making me attracted to all these colours I wouldn't have worn in the past.
Which is why I decided while at the nail salon getting my broken nails fixed that I would try OPI Ink.
This polish is from the Night Brights collection. I love My Private Jet from that collecton.
Ink is sort of a purpley blue-ish colour with a crazy pink shimmer.
It really looks very different in all different lights. I couldn't stop looking at my nails!
Sorry for the horrific iphone pics but even in this dodge picture above you can see the hints of pink shimmery goodness.
In the below picture it looks totally different, way more blue!
Try this out if you like shimmer, blue or purple. It's great.
Sorry for the iphone photography but I am trying to keep to my posting schedule even while my camera is broken. :(

Cute Pet Picture Friday
This cute little one-eyed boy is Odin. He is our new cat.
He is a seal point Himalayan. He had to have his eye cut out in December after he was dropped off at a shelter with a burst eye by people who couldn't afford to look after him.
We adopted him one week ago and he has already settled in amazingly.
He plays, eats, purrs and loves to sit on laps as well as sleeping right next to me in my bed.
His one downfall is his fish breath hahaha

Cute Pet Picture Friday
I thought that in an effort to get some routine in my life I would blog more as this inspired many thing downstream, thinking, writing, taking photos and documenting things I would probably not bother to and forget.
An easy one that inspired love and a tiny bit of creativity, PET PICTURES!!!!!
This is my cat Luci, she is a Persian X Himalayan, flame point, 3 years old and a big sook.
She loves to sit on stuff I need, so while I am bringing in my washing she feels the need to chill out in the basket.

You don't know the power of the dark side, I must obey my master.
...I had been meaning to do some posts about make up that doesn't get blogged about much and so when Ana a reader of Greys awesome blog asked for Yellow swatches I had to obey!
There was some discussion on Grey's blog about Inglot. I love Inglot and think they are totally unappreciated in the make up blog world so was happy to show some swatches of their stuff compared to other yellows.
So below you will find some yellow swatches and a bit about the products.
So the pressed shadows are over TFSS and the loose are over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy.
The colours in the swatches are:
Pressed shadows:
Sugarpill - Buttercupcake
Inglot- AMC eyeshadow - #60 (this is the pressed eyeshadow)
The Make Up Store -Cybershadow - Ra
Loose Shadows:
HiFi Cosmetics - Rise to fame
Inglot - AMC Pure Pigment - #29
Ben Nye - pigment - Sun Yellow
Shiro Cosmetics - Weepinbell
Spectrum Cosmetics(the one on etsy) - Submarine
A bit about them:
Well originally Ana posted that she wanted a yellow off with Mac, Inglot and Sugarpill.
I don't have any Mac yellows and I think that Make Up Store is not represented enough on the blog scene, they are great! So I threw in Ra cybershadow and some other yellows I had lying around.
Sugarpill - Buttercupcake: What can you say about it? It is SO yellow. Matte-ish with tiny tiny sparkle. This goes on amazing even without primer.
Inglot- AMC eyeshadow - #60: This again is just very yellow but in the container is looks like it has more sparkle to it by a long way. This sparkle doesn't really come out on your skin at all.
I have to use a good primer or base to get this colour out without looking sheer and is it not nearly as blend able as Sugarpill or Make up Store, I put this down to it's sheerness. I guess it's not as pigmented as it seems, would be good if you wanted a subtle yellow but not a light yellow.
The Make Up Store -Cybershadow - Ra: If this was food I would eat it for every meal! Really this is as good as Sugarpill and sugarpill is as good as this one. The only difference is that Ra is way more shimmery. SO blendalicious and yellow and strong *luv*
HiFi Cosmetics - Rise to fame: I threw this one is as it was a cool yellow I had. It is slightly lighter and cooler than the other three above and very very shimmery/sparkly, I think it would go great in a chartreuse / green look. It is very strong over PE and blends well.
Inglot - AMC Pure Pigment - #29: Over PE this is like a yellow punch in your face. I love it. It's very true yellow, very shimmery and very very pigmented.
Ben Nye - pigment - Sun Yellow: Everyone knows these pigments are good and plain and what they say they are really. This is a plain sun yellow very strong pigment, works well with PE.
Shiro Cosmetics - Weepinbell: I threw this one in because it's new and I am excited about it.
I love Pokemon. (Remember when that weepinbell kept eating James head?!)
This is a light cool yellow that would probably go awesome with the HiFi shadow or any green look. Very shimmery nomnomnom!
Spectrum Cosmetics(the one on etsy) - Submarine: This is so yellow that sometimes when I put it on it looks more of a cool colour some how, I'm not sure how that happens. It's a plain matte yellow loose shadow. The Payoff over PE is so different to just normal base. You must use PE with this!
For a pure yellow pressed shadow I would have to vote for Buttercupcake or Ra, depending on what level of shimmer you want.
Here they are in the containers
(top, left to right) Inglot #60, Sugarpill Buttercupcake, Shiro Weepinbell.
(bottom, left to right) Make Up Store Ra, Inglot #29, Ben Nye Sun Yellow, Spectrum Submarine.
oops I left out Rise to Fame sorry!

Proud of my babies in the Cyber Monday Sale
My etsy Store Ordo Atra Serpentis is having a cyber monday sale, 30% off everything.
It's been going pretty well, mostly selling Moleskines. I am pretty proud as I have really stuck to the theme and beliefs behind this store, making what I loved and not really compromising on that. It's very satisfying to see other people are loving them as well so I thought I would post a few of my faves.
Goatish - Large Moleskine
Chaotic Ouroborus Small Moleskine
Anatomiee Tentacular Extra Large Moleskine

Lava Nails
This year has been the first year I have had acrylic nails. I have naturally long and strong nails but acrylic nails keep polish on so much better, and I love polish.
Nothing pleases me more then knitting and looking at my cool nails. Also if you knit in public (like I do) people are always looking at your hands so why not make them look great?
Red and Orange are my fav colours (apart from black..duh) So I so excited when I found out my nail salon have this cool crackle nail polish.
I originally had it done with darkish red (OPI St petersburgandy) but it was too dark.
So this time I used Colour Club fluro orange underneath :)
