Little tiny wish came true

Saw these bottles in Spring while flipping through the pages of this mighty internet. Immediately wanted them. Even asked the local (and closest) make-up department if they'll get them later on. Maybe, probably, they said. But there hasn't been even the smallest sight yet! So I figured they'll never arrive... *sigh*

Couple of days ago searched all things related to ballet in the Finnish version of ebay (huuto.net) and found them! Yay! :) Paid maybe a bit more than via some web store, but who cares. The package arrived this morning and already tried the glittery stuff. Looooovely! Of course there are 2 bottles yet to maybe purchase, but even if I never get my hands on them, I'm happy :)

The names are just so fun and enchanting - My Pointe Exactly / Don't Touch My Tutu! / Care To Danse? / Pirouette My Whistle. The ones I'm still "missing" are as fascinating as these: Barre My Soul / You Callin' Me A Lyre?

The dress, Aztec and ugly toes

The wedding on Saturday (continued till Sunday afternoon) was just Lovely. Good music, wonderful people, loads of Love. My legs/feet were so tired on Monday that after thinking loooooong about it, I didn't go to class in the evening. (Also had some other health issues, but everything's okay now.) Do regret it now, but not So much. And tomorrow I'll definitely go!

(Got to love picmonkey... ;)) These 2 were So Cute :)

Me and the dress before leaving home :)

Yesterday evening I decided to put on some nailpolish on my toes, as I didn't have time to do it on Saturday morning. Picked up a bottle that I fell in love with already in Spring, but bought just a week ago. It's from this funny little (chain) shop called Accessorize, they have an online store also. The color isn't just one, it's many! Blue, green, gold and bronze, purple, pink... Everything in between. The photos from my toes don't look so amazing (awful to be exact), but the bottle gives a little bit better idea.

Not ideal toes for pointe shoes...

Love the diversity!

So, my toes are READY to dance!

Ballet slippers and Tiara!

Slippers I've been wearing regularly also this summer, every Monday and Wednesday, but tiara? Not once. Except this week 24/7! :D

The feathers are part of a cat toy :)

I've been adding (again) some color to my dance classes also. I've had a pink day, bright red one, purple (with some black), orange... :) Green one is about to emerge, have to do some laundry first. 

And Finally a pair of soft slippers is about to meet it's end! And of course it's the one that's been my absolute favorite by far (Sansha Pro1). I've decided not to buy new ones, as there are some waiting already (not exactly the same, though). But new pointe shoes I have to, since none of the current ones work for my feet anymore. I'm dreaming (of a white Christmas but also) of Gaynors. They might be the answer to my very different feet (left one bigger). Or not. The first thing is to book an appointment with the fitter. Don't know when I'm able to do that. And when they are available at Footlight's. Make a call, one must.

p.s. For today's class I'm gonna wear the red stuff again, it was fun! :) And today it's been raining at last, so it might be possible to breath in our studio (Monday it was extreme, I tell you). 

Shine of the past week

No ballet in this post. Instead, a photo of my hand and the foot of my flute! :D Tried on 5 different shades of the same nail polish, also one glittery kind on 2 fingers. Well, I'll put 2 photos so you'll get a small idea. (My hands aren't that pretty, nor my nails that long, but they are fine for me and my flute playing.) (Also I took the photos after wearing the polish for over a week, so it's very worn out...)

The funny glitter-stuff was a very cheap purchase from H&M, a set of 3 small bottles (3,95 euros). I like it! :)                   The "dotts" are in different sizes.

p.s. I have taken 2 classes of ballet during the weekend, but at the moment feel to tired to write about them. Maybe tomorrow.

More Colors - this time it's nails

Today my flute pupils said: Hey you've got watermelon nails! :D Maybe so... I did try on some green stuff on Monday & yesterday. But only for testing and having a bit of fun, not to make any super fine art. So, here's some grrrreeeeeeeen for people! After all, Spring is coming. Quite soon.

Had to put 3 layers of this nail polish to have Any color... And the stuff look quite dark in the bottle. Blah. (See the glitter? No? Neither do I.)

Ha! I've got 2 graffiti polishes, tried them both. Result -> watermelon nails! :D

First finger has already graffiti on it, but the other 3 don't. A blueish/turqoise polish, with a matt effect. And only ONE layer covers that much, such a difference to the first green one. Yup.

Turqoise nails with the two different graffitis. (Please ignore my awful cuticles :DDD)

Some Black, White and Purple for you. Here's latest pose of Viuhti, Her Royal Highness.
