Weekend of making Custom Studded Scene Clothing

so I've been working on generating new keywords for LBC Scene Kid Clothing website all this morning, it's been a long task, but I'm really glad this is done now. It's last day of the week which means I'm gonna have two days off :> Sweet, i will be relaxing in the garden, if the weather is nice... I got inspired by some old tulle I found in the accessories box this morning, it's quite colourful and stiff like the ones used for tutu skirts - it's 3 sheets of tulle in orange, purple and hot pink. They look absolutely amazing together and maybe I'll make few hair bows out of them during the weekend :) I'm in such a crafty mood lately, I'm thinking of getting studs and fabric glue and transform few of my Scene T shirts, Converse and Scene Jeans and apply spikes on the shoulders and pockets - that's really exciting >.< Have a nice wekend guise!

Casette Printed Skinnies Jeans and Little Inspiration Hunt

Some days when i've got one specific task to complete my inspiration is totally dead, i sit staring at the screen and trying to form the ideas into some original shape. On other days however, when I don't plan anything, the ideas just jump out of anywhere, perfectly formed and ready to go, like if I didn't have anything to do with the whole process :) I love this kind of spontanous work, it's more easy to digest, straightforward and inspiring :) 

This was the case with LBC Deal Hunting Squad, which worked well as email marketing campaign, but I should really sit and work on it to keep it live - which means to create more deals and upload them online :) 

Today I was working on completely different promotion, and I hope you're going to like it, it's brand new LBC Explorers Club, little place where you can discover unusual and quirky things about all the clothes available at LBC! For example the first item to go were Darkside Casette Tape Skinny Skinny Jeans - made from super thick industrial feel denim, with camouflaged back pockets ('hidden' pockets) and cute little Darkside logo stitched on the back with silver metallic thread. 

I absolutely adore these Casette Skinnies Jeans, the print is so unbelievably strong and bold, it will fix the whole outfit for you, just add simple black vest, sudded wristbands and layered chain necklaces - perfect for those sweet & rebel days :)

Best Alternative Hair Dyes - Rank of Top Three!

We've spent whole of this week going through the reviews of Alternative Hair Dye brands available on the market, and there's been few discoveries. We compared only few leading (and at the same time most accessible) hair dye brands. The final score / performance was based on how long the dye lasts on hair, how does it wash out / fade, how well does it work on non bleached hair and also what's the after care required in order to preserve the colour. Here come the results :)

1. In the first place hands down comes Special Effects. This 100% vegan friendly hair dye really impressed us with the vibrance of the colour and mainly how long does it stay looking radiant without fading. Basically Special Effects hair dye out-performed other brands by the fact that after few washes the colour doesn't just go flat and liveless, it changes of course with every wash, but instead of 'washing off' it transforms to different dimention shade, e.g from deep magenta to neon pink - impressive! The Special Effects hair dyes come in 118ml bottles, and 1 bottle should be enough for shoulder length hair. For longer hair it's better to get 2 bottles for peace of mind - and the best thing is you can keep the remaining dye securely sealed for 12 months, or mix it with conditioner and use it after every wash to preserve the original colour. Generally colour stays on hair from 6 weeks up to few months time. Score: 5/5

2.  In the second place comes Manic Panic. Also 100% vegan friendly with crazy selection of colours and few wicked ranges: Cream Hair Dye, Amplified Dye (both semi-permanent), Gel Dye and Dye Hard (the last two are temporary hair dyes meant to stay only 1 wash). Amplified dye range is more 3D raving crazy shade. Cream Hair dyes are more flat and not that electrifying. Gel Dyes are simply colouring hair gels that wash after 1 wash. Dye Hards additionally come in 3 shades: metallic, matte and neon. We recommend  Manic Panic for extreme change, if only for short time, yet for someone looking to try new shade just for fun. Manic Panic lets you play with their dyes and I love that about them. The shade of semi-permanent colour should last from 6 weeks to few months, with Atomic Pink being recommended as lasting the longest. Manic Panic also sell bleaching kits and other accessories. Score: 4/5


3. Third and final place goes to Directions. These semi-permanent hair dyes last about 6 - 8 weeks, it's semi-permanent dye with good selection of colours and accessible prices. The shades can be mixed together to create new unique shades (sweet!!!). Overall good choice, Score: 2/5

Other brands we compared:  Crazy Color, Star Gazer, Redken and L'oreal. Redken and L'oreal as being permanent hair dyes did not offer crazy deep vibrant unnatural shades, yet these are one of the best brands for deep black & red shades. Star Gazer was the biggest disappointment in our opinion, guys better up and hopefully will see you in top 3 next year!

How To Create Giraffe Nails?

I was having quite a busy morning today, with preparing new Offer for the Cupcake Land, uploading last of the Poizen Industries Hoodie Jackets and putting away the email marketing task for as long as possible... 

Typical day, when I came across this awesome Giraffe Nail image on Facebook, and I absolutely felt head over heels for it... It's really easy to do when you think about it, it's white base coat, one beige stripe along 4 nails with giraffe head on the thumb and also few brown spots, which can be irregular too! It's so effective, but doesn't require special skills, only thin nail art brush, so I thought I will create quick step by step guide How to Create these Giraffe Nails :) Hope you like it!

How to create Giraffe Nails:

you'll need: 

thin nail art brush

white nail polish as a base

3 shades of beige / brown nail polish (light beige, medium brown and dark brown) 

black nail polish to create Giraffe's nose and eyes (or simply use liquid eyeliner tip!) 

top coat nail polish (clear)

Steps:

First apply two coats of white nail polish and let it dry completely. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second coat. Two coats will give you better coverage too!

When the white nail polish is completely dry (test it by clasping two nails together - they shouldn't be sticky), you can start creating the giraffe's neck and head shape with the lightest beige nail polish. 

This part is really easy: simply create wide horizontal stripe across the 4 nails on which the neck shape will be. Leave bit of white area showing on top and bottom of the nails as in the photo. 

Next create the shape of the giraffe's head on the thumb, you can also add two ears!

Wait till this coat is completely dry too, before applying giraffe's spots with medium brown nail polish. Don't worry about the spots being irregular, the beauty is in the imperfection!

Simply take your nail art brush, tip it in the medium brown nail varnish and apply it over the beige coat. The spots can be round, oval, square, how you like it! 

Don't apply any of this colour to giraffe's head. Instead take the darkest brown and create giraffe's horns and jaw.

Now let it all dry completely. Grab the thin nail brush and apply the last of giraffe's feature: eyes and nose using black nail polish (or if you haven't got one simply use your liquid eyeliner!)

Ufff, you're done! It's really nice and easy to do! 

Also don't forget about the top coat to protect your nails from chipping! 

Now you're ready, complete the look with some cute giraffe print coat (New Look has them! - I'm a proud owner too), brown leggings, cream tank top and beige hoodie jacket! Have fun!

How To Give Your Tshirt Glam Punk Make Over?

Today I've been uploading new Poizen Industries Girl Tshirt online, and I've realised it has got pink cross stitch details at the bottom and by one sleeve - it makes such a huge difference, it just looks so wicked and punky, the simplest ideas are really the best!!! 

But you can do it yourself and give any of your old Tshirt bit of Glam Punk look! Take hot pink yarn and create 3 - 4 stitches along the seam - by the sleeves or at the bottom!!! Yes, 3 simple stitches can transform your old-boring tee into new wicked edgy top, and it takes few seconds - I'm gonna do that myself tomorrow :)))

Criminal Damage Vintage Tshirt with Lockets and Chains Print

 I'm nearly there... I have been uploading new stock online for the last few weeks, and it seemed like never ending story. Luckily now I begin to see the light by the end of a tunnel, ufff... 

I've started with new Punky Pins Jewellery UK, just to drop it after few days when new Poizen Industries collection arrived full of sweet Hoodie Jackets and Girl Tshirts! 

While I was putting new Panda T-shirts and Alice Hoodies online, Criminal Damage clothing have arrived yay :) I've decided that could be slightly more important, and the remaining Cupcake Scarf and Feather Wings by Poizen Industries could still wait few more days. 

So it was Criminal Damage turn! It was a wicked task, it's much bigger pleasure to write description of something that is so absolutely adorable and you would wear it yourself :) I loved writing description for new Criminal Damage Skinny Jeans with Pink Lace Details and Vintage Kitten Girl Tshirt with open top back :) Well, I have confession to make, I'm so crazy about open top back shirts lately, I think I might ask my  boss if I can get this Vintage Top myself :)

Anyway, what I'm hoping to do this week is to upload the rest of the Poizen Industries - Black and Pink Feather Wings, Cupcake Scarf and overknee slash socks, and when that's done I'm going to go back to Punky Pins again and finally put up all brand new Rainbow Necklace and cute Deer Necklace online - really can't wait to do it :)

"Scene Girls Killer Panda Heartcakes Hoodie Jacket"

Playing with Texture feature on Picnik today :)

Sometimes my posts are predicted and planned, like promo of Girls Tshirt that just arrived to Little Black Cherry or image of awesome outfit I've found on Polyvore, yet my favourite kind of blogging is uploading semi-random photo from my computer and writing about it, or about what I currently think, what's been puzzling me that particular day, or simply what I've done prior :) 

I've just discovered that new cartridge in the printer has nearly run out, although I have bought it barely in September last year... Normally it lasts about a year or so with what I'm using - printing orders, T and Cs, packet labels etc. etc. Nothing too extravagant. Yet it's run out after 5 months... I think it was the brand new logo I have placed on order despatch forms, that caused that. It looked amazing, yet it was completely black, with only white letters of our logo. It might be the case of that logo being printed with every order, that 'drank' out the ink from my poor cartridge. Therefore I've changed the logo on all orders to this one today - outerlined - designed by LBC work placement Abbie McBride - she designed so many kick ass designs for LBC, including Logos, Business Cards, promo products, and she had sweet ideas at the ready :) Thank you Abbie, hope you're keeping well xxx
