Cheerleader Look #10: I Need A Photographer

Any offers?

I'm bored of taking pictures of me posing like a Lame-O in my bedroom mirror.  I Need A Photographer.

I also need a new setting, new scenery.  As the weather has been absolutely stupendous recently, I thought I would take a few photos of my Lab outfit out on my balcony.  The view is lovely...however, my photography is not!  It's a lot harder to take pictures of yourself than I thought!

Balcony View

I look a bit disjointed...head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!

Head, Shoulders

Knees

Toes

Outfit: Vintage Leather Jacket - Sheer Pink Shirt (buttoned to the top) - My Fav High-Waisted Jeans - Orange Sandals

 

So, if you fancy yourself a photographer, please get in touch!  I need you now!

Some B**ch Broke My Nails!!!!!!!

This means War!  Although, I will have to wait till she gets her A** back into the country...yep, she's a coward and ran away before I had the chance to make her feel my wrath...^_~

Anyways, I'm getting by...managing with two horrifically mangled nails.

Cue the fakes (that's fake nails FYI).

What I Hate about fakes:

They never match your natural shape, no matter how carefully you file them.  There' something about the curvature, the thickness...it's just not as satisfying to paint and then ogle!  They are not true Nail Porn!

What I Love about fakes:

They cover up what some B**ch ruined!

Yeah...and I'm going to ruin her...face!

Let's put the anger aside though and go to the happy nail painting place.  After all the shaping and filing, I had a little bit of fun/polka dot madness (guess which are the fakes).

Take a look:

Black on Gold

I'm slightly Obsessed with Barry M Gold Foil Effects at the moment...it's shiny, it excites!

Fleur-de-Lis + Polka Dots

I'm a fan of alternating my designs - a Fleur-de-Lis here, a Fleur-de-Lis there, with a few polka dots and Gold tips!

Is that Mr. Vengeance I spot in the background?

Nails and Mr. Zacky Vengeance - the perfect combination!

I feel my anger subsiding...and a need to express my love for Mr. V a little more...

Old School A7X - So Young, So Metal...Sporting a bit of Nail Porn

Older, Wiser, Hotter

Nothing like ending a post with pictures of My Boyfriend...^_~...

Frollicking Like A Little Lamb in A Field

HELLO SPRING!  Long time no See!  Yes, I was talking about you a while back...you've taken your time...Oh how I've missed your excited, colourful, sweet smelling self!

Let's celebrate by watching some little frollicking lambs and some blooming plants:

To be young, playful and curious...(Representing for Napoleon Dynamite)...

Pretty, Pretty...ABCE Model (AP1/2/3+PI+AG)...BOOM!

If you didn't already know, I've already told the world what they should be wearing this Spring...if you're in doubt, check it out here.  However, I forgot to mention a key trend that, in my opinion, will always be "in" in Spring...

...Antique Lace.

I'm wearing a delicate lace slip dress, sans heels, i.e. barefoot (Flats are not an Option!), so I can dance in among the flowers and trees...although I stress this outfit is not bicycle/Lab friendly...actually, are any of my outfits? ^_^

And of course, everyone needs a flowery hair accessory complete with feathers...OTT much!

And there you have it!  I am the embodiment of Spring...

...Strike A Pose

Voguing Dahling

But let's not forget that Spring is about fun and frollicking...

Gettin' Nailed

Yes, I'm getting nailed!  In the Library...In the Lab...no matter where, it's on!

Let me show you how it's done...

Conjugate that Mother Fraker

That is a bottle of polish you spot...never be without your Mavala mini collection, I say!  On another note, one of my supervisors complimented my nails and even suggested that MEN should indulge in the occasional manicure!  I almost felt compelled to whip my Mavalas out!

But, what a legend...a biochemist, who appreciates good nails...not many of those about...^_^

Oxidate it like it's a gibberellin

Gettin' Nailed on my work station

Well, I can't brag about Gettin' Nailed on my work station without showing you how fantastic it is.  Yes, it's 27"...I'm a lucky girl ^_~

Cheerleader Look #9 - Too Kool 4 Skool

This Cheerleader look is solely dependent on some serious shades - Marc Jacobs Shades to be exact...yeah, 'cuz I be So-So Fly like that!

 So-So Fly...^_~.

Nails done, Hair done, Everything did

I seem to have gone from bright colours to funeral black...well, I like to keep those Science Geeks guessing...O_o

Maybe it's a little "Too Morose 4 Skool"...you know, a little too Wednesday Adams.

Darling Wednesday

Although, I hasten to add that Wednesday was my fashion icon when I was little.  That's what you get when you grow up in a graveyard.

But I helped my shades out by matching their fabulous-ness with a pair of printed wedges and some RoboTreasure!

Wedges + Geek Jewellery

What's Robotreasure, I hear you ask?  It's the epitome of awesome!  Here, I'm sporting a wee bracelet/anklet/necklace/whatever you want it to be, that my friend's brother handmade - what a craftsman!  He makes all sorts out of capacitors, microchips, and nuts and bolts...check out this geek-friendly fashion @ robotreasure.etsy.com store ^_^.

What would a Lab Bench Lady post be w/o a shot of my Legs?

 If you're wondering that you may have seen my heels before...well, you have...but in orange...

Rumour has it, when Britney Spears likes a certain style of underwear she buys it in as many different colours as she can get her hands on.  Well, I'm the same with shoes - if I like a style of heel I'll buy it in all possible colours.  A simple philosophy to follow, I think!

Big Thanks to Alex xXx

Multicoloured Haze all around...

There are many ways to  liven up a Lab...in a mist of brightly coloured visions...

Wedges:

The higher the stack, the better!

If only my carpet wasn't so beige

I instantly become 6 foot tall (Hello Long Legs!) but without the usual wobbliness when wearing stilettos.

Floral Explosion

NB...perhaps open toes are not the safest option in a Lab...The Lab Bench Lady suggests wearing some cute socks to protect your perfect pedicure from any DNA intercalating agents ^_^

Nails:

These are nude half moons.

Nude Half Moons

Apply a clear base coat and leave to dry.  Then place a circular sticker to the cuticle end of the nail and paint the whole nail with the colour of your choice.  I've gone for my favourite brand Mavala in Romantic (#299) with an accent nail in Barry M Instant Nail Effects Gold Foil Effects (#320).

Half way through the painting...

The Finished Manicure

Dip Dye:

I am the envy of tween girls everywhere...and NO!  I haven't slept with a member of One Direction (1D - for habitual Tumblr users).  I've just dip dyed my hair.

That involves me applying some semi-permanent hair dye (Directions - Lavender) to the ends of my hair in a haphazardly manner.

Colours are fun to experiment with whether on your nails, feet or hair but remember...

Not too bold, not too brash, but Nice, Different, Unusual...
