Pink & Red does not go together?

Vista, Finesmith EMOtions 001a

There are these days where you feel the little rebel inside you… Many times you get told you cannot do this, you cannot fo that, that does not work, this will never go together and if you have one of those little rebel days you just need to prove them all wrong even by doing mistakes sometimes that you will never admit :p .

Today there was such a day and when I was looking through my inventory more and more the idea of a pink and red styling was growing in my mind.

I anyways wanted to blog the new “AV Straight Leather Jeans” from Vista, so I started out with them, after I saw this fantastic red tone in the HUD. The Jeans come in various versions in different length. Usually you have the problem, that if you would like to wear some cool shoes with mesh pants, you always run into trouble, that they just eat up the shoes or you get some weird flickering if you try to add boots over the pants. With the “AV Straight Leather Jeans” those times are over. 5 different length of the pants make it possible that you can experiment with different shoes or boots. For today’s post I decided to go with the number 2 version, as I found the cool and as well funny “Abdomination Bitey Meaty Boots” from Curio Obscura and the number 2 was the perfect one for the half-long boots.

Dressed with pants and boots.. maybe a little too less :p . What to wear for the top… ? I was sure I wanted to use one of the latest releases from Finesmith, the “Iris” set, but what to wear as a basic as I did not wanna go half-naked. It should be something soft, which does not overload the upper part of the body with the “Iris” set, plus I wanted to have a very soft pink to bring back the baby pink of the “Abdomination Bitey Meaty Boots”. The “Valerie Blouse” from LeeZu was the perfect choice. With the delicate and super amazing detailed texture and the awesome soft pink color it makes a great base for the jewelry.

Because the jewelry had such an amazing and huge headpiece and I was wearing the jeans, which give the whole out fit kinda a cool touch, I wanted to wear some really short, fresh and modern hair. The “Cameron” hair style from EMO-tions exactly looked how I wanted it to for this look.
The reason why I used the grey tone for the hair was, that I wanted to repeat the metal color of the jewelry.

Now the look itself was done but I still missed the little i-dot. Then all of a sudden I remembered the “”Skeletonia” hand jewelry from Formanails. This idea of the skeleton hand wrapped over the avatar hand is something that has a little story to it. Back then before we had Slink hands I always was looking about something new and crazy for accessories. At Formanails I found a skeleton hand, made of prims that covered the back of the hand inspired by Madonna. I was wearing that hand jewelry in forever and ever so often that I nearly cannot count it anymore and I never found something similar. After i upgraded my avatar with the Slink hands I really missed this accessory badly. When I talked the last time to Ivi Bing, owner and designer of Formanails, I told her, that I discovered her store over that wonderful hand accessory years ago, that I really miss it so much with the Slink hands and all of a sudden she sent me over 3 versions of the “Skeletonia”. She made it for 2 different versions of the Slink hands – casual, elegant and elgant1. This so made my day! I have my skeleton hand jewel back in an updated version with a HUD that lets you change the colors of the gems and some more little details like the safety pins and barbwire parts. Thank you Ivi!

And now… Pink & Red does not go together?

Lybra & Finesmith 002

Sometimes you do not really know what you wanna style, or what you wanna wear and then you maybe just start with the basic idea of the color. Today I was in a black & white mood.

For the base I took the amazing “Tigress Gown” by Lybra. Lybra made this for the Tiger Alley event at SAVIAD. The imagination of a white tiger is not to deny ;). The long tight shape of the mesh dress, that opens towards the floor, with its tiger looking top and the more black wider bottom was the perfect start to create one of my very own looks 😉 .  If you put on a dress you have various possibilities how to style it. You can go for the elegant and pretty look, or you can go a bit more couture or wild. For today I had no particular style in mind and just followed my feelings. The jewelry I took from the “Amit” of Finesmith. Usually the set comes with a black short leather dress but the jewelry itself was so perfect to the “Tigress Gown” from Lybra, so I decided to just mix those 2 😉 The wonderful head piece with the flower heads wich were repeated at the bracelet and the chest part give some kind of a spring feeling even if they are black. The petals that run down over the face for me give a lightly mystic or dreamy looking attitude to the whole look.

Now the whole look became  bit too elegant for my actual mood and I remembered the amazing “Gacha Horns” that I got from a gacha at the Arcade. Those made the perfect contrast to the basic elegant look 😉 .

The amazing necklace as well was made for a gacha with a lot of different colors. Natzuka made those and as well some wonderful spring looking rings for her gachas at the SAVIAD Spring Fair.

And now please take  look at those evil long and sharp nails… aren’t they just cool?

They are made by Formanails. Formanails started to make nails for the Slink hands not too long ago and I already had a special about them. Ivi Bing keeps herself busy and brings more and more amazing designs. The latest ones are the “XXL” nails. With an inbuilt menu you can change the textures on them by touch and I really was happy when I found a black and white one that was just perfect for my todays look 🙂

Rings and jewelry for Slink mesh hands… Formanails did it!

(**{FORMANAILS}**For Slink Hand – CASUAL-Nail Form STILETTO)

Lately Ivi Bing, owner and designer of Formanails IMed me and told me she made some new nails, rings and accessories for the Slink mesh hands. This was something I really missed so far! Since I have my mesh hands I do not wanna miss them anymore. you can find all kind of nail polish out there for the Slink hands nail appliers, but actual prim nails or jewelry not that much, especially not with accessories to them. So I would like to make a little spotlight for some of those amazing creations. There are so many more and some really amazing nail polishes for the Slink appliers as well at the Formanails Mainstore, but for today there will be some of the for me most exciting and extra ordinary sets 😉

For the styling I tried to keep as much the same to not drag any attention from the nails, but as well I wanted some amazing ‘base’ for the picture. So I used the “Amita” hairstyle and the “Elbensoul” jewelry set from EMO-tions.

The “Form Oval” nails are mid long prim nails with a sharp top end. Via a menu you can change between different nail designs. To wear the nails correctly you need to resize your avatar hands to zero otherwise the nails and accessories go out of place. The Slink mesh hands actually react on the avatar hand size so the hands get smaller if you feel your hands are too small like it was for me you can try to wear a bigger size of the Slink mesh hands. I changed from XS to L ;). For now you only will find most of the prim work for the Slink hands for the casual and the elegant version of the hands, wich are the most used ones anyway. Just make sure, you have the right hand style when you buy some of the new designs ;).

(**{FORMANAILS}**For Slink Hand – CASUAL-Design-SNAKE Gold – R)

The snake is another amazing creation of Ivi Bing . The snake is wrapped around your right hand and crawls kinda up to your fingers. With the inbuilt menu you can change all the gemstones that decorate the snake body as well as the eyes. For the nails I used no prim nails but one of the amazing polish sets that you can find at Formanails too. The detail and amazing ideas that Formanails even put in their Slink nail polish appliers is just amazing. For this picture I used one of the styles of the Nailart 6 set.

(**{FORMANAILS}**For Slink Hand – CASUAL-Design-LOVE SILVER)

Now we come to one of the more busy hand jewelry. All the rings you can see, are part of the “Love Silver” set. This set is available in gold and silver and with all the amazing little rings and accessories it is just an art piece itself. For the nail polish I decided to go with one of the styles out off the Nailart 3 polish set of Formanails.

(**{FORMANAILS}**For Slink Hand – CASUAL-Design-JAPAN NAILS+RINGS)

Now, the “Japan” nails and rings are one of my 2 personal favourites … even if I love all and would not wanna miss one of them :p .

When I looked on those sets the first time I just thought I cannot believe my eyes. This super awesome and mega detailed nails and rings are really caught my heart. Just imagine how long it takes to bring a whole sushi with all its parts on nails… simply stunning. If you ever looked for something unique and extraordinary for your nails, the Japan nails and rings sets would be the catch! Every nail is decorated and inspired by a certain kind of sushi and the rings just are the matching table to them… really for me a master piece of nail art from a genius and innovative designer!

(**{FORMANAILS}**For Slink Hand – CASUAL-Design-ORIENT)

The “Orient” set is something I would immediately wear in RL. I have something that looks very close in RL made by the Navajo indians. I love the way how the jewelry parts cover the hand and are just held by a ring that goes over the middle finger. I have no clue what else I could say about those amazing new and innovative art pieces that make your Slink mesh hands to something special. Thank you Ivi for making it possible to wear interesting nails and rings for the Slink hands!

There is way more new releases since Ivi really is busy designing new stuff and I guess in the moment I finish my post she will have again stunning new ones 😉 If you wanna make sure you do not miss any new release better watch out and hop over to the Formanails Mainstore.
