Geek Faerie

Bean drawing session today with a new Discord group. Just a few doodles and sketches. Colored pencil in sketchbook.  Meeting this new group was a lot of fun. It's really good to connect with other artists and creative types. It's always inspiring to chat and share. 

What did you think about Gotham, Rise of the Villains: Worse than a Crime episode?  Let's discuss in the comments.

What did you think about The Flash: Legends of Today episode?  Let's discuss in the comments.

Yes yes yes, I know I know, I've been very lax about posting and keeping all my duckies updated on my whereabouts, purchases, hauls, and every day wear and tear.  I can assure that rumors of my demise were greatly exaggerated. <3 For those of you still following my blog I will be providing some content soon and getting back on track with posting regularly.  If I do get behind again please feel free to stalk, I mean follow me on social media. You can find me on Twitter  Facebook Tumblr Instagram YouTube Google+ Pinterest Loving all my duckies! <3

I was thinking last night about changing my name from Geek Faerie to Gossamer Geek.  Any thoughts from the internet?

Good morning, duckies!  What a lovely Friday Eve we are having don't you agree?  I did another Face Of The Day (FOTD) that I wanted to share with you all.  This time I had some fun with peacock colors for a punched up work look.  This look would also work well with glasses.  I think it turned out very nice don't you? What I used: the Balm's Balm Voyage palette, colors A2 (shimmery pink purple) and B2 (bright sky blue) Urban Decay's 24/7 eye liners in Asphyxia, Deep End, and Mars Make Up For Ever's Smoky Extravagant mascara NARS Deep Throat blush Urban Decay 24/7 lip pencil in Ozone Be a Bombshell Cosmetics lip gloss in Hot Mess and of course my foundation and primers: Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance, Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional Primer, Pixi Beauty Redness Reducing Primer, Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup, and Urban Decay Naked Ultra Definition Pressed Finishing Powder.

What TV show gets your Geek heart going?

Winter months can wreak havoc on our skin.  Are you a lotion queen, oil diva, or all natural princess?

The Night of the Doctor mini episode. Prequel to The Day of the Doctor. http :// youtu.be /- U3jrS - uhuo Are you excited yet?

Isn't Autumn lovely?  I just love all the colors nature brings and I love that holiday sets are hitting the cosmetic counters. Woo hoo!! So today I wanted some glitter for my mani. I laid down two coats of Julep Chloe. Dabbed a bit of Nailtini Millionaire at the base if my nails. Then I gently dabbed OPI Pink Yet Lavender all over my nail to fade the look. It took a bit of time since I had to place the large chunks of glitter for effect. I think they look better in person than on my phone. Are you feeling the Autumn sparkle?  Tell me all about it.

I decided to do a work appropriate Halloween mani today. I used Butter London Marrow and Julep Cleopatra. Marrow looks amazing with a matte finish if you want to change it up. Also Cleopatra is a latex finish thus the mega glossy shine. Do you have any work friendly NOTD to share?

I wanted to start prepping nail ideas for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire movie so I was toying with a Katniss/District 12 look. For this I used Zoya Storm, Chanel Dragon, Disney Villains Varnish Cruella De Vil, Illamasqua Whack, and China Glaze Riveting from last year's The Hunger Games collection. What do you think?  What District or Victor should I try next?

Your outfit is simply not complete without a bit of TARDIS, duckies.  Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics knows this and created Pond nail lacquer, a clever and creamy shade of TARDIS blue, prefect for any stylish Whovian.  The color applied perfect and was opaque in one coat.  I applied two here with Seche Vite on top. Part of their Sci-Fi Lullabies Collection complete with six lip tars and six nail lacquers to choose from.  Naturally I picked up Pond and Leelo.  Which colors are you getting?

Just got my hair done. We did a deep red shade that's fairly close to my natural color then added some edge with peekaboo purple highlights. I am in love with how it came out!

I love a good neutral shade of nail polish don't you?  There's something so classic and grown up about it.  I always feel more mature with neutral nails for some reason. So for today's NOTD we have two coats of Deborah Lippmann's Human Nature, a delicious shade of taupe from the True Blood Forsaken collection.  On top we have a thin coat of OPI's When Monkeys Fly.  Yes I put it on again. I can't help it I really love this glitter top coat! What do you think?  Does it scream business casual?

Doing my nails can be so cathartic at times.  I was watching the finale of Face/Off last night when I was inspired to do this. We start off with two coats of L'Oreal Rainy Piccadilly from the London Fall collection, it's a rich deep creamy blue that reminds me of the ocean at night.  On the thumb and index we have Revlon Celestial FX, a fine diamond multi glitter with moons, stars, and diamond pieces throughout.  This one takes some patience if you want the larger pieces on your nails.  The other fingers have my current fave OPI When Monkeys Fly, a chunky mix of medium multi glitter and gold hexagon pieces.  I just love this top coat, it makes everything look stunning.  I know some are mad cause the gold pieces tend to curl and not lay flat.  I just add an extra coat of clear to fix that myself. So what do you think?  Very stellar don't you agree?

I've recovered from my pink eyes but I'm still being overly cautious, no eye makeup and glasses this week.  In keeping with my bold lip trend I have another for you all.  Bare Escentuals Pretty Amazing Lip Color in Ambition, a full on punch of pink to knock away these winter doldrums. Just what the doctor order for cabin fever!

Can you believe we have snow in March?!  Me either.  So in honor of Spring not quite being here yet I did my nails for the occasion. Three thin coats of Butter London Dosh, a lovely bright green and three thin coats of Zoya Godiva, an elevated and elegant sugary nude. All topped with Seche Vite. I was pleasantly surprised that the top coat did not take away from Godiva at all. In fact I think it enhanced the color dramatically.  Don't you agree?

Can't go more than two days with the same nails.  I know I'm such Diva.  LOL  So today its China Glaze For Audrey topped with OPI When Monkeys Fly on the middle and ring fingers and Wet N Wild Spoiled Shaken Snow Globe on the other nails.  What do you think?
