Teenage Dream.

Another OPI Katy Perry nail varnish. Now I've posted all the colours.

I love this colour; it's so girly and glittery.

Wilfi approves.

Perry Live, Part 2.

Sorry it's taken so long to post Part 2 of my Katy Perry post. I've been without the Internet for a week. It's been a very dark time...

But I'm back! :D

I used another one of my Katy Perry nail varnishes over the weekend - The One That Got Away.

Definately my favourite so far. It's such a lovely rich pink/ruby colour. So beautiful I didn't want to taint it by using the Black Shatter over the top.

So complete our look for the gig, me and my partner in crime Gatty wore cat ears - Katy Perry calls her fans her Katy Kats.

Gatty went one step further and sported a blue wig, a la...

Surprisingly, this got us a lot of attention. We were expecting everyone to be dressed up, which they were not.

We were photographed by Capital FM...

And by James Mollison for his Disciples series. Photo-montages that show 'different tribes of people that attended concerts, and how people emulated celebrity to form their identity.'

I was so excited to be a part of this, as I studied this series while I was at university. And would you believe I was telling Gatty about it on the way to the gig.

I am very proud to call myself a Disciple of Katy Perry. :D

 

I will post the photograph when it's put up.

Perry Live, Part 1.

Remember ages ago when I did a post about Katy Perry?

At the end of the post I mentioned I was going to see her live. Well that day finally arrived yesterday!

I've got so much to blog about concerning my day, that I'm going to break it up.

Firstly, there's her nail varnish. Being the dedicated fan I am, I obviously ordered her nail varnish in preparation for the gig.

 

Katy has five colours, created in partnership with OPI. Four are named after songs from her second album - (l-r) Teenage Dream, Not Like The Movies, Last Friday Night and The One That Got Away. The last colour is a top coat called Black Shatter.

I alternated between using Not Like the Movies (top right side) and Last Friday Night (top left side).

They didn't come out as strong as the bottles suggest, but lovely colours none the less. I'm going to experiment with using them as top coats as well.

I then added a coat of Black Shatter over the top.

This top coat is amazing. If you haven't seen it in action, I insist you do so now!

The results the Black Shatter give vary so dramatically depending on how much you use, and the way you use the brush.

As you can see from my two index fingers, very different results.

My friend Gatty used Teenage Dream, with Black Shatter over the top.

I'm looking forwards to wasting many hours playing with these lovely colours.
