All new Toxin... All new Toxic Lipstick...

Hi Lovelies,

Toxic Lipstick will be getting a brand new look very soon, so please excuse me if things don't match for a while!

Speaking of new looks, check out these gorgeous new pictures of me taken by the very lovely Angela of Miss Angela Photography! You can also see her facebook page here!

Love to you all,

Still alive...

Hey guys,
I'm still around - okay so my grand return was not exactly what I was expecting but I certainly hope to start posting more often.
At the moment I am still working from phone pics so no love today :(


Just to prove I am still a mad fanatic (not that you need any proof) - here is something I just discoevered - these are the polished that were on my bedside cabinet. These are ONLY the ones that are within reach  - not with the rest of my stash...

Hrm...

Love,

Need some serious help!

Hello again my lovelies!!

No pics today - but I need a favour from some of you...

I'm running low on a few supplies and am now lost on where to go from here.

So in the comments section, tell me your favourite:

Base Coat?

Top Coat? (Seche still has my heart, i'm one of those magical people that it doesn't shrink on and doesn't go gluggy at the end of a bottle. I'm on my 5th bottle and have never bought the thinner for it.)

Finish? (Matte, Glitter, Holo, Flakie etc.) And what your fave product is to get that effect?

All time lemming polish?

Konad wheel - and which design?

Other thing I need to have?

That's all for now - I'm loading up some pics as I'm typing so look forward to pics of new stuff soon!!

Love,

Back with a vengeance...

Surprise my darklings!
I told you I'd be back!

Here's a mini update on everything that's been happening in my little world...

Started temping, finished temping, got called back to work as casual contract for the company, broke my thumby nail (but you knew that), racked up a stupid internet bill, got cut off, got taken on as casual by work, watched my nails grow, received a mystery package (WHO WAS THAT!?!? TELL ME!!!!!!) did some modelling, and yesterday, the big day, finally got the internet reconnected AND got offered a permanent contract at my job! Yay!

I know I've missed a LOT while I've been away, you all need to fill me in ASAP!
What's the gossip? Who's hated? Who's new? What trends are you loving? What life changing posts have you made? What have you been doing with your lovely selves?!

In the meanwhile, here's the result of one of my modelling ventures! (clicky for bigger!)

Comment on this post with EVERYTHING I've missed!!! Or email me if it's OH... MY... GOD... kind of news!

 Love,
 

A BAT! P2, Toxin the model...

Hi!

Yep you read right, model.
Some of you know I studied photography in Uni but was unable to complete it due to financial situations.
Now I'm trying my hand at modelling, I literally fell into it - I turned up at a photoshoot and the wardrobe stylist said "you'll be wearing this!" i was shocked - "I'm not a model - I'm one of the photographers!" "not today - we have two models and four photographers plus you... you're tall, skinny and pretty enough. You're a model."

From there I discovered a whole new way of doing things - modelling with the eye and knowledge of a photographer, learning how other people use poses and lighting to best effect, what looks good, what doesn't. For now its a new little side path on the main road I am heading down.

I had a shoot on saturday in Ballarat in the Botanical Gardens, this one was for an amazing Corset Designer called Obsidian Lace. I looove her corsets. For the shoot I wore "Dutchess" (the black steampunk one) and one from her GlitterSniffer range - a collaboration with an amazing artist.

I won't bombard you with photos, but I may add to this as more come in from the photographers.

Photographer: Ray Price

Photographer: Sonya

And already posted - the rest of my modelling work so far...
What do you think?

Also, I have the opportunity to purchase one of these corsets... which one do you think I should get?

Love,

NEW SEGMENT!

Hi everyone!
So, I'm a doofus and can't find my camera! I swear I've looked EVERYWHERE and have no idea where the little bugger got to... I know I had it in my room last as I uploaded photos and haven't taken any more since... so for my idiocy you get my newest weekly segment early... it's called... *drum roll*

A BAT is short for A Bit About Toxin. Spookycute, no?
(For those of you that think it't TOO spooky, here's a cute bat (photo does not belong to me):

ANYWAY, this segment will maybe be weekly or just whenever I need a little break and want to tell you a little bit about myself.

First thing about me, I'm a photographer. 

Sort of. 

I don't yet have a DSLR as I'm unemployed and have no savings because I need all the money I can get just for food. Nail Polish is a mega splurge for me and the only thing that keeps me sane. 

I prefer to work with film becuase I feel it is more involved (I usually process and develop all my own work, including some colour!)

Here's some examples of my stuff:

Pure

Maitresse Rouge

La Fee Rose

Ushanka

Iridescence

Crespe

Aefentid

Fleur de Lis

Red Elixir

Elixir of Life

A mere foible...

So now you know a bit about Toxin!
If anyone has suggestions of what they'd like to see for the next A BAT! please leave a comment in this post!
