ALL women have a little SUPERHERO inside of them

Hello babes! :-D

How are you all doing on this gorgeous Monday morning? It's REALLY starting to get cold in Johburg! As you all know, I believe #WinterMustFall! Especially because people expect you to only wear grey, nudes and maroon on your nails in winter. Pfffft. Puh-LEASE! Aint nobody got time for that!

So, today I have another bright, happy manicure, that (to be quite honest) made me SUPER happy!!! My beautiful friend and client, Riette, had a super heroes party on Saturday.. Only kids were expected to dress up, so she decided to go for something a bit more subtle... Super hero NAILS, obviously. Only - They're not subtle. At ALL!

We did a gelish overlay on her natural nails. I then used vinyls from Because I Shop to do the Superman and Batman nails, vinyls from Nail Candi for the Spiderman nail, and a Pueen stamping plate for the stars. I used Born Pretty's silver stamping polish, it works like a dream! For the wonder woman nail, I just use a plain old chevron guide for the "W", and a pueen stamping plate for the stars.

The vinyls were a bit of a challenge to get to work with the gelish. But in the end, we got it to work out quite perfectly. Here, let me show you. :-)

What do you think? I'd LOVE to hear from you!

That's all from me for now. Have a HAPPY MANI MONDAY, and a super blessed week, my lovelies.


Lots of Love, and remember - Stay Sassy!!

xoxo

Because BATMAN!

Hey babes!

I hope you've all had a fabulous weekend, and that you're ready to ROCK this week!

Last week was Geek Fest in Johannesburg, and I got to do these cool Batman nails that I want to show you! :-D

First off, we started with natural tips, and a clear acrylic & gel overlay. We then did a yellow gelish base called "Coco Cabana Banana" from the "Living In Rio" neon collection. It's a very bright yellow.

After curing, I applied a Batman vinyl to the middle finger nails on both hands, and painted over it with China Glaze "Liquid Leather" black. I then sponged a black glitter gradient on both the ring fingers, and a full gold glitter nail for the thumbs. :) I sealed it all with top coat and UV Glaze, and VOILA... One happy batman fan.

Here, have a look. :-)

Okay so the question everyone's dying to ask. Where on EARTH did I get these AWESOME Batman vinyls. Well, remember I told you about Queen B from Because I Shop? YASS! I think she already had these as a design in her online shop. I'm not sure. Or I requested them. Hahaha. Who cares? She'll make more! Did you know B will make any custom design you want? From nail art vinyls, wall vinyls to t-shirts. She's the BOMB! And the vinyls are such amazing quality, and so easy to work with. I absolutely love them!

So girls, please tell me what you think, or if you have any questions about the products, techniques etc. I'd LOVE to chat with you in the comments section. Over to you.

Stay Sassy!!
xoxo

Owl you need is a STUNNING graphic designer.

Hey babes! :-D

Oooh, I have another awesome mani to share with you. Yay! At the same time, I would love to introduce you to my AMAZING design fairy, Ceri Carey from C3 Designs, who's the proud owner of this set of Sassy In The City nails.

Just a very quick few details of the mani, then we're focusing on this awesome power woman!

So, a while ago I did another mani, where the client wanted a VERY specific dark grey, which I didn't have. So, we decided that I should just mix my own colour. LOL. I used Tip Top Nails "Black Forest" and Tip Top Nails "Cream Puff" to create the colour. I had spares of both of these. Yay!

I painted two coats of this "Black Forest/Cream Puff" polish on all but the ring finger. I then sponged Morgan Taylor "Fame Game" Holo glitter on the ring finger nail. Ohhhh my GOODNESS! I love this polish. Well, it's a holo, which already says it all.

I then used Born Pretty silver stamping polish and a Born Pretty stamping plate to stamp the cutest little owls, and the full nail design on the same plate. :-) And the finished product..... Stunning!

(PS: Ceri might be a tiny bit obsessed with owls)


So.. Right on to the MAIN reason we're here. :-D The funky, crazy, passionate, loving, totally rockstar Ceri Carey. Here have a looksy (she might kill me, coz I'm still awaiting permission to actually use this stolen picture), how freakin SASSY is this chick???

I absolutely love her to BITS! What I love even more (sorry Ceri, but the love is VERY strong for this one...), is my super stunning business cards she designed for me. Here, have a look!

Front:

Back: 

RIGHT???? Way too awesome. I absolutely ADORE everything about it.

I asked Ceri how she's so amazing at what she does, why she started doing it, and what rocks her world with regards to her job.

Well, her passion DEFINITELY shows in her work.

You can find Ceri on Facebook, by visiting her facebook page. Or you can give her a call on 061 444 8253 or pop her an e-mail at ceri@c3designs.co.za.

So ladies, if you need an AMAZING graphic designer who totally gets you, and who invests so much love and energy in her work, please support this awesome momtrepreneur. I bet you, you'll love her and the work she does for you as much as I do!



Till next time - Stay Sassy!

Check out these AWESOME results from my friend Mandy:

♥ TeGreen (30 tabs)

Nowadays green tea and this extract are consumed by many populations around the world; while it has traditionally already been used for centuries in China and India, for its various benefits. The consumption of this green tea extract helps to protect our body by reinforcing the body's natural defence against the effects of these free radicals that occur from pollution, stress, smoke and toxins.

How mind blowing are all these benefits?

Clinically proven to be equivalent to a professional microdermabrasion session, Polishing Peel features Pumpkin Enzymes to resurface, soften and polish the skin and Bentonite Clay to remove dull skin cells and toxins.

I'll just leave this here. These before and after pics really speak for themselves:

♥ NaPCA Moisture Mist

Makes an impressive static-fighter for your hair. Features the humectants NaPCA and hyaluronic acid to bind moisture to your skin and hair.

I just HAVE to share this fun test we did. :-D

The BEST mascara I've EVER used:

♥ Contouring Lip Gloss

Wow Woman Wednesday - Tersia Engelbrecht

Hello Sassies! :-D 

How are you all doing on this STUNNING Wednesday? Ooh, I have another super sexy, super sassy power woman to introduce to you today. Non other than jewelry designer, entrepreneur and down right BABE - Tersia Engelbrecht from African Goddess Creations.

Tersia Engelbrecht, founder of the unique range of accessories known as African Goddess Creations fashions, all of her exclusive designs crafted by hand. (Yes, her OWN hands. #BOSSBABE!!!) As a self-taught artiste with no formal training, Tersia has the ability to tap into the unusual and create masterpieces that are a tangled reflection of her quirky sense of humour, her innermost emotions and her somewhat twisted imagination.

Tersia believes that all women have the right to feel like a Goddess, and invites you to delve into her world, embrace the quirky diva within and above all dare to be different!

The African Goddess Creations label was founded by Tersia Engelbrecht in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2010. Since then she has refined her self taught ability to design and handcraft her distinctive range and now offers unique items extending from jewellery to clothing accessories and exclusive hair fascinators that lend a chic-unique style to any fashionable occasion.

Tersia uses only the finest materials, which she sources locally, and imports exclusively for African Goddess Creations from various overseas countries. Aside from her retail range, she also offers a custom service…so if you can dream it up; she guarantees to make it her personal mission to bring it to life.

Her message is very simple:
Thank you for celebrating “different” with me!

More about her ZIPPED range, which she is launching at InJuly in Linden tomorrow, 10 November.

African Goddess Creations  is launching ZIPPED - a new range of fashion accessories. She invites you to spend an awesome evening with her on 10 November 2016 (6-9pm), at InJuly Linden (57, 3rd Avenue, Linden, Jhb). It's going to be SPECTACULAR! So, tonight when you get home, you're going to give hubby a foot massage and back rub, and advise him that he'll be babysitting tomorrow 6-9PM, so you can come meet BOTH OF US (Yayyyy!!!!) at the launch. Click here to go straight to the Facebook event page, and let us know you're coming. I'm SO excited, and really hope to meet a few of my readers there.  Bring your friends along and join us in celebrating this much anticipated new locally designed and produced range!

The range cleverly combines Zippers with various other materials to create truly unique easy to wear pieces. Double wrap bracelets can be worn as chokers, giving you two accessory options for the price of one! The range is Unisex and there are Vegan Friendly items to choose from! Leather lovers need not worry, they are also well catered for! 

There are two sub-ranges within the Zipped range, namely Distressed and Premium.  The Distressed items are manufactured with plated clasps which will change colour as you wear them, giving personality to your jewelry item.  The Premium items are manufactured using Stainless Steel clasps that are imported, allowing for years of flawless wear.

The inspiration for the Zipped range came from a nasty scar that Tersia received after having hardware installed to fix her broken heel bone. This injury saw her spend a long 8 months on crutches, with many challenges to overcome. She was inspired by the nasty stitches that resembled zippers. Hmmm.... Was she high on prescription drugs, or is she really just a creative genius? My bet is a bit of both. Hahaha. And it's AWESOME!!!! The range is a celebration of life, love and overcoming the obstacles that are thrown on our paths...

There will be limited stock available for on-the-spot purchases at the launch, and orders are most welcome! Zipped will be available for wholesale and retail purchases directly from African Goddess Creations, as well as at The Stables Village Market in Chartwell, Fourways (212, 3rd Road, Chartwell – Just off Cedar Road), Sundays Only!

Tersia is in the process of setting up kits for Agents who may be interested in starting their own part-time businesses. (A little birdy even told me that there's a Sassy Mermaid who wants to sell her products from early next year - watch this space!) Online purchases will be available on www.africangoddess.co.za within the next month. RSVP on the event by email: tersia@africangoddess.co.za or 0828974254, or just join on Facebook.

How awesome is she, right? Well, shower her with love, pop in tomorrow evening and have a glass of wine with us, and help us celebrate the launch of this exciting and unique collection. Hope to see ALL of you there! 

Thanks so much for stopping by, babes. Till next time. Stay Sassy.

Life Is Peachy with Hean City Fashion #178

Hello babes :-D


Wow, I can't believe it's Friday already! What a crazy busy week. But GOOD busy! :-D Yay!


Today I want to show you a stunning polish that is currently on special at Glamore Cosmetics. It's a stunning coral-like peachy orange from Hean's City Fashion range, #178.


Pictured below is a set of natural tips, with an acrylic overlay. We then added two coats of Hean's City Fashion #178, with topcoat.

I love the formula of this polish. It applies very smoothly, and is beautifully opaque in just two coats. The consistency is absolutely perfect, and it has a stunning gloss finish when dry.


Like I've mentioned, the entire Hean City Fashion collection is on sale at the moment, for only R60 per 12ml bottle. Why? Well... I'm terribly sorry to break your hearts, but this collection is being discontinued by Hean HQ in Poland. *Insert hysterical sobs* So you better hurry over there and get your hands on some of these babies. Whether it being your first, or buying backups, you NEED to do it - NOW!


I'm sure Hean will continue to impress us with the new collection. I'm VERY excited to see what they come up with. Whatever it is, I know it will be nothing but awesomeness.


Glamore Cosmetics have a wide variety of high quality, affordable cosmetics ranging from skincare, to nailcare to makeup. Everything a girl's heart desires.

Interview with Boss Model, Make Up Artist and Lingerie Designer, FARRYN TER-OSSEPIANTZ

Hello Babes :-D


How are you all doing? Are you having a great week so far? Well, if you're not... Here's your pick-me-upper. Today we're checking in with the closest person to perfection I've ever met. The ever so stunning Boss Model, Make Up Artist, Lingerie Designer and all round angel/super-star Farryn Ter-Ossepiantz.


Remember this manicure I did:

Yes? YES, of course you do! ;-) So, after this beautiful mani, MANY of my Facebook fans and friends asked me who she is, and why does she have such beautiful hands? Um. Coz she's blessed. In every single aspect. And guess what...? We don't even hate her. Nope. But, but, but, she's so STUNNING!? Yes, I know, I know. But besides being insanely beautiful, she's also got the most amazingly beautiful soul. Kind, humble, grateful, cheerful. We LOVE her!! Love love love!


Do you want to get to know a bit more about her? :) Well, because I love you, and because I'm a rockstar, I've managed to hook you up with a short and sweet interview. :) But fitst, let me show you a few pictures of the beautiful face behind these nails...

How stunning, right???

Ok, so the next picture might inspire you to hate a tiny bit. And I think I'll have to allow you to. Just a tiny bit, though... I'll tell you why.

That body!! Come on. Does she HAVE to be so sexy? I'm not entirely convinced that it's absolutely necessary. Anyway, like I said, you're only allowed to hate a TINY TINY TINY bit. Because.....

She. Is. Freakin. ADORABLE!!!


Anyway, now that you know the face... Let's meet the girl. :)


Sam: What's your background in modelling? When and why did you get started? Was it for the glamour, the money, pure kicks?
Farryn: I started modelling when I was 12. My mom and I shared the same interests in beauty since she is a hairdresser. I started out doing modelling competitions and pageants, but it was more for the confidence boost it gave me and for fun. My mom and I bonded over hair and makeup and of course the day out together. From there it just progressed into taking modelling classes where I learnt how to walk and conduct myself accordingly in a pageant. From there I was taking to Star Model Management which has now merged with Boss Models, and I was signed there and then. The journey since then has  been absolutely fabulous and so adventurous, from travelling the world to experiencing the most amazing people and walking for designers I've only ever read or dreamed about. I am forever grateful for what modelling has done for me and taken me. I think there is a big misconception about the glitz and glam that modelling is made out to be. Yeah, it's fun, you get your hair and make up done, you get to wear designer clothing, but there is so much more than what meets the eye. In the world of modelling it's a hurry up and wait game, call times are EARLY, and you basically have no say in what you do or wear and the look that is created on you. Think of a clothing hanger, that's what we are. Someone to showcase someone else's concepts and designs. The final product that everyone says is magical and gorgeous but tons of effort goes into that. It's not a case of do your hair and makeup and put on a nice dress and shoot it. That said, I LOVE what I do! The attraction to the modelling world was not at all the materialism of it, but more for confidence boost it gave me, and the people I meet along the way.
I'm not surprised at all. There's nothing materialistic or shallow about this girl!

Sam: How would you describe your professional interests?
Farryn: My professional interest varies. Since I was a little girl, I always knew I couldn't sit in a 9 to 5 job, so I became very entrepreneurial from a young age. I've made chocolate and moulded it into fun shapes and sold it at school, sold jewellery in my mom's salon and finally I found my passion as a makeup artist. I am a model, makeup artist, lingerie designer and business woman.
(and goddess!!!!)

Sam: Who are some of your favourite models and designers, and why?
Farryn: There are so many talented models and designers out there, but to name a few I would have to say Stich and Steel (pictured below), Craig Jacobs, David Tlale, The Hive and many more. I've had the privilege of walking with ex miss South Africa Melinda Ban and Cindy Nell at Dennis Lloyds fashion show as well as the CEO of MRS South Africa Joani Johnson. There are so many beautiful models that I am friends with, too many to mention. As an up and coming lingerie designer, I have found the respect of one designer to another. Seeing these designers' collections come to life is a magical moment. I love seeing and experiencing the happiness these designers feel when the first guy or girl opens the show. We as models feel pride in the collections we walk, and that in itself is indescribable.

Sam: What's your fashion matra? How would you describe your style?
Farryn: I would describe my style as simple, yet elegant. I have many different go to looks, it just depends on my mood. If it's a chilled day going to the shops, I would wear a stunning pair of fitted skinny jeans with a pair of sneakers, a loose T, and a choker. For those nights out I love a little glitz and glam and a stunning pair of stilettos, a clutch and a sexy but conservative dress. (If you can ever use those words together - Hahaha)
Farryn, darling, you're a queen! You can pull anything off. So yes, you can use ANY two words together, we'll just keep swooning. :)
