Hola Bellas,
How have you been?? Again I have no excuse on my recent hiatus-- I could just say work--been commuting between Lagos and Abuja in the last 2 weeks. I must say I really do doff my hats to Lagosians; the heat in Lagos cannot be compared with anywhere else.
I wanted to start off the year with a look, but been having a couple of bad hair days so that will have to wait. In my last NOTD, I had a spree at The Nail Bar, Abuja. During my Christmas vacay in Lagos I came across a cracked nail polish, so here is a sequel to my last NOTD. I actually got to colors
- Milani Nail Lacquer on Ruby Jewels
- Crackled Glaze in Cracked Medalliom
Seeing that I've had my acrylic nails since December 2012, I had it filled and opted to paint them myself. it was easy as pie and the outcome was gorgeous. Enjoy the pictures!!!
Omigosh!!!I've been away for so long I don't even know where to start from.
I missed my birthday blog cos I had events line up that week.
Guess y'all remember The Avalanche??(I did their makeup for the concert in November). Well, they are back on my blog as I again did their makeup for the Carol Service that held on the 14th December, 2011.
I've been around the country these past couple of weeks and it’s really been fun (plus jet lag...lol).
24th December: I was first in Lagos (where I fell ill) and then left for Ibadan for a pre-booked event that consisted of engagement and bridal makeup on the same day!!!
25th December: Christmas day saw me chilling at with my family (my grandma included). I had a fab pink/blue gown matched with my hot pink lipstick and shoes!! Later in the evening, painted Lagos purple on a night out with my sister and fabulous friends!!
26th December (best day ever!!): Was at my high school reunion at Elegushi beach. It was the highest point of the holidays for me. I was folks I haven't seen since forever (9yrs to be exact). I had mad/crazy fun though had to leave early as I'm not a fan of Lagos traffic. My day was almost marred by a defiant wisdom tooth that caused my jaw to swell (muchos pain!!!).
Makeup artists in the beautiful city of Lagos had a meet on the 27th (though I was unavoidably absent) but from what I gathered I missed a lot!! Thus I geared my Abuja makeup artist to prepare for our meet which should come up in January---we are so ready to part-ey!!!
I left Lagos on the 29th for the serene (network defiant) Anambra state for the traditional wedding of a client (Uju and Uba). At the airport I met my all time favorite makeup guru Banke Meshida Lawal. I was so flushed meeting her and of course she recognized me as the winner of the Sacred Creative Makeup Artistry Competition!! During my visit to the state, I understood why the Igbo people of Nigeria always run back to the village for festivities; the air was as clear as day. It was a far cry from the smokey and hazey fumes of Lagos.
I left Anambra on the 31st (boy!!! Was I glad to have network on my phone)
On the 1st I was n the busy city of Umuahia in Abia state. Not only was I working (also a traditional wedding) but I was also stargazing because I had the privilege to work with wife of award winning music producer/ songbird Justice Martins (aka J.Martins). I was the official makeup artist for the event and I also mingled with the stars of the Nigerian music industry.
I got back home (my beautiful city of Abuja) on Tuesday 3rd January and work continued in earnest.
So far I can say I had a wonderful holiday despite and in spite of all the work I had…..I had a blast!!! Watch out for the pictures
