Jordan Skellington















End results of my first attempt at body painting! unfortunately the paint I used, not the Kryolan mentioned in the last post, didn't stay on that well, but I was having too much fun to care!

Body Painting!

I am going to a dress up party next week and being a non traditionalist, I decided to forgo buying a costume and paint my costume on instead!





Last year sometime I discovered Kryolan DayGlo Aquacolours. They are these amazing water activated body/face paints that glow under UltraViolet lights! They are so so cool! I was so impressed to find a company right here in New Zealand that still sells them, as I believe they are discontinued.






So my costume idea was to paint on my skeleton using this amamzing glow in the dark paint. Unfortunately, my boyfriend (it's his party) assures me there will be no Blacklights at this bar, so I will have to carry a tiny one in my pocket.






I chose the purple DayGlo colour, probably because I have enough makeup to match it. I also bought this dress from ASOS and am eagerly awaiting its delivery



My sister, who is the artsy one, is going to help me do the bits I can't reach, like on my back and left arm. The Kryolan is a little bit difficult to work with, it goes on really really sheer so you have to spend time to build it up. I'm debating wether or not to press an eyeshadow over it to help with longevity and pigmentation.
