Vintage Vegas

Last week marked my good friend Lorraine's 30th Birthday and for the occasion she held a Vintage Vegas themed birthday party.

The Vegas theme is something we are no stranger to ... Vegas comes in the form of a club night up here in Scotland, mostly taking place in Glasgow and Edinburgh. It's not your usual club night with swing hits from days gone by, Vegas girls dancing on stage and alongside the revellers as well as a mini casino. It has also been known to play host to many burlesque acts. It's such a fun and unique night out, it was no surprise that Lorraine chose a similar theme for her party.

We bought Lorraine a very special cake and cupcakes for her birthday, all Vegas themed of course ... FYI, they were delicious!
Being Vintage Vegas themed, this meant we all got the chance to dress up, we had Vegas girls, flapper girls, Elvis, Dean Martin, Gangsters and even a cowboy ... from outta town obv!?
I wore a short black sequinned dress with suspender tights by Henry Holland with lots of pearls and a fascinator.... unfortunately the only photos taken of me were from behind so nothing to show and tell i'm afraid other than my attempt at vegas nail art ...

Sorry for the blurry photos ... I did want each nail to look like a playing card but painting on these shapes were hard enough although i did try it out on my thumb. As usual, i used a kebab stick to paint on the shapes and a tooth pick for more delicate characters.

Oh and here is one of the only photos of me from the night, yes it was from behind but it's rather fitting for me ...

... re-applying the slap! Beauty bloggers are never off duty! ;)
