Uno et L'etoile is a collection of wedding dresses designed by Uno Kanda.(ex model)
Uno et L'etoile is roughly translated from French to 'Uno and the Stars'

Kyocera
This is very recent. She models for Kyocera - a Japanese mobile phone brand. If you look at the website, you will see that she dressed up as a new person for every different phone, presumably the target audience.

Palty
This is an old collab but I thought it deserved a mention ^_^ Palty is a hair dye brand by Dariya. There are so many colours to choose from!

EDWIN
Both Tsubasa and Naoki model for EDWIN in a sub-brand called 'Umetsuba' (both their names mixed up). 

Tsubasa kimono styling
She designs her own kimonos. (Couldn't find much)

Tsubasa Kids kimono styling
I wanta family like this! I am aware that the kids aren't her real kids XD
She also designs children Kimonos - what doesn't she do?

Angel Colour
If you have ever wondered what circle lenses she wears, it is Angel Colour's Bambi Series. It feautures 4 lens colours: Apple Green, Sesame Gray, Chocolate Brown and Almond. They only last for three months and the are 14.2mm diametre because she said 'she doesn't like them too big' (Lol thats what she said :D)

Tsubasa x KITAMURA

Not many people have heard of this XD. Kitamura is a brand which sells photoframes, cards etc.

Anime / Manga ♥

I la-la-love manga :D It is one of the only things I read! Here is a list of my recommendations and what I have read / reading. I am going to a convention this year in London - I am going as (I don't know who yet) someone from To Heart. (if you want to find where so we can meet up, please email me :)) Also I am going to this even where me and my friend are cosplaying Chihiro and No Face from Spirited Away. Its a great film. Watch it.  What is your opinion on Yaoi / Yuri / Hentai. Personally, I think that (non extreme) yaoi is quite cute ^_^

Bra Girls

It has quite a... individual story line. (You'll understand if you read it) I would recommend this for anyone who has a sense of humour.
FIY, I'm not lesbian, or bisexual. The cover is just misleading.

Death Note

This is really cliché but I am in LOVE with L. It is also a great storyline and annoyingly addictive. It is about a boy, Light Yagami (read is surname backwards XD) and he finds a 'Death Note' which is a book that when you write down their name, case of death etc, they die.
I would recommend this for anyone who likes supernatural or mystery.

Super Gals

I love the anime but the manga does drag on a bit and I am very impatient. It is about a group of friends (who call themselves Gals) living in Shibuya, and their day to day life about school, boys, parents, fashion etc. I would recommend this to anyone who likes Shoujo (for girls ages 10 - 18), school life and romance.

Junjou Romantica

Yaoi. I prefer watching it as it isn't as extreme and graphic. Please don't spam comments about how it is disgusting. It is about a (guy) student of 18, who falls for his older brothers firend (also a guy).
I would recommend this for anyone who lives Yaoi or Shounen Ai (Boys Love)

Absolute Boyfriend

My favourite manga. It is about a girl who orders a mechanic boyfriend. I cried so damn much in the end. It is a really good storyline and not too much to read. Absolute Boyfriend is quite popular which is good so I can get some from Waterstones.
It also shows that if you want a guy so perfect, you have to buy him (I'm joking)
I would recommend this to anyone who likes romances.

Ouran Highschool

Just started reading. It is really good so far. 
It is about boys that set up a 'Host Club'
Good for someone that likes Shoujo.

This fortnights nails! ♥

Happy Valentines day!
Has anyone tried dried Longgan? They're so good ^3^
I never usually wear fake nails because my hands are tiny, so my nails are too small for all the nails. So I had to file the sides XD Also my nails can grow quite long (people ask if they are fake a lot) But I got sick of growing them and faked it :)



Left hand (pinkie to thumb)
Pastel pink, pastel pink strawberry with diamanté, glitter pink, red strawberry with diamanté, I ♥ *picture of strawberry (Lots of detail on that :D)

Right hand (again, pinkie to thumb)
White with silver heart, pastel pink strawberry with diamanté, (different shade) pastel pink with hole in the nail and a bell (I jingle when I type), pink glitter, pastel pink.
