[TUTORIAL] Psycho Pass Dominator - cosplay prop with LEDs

I just love the series of Psycho Pass and I liked the idea of the Dominator with lights ~
I've found a way to do it easily so I decided to share it with everyone!

TIME : 10 h 30' +  drying time

DIFFICULTY : 2.5/5
MONEY: 1.5/5

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• The pattern made by Laitz
• Scissor
• Cardboard
• Super glue or hot glue, or both or anything that can glue things together
• 3V battery 
• 5 blue LED diodes
• Some little electric cables
• Interrupter
• Gesso
• Acrylic paint (black and brown)
• Silver sharpie
• Pencil

Let's get started!

✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿PART 1✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿

1. I've printed the pattern and then cut it out
   
   
   

   
   
2. Then I've copied the pattern on the cardboard 4 times (because 3 layers were too thin, if you use a thick cardboard you could use only 3 o maybe 2 layers) and then cut the bases out
   
   

   
3. Now I've cut the areas where the light is supposed to pass
   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   
4. And then the center layer were cut again to let the diodes and the battery stay in place.
   

   
   

          

That's the moment when I started to work with LED, I'll try to explain how I proceeded in the easiest way possible!

In order to avoid waste of energy I've decided to do a parallel circuit like the one in the picture.
(actually I've used 5 LED but it doesn't change anything in the end, the structure is the same for any kind of parallel circuit with 2, 3 or more LED).
I didn't used the series circuit because I should have used a battery with higher power. (Ex: if I have 4 3 V LED I would use a battery that have 3 x 4 V, so 12 V; with the parallel circuit I would still use only a 3 V battery).

Basically I've just done the circuit and then I've put it in place. Unfortunately I forgot to take picture of this part, but in this video you can actually see how I did it.

In the picture below you can see how it looks with the LED on; I've let the threads out to test how the lights were...

And it's amazing (it's the first time that I do something like that and I'm so proud even if it isn't completed ahah)

Actually I've used white LED so to have a blue light I've covered the holes with blue plastic.

 ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿PART 2✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿

Now I've cut the sections that were supposed to stay on top to create some volume and 3D effects.

Then I've covered all with black gesso so I have a base to work on later.

Now I've just painted the surface with the right colors and tracked with a pencil and a silver sharpie the details

Now I've covered the gun with come vinyl glue to set everything aaaaaaaand here the final product!

[REVIEW] Honeycolor - Super Pinky Red and Blue

Hi everyone! Finally I post something ahah, here's my first review ever ♪



My eyes are brown and I had the necessity to find contact lenses that could cover my natural color. A friend of mine was ordering from Honeycolor, so I decided to join the order with her to have free express shipping with DHL ( the package arrived in 4 days *^*).

I had the opportunity (well, I consider it so) to get the lenses cases colors matching with the lenses colors - you have no idea of how much this means to me ahah.

so cuteeeee

SUPER PINKY RED 

I've bought this pair of lenses for Marceline cosplay. They were really comfortable and the color was bright and it doesn't mixed with my eyes color.

SUPER PINKY BLUE 

Like the red ones, these pair of lenses was comfortable and it covered very well my eyes color. The only thing that I didn't appreciate is that the effect is kinda unnatural, but for cosplay it doesn't matter.

▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹

Well, now I want to complete my Super Pinky collection by buying Super Pinky Grey and violet!

The only color that I doesn't like is black, maybe because I've already have dark eyes~

I would REALLY reccomand this brand!

[REVIEW] ROMWE

Hello everybody!

These days have been a bit tough for me, I've worked really hard and had poor sleep. But the weekend is my saviour, I will definitely enojoy myself and take naps and feel a whole new person after it! (let's hope)

!LONG POST AHEAD!

Anyway, here's my latest review: I've bought at the end of July five items from a site called

ROMWE

I don't know how long will it last, but there's this excellent promotion of 60% off on your first order! You just have to register and shop, and when it comes to checkout, put "Rom60" as the coupon, and voilà!

I also remember you about the free shipping once you get to 50$, so please keep that in mind.

I enjoy promotions like this a lot, because I was going to buy a dress and a t-shirt and I found myelf filling up the shopping bag just to reach the free shipping (wow, such commercial, so intelligent)
So I ended up buying two dressed, a t-shirt, a necklace and a backpack !

The items were shipped on July, 27 and arrived on August 12. They were all in one package, and SDA's courier brought it to my house twice (lol). The first day I wasn't home, and they left a notice. I haven't had the time to contact their site but they were already here the next day! Awesome shipping service ( // v // ) As most internet-china-based-shops, the shipping took 3/4 weeks. Consider that when buying from these sites.

Every item was also packed in a transparent bag to protect it from dirtyness and make it safe. All the clothes were carefully folded, and each of them carried a little black business card.

Since I've taken this kind of orders for a very long time, I know usually the clothes doesn't smell really well, expecially after being closed in a package for a month! But this time, only the t-shirt wasn't really good, all the other items were ok!

Anyway, let's begin with the first item!

Heart-shaped Collar With Buttons Pleated Maroon Dress

Stock photo from romwe.com

This cutie dress was the reason of this order. I fell in love with it as I saw it, scrolling through the dresses' page. How can you not adore this peace of heaven? Red is my favourite colour, I love pleated skirts and heart-shaped collars. It reallly seemed like it was made for me----aah I'm in love ;;

That collar made my day. Wore with som red-roses as crown and two little red bows as earrings!

The fabric is so good I could've stayed in it forever!

I just have to say that it arrived to me with the zip sew with some cloth, and since I can sew I handled it pretty well, but when I first tried it I couldn't understand why it was getting stuck (lol)! Anyway, with just a scissor and a needle you can easily fix that, and still I don't believe all dresses will have that problem.

So the bad point of it was that it had a hole on the back of one sleeve. Nothing serious, it was something like 1cm and nearly visible since it was close to the end, but can bother somebody. 

I fixed that too, it took me two points and just five minutes, so really these are minor problems.

The most complicated edit I did for this outfit (I'm a lazy bunny so I don't really touch a lot of pictures, but when I do, I'll make myself grey as an Homestuck troll!)

Backless Hollow Apricot Maxi Dress

Stock photo from romwe.com

I chose this dress to fill my cart, and I'm truly satisfied. I was looking for a peachy/apricot dress since my closet is mostly black/dark colours. When I saw this, with the nicest lace upper part of the dress. 

This dress is gorgeous! The fabric isn't the best, but still weareable.

Two things weren't the best: the first one is the petticoat, that doesn't cover that much, I'll advise you to wear another or to put shorts/ white culottes when wearing this dress.

The second is the zipper: it won't close no matter how hard I tried, and in the end I had to ask help. Even with someone to pull it up, and me keeping the edges close, it was a pain! 

You must made it in one shot, from the bottom part of the open zipper. It will stop mid-way, where the skirt meet the lace obviosly, and if it does, trust me, pull it back to the end and try again. That's the only possible way to close this peace of heaven!

 Look at the details of the back! It seems like some Ancient dress, like a Muse or something, and I feel between the clouds while wearing it!

Cat Print Crop T-shirt

Stock photo from romwe.com

I saw the cutie-patootie cat, I saw the words beneath it, I bought it. There was no inbetween.

I love how I looked like Nana Osaki with this outfit >////< ( I could actually take an istant of her with this wig and I never thought about it??? omg)

Anyway. I have nothing bad to say about this crop top. The fabric is soft as a marshmallow, the print is gorgeous, won't ruin and won't budge. The cat is the best thing I've wore in a long time! I called it glitterpony, and it is now my bff :')

White Eyes Print Backpacks

Stock photo from romwe.com

I love gore/creepy fabrics! And I've wanted a backpack like this for so long I can't even remember! It's just perfect, the ropes are strong and the fabric is thick enough to support weight. 

I was moving to my aunt house while doing this review, and I found out that it's the exact size of my laptop. So- I was going to have a nice backpack, but now I have the best laptop case! And I think it's a gorgeous idea to use it like that! Love it!

Another edit I did to spend time hahah why am I so bad at this, ops. 

Black Collar Geometry Irregular Pendant Necklace

Stock photo from romwe.com

And here comes the bad notes. I was expecting a lot from this necklace, and I'm so disappointed! I suggest everyone not to buy this. It's the second time i found problems with jewelery, so I don't think I'll be buying more from this kind of shops.

The beads are made in plastic, and the weight is really light. That means the whole necklace seems very cheap and bad made ;;

The real problem, beside the fake-iness of this peace, is that it is "handmade", or at least, I assume there's someone that thread the beads onto the structure. I have no idea how the other ones ore, but the one that came to me is defective.

You can clearly see one side has 2 black triangles, while the other has 3! This makes the necklace pendant on the left when weared! Even if I try to parade the triangle, I don't have the beads to fix the gap, so it totally unweareable. 

Even if I tried to look on the bright sight, you can clearly see the beads are bad-posed and they tend to overcome one another. Such a shame!

Anyway! Romwe is a big shop with very cheap prices, so you'll definitely find something you like, just stay safe ad think twice about any purchase (in jewelery think also 3 or 4 times lol)!
Hope you enjoyed this review, if you did, tell me in a comment!

[REVIEW] Klenspop - Bunny 3 color gray

Hello everyone! Today's review is for Klenspop!

Klenspop is an online store that sells Korean circle lenses and sunglasses. You can choose from a wide variety of circle lenses at the Klenspop online store. This store mostly sells Korean branded circle lenses such as NEW BIO, M.I Contact, EXY3 and G&G contact lenses. It ships them worldwide through standard mail.

They sended me Bunny 3 Color Gray to review! 

It's the new color lens that K-lenspop released a few weeks ago. 

Stock photo from klenspop.com

The shipping was pretty fast, they sent them from Korea on August 3rd & I received them here in Italy on the 14th...so it was about 10 business days!

As you can see in the picture above the lenses package looks like this. This package contained the lens-package wrapped in a lot of bubble wrap, so they really take care of your lenses, making them safe and sure.

They were were in a ziploc bag and you'll also receive a free contact lens case and a mini plastic lens-twizzers. As you can see, my lenses are graduated, since I'm shortsighted, and they sent me the perfect prescription! I'm always worried about lenses power, but they were really kind and helpful!

 The brand is BUNNY, the diameter is 14.5mm, the graphic diameter is 13.3mm, the water content is 38% and the base curve is 8.6mm
This means they will enlarge the eye just the perfect bit to give you an amazing look! I can't wait to try them on :9

As you can see, they give my eye the cutest look, because the ring on the outer side makes them bigger! 

They're really really REALLY comfortable, like I forgot two times while taking photos that I was wearing them, and I tried to put back my glasses and then nop--- Because they are so thin you won't even know you're wearing them! And with my brown eyes, they don't make a big difference, but that's exactly perfect to go out wearing circle lenses without anyone noticing that and making questions.

 Here there are two selfies I took while photoshooting today (for a review you'll se in the next days! stay tuned!) and I wanted to let ya know that with filter they can change to blue ! I have no idea how they do that, but I think it's gorgeous!

That was it for today! Enjoyed this review? Leave a comment! Or please tell me anything to make it better!

Klenspop was the nicest and kindest shopping service I've ever work with, so buy their awesome lenses at awesome prices and look beautiful ( / v / )
