One of my crazy friends from school told me a few months back how she was starting a new venture in her life “Prestige Nights”. Hayley was always the friend on holiday who would say “God we need nights like this back at home” literally she has brought it to us right here with her friend Lauren, sax players, fire performers, Shisha pipes, live PA’S and the most amazing dancers and DJ’s in venues such as “Pan am”, “Sakura”, and there are events coming up on the 27th May in Marbella’s “TIBU” nightclub. They are even holding a white party event in Liverpool’s “Mansion” nightclub ON 15TH June that i’m sure ill be attending pretending am on my hols!
The thing I love about the girls nights so much is that we all know things are better with a girls touch so they plan a theme for all their nights. When Hayley told me her next night was a “zoo project” theme party I knew I had to body paint the dancers for her!
Hope you like looking through some of the pics of the models that me an my first boy peach, Harry, painted.
Anybody who would like models, dancers etc painted for nights or any corporate event please feel free to call or email the shop!
Lots of love Nicola xx

On Sunday I decided to make afew bits for myself. Aswell as a pair of creamy converse I decided to have ago of pimpin up some Vans Scratch Dollface style. I found a picture on google ages ago of some pumps that had been covered in aztec patterns. I’ve used uni posca markers that you can buy in Rennies art shop on Bold Street. They’ve taken around 10 hours to do, Dax has managed to get through 2 series of Breaking Bad while I’ve been sat colouring them in! A real labour of love I don’t think I’ll be in a hurry to do them for anyone else, the hard work paid off though and I love my new pumps on par with my miu miu trainies!

Earlier this year Illamasqua bought out a new collection called Human Fundamentalism. In a nutshell without going too deep, these amazing makeovers represent the fusion of all different cultures past and present coming together.
I’ve been dying to have a go at this trend but haven’t had time due to work commitments at The Whipped Cream factory. This morning one of our clients Marissa who studies fashion bought in a model for a photoshoot she’s doing today. The theme of her collection is Hyper Culture, same kinda thing as the Illamasqua stuff. Not normally one to copy I did decide to replicate the Illamasqua original. Sometimes this is the best way to get to grips with a new idea before you try go off on your own. I loved doing this look so much and want to try do my own version soon so watch this space!

Hey everyone, it’s Rose here.
It’s the day after Chester Races and we’re all in work reminiscing about yesterday’s antics! We’ve all had a Sayers to wake us up and we’ve got loads of clients in today who are headed for the races themselves so it’s almost like we’re still in on the fun.
Polly has suggested that it might be funny to tell the story of the day according to the ten funniest moments… I’ll let you fill in the gaps.
10. Sampling Nicola J’s Skittle Vodka
I think I speak for the team when I say that Nic’s skittle vodka concoction looked anything but appetising. She’d left some skittles in a bottle of vodka to dissolve overnight, and the result was a drink that looked like a bit of a Wotsits cocktail – orange with a frothy topcoat! Once we had mixed it with a bit of lemonade, however, we were all eating our words because it actually tasted lovely. That showed us for judging the book by it’s cover!
9. Big Mare and P.Did to the Rescue
Imagine the scenario. It’s ten to eight, the minibus taking us home has been booked to arrive at the Town Hall for eight (we have no clue where the Town Hall is) and we are still using the tie of a suited and booted gambler as a limbo rope on the dancefloor. Noticing the time, we scrambled to gather the troops and raced to the Town Hall, hoping that our driver had waited for us. Who was there, waiting to wave us off, and kindly reminding the cab driver to wait for us… Big Mare and Paul, Kate’s mom and dad! They saw us off with a big hug and managed to make sure that we didn’t miss the bus.
8. Kharyce’s Extra Accessory
Everyone knows that the biggest joker at Peaches is Kate’s boyfriend, Dax. He is always cracking a joke but even if it is at your expense you can’t help but laugh because he’s hilarious. Yesterday he turned his attention to Kharyce because he’d noticed that there was a certain accessory, her white underwear, that was perhaps more apparent than she’d have hoped for. Unfortunately her dress was sheer, revealing a very prominent ‘v’ on her behind, so she ended up having an al-fresco races experience.
7. Making Friends
Yesterday was quite a day for meeting new people, and I believe that everything happens in 3′s so it was no surprise that we found 3 notable characters along the way in Chester. First up we were all delighted to meet Harry from Big Brother! He was really friendly and had a nice group of mates with him, and didn’t mind when we all pestered him for a million and one photographs. On the way out of the racecourse we met a lovely gypsy fortune teller called Carole and she gave us all a bit of sentimental advice. Then we found Steph from Take Me Out doing some promo work and she stood and chatted us about the show.
6. The Dress Disaster
I’d brought a gorgeous halterneck vintage dress for the races, and because it had a low back I hadn’t worn a bra. Imagine my sheer terror when I felt something pop on the back of my neck mid-dance move and the clasp had gone on the dress!! Luckily I caught it just in time to avoid baring all at Chester, and the girls successfully gripped it into my hair. What a catastrophe! Polly caught the funniest photo of me in horror grabbing the dress by the neck.
5. The Train Police
Determined to make the most of our day out, the partying began on the train from Liverpool to Chester. Steph had brought an iPod and speakers with her and so we cracked open the bubbly and had a sing-a-long on the train, but all of a sudden two stern men in hi-vis jackets were stood over us in disdain… as Kate called them, the train police. Undeterred, we reassured them that we were only having some fun together and in no way causing trouble, and so the next thing the train police actually turned into our designated photographers, capturing loads of snaps of us.
4. Hell in Heels
When I was getting dressed and throwing on my killer Kurt Geiger heels, I hadn’t really considered the fact that I’d be doing a lot of standing and walking all day. By 3 o’clock my feet were ready to fall off and I really couldn’t bear it! Luckily, Big Mare (Queen of the Mary Poppins bag – remember her Chanel bag for Aintree, bursting with essentials?) had some slippers in her bag and kindly gave them to me. My dress was floor length and very long so my feet were covered, so I spent the rest of the day in luxury and enjoying the day. It really did make my day!
3. Diva in Arriba
Not happy with the subtle harmonies that were accompanying the bars at the races, Nic insisted that a bar called Arriba plugged her iPod in and the next thing the whole racecourse was subject to a load of classic party tunes! We made a little dance floor and danced the day away with our favourite accessory, entry no.2…
2. …Tanya’s Dress
Think back to your P.E. lessons in school when you were really little. Do you remember that big sheet that you used to all have to hold and then flare up in the air and dive under? Well, Tanya’s extra long maxi-dress was full of layers and so we started to do that with it. With a 6 metre circumference to dive around in, she looked like a figurine on top of a wedding cake!
1. Champagne Breakfast at Oddfellows
Starting the day with some breakfast to prepare for the races, we took to the gorgeous Oddfellows in Chester. The decor was out of this world and the food was absolutely lovely. We made sure that we made the most of the peeps of sunshine by stepping out into the garden to finish our drinks after breakfast.
All in all we had a brilliant day at the races. Hopefully next year will be just as fun! Did we Peach you for the races? If so, tag us in your Facebook photos so we can have a look at your outfits.

I had a lovely client over the weekend who was OBSESSED with leopard print! She drove nearly 2 hours all the way from Wales to come and get her makeup done! She was crazy about leopard print from the decor in her bedroom, to the gilet she had on to her nails! It was her 21st, she had a black dress and leopard print shoes and wanted her eye makeup to match!

With me winning the hat competition a few weeks back, I thought i would do a double blog! It may seem like I have an obsession with lady birds but i dont haha , I bought a playsuit a few weeks ago from H&M and it had lady birds on so ever since then I have found them really cute! I made my hat out of play dough, five flat sponges and I painted the white play dough for the spots! As you know Herbet came and picked the winner and it was me!!! I was so happy and surprised that lady bug won the day! There you have it my lady bug! Hope you guys enjoy!
