Before I invested in actual gyaru items, I compiled semi-outfits from thing I already had, that's when I realized, I already dress kinda gyaru.

One was at PMX (the white outfit) and the other was for the Cherry Blossom festival! But I wear these normally so at first I didn't feel gyaru, but then I realized it's a fashion for life, so maybe I just got a head start. I'm compiling some brand items now, and working on my hair (Tumblr decided wavy is in!) and makeup (lots o eyeliner and falsies).

I got new gray circle lenses, the Mimi sesame gray so I'm well on my way!

I've been getting more and more into GAL style lately (read GYARU).

It's tough though, I don't like backcombing and teasing my hair, a previously required element of Gyaru.

Lately though, if you check blogs like fyeahgyaru.tumblr.com you'll see modern gyarus are straying away from that, and while the poofed top hair is a symbol of classic gyaru still, the web celebs of the style have straight flat bangs and wavy ends, or just simply gorgeous silky curls!

yay for me!

I've also went on a spree lately,

le sigh...

I'm really excited though! I don't have any proper gyaru items yet !

and the community cat Maverick is over for a visit! I'll post a photo when it uploads <3

I ordered these from Fobby Barbie! I'll do a full review if there's a demand. But this is what it looks like

I'm researching where to get Gyaru nails in Cali! Everyone said Tustin or Covina but those are farther than Disneyland from me and D-Land is at least an hour drive.

I got my current nails are a super well known place in Hawaii called Salon Cherie in Waikiki, known as one of the best in America for Japanese nails, the workers are from Japan and they know what's going on in terms of style.

They have pieces to add on, as well as do amazing nail art and acrylic 3Ds. My acrylics are so STURDY I'm afraid to have them removed and to get acrylics somewhere else, cause I don't trust anyone else.

I'll try someplace in Cali though... though I hate to see my little mamegoma's soak off..,

I want longer nails though, more noticeable with gyaru! What do you think is in, the pointy claw type, or squared?

I ordered the Blended PINK X BLUE a while ago, it took a month because it was pre-order and unfortunately, I didn't recieve it before the event I wanted it for, however, when it finally arrived:


packaged like this.


and like this inside. it's in a big ziploc with a cardboard "border" around it, keeping it from getting smashed.


Here's the wig straight out of the package!


me just tossing the wig on


The falls were each in their own hair net bag thing!


I had no idea how the "falls" worked, but I guess it's just a big claw clip! haha


me with one side on.


Finally, here's some styled photos!




Rating 5/5!

Speed:
The time it took to get to me wasn't their fault, it was a pre-order as is most of their popular wigs which sell out quickly. When they received it, it got to me quickly.

Price:
4/5 I mean, it was $60, which is more than I should've spent on something I'm not wearing everyday, but you can't expect quality for cheap, so no qualms there.

Quality:
5/5 Great! It gets a little frizzy when you try to brush it, and I'm afraid I don't know how to keep it smooth and keep the curls tight but it arrived perfect! It's heavy, but I've never worn a wig, so I guess it's normal! and the fall are heavy, but it's just proof that it's super full and voluminous! if you wear one fall, it'll feel like it's sliding off because of the weight on one side XD

Color: Amazing. perfectly soft colors, more blue than pink on the bangs, but I think everyone's is unique! and it's how you brush it haha.
buy again:

already have :]

1G STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM BLENDED!

I ordered this wig after LOVING my blended Blue and Pink (see here)

It arrived nearly 3 days after ordering! SO FAST (it was instock already :D )


Arrives like this as usual for GLW


Their usual cardboard "border" that keeps the wig from being squished, and the usual Gothic Lolita Wigs/Cosplay Wigs USA flyer!


The wig and each fall comes like this, in a little net bag!


Just tossing on the wig out of the box!


The falls come like this! (They're hair claw clips! see the Blue x Pink review to see a photo of the clip!)


One fall!

and the final look!




review:

Communication: 5/5
awesome! Answered all questions and even updated the page when it wouldn't let me add to cart, all via writing on their Facebook Page which they update all the time and even comment on photos you post in their wigs!

Cost: 4/5
I'll always 4/5 things that are awesome but not within budget. it was $60 with free shipping (aprox.) which is more than I'd like for something I don't wear hardly ever, but I wanted quality and I got it, it's no fault of their own!

Wig:
Fiber: Soft! Not shiny or plasticy (imagine Party City wigs) at all. Comes out beautifully in photos. Even more matte than the Blue x Pink I think!
This one is a little easier to wear as well. Doesn't feel as all-over-the-place as the bluexpink (although I love that wig to death!).

Overall: 5/5
If I had an endless supply of money to spend on Lolita, I'd funnel a lot into having a collection, I'm in love with GLW!
