Academy D.Va costume review [SPONSORED by Rolecosplay]

Hello bunnies, long time no see!

I'm back after ages with another review for one of the last cosplays I've been sponsored, I'm talking about a cute version I really wanted to make of one of my favorite characters ever: Academy D.Va!
The shop which kindly sponsored me this set is Rolecosplay where you can use my discount code NYMPHAHRI for a 10% discount when you place an order!

Here's some photos I made with this costume (credits to the photographer Muffin Geek Production):




The costume included: two stockings, the skirt, the jacket, the shirt, the glasses and the tie. The headphones have been added and made by me.

I'm overall satisfied with what I received, the costume is really cute and kinda accurate with the colors, maybe the blue is just a little bit lighter than it should have been but that's slightly noticeable. The skirt is too short according to the original reference (I suggest to wear it with something under that covers you properly) and the stockings are printed and too short too.
Anyway it's a good choice if you're looking for an Academy D.Va cosplay and you don't want to spend too much money!
I recommend this shop expecially for school uniforms like this one which are often really cute and most importantly they never use shiny fabrics to make them. :P

I hope this review can be useful to you!

Have a good day guys, see you next time 😄

Geo Tri Color Violet Review [SPONSORED by Geo Lenses]

Here's the review for another pair of lenses I received with my last package from Geo Coloured Lenses! =^^=

This time I'm trying a pair of purple lenses. I think that purple is really a nice color, isn't it? I always dreamed,when I was just a child, about pink or purple eyes!

As you already saw on the title of this post, this model is called Geo Tri Color Violet.

But let's proceed with our live photos:

(comparison with and without lenses)

(both lenses on natural light)

(both lenses with camera flash)

I actually didn't expect to like these lenses so much. At first they looked like a lot of standard lenses I already saw, but I loved their effect on my eyes. And I also thought: "Ochako would be so cute with purple eyes!" eheh, I had her make-up on in that moment. xD



                                               OVERALL RATING:
Color: 5/5
Comfort: 5/5
Enlargement: 5/5
I didn't expect such enlargement, they're perfect for dolly eyes!
Design: 5/5


This is totally another model that I would recommend from this shop.

GEO Grang Grang Brown HC-244 Review [SPONSORED by Geo Lenses]

Hi guys!

Long time no see, I've been really busy with my exams lately, and I need to review a lot of lenses, wigs and stuff. I can't wait to find more spare time. @.@

Today I want to show you the model called GEO Grang Grang Brown HC-244 that I used for my Uravity instant. I fell in love with these lenses, they are really amazing, now I'll show you some pics!
This model was sponsored by Geo Coloured Lenses, one of the best shops for contact lenses. :)

Pics:

With the first try they seemed not really visible, as you can see the color is pretty similar to my natural eye but it is just a little bit lighter on the outside. Even if they make your eyes look bigger, the effect is somehow natural,not for an everyday look, but they make your cosplay look like a...live action? I don't know about you guys, but I went crazy for this model!

                                                            OVERALL RATING:
Color: 5/5
Design: 5/5
Enlargement: 5/5
Comfort: 5/5

This is totally one of the best pair of brown lenses I ever tried! I totally recommend these.

Sophie Hatter costume - ROLECOSPLAY REVIEW [SPONSORED]

Hi guys!

Today I want to review an amazing costume I got sponsored by Rolecosplay, an amazing shop for cosplays, you should totally check them and make sure to use my coupon code "nymphahri" to get a GREAT discount on your orders!

The costume I received is Sophie Hatter's dress from Howl's Moving Castel, an amazing movie from Studio Ghibli. I always loved this masterpiece, and Sophie has always been in my next projects waiting for this to come true, and thanks to this collaboration it finally did!
A special thanks goes to my friend Rocco who made an amazing Howl, and the photographer Fabio De Leonardis that took all the amazing pics. You can find their credits on my Facebook page and Instagram page.

Photos:



The dress is really accurate and comfortable to wear, the fabric is quite thick so it's perfect for conventions taken in autumn or shootings just like the one I made here. (November)
 The quality of this costume is really high for the affordable price. The color is just perfect, as it should be. The size was okay too, I took an S and I usually wear an XS or S for my dresses. 
I totally recommend to buy this costume for your HMC cosplays! And let me see your photos if you're going to buy it too. =^^=

Hope this review was useful to you, see you at the next review!

Geo Bella Blue Lenses Review [SPONSORED by GEO LENSES]

Aaaand here we are with the second part of my last review!

Do you remember that I talked about a beautiful gift that Geo Lenses sent me with my last pair of lenses from our collaboration? Then, here it is!
They sent me the model called "Geo Bella Blue BS202" which I've never seen or tried before. 
Here's some photos:
Here's the lenses in their case. As you can see, the color is a deep blue.

One lens on compared to my natural color

Both lenses with camera flash

Both lenses on natural light

I'll be honest with you: when I first tried them I had to understand which color they looked on my eyes, and I'm still really undecided about it because they should be a dark blue but on my already dark eyes they look like...a deep gray? Or a light black? I really don't know, honestly! Anyway, even if the color is way different from how it should be I totally love this effect! And since I'm full of blue lenses at home, I surely prefer them to be this dark so I can can create more looks. :P

                                                                            OVERALL RATING:
Color: 3/5
I gave them a 3 because they look nothing like blue, but I still like them anyway. So...I don't know, that's really subjective, but I wouldn't suggest them to someone who needs a light and vivid color!
Comfort: 4.5/5
Enlargement: 5/5
They're so huge, and they make your eyes look reaaally big!
Design: 5/5
Love the dolly effect!


So, that's surely a particular model, I would suggest them for character with really dark eyes!

Geo Cherry Holic Turquoise Lenses Review [SPONSORED by GEO COLOURED LENSES]

Hi guys!

The lenses I'm going to review today are called Geo Cherry Holic Turquoise, and you can find that model on Geo Coloured Lenses, one of the best shops for your contact lenses. They have a large amount of models for each color, both perfect for cosplays and more natural looks. The prices are reliable and I never had a single problem with them, the communication with the service has always been good and they're always ready to help you if you have any questions or problems.


Let's proceed with the photos!

(both lenses on natural light)

(comparison on natural light with my eye color)

(both lenses with camera flash)



The first thing I thought when I tried this pair showed in the pics was "wow, this model is so beautiful and the color looks really natural!"
I've tried a lot of lenses in all of these years, both for cosplays and for everyday looks, this pair is a perfect combo in my opinion. You do understand that's not the color of a natural eye, but they don't look as fake as the classic "dolly lenses" that pretty much everyone uses for their costumes. According to me they're perfect for characters from comics (Marvel, DC, etc) or realistic videogames. 

                                                                OVERALL RATING:
Comfort: 4/5
One of the lenses moved a lot while wearing them, but it was the first time for me wearing this model here so maybe the reason for it is that they are still new. 
Color: 5/5
I really love this color, it's perfectly visible even of my dark eyes and the effect is amazing.
Enlargement: 3/5
The enlargement isn't much visible.
Design: 4/5


I've been cooperating with this shop for a year now, and I've always been really satisfied with their products. They also sent me a little gift with this pair I just showed you (another pair of lenses! I will review them too soon), they're always so kind and I totally suggest you to go buy some pieces.
Be sure to use my coupon code "nymphahri" at checkout to get a little discount!

Tamamo no Mae Wig Review [SPONSORED by L-EMAIL WIG]

Hello guys!

I've been away for Lucca Comics & Games and I had so much fun with my friends, Lucca is totally one of my favorite conventions ever, everyone should visit it at least one time, you'll fall in love!

Anyways, now I'm back with a special review made after my last convention because I needed the photos. :P
One of my favorite shops for cosplay wigs (which you can find here: L-Email Wig) sponsored me a fabulous wig for Tamamo no Mae, the cute foxy girl from Fate Grand Order and Fate Extella. She's one of my favorite characters from that serie and I totally had to cosplay her! Hopefully I will make other versions of this sweet cutie the next year.

Here's some photos:





The wig is composed by a short base and two ponytails, I had to style the bangs because they come longer, this is way better since it allows you to cut it according to your preferences.
The color of this wig is a beautiful salmon pink, Tamamo has a really variable color according to the different arts, sometimes it can be bubblegum pink and sometimes it is more similar to this wig I received.
But let's proceed with the full review!

                                                             OVERALL RATING:
Color: 4/5
This color is really beautiful, maybe a brighter shade would've been better but it's good anyway.
Softness: 5/5
Quality: 4.5/5
This wig is really soft and beautiful, it didn't tagle much during the shootings and the convention is general!
Comfort: 5/5
This is one of the most comfortable wigs with ponytails I ever had, usually they are really heavy and tangle a lot, this isn't like that at all!

I totally recommend this wig and this shop in general, this is the second collaboration I'm making with them and I've always been really satisfied with the products I received. The quality is amazing and the prices are really low for what they offer.
