Nardcotix MANA Blogger Challenge

Hi everyone! I am so excited to be a part of the Nardcotix MANA Blogger Challenge. I’ve always loved Nardcotix pumps so when I received an invitation to join the challenge, of course I accepted!

Nardcotix – Breezie Stilettos

I’m so happy that these new MANA shoes have realistic sculpted feet. Nardya began making toe-shoes because she loves a challenge. And we all benefit from her hard work, cos these are truly stunning.

A MANA Shoe HUD is included to easily customize skin tone, nail polish and resize. This HUD also includes extra features I have not seen with any other shoes in SL: Glow and Shiny. I don’t find Glow or Shiny useful if you are going for a ‘realistic’ look but for Sci-Fi or Fantasy avatars? This makes perfect sense.

For more information and a link to the challenge questions go to: http://nardcotixsl.wordpress.com

You know you want to do this because it’s SO EASY! The first 3 entries with all the trivia questions correct gets to pick a MANA shoe pack of their choice!!

To show off these gorgeous new Breezie Stilettos, I went to the Ode sim to take pictures in the gorgeous flower field. This sim allows rezzing, so I took my gorgeous Laridian Rose Swing with me. The swing has built-in poses and is scripted to have a swinging motion that you can turn on and off with one easy click.

For ONE WEEK only, the new Laridian Rose Swing is on sale for $50L, you can purchase it from XStreetSL. The regular price is $125L (which is still a deal for this great pose prop).

Aw, this is adorable!!

What I’m Wearing:

Exile – Clara (Arctic)
LeLutka – Lola (Light) makeup8 (L Brows)
LeLutka – Lola (Lipstick) Pure Gloss
Donna Flora – JOIO jewlery set
PACADI – Alis Body (suit)
Nardcotix – MANA Breezie Stilettos

Pose Prop: Laridian – Rose Swing (Princess)

Visit the ODE sim, it’s so beautiful.

SLink Mikaela Shoes

SLink has just released these gorgeous Mikaela shoes with new foot textures that has slight shine added to it. I think the shine adds so much realism to the feet, they’re probably one of the nicest feet in SL right now. Let me explain why…

Some of my favorite skins now comes with slight shine on the skin texture. Even the nicest prim feet won’t fully match because the shine usually ends when the foot texture is totally matted. With SLink’s new feet, the shine continues down along the foot (thanks to the shine on the prim feet), so these shoes will work well with the skins I wear.

The Mikaela Shoes comes in 10 different textures, and an updated HUD to change skin tone, texture, metals, gems, nail colors, etc. There are too many options to list here, but you’re getting a *great* deal with each purchase.

These shoes are sexy from all angles.

Visit SLink!

LeLutka – Lola (Lipstick) Nature Matte

L+R+W Shoes

L+R+W is a collaborative effort between Love Soul and R2 – the new L+R+W brand sells sculpted shoes with sculpted feet and they are so natural and beautiful. I'm really excited about these Venus shoes, they're so gorgeous and super easy to color match. The price is average, at $700L a pair with no fatpack options. Each pair includes a HUD to change nail and skin color; and an update card if they do updates you can get new copies! Yay!

My only complaint about these shoes is that I can't save my skin presets, and I can't use the same HUD for each color, I have to redo the skin tone each time.

The foot looks so real and has one of the best skin tone/shadows I've ever seen! When you're buying sculpted feet, be sure to check out how the shadows are done, because it can leave an undesirable color effect on certain skin tones. Here's an image I'm using from Polina Kaestner's flickr (she also convinced me the L+R+W shoes are awesome!!) to show you a good comparison of sculpted feet across several different popular SL brands:

(Cringe worthy!! Some of these shadows are pretty bad.) In sculpted shoes I look for a nice sculpted foot with a realistic, natural shape and well-designed around the ankle to hide the 'break'.

Here are more pictures of the gorgeous L+R+W Venus shoes which are nearly perfect, they look so real!
