Custom Persona Phone Case Review - Game Custom Made -

I've been eyeing up the custom cases and skins over at Game Custom Made for a little while now, and since I'm so obsessed with Persona 4 I decided to order myself a phone case! The case cost £20 with free UK shipping, and arrived within 3 days, which was super fast!
Ordering the case was very simple, the online editor is easy to use and you can upload any picture and resize and rotate it to fit the case. As you can see I tried out a few different Persona pictures until I decided on the one I chose!

 The case is a really nice quality, the plastic is very thick, and it's really shiny too! The print came out quite nice, maybe a little dark but you can see all the details and there's no patchy areas. Using a high quality picture helped with that of course.
 The design is even printed down the sides and around the edges of the case, which are slightly curved and feel very smooth.
 The design does get a little distorted on the curved corners (note the P from the Persona logo) but it doesn't distract from the overall quality and I don't mind so much since it's just on the side.
 The colours are bright, and the case in general looks professional.
 And here is the case on my phone! I have my usual Persona and cat paw charms on, I love having multiple phone charms hanging from my phone~
 The case doesn't rise up over the edges of my phone, but I don't mind at all. There's a place where I can put phone charms so I'm happy!
 Overall I love this case, I've been wanting a Persona case for a while but all the official ones are super expensive and all look the same, now I have something different that no one else has! (unless they make one too which is cool)
Check out Game Custom Made (I'm not sponsored lmao) for other custom cases and skins for game consoles and controllers as well as phone and tablet cases!

.... I think I'll be getting this one next huehuehue *sweats*

Happy New Year! (+ updates)

Hey guys! I know it's a little late, but Happy New Year! I hope you all had a merry Christmas too :D Just a quick post today to update you guys on a few things, this year is going to be exciting I can feel it!

Tutorials on Super Cute Kawaii!

Some of you may be aware that I applied to be a writer for the cute blog Super Cute Kawaii recently. I wrote 3 guest posts for the blog to gauge response and one of which was a polymer clay cupcake tutorial, which was so well received that I was asked to write a monthly craft tutorial for the blog! My first proper tutorial went out earlier today, make sure you check it out here!

You can check out my other posts on SCK here (or check the new link at the right hand side!)

Anime Conventions and cosplays this year (so far)

Having gone to a few conventions last year, the urge to go to more is so strong! Maybe this year will be the year I have the funds to go to London for Hyper Japan, but for now the conventions I'll definitely be attending are:
  • Sunderland Comic Con (21st Feb)
  • Sunnycon (26-28th June) - I will also be selling here!
  • Anime Attacks (TBA)
I'm also thinking about going to Yorkshire Cosplay Con again this year, but that will depend on money and how to get to the venue. I might also go to King Con this year too!

You may remember my previous post on my cosplay wishlist, and I'm hoping to put most of those cosplays into action this year! I'm hoping to be cross dress Yu Narukami at Sunderland Comic Con (Nico if that doesn't happen in time), I'll be Nagisa and Nico at Sunnycon, and maybe Yu or Rise for Anime Attacks. If I go to any other small cons I'll be either Nico or my Persona cosplays.

Finally, Goals for 2015 and 20k Subscribers!

I recently reached 20,000 subscribers on my Youtube, and I just want to say a huge thank you for everyone! I also made a goals for 2015 video, which is something I've done for the past 3 years. It's really useful to look back on those videos each year and see how much I've achieved! Check out my goals video below:

I think that will be all for the updates, all I'm gonna say is that in terms of my shop, I have a super secret and awesome collaboration happening this year, and though I'll have to work super hard to keep everything going, I'm excited!
