Gelaskins

A while ago for my birthday, I got a $20 voucher to http://www.gelaskins.com/ where they CUSTOMISE skins for almost anything. Phones, game consoles, laptops, etc. Hoping to get a HTC Desire at the time, I was so excited and customised one. The expiration was end of Feb.

Had plenty of time :D

.... Or so I thought.

ASDFGHS I HAVE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL PRETTY PICTURES. HOW TO CHOOSE?
Took forever, it was almost impossible. I could narrow it down to 16 images, and then 10, 6... 4... and finally 3.

In the end,
I ended up with:

Mix of Bakemonogatari and a green fanart to mix. I had a lot of help. Thanks guys for it (you know who you are~) But ;A; can't get the phone. Only with one company and it's expensive and not really wanting to change just to get the phone. I would buy it online, but don't know what's reliable and all. That's a lot of money too :( ahh... *still in need of a phone* but that's not what this post is about.

So, onto plan B.
Can't put a gelaskin onto my beautiful pink VAIO laptop that has giant "VAIO" letters on it's lid. No. So. Aha - my netbook! It's just a plain white cover, I can put something on it!

Found the perfect image, jumbled in b/w a few bigger images. Friend who gave me the voucher said the bigger the picture, the better because gelaskins can match HQ stuff and not pixelate anything!

Off I went to order and less than 2 weeks later, it was at my doorstep. (Said it'd take a month!) 8D


IT'S BEAUTIFULLLLLL ;A;
VOCALOID IS BEAUTIFULLLLL ;A;
MEGURINE LUKA IS BEAUTIFULLLLLL ;A;

EVEN THE BACK IS PRETTY PRETTY *A*
There are also instructions on the back.

Here is my Samsung netbook. Bought it for when I went overseas to Europe/UK. Didn't want to lug or damage my laptop, so I bought one of these awesome portable light things.
It's still got protective plastics EVERYWHERE.


For randoms, reflected off the plastic on the lid is my new desktop wallpaper *Q*
*icons and videos everywhere-ere-er*
I love it.

See? Plastics everywhere :V

Time to take plastics off and make sure the surface is all clear of debris, dust and just being its' reflective shiny self.

THE BEAUTIFUL GELASKIN IS OUT OF IT'S PRISTINE PLASTIC PACKAGING *_*

And then after careful, careful [and a few retries] placing of something like a mega awesome GIANT sticker, we have our final product!

.Infinite love hearts.

even my netbook is happy; Niko~
Not sure what to call it. I tend to call my technologies something anime related.
Plastic free except for the touchpad buttons :c

The awesome VOCALOID Gelaskin ended costing almost $20 so that was most of the voucher used. All I had to pay was the shipping which was only about $5 ^^

Time to decide whether to pre-order The 3rd Birthday for PSP and ponder about my future phone :|
