Naughty n Nice

A shop with a name like ‘Naughty n Nice’ is almost always guaranteed to get me to walk through the door. I assume people will live up to the expectation of that kind of advertising, and Nikita Lightfoot’s work did not disappoint.
The Diamond Outfits struck me as being unusual and is definitely fun to wear. It comes as a pack of four shades: charcoal, silver, red and purple. They’re all lovely, but the deep purple won me over for the shoot. I love the confident and striking lines that this outfit cuts, best defined against a pale skin. The photographs don’t quite make it clear, but there is also some pretty detailing around the neck and back rings where the material seems to runch up.
Nikita is a relatively new designer and as such there are a few issues with side seams. With the top it could almost be a design feature, where the material is pulled to mirror the feature at the ring points, but it is more noticeable on the briefs. Paired with a prim skirt, it’s no bother at all, although you should note that the lower half is on the pants layer, probably to allow for tattoos.
I was also sent a copy of the weaved leather bikini with a note. Nikita described it as one of her ‘best mistakes’ and indeed biggest sellers: you can certainly see why it’s hot off the shelves. It’s cheeky but pretty, and the top actually works very well when paired with some other items in my wardrobe. Just for a lark, I popped on a pair of knee highs and strutted around the streets for a while, and certainly got a few comments (followers, friend requests, offers… what, a girl can’t parade around in a bikini and boots these days?). No one else seemed to mind that the side seams didn’t match. I’m too busy admiring the criss-cross back myself, and everyone else the rather full-frontal.
If you know any one under thirty days old who might be interested in these sexy stylings, it’s worth dropping them a landmark for Naughty n Nice store. Nikita is currently running a promotion to help out new folk, so if they pop into the store and pick out an outfit, send Nikita an IM and wait a little, and she’ll deliver their pick at her earliest convenience. Ah, the milk of human kindness!
I think Nikita’s work will continue improving: she is creative and has an eye for interesting and flirty design. I look forward to seeing more from her in the future: watch this space, Naughty n Nice will be back!

[…] When I last reviewed Naughty n Nice, I mentioned specifically the seam issues. There are slight alignment issues on these designs, but in my opinion these are much closer to the mark, and some of the seaming is due to the texturing, which always proves problematic for exact line ups. I would also say that the fabrics now appear more richly textured which gives the clothes a lot more punch, especially evident in the Once Bitten design, which I am really quite smitten with. […]
