Roma Gyaru . . . what is it? And how to tell the difference between Roma gyaru and Hime kaji (Casual Hime)

So I know people that are new to Gyaru style may have never heard of Roma Gyaru, and up until a couple moths ago I had heard of it but I had never been interested in Roma but now that I'm looking at the style a little closer I'm beginning to really enjoy it. So I'm going to use the knowledge that I have collected over the past couple of mothns to explain what Roma Gyaru is to those who are curious or want to know more about it so they can try the style out for themselves. Okay here we go  Roma is short for Romantic so             Roma Gyaru = Romantic Gyaru.  Roma gyaru usually consist of frilly styles of clothing , cute patterns, and generally girly fashions. Now you may think that this is exactly like Hime Kaji = Causal Hime and in some aspects that true but they're aspects of each style that can help you to tell the difference between the styles.

This is Hime Kaji

 

   This is Roma Gyaru

Color schemes and Patterns

  Now that I have presented some examples now I'm going to break it down and tell you what makes these styles different or at least what I have noticed that makes these two different styles. The first thing I notice is that Roma Gyaru uses a full range of colors from muted colors, pastels ,as well as very deep colors while hime kaji will sometimes use blacks , browns, and tans. But it isn't as predominantly used in the types of clothing worn, hime kaji usually leans toward pastel and light colors. As for the prints that are used on clothes Hime kaji and Roma both use floral prints but it is more used in hime kaji, while roma will usually contain polka dot print as well as floral prints, and plaid.

Jewelry

Now on to accessories I've noticed with Roma gyaru they tend to use old looking/ classic looking jewelry. while Hime Kaji uses a lot of gold jewelry , the jewelry is usually delicate looking and not big or chunky. usually accented with bows, roses, or colored stones.

Hair

Hair styles for Hime Kaji are almost about the same as Hime gyaru it still has it's volume and is curly or wavy hair with lots of body and hair accessories like over sized flowers or bows  but it can still vary to the persons personal preference. While Roma gyaru haor styles are usually wavy or loosely curled and it doesn't have as much volume to the hair styles. 

So for now these are my observations on the differences between the two styles as I learn more I will update my post if I have anything wrong please comment and I will definitely revise this post and I hope this has helped anyone who was curious about some of the differences.

Turning friends into Gyaru and deco nails

So i've been kinda busy these last 3 days one of my best friend 'Momo' came over to get her hair done. It was my first time doing a full sew in weave and it turned out great. I had also bleached the hair and custom colored it and  it was a two day process but it was a labor of love. Momo is one of my very close friends and she has been with me through my gyaru  journey she has watched me from the beginning and she has watched me and encouraged me to become a better gal and as time went on she has become interested in becoming gyaru. So we have these days when she comes over and I do her makeup and I do her hair and we just take selfies. Most of the time we don't get to go out on the town because she works a lot so we only get to do it at night but were planning on doing a get together so we can all go out.  This is her picture below isn't she a cutie a gal in the making I can't wait to see the progress as she becomes more comfortable  and starts doing more flashy gyaru fashion.

 We also went to the nail salon and got our nails done i'm  not to good at doing acrylic nails yet but I'm good at designs so we got our nails put on and we went back to my house so i could deco them. I think they turned out really nice.

For my lips I did a simple Gradient lip in the center of my lips I applied a red lip stain ,then I took a pink lip gloss and applied to the rest of my lips and blended it out. This is optional the look will also look great with a Red ,Pink, or Wine colored lipstick once lip color is applied.
