Assalamu-alaikum ukthi,
MashaAllah, for taking the first step towards niqaab....for the pleasure of Allah!
Theres no greater reason than this, subhanAllah : )
Im relatively new to wearing niqaab as well......Ive been phasing it in over the past year, and alhamdulillah, I now wear it full-time.
With regards to your question - I think niqaab #1 is ok, but without the excessive eye make-up and shaping of the eyebrows (which is haraam) as this defeats the purpose.
I wear a similiar type of niqaab to pic # 2, and I would like to try out the shyla type as well insha Allah.
There is no harm wearing abayas with a little embroidery/ colour or watches, etc. - if the intention is not for drawing attention to oneself.
I sometimes wear abayas that are partially open (from below mid-way), which partially reveals my dress/ skirt beneath it.
--> as long as the conditions for hijaab are ful-filled (i.e. the clothes do not reveal ones shape, is not tight/ fitting, does not imitate that of men, is not transparent, and is worn with the intention of modesty and not drawing attention to oneself), then there is no harm in adding some colour to your life : )
May Allah Taa'la reward you for striving for His pleasure, and may He keep you steadfast on His path.
Ameen
