First Water Marble Experience

So yesterday I decided to try my hand at water marbling since a bunch of girls in the nail polish group I am in were making a day of it and I said "hey why not". I've been interested in doing a mani like this for a very long time. I tried it twice. The first time I didn't like it but my second attempt was much better.

First Attempt

Second attempt.

Finally! My Haul post from back in September

Finally I post my Haul from back in September! I do believe I bought this the week before my Cousin's wedding. I bought all of the OPI the Friday before the wedding at the mall while I was there. I have used all of these and the only one I don't like is Pros & Bronze that came with Love is a Racket.

This Haul includes:

• OPI Skull and Glossbones, White Shatter, Serena Glam Slam Duo (Love is a Racket & Pros & Bronze
• Orly Dazzly (love love love this one. I somehow have included it everytime I have done my nails)
• Essie All-in-one base
• China Glaze Re-Freshmint (my biggest lemming)

UPDATE!

School is really starting to get to me and also not having ready access to the internet as well. I took a few pictures back in September of my one and only big haul but I keep forgetting to put the picture on my laptop so I can upload while at school. I'm hoping to get that up within this week.

:D later

Sorry for being away

Sorry for being away so long. After coming back to Mississippi school started and then I don't have access to the internet all the time and being busy with homework and such I haven't had time to really do my nails. I had Zoya Tess on my tips but for some reason that night my nails weren't cooperating with me and smudging all over the place so I didn't take pictures. This week I know for sure I won't be on. My cousin comes in Tuesday night and I'll be with her until Sunday. Her wedding is Saturday and me being the Maid of Honor, I will be with her getting last minute things done before the big day. Hopefully I can get back to posting at least once or twice a week once this week is over.

Zoya Order came in!

My best friend's Zoya order came in! Her polish, Celine, is not pictured because I went ahead and wrapped it up so I could send it off in 2 weeks. Didn't think to take a picture of all 3 before I wrapped it.

Since I couldn't use my Zoya promo code last week before it expired I let my best friend Chanel use it. She ordered Celine and she let me pick 2 for the freebies! Since I didn't know what to pick I just let her pick 2 from my wishlist. She picked Tess and Valerie. I've already used Valerie but because I have had to deal with my dog's flea problems that she aquired while I was away it has come off a bit. Whatever I was using starting to make the polish come off. Other than that I looovvee the way Valerie looks on me!

I still have to reswatch the Teal Toes polish from Diamond Cosmetics. I used it on my feet BUT it wasn't completely dry like I thought when I put my flats on and my left big toe is messed up. Been a little lazy with doing it over.

Right now I'm leeching off of someone's internet around here until I can convince my dad to let me get it here. Til next time ^_^

Teal Toes!

Today I finally picked up my Teal Toes order thanks to George Stamas from NP & G for ordering these for me. He's such a sweetheart for doing this for us.

Teal Toes is to raise awareness for Ovarian Cancer.

I received 6 bottles to distribute among my friends. Four have homes as of now except for 1 and I kept one. If possible I will have a giveaway for it when I can. I'm hoping to have a swatch up soon for it.

Country Flag Mani

So here is the mani that I mentioned in the previous post that I was thinking about. My right hand looks a mess but hey I tried! I used a pen top to get the middle of the South Korean flag to blend over each other, if you understand that lol Oh! Quick Question, when you girls do nail art, do you do both hands or just the hand you're taking a picture of? I ask because when I did my right hand, I thought it was dry enough to fold my clothes and the next thing I know I look down and the yellow part of the German flag had dragged down and was coming off.

I decided to pick 3 countries that I hold dear to my heart other than the US. My index is of Germany, the place where I was born and where half of my family resides. Seeing as I'm half German from my mother's side, this flag was a given. Middle finger is Japan. Japan was my first exposure to foreign culture/music. Being raised in the South, I was never exposed to anything other than rap and hip hop most of the time, which to this I do not like. It exposed me to things I would never have seen had I stayed in this little urban bubble.

It all started with Adult Swim when I was 13 years old. Staying up Saturday nights watching anime and paying attention more to the music than the actual show lol I tried learning the language but learning the characters were so flipping hard for me. Anything I have learned I've already lost. When I learned of the Earthquake that struck Japan I was heading home for Spring Break and I shed tears in the car. It's still very much a place that I want to visit in the future.

[CHG Lemon Fizz, White on White, Bermuda Breakaway, Essie Too Too Hot, Black Polish from Old Navy]

Ring finger is of South Korea. Another place I would love to live and/or visit. It is such a beautiful country despite my old teacher telling me it's not. I start Korean class in a week from the date of this post and I can't be more happier than I am. I already know how to read it but I just don't know what I'm reading means. I can say a little bit. It's going to be hard work balancing this class and German at the same time but I can do it. I'm far enough in German to not get anything mixed up grammar wise.

As I'm typing this, it's Friday afternoon and I'm done packing for the trip home tomorrow (Saturday). I won't have the internet for who knows how long since my Dad thinks it's evil... >.> but w.e I can't waste gas when I have no job by going to other people's houses to use the internet. I have an online class and I only have a 1 hour break in between classes and there is no way I will be able to do the homework for that in a timely manner. But we'll see if I get a job or even if I don't, I'll have enough refund money to get internet from our cable company. I'll be working on convincing him once school starts up.

I'll try to get a few posts in while at school or when I'm over my old teacher's house. Zoya's should be coming soon and I have to pick up my Teal Toes polishes and distribute them. So at LEAST 2 more posts will be coming.

Til then ^_^
