nails inc. magnetic nail polish

 

This stuff is so cool! I love it, and I was so happy it worked. I was skeptical...I mean it just sounded too awesome to work for me. But when I got home last night after a singing at a freezing football game, I came home to find this on my bed (my mom likes to surprise me with little presents..I like it too.) Anyhow, instead of having me explain this to you, watch this super-helpful video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqas6ym_BuU

Nail Art #9- Sparkles!

Pretty self explanatory. Essie French Affair, with craft glitter on the pointer fingers. So fun!

My New Weird Obsession With Really Short Hair

I don't even know why. I'm pretty sure if I cut my hair like this everyone would think I'm a lesbian, which I am not. 

 

Matte Nail Polish

This summer, I bought a color that I was absolutely obsessed with, but alas, it was a fall color and I couldn't use it. So I finally used it yesterday, and it looked reeeeeally cool. But problem. It's matte. I have no matte top coat. I can't use a topcoat. It chips. Crap. So I use this stuff I bought a few weeks ago to try with it called Seche something or another, and it's a matte "nail treatment," not topcoat. So on top of the Revlon Matte Suede in Emerald City (which they totally stole from Sally Hansen...and the Wizard of Oz...) I put this matte stuff. And now I hate it. I'm really mad. The first picture is with flash, the second is without. I wish I didn't put that on top, but oh wells, you never know. I might put another coat of the polish on tomorrow, since it'll be even more chippy. But I reallllly love the color.

Nail Fail

Like I almost don't even want to talk about this because I hate it so much. I tried (obviously really badly) to do a really cool cosmic-nebula-outer space type thing that I've seen look really awesome before...and it just didn't work. If you do it right, you get a base of a dark color (mine was OPI's Russian Navy) and dab on random colors to make it look like a spacy type scene. I don't even want to list all the colors because it would be a waste of time since it just sucked overall haha. But look at the picture to make you feel better about yourself. 

Two Easy Bracelets

 I'm trying something new by putting the pictures on the left and typing over here...I hope this ends up like I intended. Anyhow, I just made some bracelets this morning. I'm REALLY bad at making jewelry that doesn't involve metal, so these will probably break really soon and the rhinestone one doesn't fit at all.

Supplies for Turquoise Bracelet (all bought at Michael's):
-Turquoise-looking round beads
-Wooden beads 
-Small clear bead
-Stretchy cord
The wooden beads I bought were weird, so I had to saw them into three beads. I cut a length of that clear stretchy stuff to make the bracelet and tied the clear bead onto it to prevent the others from falling off. Then I just strung the beads on and tied a million knots at the end with the hopes that it wouldn't break. Which it will, at some point.

Here's a picture without flash. 

I'm not even going to try to explain how I made the rhinestone bracelet, I didn't even do it right haha. It's way too small because I never measure anything like I'm supposed to. And my camera was dead, so I couldn't take pictures of the process. So here's what I got my inspiration from: http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-wrap-bracelet/

Nail Art #8- Dots!

 The polishes I used.

I started with a really crappy thick base coat of white which has now developed tiny bubbles because I was impatient and applied it badly. Then I used my teeny paintbrush to add circles and added even tinier dots all around the larger dots. I got too impatient and didn't clean them up before posting..oh wells.
