Birthday Nails

Hi!


I turned 25 on the 14th, and in order to cheer myself up ('cause you have no idea how old I feel now that I'm a quarter of a century!), I've decided to make festive nails for the occasion. When  I think birthday, I think fun, I think colorful, I think confetti:




Here's what I used:
- Borghese B310 Bellissima Rose
- Nail Star Two-Way Nail Art Pen & Brush in orange, yellow, lilac, blue, and teal
- Rimmel Base Coat Top Coat Pro
- Dotting tool


It made me smile for a few days, until I removed it for my Harry Potter manicure.


Now, though, my nails are constantly splitting, and it's getting really annoying. I bought another Mavala product, which is suppose to work on that, but I have yet to see some results. 


Thanks for coming by!

Blog issues

Hey people!


Sorry if the blog looks a little crooked for now. I'm learning a little bit about modifying my template and HTML codes, and though it looks good on IE, it really doesn't on FF. This will be sorted out by tomorrow, I hope!


Thanks for your understanding!


EDIT 11/25/10 11:39AM --> Well, turns out I suck so much at editing that I'll leave this for another day! I wanted to make up some navigation tabs, but I really don't know how. Well, I found a website that made it look easy but.. Yeah.. 'Nyways! If any of you have any tips, it's always welcomed! ;)


Ciao for now!

Harry Potter Nails

Hi!


I know this is a bit late, since the movie Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows came out last Friday, but here was I was sporting to that event:




Here's what I used:



- Apple Bottoms Gold Mine
- Joe Fig
- Rimme Base Coat Top Coat Pro
- Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black



Though the idea of putting the snitch on my ring finger is all mine, I have to admit that the rest of the manicure was inspired by Dollface's tutorial for her Griffondor nail art, that you can see by going here: Click! I liked the idea of flickers of red over the gold, and putting out the scar over it was pretty nice too. But I didn't want to make multiple scars, just one on each nails, and I thought black was popping out more.


There you go! Stay tuned for next post, about my birthday nails!

Giant Tiger Haul

Hi guys!


A few weeks ago, I went to Giant Tiger for the first time, and was able to snatch away a few goodies. Since I was in the process of moving, I didn't have time to post this until now. (Side note: I'm now all installed in the new place, so the posts should hopefully be less far between.)


I had never been to a GT before, and though it needs patience to find treasures, you can actually find pretty cool stuff! Here's what I found:


From top to bottom, left to right:
- Apple Bottom polishes
- ELF polishes
- ELF eye shadows
- ELF lipsticks
- Earphones (that turn out to be pretty crappy, and got tossed away after 3 uses max)
- Expression polishes 
- ELF liquid liner


Here's for a closer look of each:

From left to right: - Red Delicious - Rock Star - Gold Mine - Club Queen - Paris in Pink - Take me to the Beach

These don't really have names. I know they're kids polishes, but I've tried 2 of these, and they're pretty good so far. 


 I wasn't one to wear lipstick and eye shadow, but for $6 each, I just had to have them. And I've been using them ever since! :D I really enjoy matching my eyes to my clothes, and doing a little smokey effect. I also never tried liquid liner, and I'm pleasantly surprised with it.



From left to right: - Twinkle - unknown (didn't have a little tag underneath) - Cranberry


So there you have it folks, my little haul at Giant Tiger.


See you next time! :D
