The Way I Are

By Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson & D.O.E. I used to listen to this song everyday repeat x 5.. Now I still enjoy it, but in very small doses. But D.O.E's part always makes me chuckle!! SORRY FOR THE ABSENCE!! I don't really have an excuse other than the fact that I have been feeling tres blah and every look I have done with my nails has just been terribad. Embarrassingly so. I finally did this look and feel a sconch better about myself, haha! Click To Enlarge Click To Enlarge I used a tutorial that JulieG713 posted HERE . I was a smidge disappointed when it was based off of a Rihanna look, but it is still amazing and I just had to copy it! JulieG posts some pretty nice nail looks. I also find that she doesn't try to confuse people when explaining things. (I have seriously watched thousands of YT videos, and some of the nail tutorials could be explained so much easier.. I understand them, but I could see someone trying to learn and just giving up all hope.. When they s

Bad Things

By Jace Everett. I had always considered watching 'True Blood', but never actually started. Then my best friend told me to absolutely watch it. So I started the other night. Almost through the first season. I am in love/obsessed/UGH with this show! AND! I absolutely love the opening credits song.. I hate country music, but there are the few gems like this song and some off of the 'From Dusk Til Dawn' soundtrack that creep me out and make me LOVE them. Woo.. well.. on to the postage.. I used this tutorial by QueenofBlendingMUA for these nails.. Although I changed it up a smidge because I am not a *big* fan of rhinestones.. Scope the vid out HERE . Click To Enlarge Click To Enlarge I had been thinking about using Breakin' for awhile.. But couldn't really think of anything to do with orange until October.. Glad I found this. I had wanted to use ORLY Calypso Breeze as the blue, but I use it quite often.. So figured I would give Sexy in the City another try. I actual

Serious

By Duffy. It is nice.. The beginning reminds me of an olden days girl group/backup singers.. Same with the chorus! Oh, and side note, this is my 30th post - woo!! I have been meaning to post about this for a bit.. But now seems like a good time. I bought a different storage unit for my nail polish stuffs. Don't get me wrong, I loved the other one.. But what I didn't like was having the polishes laying on their sides and seeing the mix seperate.. Ew. So, here is the new unit.. Click To Enlarge Click To Enlarge The old unit is still up top.. I cannot get rid of it.. it now houses some of my art supplies - ie brushes and pencils. Annnd on to my fail nails from yesterday.. Click To Enlarge.. Actually.. Don't!! I saw this idea on youtube once and thought I would give it a try.. I don't really like it only because of the colours I chose. I think I will give this one a go around Christmastime.. I think it would work nicely with Christmasy colours!!

Tag: I Think You're An Awesome Girl Award

I was reading Danielle's post at The Diva's Polish and noticed she had mentioned my name/blog at the bottom.. So I obviously must fill this bad boy out!! Rules are simple.. I have to share 10 random facts and then list 10 blogs I enjoy reading.. Here goes!! 10 Random Facts: 1. I really, really, really, REALLY hate it when people say 'highschool is/will be the best four years of my life!!!' Seriously? If you are going to base the rest of your life of highschool, I would say you're a sad, sad person. (Makes it sound like I had a tough time in 'hikeschool', but I didn't. I enjoyed it. But I am going to say that there are better times than those four years). 2. I LOVE movies. Almost to excess. I love movie nights with friends, movie nights with the family, movie nights with myself, I love going to the movies.. ETC! It is a really disturbing thing when you get to act as a human IMDB. (See #8). I also really love video games. Yeeup. 3. Reading is probably on

I Don't Feel Like Dancin'

By Scissor Sisters. This is seriously a guilty pleasure song.. I think if I was really down and this song happened to play, I would not be able to NOT smile! So.. as I have probably mentioned a time or three - youtube is one of my favourite places to find inspiration for nail art. Lately I have done two looks that were more difficult.. And I absolutely hated them!! I didn't even take photos for others to gawk at.. I know.. SO rude of me! I will try them again someday.. Anyways.. I randomly came across a video by ThoseHappyDays .. The video is titled A little part... and at around the 20 second mark you will see the nails that I recreated. Click To Enlarge Click To Enlarge I like them. They are simple to do, and have a nice look to them when they are finished. I was going to use totally different colours.. But I thought back to my last two fail attempts.. And decided to stick close to the colours used. Now I have nice nails for my managing shift tonight! Yay! OH! And I am up to 20

Paper Planes

By M.I.A.. I really did like this song, but I liked it before it was SUPER popular and used on the Pineapple Express trailer and then used on a bunch of other things. Ahh well! ANYWAYS! It is good to be back and have an update for all of you! I think I mentioned before about my crazy sleeping and just lethargic behaviour.. I was finally starting to feel normal, then something happened on Tuesday, and I went back into a serious funk. I am tired of being tired. Life sucks, blahblahblah, etc, etc, cry me a river eh?! Last night (Thursday) as I was happily watching Big Brother.. I was like 'I should do my nails!' and I did. I also have to say.. I haven't snipped my nails in approximately two weeks, and the growth is AWESOME! Annnd.. this is nailage where I actually would say my right hand > my left hand. Scope the photos.. Click To Enlarge And I made a mistake on the ring finger.. Well, no one *really* notices it until I point it out. Are any of you bad compliment takers as
