Yay Olympics! Team USA

I love the olympics! Too bad it only comes every 4 years :-\

Nothing like a little Spontaneity!

I had no idea what to do. I just knew I needed to paint my nails. Lol

Its Slime Time!

A memorial to my beloved Nickelodeon, that I lost to Viacom :-(

Cloudy Arches

After going out in public with this design today, it was brought to my attention that this reminds some people of pop tarts. You know that goofy commercial for wild berry, yeah so the updated name for this design is "Doin the Pop Tart." I can't think of what a pop tart dance would look like, but maybe you can picture the little pop tart people doing it lol. Name inspired by my classmate.

Pastel Rainbow

I just wanted to take a picture before it chips. I gonna try the picture transfer as soon as I find a printer

Mr. & Mrs. Cat

I really don't enjoy painting my toenails. But I was feeling wild today so meet the Cat family!

Light the Spark

This is for the Forth of July, but I had a little inspiration from roller derby...hence the giant star lol.

Tie-dye Polka Zigs

My first customer! I was definitely trial and error. But it was fun!

Hair: The Kink

So, my cousin sent me this video on youtube on how to do pin curls on wet hair with no heat....her name is HairCrush (View Video), by the way and she has pretty amazing hair! But anyways, I relaxed my hair yesterday and proceeded to attempt this style.

I first added a BOAT load of setting lotion to my hair and combed it through with a wide-toothed comb and added more on each section. I started in the front and separated my hair into sections the size that I wanted my curls. About an  inch. So I actually began rolling the pin curls incorrectly because I'm sure you can imagine that it's quite  difficult to roll wet hair. So instead I twisted each piece first, then rolled the hair around my fingers to create a cinnamon bun. Pull the roll off your finger and bobby pin it in place. It may slip a little with the setting lotion. So this is my whole head after I was done about an hour and half later. I wrapped a silk scarf around my edges and sat under the dryer for about 30 minutes to let it set it and then slept on it (with a scarf). At this point, I looked like Janet Jackson circa 1995 in the Runaway video.


I unravelled the pin curls after my shower because I thought it would help them relax a little. But this is the aftermath of the rolls. Little Medusa snakes. It wasn't sexy...

I decided to separate the curls because the snakes were a little scary. I applied a whole bunch of oil because it was really dry from the setting lotion. Now we have Don King...

I wasn't feeling the Don King, so I twisted the front out of my face, now for my make-up! 

Dainty Bows and Ribbons

Faded Flowers

I created a design yesterday while visiting my mom using her polish....
Let's just say mom's polish is not good quality.
This design was created using my new polish that is NOT 6 years old lol.

Dots and Stripes Forever

Hair: Egg Mixture

Ok, so I'm about to share a slightly embarrassing photo of myself testing out an egg mixture to moisturize my hair. I recently colored my whole head and it took a toll on the health of my hair. It became very dry! So, I decided to try out this mixture that consists of:
*1 part extra virgin olive oil
*1 egg
*2 parts mayonnaise (I used Hellman's).

The traditional way to hold in the heat is a shower cap...BUT I didnt have an extra plastic cap, so I decided to use saran wrap! It made it a bit more fun. I thought I looked like an alien, so I took an alien inspired photo lol.

I left it on for about 45 mintues. You can leave it on as long as you like since it will remain moist with the plastic on it. But by any means, do NOT let it dry on your head! The egg will be a bitch to get out.

These are the after results! Beautiful shine! I wish I had a photo of the back of my head, but I had pin curled the back into 4 rolls and added a skinny black headband in the middle.

Make-Up: Pink and Green

Make-up is so much fun! For this design, I used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils, Woodstock, a hot pink color, and Junkie, which is a forest green. I smudged the green and the pink together on the top lid and just blended them with the pencil on the bottom lid. The great thing about these colors are that they are in pencil form so I can add my wing :-). The light pink at the corner of my eye is also Urban Decay, but in the eye shadow. I believe the color was Toasted. 

Stripes

Mild inspiration from international flags. Don't ask lol

Before the Blog

I have a lot of backlog of nail designs so this post is dedicated to those that haver no rhyme nor reason.

Spring is in the air!

We got a little taste of Spring on Monday and my previous polish was beginning to chip....
So why not welcome Spring time with open arms and try random flowers. :-)

Hair: New Color!

New Color! Previous to this wonder, I only had highlights. I was always too nervous to color my whole head   because I was afraid that it would dry my hair out. Well it's only the first day, BUT so far so good! My stylist used Paul Mitchell color, 5RV with Platinum highlights (without Bleach). I quite like the color. Let's see how this goes.
