Shoe Nail art manicure

I decided to be really bad ass and create a silvery shoe nail art manicure. I used stamps from Amazon's bundle of nail art plates.

The pro of this manicure was that it was shoes, and the silver and purple(my awesome iphone camera doesn't do it justice..) the color combination looked really good in person. People kept complimenting me on it, at which point I told them it was a high heel design. At which point they either oo'd and aaah'd, or walked away from me slowly.

Oh, and yes, I took these photos on the train.

My Halloween Nails

I'm not going to lie. Even though I barely post on this blog anymore, I still give myself over extended manicures every day. I'm just too lazy to share them. This one was especially long because I had to come up with the designs of each nail and make them. I was watching that movie with katherine Heigel(ugh) and johnny knoxville where he pretends to be mentally retarded. So I had entertainment for this. Overall, everyone in my class liked them, the girls I babysit and my cooperating teacher even oo'd and aahh'd at them. So I GUESS it was worth it. I stole the designs from a few places, including refinery29.com

thanksgiving (sort of not really) nails

Like every other meat shoveling gluttonous american, I love thanksgiving. Its a day where I can shamelessly poor pig grease all over my buttery vegetables and claim that I'll start my diet the next day!

I had mozzerella sticks for breakfast, so that diet will have to wait for tomorrow.

We went upstate to my parents friends house, so I had to have fall festive colored nails. I saw some nail art tutorials on refinery29.com and decided against them since my halloween nails took 45 minutes, and I'm lazy. For this particular color combination, I used American Apparel's "summer peach" as a base color and Matesse's new red crackle so cleverly named "red burgundy".

The good thing about this manicure is that it didn't chip until today(like my diet)! Mostly my manicures chip immediately because I'm constantly scrubbing my floors and cleaning dishes. I guess the pig grease was good for something!

magnetic nail polish!

It is a real shame that this stuff is so expensive and pretty hard to find. I'm not sure if it will become a big trend, but I absolutley love it. I haven't bought a bottle because I'm too cheap, so I just go to sephora and do them there. 16$ a bottle is entirely too much money to pay for one nail polish, now.. I know I wouldn't have said anything like that a year ago when I had money to burn! They do have a brand called LCN thagt makes it in several different colors, but until then I will be stuck with Nails inc. Sephora is currently out of the green :( but the purple is nice! (can't you tell my cheap ass took the photos at the sephora lol)
