IT'S BEEN SO LONG!

  I have no excuses. Okay, maybe working seven days a week so I can have a mediocre job with health insurance(yeah not worth it-you), never sleeping, overworking, over-drinking, under-sleeping and NEVER doing my nails.  Yeah, can you imagine? I got a Masters(finally!), a job at the DOE(fuck..yes), made lots of money(okay thats a lie), my husband is going back to school to finally move forward- and I never did my nails.  It was a rough few months, and then I needed a month to drink sleep it off, then I started working with the girls for 12 hours a day(not to mention my weekend job)/going on crazy interviews for September. Overall, I am not exaggerating when I tell you I have worked like a slave.
 Anyway, this blog has been itching and dancing in the back of my head for these past few summer weeks. I've spent them with the two girls I babysit, on several job interviews and job fairs, and of course at NYC karaoke bars and two in the afternoon singing "I wanna dance with somebody". Okay, you didn't need to know that last part.
 I want to tell you that this is my I'm-sorry-I-haven't-posted post. Or my I'ma-promise-to-post-my-shitty-nails-now. Or my I'm-sorry-I-never-post-about-nail-polish-and-only-my-two-cats post. But your not stupid, or drunk. Okay scratch that last part, you need to get some help, its about time we talked about this.
Enough with the blog experimenting, the point of this post is to assure you that I will post at least once a day, but probably for the next few weeks I shall post all the pictures of the times that I DID do my nails and took pictures, which was quite often the past few months.
As I am sure all of you lovely ladies and two dudes know, magnetic nail polish is soaring and international and a big hit. Its in every CVS and Walgreens, comes in a variety of brands and I couldn't be happier. But alas, I am not going to blog about magnetic nail polish today, my last five thousand posts six years ago were, so I will give you something FRESH like Jamie Oliver.
Since I am taking a new job in september, I will no longer be working odd babysitting jobs or language lab jobs or teaching jobs, but rather I will have one job, benefits and weekends off. WEEEKENDS OFF means boozey brunch and shakey manicures, which means more posts. But it also means I will no longer be with my two favorite youngsters, the girls I babysit. SO I am letting them do whatever they want (as if you had any discipline with them-their mother). This includes drawing designs on my nails. And I have to say, even though I did the left hand, the 12 year old did a better job (figures.. ugh) than I did. She should start her own blog... at least she'd post every day after working 16 hours.. eep

Okay, This Manicure comes after one of my trips to American Apparel (Ugh I know I have a problem.. why do I support sex crazed hipster maniac companies.. oh  yeah your right) I loved these colors together, Crescent Heights (the green neonish color) and Angeline(this is a favorite amongst many bloggers) but since I was at work I couldn't really use any tools to combine them on my nails/I was lazy whatever don't judge. The girls have these cute nail pens, so we decided to alternate nail colors and draw random "tibetan/aztec" designs. At least thats what I told them they were. HAH kids will believe anything(okay they didn't believe me either).  Enjoy ;0

Daily Manicure: 7/16/11

While walking around Friday in NYC, I stumbled upon llamasqua's Poke ( a slightly muted but beautiful purple w shimmer) in a Sephora in Chelsea. I decided to paint over my blue shatter and white, because I had had it on for more than a day, and as I said in my last post, I didn't like how the white got distorted.

Aside from the fact that my ghetto ass didn't buy anything from Sephora and simply did a whole manicure, it actually came out half decent. Usually tester polishes are clumpy, and this one was bit clumpy also, but for the circumstances, I wanted to share the color and swatch. These are $14 dollars a bottle, so be prepared to hand over a larger chunk of change for these.

I also want to add that while at Sephora, I noticed that they have brought out red, turqouise and navy blue "blasted" shatter colors. They also have come out with new lines of nail stickers similar to their other ones called "nail bling", some of them have sparkles and lines and are clear at the same time, so you can paint your nails then put them on for a really cool design. They now have loose glitter in several colors, and NAIL ART PENS. I didn't get a chance to write down all of the prices of each new item, but its a fairly new thing, so go to Sephora ASAP to check it out. They probably range from $6-10, maybe even more. Also, if I were a betting woman I would put my money that they aren't the best quality, especially the stickers. The girl I babysit tried the nail pen, and actually it looked really cool, so I'll have to get one and draw obscene images for you guys.

Thanks for reading
