This is what’s on my nail now. I don’t really like it, but I thought I would share.

I’m right handed so this hand looks really bad. Horrible flower.

I need a better camera. This one taken with my Nexus One phone. Since I take all my pictures with either my Google phone or my Nokia N79, they never come out right (mainly the coloring). My Nokia takes wayy better pictures than my Nexus, as you can see.
I very rarely edit my pictures. I only either crop them or tone down my face if there’s too much shine/oiliness. Anyway, I think I’ll keep this design on for a day and think of something else. The color I’m using is Orly in Spark. It’s suppose to be a more hot corally pink color. The black and white is just acrylic paint. The glitter is from Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear.
I think this look is very childish and girlie. Ugh! I’m going to take it off after I post this.
^^

Gave my little York a buzz yesterday (actually the day before yesterday, it’s 6:30 am, I’ve been up since yesterday).

She had a ridiculous amount of matts in her fur. I brushed out the ones on her back, but she was not liking it. She had a lot on her little legs and chest. I didn’t want her to go through all the brushing, so I decided to start fresh. Took the clippers to her back, and snipped the rest. On her head, I left her beard and sides alone. She’s sooo tiny. Lol. Her little booty is like 3 inches wide. ^^

From a previous post. I cut a lot of hair off. With all the cutting I do for my two terriers, I should become a dog groomer!

Person #1: “Her ass was big only because of her hair.”
Person #2: “Wish I could say the same about myself.”
^^

Sorry I haven’t been posting any new entries. Been busy with life. Lol.

Naw…I’ve just been busy with school, finding a job, taking care of my babies (dogs), and being distracted with video games, YouTube, and television.

I picked my face about a two weeks ago. I was determined to get this stupid blackhead out/off my nose. I should know better to mess with it, and continue using exfoliators and treatment gels for those areas, but nooo…stubborn me just had to squeeze it out. Well, I ended up scarring my nose! I didn’t even get the stupid thing out! Errr. I have a brown spot on my nose now (post hyperpigmentation). Hopefully it’s just a crazy bruise that needs time to heal. It looks better than it did a week ago. *sigh.
I need to throw out my magnifying mirror.

I’ve been looking for jobs on Yahoo and Craigslist. Not much luck around where I am. I don’t want a job that I will hate, like an receptionist or something. So far, I just applied to PETCO and Sephora. I would LOVE to work at Sephora. ^^ Petco, not so much, but it’s something.
I should just do nails, but that’s my last option. I really don’t want to be doing people’s cracky-ass feet. Lol. No offense if you have that. =P I’m still on break of that.

I wish I had a Minx kit. It’s the “it” thing for nail design. Minx has been all over the magazines and websites for quite some time now. Alot of celebrities are into it. It’s like having a foil/sticker with a design on it glued to your nails. I want to learn the process of it and have my own kit real bad. ^^ Check it out: link or google images Minx. I love metallic nails.

I’ve been really hating the way I look (especially with the brown spot on my nose). I just feel fat, out dated, ugly, and old looking. Maybe I’m just being in a depressing, bitchy mood because of lack of sleep and mother nature’s gift to me coming soon.

I’ll get back to you guys when I have more inspiration for a real post. :)

A couple of weeks ago, I sat down in front of a mirror and just started playing with makeup. I’d put some one, take it off, then put some on. It repeated a lot. All these looks I did in one day, except the one where I’m wearing a green polo. That picture is in one of my recent posts..St. Patty’s makeup. The others were just for fun. Most of them I wouldn’t wear in public (unless I was a makeup artist at a counter like MAC). :P I would wear it if it was toned down, but here, I’m just having fun. ^^

I didn’t get any new makeup, but I do have a lot compared to the average women.
For the shadows, I used my Coastal Scents palettes (88 ultra shimmer & 88 piece), Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box, NYX Cosmestics Trio eye shadows, KatVonD True Romance Eyeshadow Palette in Beethoven.
For liners, I just used Rimmel Londons Soft Kohls, L’Oreal HiP Chrome, CARGO eyeliner powder palette, and Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes
For mascaras, I used either badGal Lash by Benefit and Supernova or Firebird Mascara..both by Fresh. I didn’t use the waterproof mascaras that I usually wear to keep my lashes curled because that would have been a pain to take on and off. Same reason why I didn’t apply false lashes, except on my St. Patty’s makeup since I was wearing that to school.
Lips, I used MAC, Relvon, tarte, NYX, and CARGO products.
Cheeks, Bare Escentuals, Coastal Scents 10 Piece Professional Blush Palette, and Rimmel London.
If you want to know specifics on any of the looks, feel free to ask me. ^^ I’ll try to remember what I used.

I used only half false lashes. I didn’t want to be even more over done than I was that day. Lol.

I had to walk the dogs after I was done with this one. Lol. I was scared I would run into some of the neighbors and they would think, “Whoa…cake face!” Sure enough, someone was out too walking their dog. I just walked pass them with my head down. Lol.

The only glitter I had was a glittery white shadow from my UDecay Sustainable palette. I applied a white shadow on the lids, blended grays and shimmery black into the crease and outer corners, then applied clear lipgloss over the white shadowed area, and packed on the glittery white shadow. My camera didn’t pick up how intense it really was.

I love purples and peaches together.

Clear lipgloss was also used here. Just dabbed over black shadow with my finger.

I said before I’m too lazy to make makeup tutorials, but I don’t mind blogging about looks. Eventually I will make more videos, but this is way easier.

More looks to come. ^^

My polish is lasting pretty good. It’s the polish I have on from the previous post. Today makes it 6 days. My nails have grown pretty long, so it was tempting to take my polish off and just re-polishing it with the same color. But I want to see how long this color will stay on. I’m sure it’s going to last longer now that I applied another coat of topcoat. That’s a tip, if your polish is applied correctly (from yourself or from a manicurist/nail tech) apply another coat of topcoat a few days later; it’ll make the color stay on longer and give your nails a boost of shine again.
(The picture above is the same polish as the picture below. It’s just different lighting).

I decided to bling up my nails by adding glitter. Lately I’ve been loving glitter on nails. Not on the entire nails though.
Here is just applied glitter to the corners on a diagonal. You know those glitter polishes you can get that have small flecks and big flecks of glitter…sometimes the big flecks are different shapes like hearts, stars, flowers, etc? I used one of those.
I just polished the path that I wanted first, then fished out the bigger flecks and dabbed it on.
Then I took craft paint, and added some light blue & black dots.
Then I painted on a few strokes of silver glitter polish.
Then added some curvy strokes of gold and dark blue glitter.
Add some gray dots following one of the gold strokes.
Finished with topcoat.
Yes, it’s going to be a bitch to take off, but that’s where I have pure acetone polish remover for.

Oh yeah, I think I jinxed myself. A friend asked if my nails were pretty much killed by all the pure acetone I’ve been using because I change my polish so much (everyday almost). I said “no” at the time. After a few weeks off wearing all the colors in the rainbow, my nails were getting weak. I switched to a non-acetone polish remover. It’s alot less harsh than straight up pure acetone. From now on, I’m just using the pure stuff for when I have to take glitters and glittered nail polishes off. Yeah, pure acetone is soooo much faster and easier to take any polish off, but it can really do some damage to your natural nails.
I also keep my polish on longer now.

In case if you were wondering, whenever I take my polish off to put on another, I don’t buff them nails. If I did that every time, my nails would be so thinned out and break off. I only buff them at the most, once a month. I have ridges on my nails, so when I do buff, I just buff the regrowth. So keep in mind, don’t buff too much on your natural nails, it thins them every time.

Acrylic craft paint is great for making designs. I got mine at Walmart in the craft/scrapbook section. They’re like a dollar each. You get a lot more product from these than you do with striping paint. And also, they’re water-based, so if you mess up, just wipe it off with a damp paper towel instead of having to take the polish off. ^^ I’ll think of more designs to do with just the craft paint later.

I’ve been taking random pictures with my camera phone lately. These are pictures I usually Tweet out (Twitter). Some are posted, some I had too much to say for Twitter’s character limit.
Don’t expect great photos. All my pictures on here and my entire blog is from my Nokia N79 & Google Nexus One.
Thought I share with ya. ^^

I am the perminator!! Did this a while ago. Spiral perms are soooo much fun! He he ugh…Took me forever! I didn’t even finish this one. If you didn’t already know, in beauty school, there are a certain amount of credits you need in each service (pretty much one credit per each service). Like mani & pedis, I need 20 (breeze). Hair coloring I need 20. Hair bleaching, 20. Perming & Relaxing…65. Ugh…
I thought to myself, maybe I should get one but with way bigger rods. My hair is so straight and bodyless. But I know if I were to get it, I would get sick of it after a week.

An updo I did yesterday. I think I’m okay at it…better than I thought I was. Wish I could do it to myself. I’m not good like that.

Color and partial foil application I did a week or two ago? Usually in school, we use deep conditioner to mimic bleach and gel to mimic color. It was fun using the real stuff. I did the color and highlights at the same time. The foils were alternated between bleach and color. I liked the technique my instructor, Brian showed. Applied color to a section of hair, put a foil on top of that with no folding of the sides, then weaved out a section of hair..applied bleach to that, slapped on foil..no folding of the sides, then applied color, foil, weave…apply bleach, foil, etc. I hate folding the sides in for highlighting, makes it a hassle to check if the lighting process if done.

Random pics of myself.

Car ride to further south of Naples. =)
My favorite pair of sunglasses. Got them from Urban Outfitters. My second pair of them. First pair broke, lost a screw in the sand on the Venice Beach, CA last year. Had to get other one. Like 15 bucks. Aviators are my favorite shape sunglasses. I think they work well with my face shape and I like the cushioning when it rest on my nose. Since the bridge of my nose is barely existence, I need thick/high/adjustable cushions.
What I wore to school for St. Patty’s day. The bow is actually Kiwi’s bow (my yorkie). Lol. I teased the crap out of my hair. You can’t really tell because I didn’t leave it all crazy high. (Pet Peeve: seeing girls with teased hair so high and poufy that the actual teased parts show. No Bueno!) After I was done, I felt like a teenagers. Lol. Texted my sister a picture and she thought I looked cute. I had my nails done too. Deleted the picture. I just had different purples on, five colors from dark purple to light.

Commander in Chic! My new favorite color to be obsessed with. It’s from Sally Hansen, Salon Complete collection. Gray + Beige = Greige. It’s a trendy color. I love it!!!!
Similar colors (lighter & darker): Essie in Mink Muffs, Chinchilly, and Jazz. OPI in You Don’t Know Jacques & Over the Taupe

Kiwi not liking car rides.

Only recently did Kiwi start panting because it’s getting warmer. She’s soo fricking cute when she pants. Her tongue cups. ^^ When she’s not panting, she looks like a mean, stuck up bitch. Lol. When she does pant, she looks innocent, sweet, and playful.
Agh…she makes my heart melt.

I don’t see these flowers in MI too much at all. Just outside my apartment door.

Bad Kiwi. She had a little accident on a rug in the bathroom. I was pissed! And she knew it! So she tried to hide in the closet. Lol. I was soo angry, but smiled inside. Damn her and her cuteness!

Random nail designs I wore for like an hour and was tired of it. I was going to make a tutorial, but didn’t think it was worth it.

Kratos is badass! You may not hear from me for a while after this post. :P I am loving this game! Didn’t finish beating God of War 1 and 2 but after playing this…I don’t think I want to. the graphics are sweet and the fighting is awesome as always. The finishing moves are bloody and fun. Game is frustrating a lot of times, which makes is worth it. The weapons are great. The fighting sequences are better. The movie scene fighting is blended with the freestyle fighting more. There is alot more boobie action. I don’t mind it, but not a plus for me. Lol. I think the story line is good too. Kratos doesn’t show any mercy. If you betray him once, he’ll slice your throat if you ask for forgiveness. Lol.
After you beat the game, you can play it with armor collected from all the Gods you’ve beaten. There’s different levels of difficulty of course.
Definitely a game worth getting!

Got a new toy for Coop. He started playing with it for a few minutes and the back started to tear. Whoever sewed it, didn’t do so well. I never took any sewing classes (In junior high school, we had Tech Ed [learned about pulleys and levers type stuff] and Home Ec), but I can sew a button on or fix a tear. So I sewed the back up. Then I decided to sew a heart on it. :P Cute huh? I’m quite proud of it for not having any real sewing skills. Got the idea that maybe I could make dog toys. Maybe…

There’s so much I want to do…*sigh.
