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. ^^
All pictures clickable.

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.

I cut my nails short ’cause the long was getting annoying. Specially since I’ve been cooking and baking alot. Recipes later. =P So here’s a tutorial on this look. The colors of this look kind of reminds me of a gypsy. Anywho…enjoy! =)

Cleaned my nails with alcohol. One coat of Base Coat. Two coats of a bluish seagreen polish. I used Essie in Greenport.

I painted two thin coats of an iridescent-ish purple diagonally in the center. Then a shimmery sheer teal overlapping half the purple, then bringing the it down to the rest of that side. If you click on the picture to enlarge, you’ll see what I mean. On my other hand, I did the same but mirrored it. I used Sally Hansen HD Nail Color in Cyber & China Glaze in Beauty and the Beach (LOVE this color, goes great on top of other colors).

Then I painted a dark, shimmery navy-blue curve on the side of my nails. Don’t worry about it being perfect. Just focus on getting a nice curve when you polish. I started at the middle of my nails, at my cuticles, and swerved it down the side. I used Essie in Midnight Cami.

With a brush (french brush/an old eyeshadow brush with a sharp edge), clean the sides with polish remover. Pure Acetone works faster and better. With striping paint in a similar color, I touched up the curve, making the lines cleaner and sharper.

With black striping paint, I made four diagonal lines on the corner, opposite of the blue curve. Make sure you make your lines spaced out a bit. How many lines to paint depends on how long your nails are.

Paint the equal amount of lines diagonally towards the opposite direction, overlapping the ones you just made. Like cross-hatching.

This isn’t really necessary, but I like adding depth. I like sneaking in colors, even if you can’t see it much in the end. So I painted three more lines following the black with a dark lavender purple striping paint.

With a shimmery gold/silver/white, I placed dots on where the black intersected. So where you see a square shape, you would dot the corners. I also much blue glitter over the blue curve to give it more life. Top with topcoat. I don’t have any rhinestones or pearls, but I think this look would look even better with tiny pearls instead of the dotted paint.

Hope you like it! ^_^
