Fun Nail Friday!

I am so confused.

Late last week and early this week, the weather in LA was like this:

So naturally I got into a Summery mood and painted my nails like this:

swirls

swirls = summer. just fyi

But then the day after I painted my nails the weather started being like this (not as sunny and 70 degrees):

So I just don’t even know what to say to you guys right now. And they say Seattle has the highest rate of SADD. :-p

Have a great weekend!

 

Fun Nail Friday!

This one’s for the Moms–

The very ladies that stayed up with you when you were sick, that bought you your first pair of jellies, that hid your cell phone bill from your dad, that went prom dress shopping with you, that comforted you when you tried to shave your legs for the first time, that signed all your school papers, that kept all of your secrets, that saved you the best desserts, and that loved you NO MATTER WHAT. :)

Have a great weekend & if you’re lucky enough to be able to hug your mom, do it.

Lashes At A Price

How many of you have ever had eyelash extensions? Don’t you feel so fab in them for the week until they fall off, leaving you sad and lashless?

You might want to return those Groupons for extensions, because I just read a scary article about this trend!

As is the case with almost any beauty trend, eyelash extensions pose a risk. Experts say that eyelash extensions have obvious benefits, but carry hidden risks, such as infection, allergic reactions, irritation, and loss of your actual lashes. Yikes! Apparently, some adhesive formulas include formaldehyde. They shouldn’t, but still do. I think I’m a formaldehyde hypocrite. I love what it does to my hair via Brazilian Blowouts, but I don’t want it anywhere near my eyes.

When I had eyelash extensions done last year before a big trip, I loved what they did. I could head out for the day without needing to do anything to my face, which obvi is an amazing feeling. But, about 10 days later when the extensions started to fall out, I noticed that I had very little natural lash left. It was yucky, man. And unless you choose to get your lashes touched up, they’re gonna be short and stubby for a few weeks! Eyelash extensions are expensive, and therefore not really my cup of tea. I enjoyed it while it lasted, though.

What are your thoughts on Hollywood’s most recent beauty scare?

Fun Nail Friday!

Happy Friday!

Other than a happy springtime mani, nothing quite gets me through the day like a celebrity arrest video. Reese Witherspoon may be America’s sweetheart, but you should know that she is first and foremost, AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. When she and her husband were pulled over for drunk driving, she got on her soapbox and started scolding the policemen for their cruel intentions. Good thing they didn’t make her walk the line, because homegirl was just not havin’ it. You know, if she was arrested in sweet home Alabama and not in Georgia, her charm may have worked. Oh well. Hopefully she learned something from her time as Elle Woods and won’t be spending four christmases in jail. Enjoy!

Anyway, here’s what I did this week with my sweet, sweet freedom:

Stay out of trouble, kids!

 

Fun Nail Friday!

I think I’ve screamed this from enough mountaintops that everybody around me knows: I DO NOT ENJOY THE PRESENCE OF CATS. There you go, Internet. I don’t. I’m severely allergic, and I don’t like how mean they are (a cat very badly scratched all of my fingers when I was 4) or how much they sometimes hate being touched (you have fur. I’m going to touch you. Deal.)

Like anyone else, I really enjoy a cat from the comfort of my computer screen. My favorite I.C.C. (Internet Celebrity Cat) is of course, Tardar Sauce. Better known as: Grumpy Cat! I have respect for Grumpy because at least she doesn’t pretend to be all cute and cuddly and then shred your fingers up. Just one look at her face and you’d know to keep your distance. Fun fact: Did you know that Tardar Sauce has a form of feline dwarfism, which causes her face to be in a permanent frown? I don’t like knowing that small animals have “conditions,” but at least she’s getting her 15 minutes of fame now.

Anyway, bring on the cat nails!

How’d I do, Tardar?

Sigh. I’ll get it right one day.

Until then, have a great weekend!! :)

Fun Nail Friday!

Hey guys!

It’s been awhile since there was a movie out that I actually wanted to see, so I’m really excited to check out “42″ this weekend! I’m sure it’ll be a tearjerker.

So on that note…here’s a pic I snapped recently at the new Dodgers stadium! The ravine has never looked better :)

As always, have a great weekend and Go Dodgers!

Fun Nail Friday!

Hey guys!

I’m super excited to be attending the original Renaissance Pleasure Faire on opening day tomorrow!! I can hardly wait. Mead, turkey legs, wenches galore! So I decided to bring back a nail look from when I was obsessed with another medieval phenomenon, The Tudors. Leave it to Showtime to pique my interest in sleazy disease-y Kings!

Maybe I’ll pick up some beauty tips from the Middle Ages…leech facial anyone?

How about another thing those medieval dummies knew nothing about: Stars! We need to thank our lucky stars that Copernicus came into the picture, because seriously, astronomy is hard.

Whoa, is there some bloodletting going on here? It’s crazy sometimes, all the residual polish goo that glitter polishes have!

Well that is all for now! Go out and enjoy your Fridays!

Fun Nail Friday!

Hey you!

I must say, it’s shaping up to be a very good Friday indeed!

I decided to really bring it this week, since Easter comes but once a year. Please enjoy the fruits of my labor:

That bunny is SO smug. He loves that it took me 4 tries to paint his damn face!

I also just learned how to paint little roses, which by the way are SO easy, so I’m really feeling good about myself right now. (Just let me have this, okay??) :)
One of the good things about this season is the abundance of pastels. Especially pastels + glitter? LOVE!!!

I hope you enjoy your Easter weekend and make the most of whatever reason you celebrate the season (whether it be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ or celebrating bottomless Mimosas at your local brunch haunt).

ALOHA!

Have you ever tried Mood Polish? This one is blue in the sun and purple in the shade. So cool!

Wow, does that leave me to be this week’s resident dark cloud? I’m wearing my favorite OPI shade, “You Don’t Know Jacques!” so I’m okay with that :)

AN found a “Jacques” twin at Target! Anyone ever try e.l.f. [eyes lips face] brand polish? Good to know there’s a cheaper way to get my favorite shade :)

AN nails march 22Enjoy your first weekend of Spring!
