Just another day in Paradise... Belated Fashion Friday

Gosh so I know I'm really bad at doing these dang things on time, and I could say I forgot (which I did) I could say I got lazy (which I did) or I could say that I just have other things on my mind (which I do), So instead I will apologize and continue to try better. Anyways... Lately I have been really into the 50's stuff, like pinups, cat eyes, all that jazz. So I put together a small Fashion Forward outfit. Please pardon the photography I'm really not good at doing it myself. And my sisters seemed to be too busy to assist me, so I concurred this via solo. So I only got top shots. But all I was wearing was jeans and my sandals, nothing fancy, because today I was not feeling fancy. I was feeling laid back cute. Which this shirt is. I found it as a cover up from Kmart and hated how it was like a tent. So i stitch up the front and made a cute shirt. Which I love.

What Im wearing:
Shirt ~ Kmart
Bracelets ~ Premier Designs
Rings ~ Forever 21
Glasses ~ Forever 21
Earrings ~ Premier Designs

Hope you liked it everyone!!! Have a fabulous weekend, and I will see you all Monday. Because I have my first ever makeup tutorial coming out. I promise. I already have it ready to show you!!! EEEP! I hope it looks good. lemme know! And I may do more!

...I can only please one person per day. Today I chose me...

My nails drip with hate: A Nail DIY

Hello everybody! So due to the inconvenience my computer wont let me upload a software to compress my videos. ugh... its been a hard few days, I'm emotionally exhausted. But my camera still works, so I did a nail diy for you all, to compensate for what I haven't been doing. So onto the doing of the fancy smancy nails!!!

start with clean and buffed nails.

Next cover your nail with a nail base coat. Then cover your whole nail in red.

Now to make the dripping part treat it like a manicure. make a line across the top of your nail.

Then make dots, these will be guidelines for your dripping. 

Finally take a dotting tool ( I made mine by taking a nail and sticking it into the end of a pencil, works great!) and drag the line to the dot, this makes the dripping image.

And now your done!!! Hope you enjoyed it! Later I will be posting Fashion Friday! Stay tuned!!!!

...Those who care, don't matter. Those who matter, don't care...

Its gonna be a Black Tie Affair... Nails DIY

Alright everyone. Thank you for being patient with me, but here is your Nail DIY! This one is a bit classier and I think it looks fabulous. It makes me feel like I should be holding some cider in one hand (I don't drink) and in a long elegant dress. Preferably black and sparkly. I hope that set the mood for you.

Start off with buffed and clean nails. Per usual.

Next cover your whole nails with a nude or light pink color. I found that the lighter pink gives it a better contrast than a nude.  Let this completely dry! No joke if it's still wet it will come off later. Go read a book, ponder life's greatest mysteries, or if your a college student like me, study for your 5 finals that week.

Now take small pieces of tape and make a little triangle on the base of your finger tips. Meaning use the corners of the tape for this manicure, not a flat edge.

Take a black color, I like mine with a little shimmer, and cover the tips of your nails, the tape will prevent it from getting on the base of your nail. Let this dry. Now go watch a television program, write a novel... anything that wont mess up your nice nails.

Now that its all dry slowly and carefully remove your tape. Once they are all removed, trace the line the black and the pink made with a nail pen (white). and voila a tuxedo classy nail look. I like this more than a regular french, It screams "I'm classy and I know it!"

Okay so now that this in a bit I will be posting the Ponytail look for today. Keep it classy ladies and gents!

...The first step to looking fabulous, is sparkles...

Spring Fling

Well hello everyone! Who is glad it is Friday? I am. Because for me it means only two more days left of school! I only have classes Tuesday and Thursday which means the other days I have to study and relax. Three finals left till my summer freedom!  So to celebrate I wore my new favorite dress. Now before this I have never been a maxi dress fan. I have always thought short dress were cute and flirty and maxi dresses just seemed so... what word am I looking for? Uh... OH!!! They are just too dressy. Like something you wear to a dance or and ball or something, not something for an everyday thing.  But then I watched my favorite show Gossip Girl (I know I'm addicted!!!) and I saw Serena wear the prettiest maxi dress and I decided I needed one. So I searched everywhere looking for the perfect maxi and then before Christmas this last year I found one and I fell in love.
Now for me if something is expensive I wont buy it. I am HUGE when it comes to savings cause for me that means more clothes or accessories or ANYTHING!!! The more I can save the more new additions to my wardrobe I will be coming home with. (and each new edition is like a new baby for me to add to my family). So here we are with this outfit and lemme tell you... I got some steals ;) Oh and a special thanks to my photographer my little sister, Kelli! XOXO

Alright so as you can see I have basically worn everything I have shown you this week. My blue tipped nails and my no heat waves.

The second star to the right... a nail DIY

Alright, so I couldn't resist! I was surfing pinterest, or stumble or some site and I saw these ombre nails! and I thought they kinda looked like the sky at night, but they need some sparkles. Every sky needs stars right? I was gonna wait but I got so excited and wanted to share my new discovery. Okay so I did these nails and one hand took my 5 minutes! Heck yes!!! So here we have a step by step, with pictures this time, of ombre nails!!! P.S thx to Kelli for the pictures! XOXO

 Heres the break down of stuff I used! :)
~NYC Purple Pizzazz Frost, - Purchase Amazon
~Love and Beauty Charcoal, - Purchase Amazon
~Love and Beauty Sparkles - Forever 21

Start your nails off plain, buffed and rounded.  Apply a base coat generously.

Next I painted my nails with NYC purple pizzazz frost. Just one coat though. After the purple coat dries completely apply the black to the base of your nail. apply the black to the bottom third of your nail not to thick though. then make sure most of the nail polish is off the black brush by wiping it on the mouth of the black polish bottle. Take the brush (while the black polish is still wet) and brush the black toward the tip of your nail. the second third of the nail, or to the middle.  Let this dry completely!

Now for the stars. I took beauty sparkles from forever 21 and covered my whole nail with this. This will blend and hide any mistakes on your nails! Now you have the galazy in your hands. Well on your nails.

 This is one of my new favorite nail decorations! more to come though, I have become obsessed!!! AHHH! So if you have an idea for hair or nails or clothes, email me! And Ill do a tutorial for it! till next time!! Have a wonderful Thursday!

...wish upon a star, I dare you...

Manicure Mondays!

Okay so from now on i will do a step by step on how to do these creations. for this bare with me I forgot I got so excited and then I was done. Oops. Anyways....

In this photo I used

• Joan Rivers BEAUTY: seashell, CVS
• Sally Hansen INSTA-DRI (I am impatient ) : Brisk Blue, CVS
•  Sally Hansen FRENCH MANICURE PEN: pure white tip

Okay so to get this look, its very simple and super easy and cute.

1. Buff and File your nails to preferences i like slightly rounded
2. Put a base coat on. It will help your nail hold the paint better
3. Cover your whole nail with a base color ( I like Seashell its a natural color with a shimmer). Let this dry completely.
4. paint the very tip of your nail with the color you want. (I used Brisk Blue) let this dry completely
5. Finally i dotted the line between the two colors with my manicure pen for contrast. Cover in a top coat and voila classy nails.

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial! Happy Monday!
