NOTD: Pastel Half Moon Mani & New Camera!

Hey you guys!! How have you all been?! Me, well I have been busy like crazy! As some of you may know, I recently released my Valentine's Day collection and now I am working on my Spring collection!
While I was coming up with some concoctions, I got inspired to do a pastel mani!

This was my first time doing a half moon mani, but I like it :) I used OPI Pink Friday, China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint ( though I think I got a bad bottle because it doesn't look like my other bottle of Re-Fresh Mint) and finally Essie Nice is Nice.

Also!! I got a new camera! A Nikon D600 with a 60mm lens :) I posted a picture on Instagram last night because I was so excited! hehe. So look forward to better pictures and new polishes!!

Thanks everyone!! ♥ ya ;)

My New Hair!!

I finally went blonde... sort of ;)

So I finally did it, got some dang highlights. Originally I wanted to go full blonde with multiply highlights in different shades through out it, but my hairdresser said it would be too much damage to my hair.

Though I love the color, I HATE the length :( I had to cut off 6 inches! 6 INCHES! It took me about 4 years to finally get my hair to grow as long as I wanted it to. After a couple years of rocking platinum blonde, my hair would not grow for anything, or it would but would break off. I was stuck at shoulder length for a looong time.

So after going back to my roots, (brunette) I got it to grow pass the boobs! hehe. But then my annoying urge to go blonde ruined it all...

My hair was long, but not healthy. And definitely not healthy enough to bleach it, so she gave me two choices: Go long and brown, or short and blonde. I picked the blonde. *shakes head*

Another part of it, is the hair cut. I told her I was going to get it styled else where and for her to just cut off what she needed to. So she did, but I never went to get it styled :( So my hair is currently cut straight across! hehe

My bf did not like that at all! He said he would rather have had me with long and brown hair. 

So from my calculations, I should be back to my spot in 12 months! Fingers crossed everyone!

Oh and the nail polish I'm wearing is one I made! It's a teal glitter top coat applied on top of Milani Fresh Teal.

Until next time! Oh and I am building my 300 giveaway as we speak, or type. ;)

Random Instagram Pics :)

Here I made a little collage from random Instagram pics I had in my phone. I no longer have dark LONG brown hair anymore, oh how I regret it cutting it. I got blonde highlights and had to cut my hair 6 inches! The bf did not approve :( hehe.

Speaking of bf, I found an old picture of us from my high school prom at my moms, the pic was from 12 years ago. Holy, I just realized that, that's a looooong time ago, and we're still together! The last pic in my Instagram collage is of my fabulous Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, oh how I adore thee :)

Thanks for looking!

♥♥ NOTD: Hello Kitty Nails!! ♥♥

Hola! Here are my Hello Kitty Nails, I did them a couple of days ago so they are a little chipped...

What do you think?!

NOTD: Different Shades of Gray!

Me again! I've been exploring some more with colors and textures. Here I used a couple different greys or grays, which ever spelling you prefer ;)

I love the way the OPI Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous applies. Nice and smooth with full coverage. I usually don't like that shade of gray against my skin tone, but having the other colors also on my nail made it work for me :)

Well here ya go! Let me know what you think!

Happy Memorial Day everyone!!!
