My Experiments with Water Marbling My Nails ... so far :)

It turns out I'm not that good a cook.
Haha, I'm kidding. I cook fine. Mind you if I had burned myself, trust me I wouldn't be blogging. Finger poking posts sounds painful...
But anyhoo, this is my prep before dunking my fingers into my water marble design :) A lot of people have said that they still don't manage to avoid getting nail polish on their fingers. The way I do it I manage to only get it under my nails so... I millionth that. Of course me being me I also manage to get it on my wrist or something and every time it's a mystery as to how it got there.

I apologize but this happens to be the best shot I could get of this particular nail. It's about time cameras come with a makeup/nail polish setting. But yes, this is my favorite water marble so far, I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. My next manicure is going to be this x10 (and with better pictures -_-).

Sorry if these are a little busted, I did them in a rush to show you guys how many options you have with water marbling. It's really on you. You can play around until you find something you like. You should definitely mess around with colors until you find a combination you like.

That all until next time :)

SPOTTED: 2NE1 - I AM THE BEST Choreography Video (Also some rambling and Nail Art)

For 2NE1 related section scroll until you see... 2NE1.

I'm back! Well ACTUALLY, I came back maybe a couple of days ago but you know... my blog is only 1, we're not power-bloggers :D. When we turn two maybe we'll blog on our phone the moment we land in JFK but this time around I had to wash plane ick off and take a random nap and then hibernate. I also ate Lemoncello cake which was mind you, very good and I'm still craving it :O. Seriously, I need to get back into my workout schedule or I'm just going to keep eating Friendly's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and painting my nails (true story). Water marbling actually. Inspired by...




and then sent here...



At this point I was lost and am still lost. It's just so much fun and I when I do my nails normally I always bang them somewhere while they're drying or something mysterious happens and they get screwed up. Or they get the fabric print of my comforter embedded on them, you know when I go to sleep because I think they're dry? Not so with this method. Sure my expensive $10 Sephora by O.P.I. nail polish remover is half gone thanks to my experimentation/addiction but I mean I think I only used half of the half and the other half was already used by my nieces, sisters, and once in a while, me. Also that sunny sheet set I got from... hm... from one of those department stores, they all blend together in my mind because I associate them with suffering and getting lost. But anyhow, the sheet now has a seemingly unremovable nail polish streak. Well a few, fine. Oh and the rug is also a casualty. That's the second nail polish stain on my rug. My niece won't forget it which would depressing if I liked the rug but I don't. She claims that I dropped the nail polish which I did not, the nail polish fell. There's also a cup which I may or may not be able to remove the nail polish off of but I've just decided it's my water marbling cup.

That said, I've been considering posting my current Youtube tutorial obsessions on this blog too since there's a lot but that's for another post.

As for taking pictures while on vacay, heheh, that didn't go too well but the huge post part I can cover. Anyone (anyone out there? lol jk ;P) who reads my blog can attest to that.

Anyhoo...

I was watching the 2NE1 Choreography vid for I AM THE BEST which is the best thing since my last 2NE1 obsession (Go Away), and I'm sure someone has put this on their blog centuries before me but I couldn't remember if they did so I just searched it up and decided I'd put it here.

Kreepsville 666 - Skeleton Print Skinny Jeans - $73.58
CL was spotted wearing these in the video and aren't they awesome? Didn't Jeremy Scott do a pair of sweatpants along the same lines? I think I prefer the skinny jeans though. Definitely a good way to make a pair of plain black skinnys pop.

S College Letterman Jacket White (Yes, I'm also scratching my head) - $?
This one it might be better to see in motion cause aside from the fact that it's name is uninspiring (maybe because I found it in the catalog), it looks very boring here...



That was fun, wasn't it? I think the pushing around backup dancer thing tends to be overdone in choreography overall but hey, it's better than making irritating cutesy faces/expressions which seems to be the other popular option. But yeah I've been on the hunt for a letterman jacket and naturally Adidas has the perfect one. Of course I can't find it on their site; they say to look for it in a store. Maybe I'll check out the Soho store. I mean it would be nice to get a price on it to begin with.

And now I'm going to have to do an Adidas post. And an Asos post but that I blame on the fact that I decided to check my email.

Ta!

Hair and Makeup Inspiration Post

So, I hit 1000 views! I noticed I was close to the mark so I was thinking to do a post in celebration but I didn't expect to have to do it so soon :) Thanks, viewers! If you follow the blog, say hi in the comments section! Also, if anyone has suggestions or requests: comments section!

So in celebration, I'm going to do another inspiration post. If I survive that, I'll do an outfit post :)

Hair and Makeup. In the same sub-folder of my inspiration folder (labeled... Hair n Makeup lol).

Pic from Kstyle
(I've been following this ^ blog since the beginning of my fashion love affair and I definitely recommend checking it out.)

I doubt I'll ever go blond since I have an irrational (or maybe not that irrational) suspicion that going blond will lead to my face matching my hair. Obviously my face isn't the color of CL's hair in this picture but still, you don't have to match exactly to blend, you have to be in the ballpark. If you want to know how many other of these odd quirks I have, ask my best friend.
The point is, I like her pigtails. I like how they're lower on the side of her head and more towards the back as well as the side part and side-swept bangs. The length seals the deal.

Pic from Karmaloop

These are like my favorite waves. Wave perfection. I also like the lowlights.

Pic from Fashionising

This color I would consider and have considered. Of course any hair-dying pondering usually ends in, but I like my hair color/I don't want to damage my hair. If I ever did it I'd probably go for temporary (as in one day) :D
Again, awesome side-part and it's really cool how the hair on the side is swept to the front.

Pic from Fashionising

This clearly doesn't inspire me, but it makes me extremely happy. I don't really like Keira Knightley but this is just awesome.

Pic from Daily Makeover

I'm subscribed to Daily Makeover, it's one of those things you never remembered subscribing to yet check the emails. I find a large portion of the emails terribly irritating but some of them are interesting so I didn't unsubscribe. Wait, that's not true. I was just lazy. Still am.
Brandy's eye make-up is perfect. I haven't tried this out yet but it's on my to-try list. Actually her hair and makeup is just perfect in general in this pic. As for Heather Morris, I really like her but that hairstyle is not doing it for me.

Pic from either Kstyle or Eiffel in Seoul (?)

I really like how Minzy's hair is flipped outwards. It's also a very cute hair color. And let's not forget the Star Wars hat <3 I also really like that lip color; it looks really good on her. As for the eye makeup, 2NE1 tends to nail the eyeliner pretty well.

Whoa, I'm done! I think I'll do an outfit post :)
