I’m back! Kinda…

We have internet! Actually we’ve had it for a while, I’ve just been very very busy.  I’m so behind! I’ve got a lot of things to post and share and stuff. I have so much going on in general. I don’t even know where to start. I suppose news and such would be a good place to start. well as good as any, anyway.

What’s new with me… We’re going through a bit of a hard time here, myself and my family. There’s family drama but the biggest problem is finances, or lack of. However we’ll get by we always do. I (finally) started college!! Okay so it’s a lame community college but it’s a start. I am currently taking basic classes to get them out of the way before transferring to a more expensive school. However I’m not 100% sure where I’m going to transfer or what I’m going to major in once I get there. I’ll figure it out eventually.  I’m only going part time so it’s gonna take twice as long as if i went full time. I don’t think I could handle it and a job though. I’m having a hard time keeping up with the homework as it is in fact.  I wonder if they can teach me to manage my time better. I have learned one thing though, the more homework I have, the more I like coffee.

Right now I have a lot going on but I also have a lot of stuff I’d like to post here. So here’s a short-ish list of what to look forward to:

  • Video Game reviews/ games I’m loving right now
  • Halloween stuff (maybe)
  • product reviews
  • recopies I’m loving
  • much more

Right now though I’m going to leave you with this cute nail tutorial from IHaveACupcake. It’s a K-pop inspired nail design using black, white, and gray nail polish. It was inspired by the k-pop group Super Junior. For more info on the tutorial it’s self see the video’s description on youtube.

Here’s my take:

It’s a little blurry sorry. I don’t know if you can tell but I didn’t follow the tutorial exactly though pretty close. The exact products for this tutorial aren’t listed and I probably wouldn’t have used any of them anyway. I tend to keep my nails done on the cheap.  No $8 bottles of nail polish here. If you do it you too of course can use any products you like but if you want here’s what I used:

  • Grey- Pure Ice – 541CP Kiss Me Here ($ 2)
  • White – Sally Hansen Insta-Dri – 02 Whirlwind White ($3.50)
  • Black – Wet-n-Wild Fastdry – 229C Ebony Hates Chris ($1.60)
  • Base- Sally Hansen Continuous Treatment – Growth (got this on clearance for $3! Normally it is $6-8!)
  • Top Coat – Sally Hansen Hard as nails – Strengthening top coat ($2.50)

The rhinestones and brushes I used both came off ebay.  I know you can find comparable items at walmart, kmart, etc or your local craft store. They don’t have to be for your nails most rhinestones will work as well as most synthetic paintbrushes. Experiment and see what works for you. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I am by no means an expert nor do I claim to be but I will be happy to help in anyway I can.

*disclaimer*

All products were bought and paid for by me with my own money. I am by no means sponsored by any of these companies. All prices are estimates based on what I paid for them.

 

Anyway that’s all for now,

Friday Night Lifeless

   Once again I went into work thinking that I was only going to work a couple hours and once again I was wrong. If I got of work early enough I was planning on going to Jess’s graduation party but it didn’t happen…sort of. I ended up going home at 10:45 ish because we ran out of numbers. I had a couple texts and stuff but I didn’t read them till I got home. One was from Jess telling me to come up after work. Also Mom and the kids had just come from there when they picked me up from work which I found out a little late. Oh well it was kinda late anyway. Though at that time I was surprised that I wasn’t kept even longer and just switched to another job that was supposed to be done 2-3 days ago. I am glad that I wasn’t.

    I’m looking forward to the next H. party. I’m gonna put stuff together to take with me. I’m not sure I’m gonna take a mask or anything like that. I’m gonna take my nail polish off in a little while in preparation of manicures I think I might skip the pedicures though. I can’t wait to get the nail art stuff and eye shadow pallet I ordered. We could have quite a bit of fun with that stuff. I really hope it all turns out well. Demonstrations of the nail art stuff looks easy enough but so did the nail marbling which we never did quite figure out. I think I was starting to get the hang of it but it didn’t turn out. Oh well. I’ll do a review of the nail art stamp set and the eye shadow pallet as when I get them.
Pictures!
