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.

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,
