currently keeping me satisfied

She's no Christian (bf), she enjoys scratching my stomach, and she smells like fish, but she'll do for now. :)

OPI Ginger Bells

What a weird color. That's why I like it.


My nails are growing out quite nicely. I've been using Sally Hansen's Miracle Growth n/p and it seems to be working quite well. It cost me around 9 dollars at Walgreens. For that price, it should be working a damn miracle haha.



*sigh* I miss my boyfriend. :(
I really really hate his recruiter right now... he was supposed to give me the address to write to my bf last week, and I still haven't received it. UGH.

Anyways, I have another FOTD sitting on my camera so I'll upload that at some point...

an old favorite FOTD

This is one of my favorite looks! I like it because it's bright yet not too colorful...
I'm wearing my favorite shirt as well! It comes up in a lot of my FOTD posts. It's perfect for a casual yet sophisticated outing. :)

saying goodbye..

Is so hard... mind-crippling hard.
My bf joined the Marines a few months ago and yesterday he left for basic training. I'm having an extremely hard time accepting it. But it was his choice and I support it.

Anyways, I'll be posting a lot of random crap just to get my mind off of it.

Here's ChG Fortune Teller:

It's alright. Sort of over hyped... then again I don't prefer dark colors on me. And it's a fucking bitch to take off, even with pure acetone.
I had FT with ChG Matte Magic over it on my toes. I really liked it.. I think I prefer it matte.
Does anyone else think it's ridiculous how small the ChG MM is?! It's freakin' tiny. And it's around $5... come on, China Glaze. I had to buy two bottles just because it was so tiny.

And here's a lip combo I thought was cute.

NYX Pinky l/l and Pink Poodle l/g.
The NYX l/l is awesome quality. Pigmented and glides on effortlessly. And it only cost me $2.

Random crap, eh?
Time to go listen to The Beatles and mope around...

7 black things

I was tagged by Cheryl. Go check out her blog- her posts are awesome!
Her tag was for white items, but I don't have that many white things, so I just did black.

I decided to treat myself a little by painting my nails, since I haven't done them for a while.

Short nails make Clara sad :(
This is OPI Sand In My Suit. Gorgeous color!

My boyfriend decided to be a good sport and let me do his nails. He likes when I shape and buff them, haha, but I decided to take it a step further and add some Konad. I chose plate M38 for his love of wine even though these are champagne glasses... shh :)



Lol, cute, huh? :)
And just to show how much he loved having his nails done:

What a trooper!

inspirations

Something a bit different for you today! :)
These are some of my biggest inspirations, and when I'm in a makeup rut (which I usually am), I look to these photos to give me ideas.

(I hope these girls don't mind that I used their photos... if anyone does, please tell me and I'll take it down.)

Those are just a few. I hope you check these talented girls out, and get inspired as well! :)

cutesy nails

I did this konadicure before I cut my nails extremely short (which are shaping up nicely, the stains and ridges are growing out! hooray!). Butterflies aren't really my 'style' but the colors made it a bit more me! I liked this mani :)

smokey look

I was trying to kind of recreate the look I got during my SB makeover (which I didn't like very much, hee hee) but I actually like this! For once, I wouldn't be afraid to wear this in public, even though I have black/purple sparkly disco balls on my eyelids :)
