Catch-up and a lil update...

So it's been a while huh? There's been lots going on in my life... one big thing is school. I recently got an internship position (yay! My boss noticed I do my nails a lot so hopefully that means I can get away with a little bit more not as conservative manis at my internship hehe...) and so my schedule is way way packed then it has been before... There's actually days where I start class at 9 and have back to back classes till 5:45..*sigh* Im taking 6 classes, still work part time and I have my internship and im thinking of joining the accounting club again ;) busy bee this semester! Enough talk about me though, I've had loads of mani's I didn't post so here's just a compilation of all the recent mani's I've done but have neglected to post.....

Obnoxious people made me bust out my manglaze...

Woa.. long time no post ;) ... anyways I'm starting to get back on track with school so expect to see more posts.. and yes once my paycheck comes in I'll be posting the next giveaway up... so onto the manicure.. In one of my management classes there's this obnoxious lady...and boy oh boy did I get irritated by her...every dang thing the professor said she would giggle or make some irrelevant comment that drove me NUTS!!! I'm so glad I'm not in her group for groupwork...*thanks god for small favors* lol...anyways this is going to sound really bad...but the first thing I thought of was Man Glaze- Fuck off and Dye..... I dont mean any ill will to her [other then like a sore throat so she wont say anything inclass maybe...] but seriously this was the mani related thought that came to mind..so this one's for you obnoxious lady from my class..hahah

So I did different "designs" on my hands but the idea was the same..and the same sentiment too.... haha...

On my right hand I did two coats of Matte is Murder..cuz seriously..murderous thought were swimmin in my head every time she giggled....no joke... but this color is sooooo awesome...manglaze is just the bomb dot com....i just adore their matte polishes...

Next on my left hand i put on Man Glaze's Fuck off and Dye...such a pretty pink... Its just so lovely ;)

Then I layered China Glaze- Broken hearted on top of matte is murder and cracked concrete on top of fuck off and dye...and thats it... thank goodness I'm not in the same group as ms.obnoxious.. >.< I sit in the back of the class to avoid her as much as possible...

P.S go check out ManGlaze on facebook HERE ... they have pretty amazing stuff...if you have never tried a matte polish trust me..Manglaze is the way to go...

Halloween-ish nails, Jewerly ideas, and Toki Doki ^_^

First off have y'all entered my giveaway yet? Enter Here~ ... Ok.. So it's been a crazy week...just when I finish a midterm it seems like another one is popping up.. so I've been a wee bit busy.. anyways today I have a whole lottta stuff to show/tell you guys!  First off mani first..then more nail related stuff..then not nail related stuff.. :)

I decided to make a Halloween inspired mani this week since Halloween is jsut around the corner...

I started with 2 coats of Wet N Wild's Black Pearl...its just a bsic black creme...

For my ring finger I used 2 coats of Butter London's Fairy Lights which is part of their Holiday 2011 collection...It has a chrome-like finish so it does hightlight all the flaws your nails may have (like ridges etc) but a good thing is that there were no brush strokes visible..I'm still deciding whether I love it or hate it hehe...

At first, seeing the chrome-y finish with the Butter London I wanted to stamp with it to see if it would be a hit but...no go there.. >.< The polish dried too quickly for it to be picked up by the stamper or it would get picked up but not transfered to the nail...I scrapped that idea after trying on the pinky..

So I changed tactics and busted out my all-star...my China Glaze millennium...I always hate stamping with this b/c I feel like I'm wasting but the effect is soo gorgeous... -__-" sigh anyways I used Konad plate m64 and I chose the graphic line design...i thought it felt very shattered glass like... and for my accent nail I decided to use Bundle Monster plate 223 and the cute little ghost guy there...

Here was the result..I used Wet N wild black pearl for the stamping on the pink nail but I just wasnt feeling it...it wasn't opaque enough to me and it just looked wonky...so I scrapped that nail and redid it...

I put 2 coats of Wet N Wild Black Pearl on teh ring finger and stamped with millennium using the cross line design on the same konad plate...then I topped it with CND Sapphire Sparkle... and of course I added some rhinestones...hehehe I love the bling..but not too much...

Close-up of ghosty drifting towards the rhinestones...

This was before the sapphire sparkle that I added on the ring finger...

Ok onto the next section... the semi related to nail polish news.... Other then painting my nails I love to make jewelry and after seeing some other people use nail polish in jewelry I started fooling around with that idea and experimenting *insert evil scientist laughter here* and here are some of my creations...I'm thinking of makeing them into pendants for necklaces and phonechains/keychains and earrings with the smaller ones...

For the top 2 oval ones I used Cult Nail polishes, the blue and pink was zoya, orly, and opi, and my personal fave the blue and silver was Julep, CND, and Zoya...

The slight shimmer is soo pretty!~~

 

Also over the weekend I had a chance to meet this guy...you know who he is? he's Simone Legno...the creator/artist behind TokiDoki! I was majorly excited when he announced a couple weeks back that he was coming to Hawaii :) and i'm so glad I got a chance to meet him...he's so sweet!

Here is Simone..doing a sketch for the fan ahead  of me...

Me waiting while Simone draws a sketch for me... *my inner fangirl was squealing* haha

Me and Simone~ ^_^ it was worth the 2-3 hour wait that it took to see him... not to mention the gettin up early to shop at sephora to guarentee a chance to meet him...it was like a mini black friday and I had to shove my tiny self through people waay bigger then me...that part wasnt so fun...

I got a free shirt ^_^ and I got the planner for Simone to sign in....

The sketch of Adios and Ciao Ciao that Simone drew for me... ^_^

The sketch he drew for my friend....

Finally last news of the day.... Lovely Little Things has passed 100 followers!!!!! Thank you guys so so so so much!! So this weekend I'll go shopping and I'll do another giveaway for hitting the 100 mark...For this next giveaway do you guys want 1 winner with a larger amt of prizes (4-6 items) or 2 winners with (2-3 items)? The reason I ask is that honestly I'm still a college student and I work part time making minimum wage so as much as I'd like to host giveaways its not feasible for me to do so all the time... I'm thinking this giveaway I want to give polishes that are a bit harder to find? (it might not be the case for you guys who live on the mainland but here in Hawaii I only have OPI, a little bit of China Glaze,lil bit of Essie,lil bit Zoya, and sometimes if you look hard enough you'll find the occasional Nubar or Orly..[(not including the drugstore brands like Sally Hansen, Revlon, etc].. for me to get Butter London or Deborah Lippman I need to go to nordstroms.. -___-" ) for this upcoming giveaway I'm thinking butter london and some other brands of that scale (so no sally hansen etc...no offense to sally hansen~~ ) Please let me know your opinions...and thanks for all the support ^_^

xoxo
