Deco iPhone Case
I get a lot of questions about my phone case. Almost everywhere I go at least 1 person will stop me and ask me where I got my phone case. Some of them look like they don't believe me when I say I made it. I guess that's a compliment :)
Anyways, I am super proud of this case. It took me about 8 hours to make. Honestly, it's not that special compared to some of the cases I've seen online, but these aren't common where I live so it looks really cool to someone that's never seen one before! I purchased all the pieces on eBay (I'm such an eBay whore) from several different sellers. I also bought a few clear cases for a few dollars. I got the glue (E6000) from a craft store.
There are people selling these online. There were some as low as $4.99 from China, but the reviews were terrible and they just looked cheap and poorly made. For one that looks almost like mine, someone wanted $80. I was not willing to pay that so I turned once again to YouTube and figured out how to make my own. I'm glad I decided to do this because I got exactly what I wanted now instead of someone charging me an arm and a leg just to make me something I'm not even sure I'll like, right?
Nails...of the week?
As I mentioned in my last nail post, I have been taking a break from acrylic nails until mine get a bit stronger. These are just regular glue-on nails that I purchased from eBay. They're cute, but they looked a lot cuter on eBay lol.

Acrylic Nails: My brief history via pictures (lots of pics)
So I was super bored one day and was on YouTube. I came across these nail tutorials; people were teaching how to do acrylic nails. I was fascinated and decided that was to be my new hobby. I went to my local Sally Beauty with a list and got everything I needed. It was much more difficult than it looked, I soon discovered. After much practice, I was able to make them not look like shit. Of course I'm still no professional and they don't look that great by any means, but they are getting better! Here is some of my work. I put the first sets I ever did first, down to the more recent. I actually haven't done any nails in about a month and a half because mine were getting so thin from the acrylic practice!

| First set! They don't look horrible, but up close they were pretty uneven. |

| Maybe a bit too much nail "art" ? |

| Second set |

| These are the most recent (about 2 months ago!) |

| This is from when I tried water marbling-lmao-NEVER AGAIN |
 |
| This one, and the one below are the only 2 that came out kinda OK! |
Now, these are not all of them, but I didn't want to post 100 pictures here :) And I am aware they're not the best, but I'm still learning. YouTube is a great place for nail tutorials!
