Update!

I know I claim to have a deep & undying love for shoes, but I don't really talk much about them! My birthday just passed and I spent a portion of my birthday money on shoes <3 So I think I'll do a post all about shoes, maybe like a shoe collection! That would be fun. I love going on youtube and other blogs and seeing people's shoe collections, makeup, OOTD's. That will be fun to work on! :)  I also got FIVE pairs of new lenses to review. Even though I still have some in my collection that I haven't reviewed yet....<sigh>....It's hard to find time to do anything with my school schedule. I'm doing horribly in College Math II, time to suck it up and go to tutoring.... me + trigonometry = bad. I'm also thinking about trading in my car. I have a 2 door car and according to the insurance companies, it's a sports car. So my car insurance rates are ridiculously high, I can't afford it anymore. So I'm looking at 4 door cars atm...those car salesmen can be sooo pushy and annoying. I wish I never contacted them and just went to the dealership, they won't stop calling, emailing, its ridiculous! So between that and school life has been pretty busy! I didn't even get to do my nails last week....Anyway...enough whining lol, hopefully I can start working on this stuff soon! :))))

Shabby Chic..or vintage rose nail art :)

So I was browsing my new obsession today, Beautylish, and came across this video while looking at nail designs:
I'm a big fan of vintage looks or "shabby chic" so I fell in love with this. I thought there is no way I could do that, but I tried anyway and.... I am actually really happy with it! I didn't think it would be so easy. So if I can do this, anyone can!

Didn't have the jade green she used in the video so I used a light blue.
Also used a coral hot pink and a light pink mixed with white instead of the red color.
(I actually like mine better heehee!)

Black, White, & Gold Nails

Ugh....I love these so much...I don't even want to wear them because they're so pretty (in my opinion lol). I just love the way they came out, so proud of them! I used black, white, and gold polish, gold steel ball beads from ebay and gold striping tape also from ebay. I also used some "black diamond" rhinestones for the thumb and pinky and the black bows are also from ebay. :)
It actually did not take that long to do at all, maybe 30 minutes...

Uniqso

I've been super busy with school the past few weeks, hence my lack of posts, so while I have time I wanted to post this. About 4 months ago I ordered 5 pairs of lenses from Uniqso. I just thought the packaging was so cute & I wanted to share it. They sent me a little teddy bear too, so presh! The shipping was quick because I paid extra for the 3 day shipping (I am sooo impatient). Their site is easy to navigate, their prices are normal for a lens site, but they always have some kind of special going on. Here are links to the reviews of my Uniqso lenses:
iFairy Luna (Green)
iFairy Kirei (Green)
iFairy Casper (Purple and Green)
Luxury Babe 02 (Purple)
Here is my super cute package from Uniqso:

The little boxes were so cute and my lenses
were safely wrapped with bubble wrap

The little bear they sent me, how cute is he!

I like these lenses, a lot. They're bright, pretty, doll-like and comfortable. But once again, they look retarded on my light blue eyes. Like a sticker decal stuck to my eyeball. Shame...they're really cute. I really like the thick black outer ring, some people don't because it's so unnatural. But how natural are you gonna get with purple-freakin contacts? Go big or go home! LOL. Nah, just kidding, I have seen some subtle, natural looking violet lenses. These, however, are not them. My main issue with these lenses is not the ridiculous way they make me look, but the diameter claims. 17mm is what the bottle says. It also says 17mm on the Uniqso website. But, to be fair, I'm sure they were just going by what the bottle said. There is no way these lenses are 17mm. It drives me nuts when manufacturers do that. They put what they consider to be the "enlarging effect" of the lens on the bottle, instead of the actual diameter. Actual diameter of these lenses is 14.5mm, not 17mm. How do I know? I measured. Here is a comparison photo, the top/left lens is my beloved iFairy Casper lens, 16mm (I measured) compared to the Luxury Babe lens. 17mm? You tell me:

16mm iFairy lens on the top left, LB lens "17mm" on the bottom right

Anyways! LOL here are some photos.....

They look alright from a few feet away, but close-up..I dunno...

"Pink Gyaru" Nails

I found these things on Ebay...they're these little molds. You add acrylic (powder+liquid) any color (I've only used white so far. After I add it with my brush, I used an old credit card to scrape the excess off the top. After you let it dry for a few minutes, you have pretty little things you can glue onto your nails (or anything else). I got a bunch of them including ones with bows (my favorite), hearts, lace, and various flowers. It was hard to get a good shot of them but here they are:

If you click on the pic it will get larger.

So I used the lace mold and made some pretty cool lace strips. They were difficult to glue on my nails, the sides kept flipping up. I think it may have had something to do with the crappy nail glue I was using. I used some bows, roses, hearts, and rhinestones, all purchased from Ebay and this is what I came up with:

The process
(I taped the sticks to a shoebox in order to easily paint them).

Actually, the bow on my thumb in this pic is one
that I made from the mold, and added the rhinestone in the center.

I'm really happy with them, I think they came out cute. I will be using my acrylic molds more to make more stuff to glue on my nails lol.
