New Nails Did: Baby Blue & Glitter

18 May

So after not getting my nails done for about a month, I finally made it to the nail salon and got my nails did. I got nothing fancy. I really wanted to focus on the nail polish colors that I added to my nail polish family. I used NCLA’s Hollywood Hills Hot number and POP Beauty’s Nail Glam #36 Baby Blue. Check it:

I’ve been getting complemented all week thanks to my new colors! Sometimes designs aren’t needed. A good nail polish is all you need :)

New Nails Did: Simplified Bling

17 Apr

Hey folks!! Its been a long month since I had some acrylics and I’ve missed them so! lol With this set, I wanted a specific nail design that involved some fimo nail art slices that I bought on Etsy. But this new nail salon that I went to seemed a little bit clueless and tired from the ratchetness of some the  nail salon patrons, so I picked something else. It’s a simple collection of bling which adds a lil pizazz and doesn’t over do it. I was going to do 4 fingers instead of 2 but I was soooo tired and was getting impatient. Even though this wasn’t my original design plan, I’m happy how my nails turned out. :) Check it….

New things in my life

24 Feb

So I got two awesome additions in my closet recently that I’m really excited to share. I just copped a really nice Michael Kors watch, which I posted on my latest “Things that need to be in my life post”.

I finally stepped into my big girl panties and bought a watch. I really wasn’t supposed to get it but I said screw it! I wanted a watch and a really nice watch at that. This silver chronograph runway watch by Michael Kors is a simple and elegant watch and I’m glad I bought it. It was big so i went to the jeweler and got some links taken out. So if ineterested in getting this watch or a similiar one, go to the jeweler and get it re-sized.

My next addition which was a gift from my lovely bf :) is a Marc by Marc Jacobs Dotty Snake little Ukita bag….

How cute is it?! It’s my pefect combination of snake skin and polka dots. As well as it being made by one of my favorite deigners  My babe did well! :)

New Nails Did: Clutch my pearls

12 Feb

Hey folks! Its been a hot min since I posted a nails did. Since I finally got a valentine this year, I decided to go with a valentine theme. At first I was going to go the 3d route but I decided to keep it simple by adding pearls. Check it…..

Cute right? I’m glad I got the half moons instead. :)

I’ve been tatted!

22 Jan

For those if you who have followed me on twitter, you’ve probably seen it already but last week with my good friends Chandra, Dan Dan and I all got tatted! Chandra put me on to this free event sponsored by Sailor Jerry Rum who were giving out free tattoos to the first 101st people to commemorate Sailor Jerry’s 101 b-day. You got to choose up to 18 different Sailor Jerry designs and you also got a free drink after you got your tat. This event was held in NYC, Chicago and New Orleans. Being that I haven’t gotten a tat in 5yrs and it was both Chandra and Dan Dan’s first tat, this was a perfect opportunity to get one and to bond with the homies! Check it……

Even though it hurt a little, It felt good getting tatted! Can’t wait for more ink!

I think I’m going to drink the Kool-aid and get me an iphone

23 Oct

So after much debate and boredom over my current phone, I’m considering joining the masses and getting an iPhone. I used to be an Apple hater back in the day like big time, but the more I started playing with Apple products I now have no beef with them what so ever.   I think they’re great and I’m even considering copping a Macbook Pro this upcoming winter. Back in February, I signed another two year contract with T-mobile and I traded in my Blackberry for the Android operating phone the MyTouch 4G.  I was sweating the MyTouch 4G phone for two months before I purchased it and figured that being that I have been with T-mobile for 6yrs I could stick around with them more. Well Its been 8 months and I’m already over this lackluster device. And on top of all of that, T-mobile may be getting taken over by AT&T  next year so who knows what’s going to happen. What came to my decision is my sister and some of my friends have iPhones and after playing with it, I love it! Unfortunately T-mobile is the only cell phone carrier in the US that doesn’t carry it(womp womp) and my contract isn’t up yet. But with all the hoopla going on with the merger, I may just break my contract. Now some of you maybe saying why are you drinking  the Apple Kool-aid? Let’s be serious folks every company including Android has big ol’ pitcher of kool-aid too. Android comes out with a phone every other week professing that its better than an iphone and any other phone that’s on the market. So how can you complain about Apple’s hype when Android does the same thing. I feel that Apple has a better app selection and from what I’ve seen battery life (my opinion). Also it doesn’t force close every 5 mins.  We all have opinions and can argue what’s the best phone but it all comes down to the decision you make.  I’ve made mine up and I’m sure getting one! :) and yes I love Kool-aid and always have! Especially the red kind lol #saveslives
