Stash & Spending

Inspired by: OR/AS and Smash WiiU

It's happening, you guys!  It's finally finally happening!  SMASH WIIU IS COMING OUT TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT AND GUESS WHO'S GONNA BE PLAYING IT TONIGHT?  ME.  And also maybe some of you.  And maybe some of you others prefer to play Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.  All personal choice.

Be sure to thank Nintendo at some point tonight.

In honor of this amazing time of my life, I painted my nails to match the occasion:


Yes yes.  The perfect conglomeration of Pokemon and Smash.  I'm really excited.


Oh and guess what!  I decided to change my blog again.  A lot of my designs involve multiple nail polish colors, and since I'm rarely at home with my polishes, it's hard for me to recall exactly what colors I've used.  So until I'm set in a more regular pattern (aka post-graduation probably), I will not be listing the polishes I've used.

If you want to learn about a specific polish, just message me or comment on the post.  But this is really it for now.

SETTLE IT IN SMASH!!

Anniversary Nails

I recently got to celebrate my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend.  We went to a French American restaurant that was both quaint and semi-formal, so my nails had to match.


For this manicure:
  • Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paint
  • Base Color - My Vampire is Buff by OPI
  • Stamp Color - white by Konad
  • Stamp Plate - SH 211 by Shany Cosmetics
  • Studs - black half pearls from Claire's
  • Top Coat - Top Coat by Out the Door
Approximate Completion Time: 1 hour - 1.5 hours


It's a very subtle design, which is good, because I need some subtle designs to balance out my crazy colorful other designs.  I have some of those coming up for y'all real soon!

But until then, stay safe and stay classy :)

Inspired by: Interstellar x Big Hero 6

Both movies are opening this week...end?  Weekday?  What kind of a day is Friday anyways?  But yes, that is happening.

I just saw Interstellar.  I have plans to see Big Hero 6 next weekend, but in terms of Interstellar...let me tell you this much: as a science major, I am very much amazed at how Nolan tried so very much to adhere to the rules of physics (and other theories).  But because I am not a physicist, I cannot say if all the rules were followed.  Plus I am flooded with emotions and numbness from too many emotions.

Anyways, here are my nails dedicated to both movies!


For this manicure:
  • Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
  • Interstellar colors - Black Out by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Snow Me White by Sinful Colors, Bess by Julep, Laree by Julep, Char by Julep, Nan by Julep, Endless Blue by Sinful Colors, Pink Punk by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, coral glitter by Shades of the Season, blue glitter by Shades of the Season, silver glitter by Shades of the Season
  • Big Hero 6 colors - Snow Me White by Sinful Colors, Black Out by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Molly by Julep
  • Top Coat - Top Coat by Out the Door
  • Tools used - dotting tool, striper brush, make-up sponge
Approximate Completion Time: 1.5 hours

I urge you all to go see this movie in IMAX.  I know it's a good IMAX movie because I felt motion sick near the end.
