I tend to have periods of time where I focus on one part of the beauty world. For the past couple of weeks, it's been nails. I've literally been obsessed with painting my nails lately, and reading Drop Dead, Gorgeous' blog has given me more inspiration. Her blog post today was about water marbling her nails. I really want to try that this weekend, and I'll post pics if I do.
In the past few weeks, my nails have had a frenched, pained gold, black, red, periwinkle, and for a few days a clear coat. I usually only do my nails once ever couple of weeks, but as I said, I've been obsessed with doing my nails lately.
Here's a list of some of my favorite nail polish shades:
-Essie's California Coral
-Isadora's Porcelain
-Wet n' Wild's Rain Check
-Sinful Colors' This is It (MJ inspired, possibly?)
-OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark
I have yet to purchase Lincoln Park After Dark, but I got a mani with it and i loved it. (: I also really want some more Sinful Colors polishes, because they have amazing colors and they're only $2 a bottle! I want Midnight Blue, Aqua, Under 18, Coco Diamond, and Let's Talk. I just realized that I'm really into bright and metallic polishes lately. For a while I only used neutral and dark colors. Hmm, maybe it's because I know that it's almost spring!! :D
Feel free to comment with any of your favorite nail tips, tricks, or colors. (:

I'm done going months (almost a year?) without blogging. I'm gonna try my very hardest not to do that again.
I'm so excited, spring's almost here!! That means short shorts, wayfarers, flip-flops, and bikinis! :D Now, I'm a person who LOVES to make shopping lists. I don't know why, it's just exciting for me to think about shopping. Here's my spring 2011 shopping list:
-Toms
-Bandeau bikini
-Henleys
-Old Navy flip-flops
-Rhinestone belt
-Brighton (or Pandora) charm bracelet
I think I'm most excited about the TOMS. In case you haven't heard of them, the company gives a pair of shoes to kids in need every time you buy a pair. How cool is that? Oh, and they look something like this...
I've wanted a pair since last summer. Practically every counselor at the summer camp I went to had a pair, and I totally fell in love with them. TOMS also makes vegan shoes!! I'm not a vegan (or a vegetarian at that) but if I were, I would be ALL OVER that website.
Oh, speaking of really cool stuff that helps out children living in poverty, I got the coolest bracelet at Forever 21 a couple months ago. It says "FEED," it was $5, and it gave 2 school lunches to kids in other countries. They look just like that lovely picture over there. I got one of the black bracelets, so I gave lunches to kids in Kenya (the different colors are for different countries). I'm not quite sure if they're available anymore, though.
I'm not very talented at writing endings for anything, including blog posts, so I hope you enjoy.

This Blog's Now Gonna Include Makeup, Too

I had a pretty successful makeup-buying day today. My Walgreens was having a deal that if you bought certain Neutrogena products, you got a free Neutrogena Healthy Lengths Mascara. I decided to get the Mineral Sheers Loose Powder Foundation (in nude 40) and got the mascara in carbon black. So far I like both products, but I'm going to use them for a week or two before I decide how much I like them.
I also went to Dollar Tree to get some new makeup sponges, and I found some other stuff that I bought. I was surprised when I saw Maybelline at Dollar Tree. I ended up getting three blushes (sierra sand, seashell pink, and beach club coral) and Dream Mousse Shadow (turquoise breeze) along with the makeup sponges. I'll post more about the blushes, too after I get a chance to try them, but I already know one thing about the eyeshadow: I'll be using it as a base. It's a pretty color, but it's really sheer. If it weren't so glittery I'd just try and build the coverage, but it's annoying to me when I've got too much shimmer or glitter on. Oh well, it was only a dollar so it's not a total loss.
The last thing I did was go to Dollar General, where I found this great little plastic thing for me to orgagize some of my makeup in. Once again, a dollar. =]
It doesn't fit all of my makeup, but it fits over half of it. My makeup area looks tidier now, so I consider it yet another success.

New Shoes =]

So, I got to go shopping again this weekend, and I got a pair of formal shoes to go with the dress I bought a month or so ago.
I also have a new favorite color of nail polish, Rain Check from Wet n Wild. I really like that brand as far as nail polishes go. They've got some really pretty colors, and they last a fairly good amount of time.
Once again, my post isn't much, but I don't have much more to say.
