Low-Key Nail Art

My friend Meghan came to visit and I thought it'd be fun to paint her long skinny fingernails. I used OPI "Friar Friar Pants on Fire" (2 coats) with the standard black Konad polish and Plate #?. The clear rhinestones were a fun addition for texture. We've decided we need to have a picnic and paint each other's nails.  It should be a fun adventure. That's how we roll.

Soooo Yeah.

My nails are definitely too short to be considered "gyaru neiru" but I'm gonna go ahead and say, "So What?!" a la Tyra Banks. I'm typing almost non-stop for 8hrs per day and I've decided my old long nail look had to go. So I'm all about short gel manicures. This particular set is SUPER sparkly. I'll have to use my real camera to do it justice.

Since I still have all my nail art and Konad supplies, I'll have to add my own flair to this nail set. I like the idea of adding some star-shaped rhinestones and pearls to it. I just have to squeeze it in before midnight. (That's my new bedtime lol. No more Insomnia Avy) I think the next step is to invest in a UV dryer and some gel polish. The investment is worth it. I get to change my nails as often as I like without budget-busting. I'm sure it's the smarter option. Plus: New Skill!!! Because believe me when I say I suck at shaping acrylic-- even for just a refill. Time to look around Amazon and eBay.

Mein Körper ist Wütend

Oh so get this: now that I log every single thing I eat and exercise even more, my body is rebelling. It's like, "Bitch you're fat., Stop tryin to overwork me like you're still Xena-sized." Srsly?! I actually gained weight. My friend Igor thinks it's because I am gaining more muscle weight and not burning enough fat. That could be true since I do more weight & resistance training (Planet Fitness and Bowflex).

I suppose the suppose now would be to do 30min of hard cardio every day-- except Tuesday and Saturday, which are belly dancing days. Sunday shall be sleepy day. It is written! I'll still weights (Mon., Wed., Friday), but I'll have to con David into going to the gym with me as my guest on those days instead of bowflexing.

A plan. I has one. Woo hoo.

Hola! Miren a mi Zapatos!

"Have you seen this? Have you heard about this?" Ah, Mr. Leno is pretty irrelevent here but I'm in a wonky mood. Work is so insanely busy that I bare have time to slack off.

Onto shoes... It's hot as balls out here. I'm looking forward to pedicures and summer heels. Like this take on the gladiator. It's from Lane Bryant because they carry my size in sexy. I find myself buying most of my shoes from there lately. Shoes like these are great, as are boots, but their flats don't last as long as I'd like.

Not that it matters-- my feet are swollen like when I was pregnant. No, I'm not preggo again. Thanks, Big Guy!

Anyway, dems da shoes.

Accessorize!

I was at Lane Bryant paying my credit card bill and spotted this lovely purse ON SALE. I was so happy, I had to buy it. Beyond that, I had a coupon and the savings were incredible. Can I just say, I love bags? I don't have as many as I used to, but the pull is still there. I love this one. It fits so much. The straps could be a little stronger but all-in-all I'm very pleased. It's so me.


XOXO,
Me (*^_^*）
