Simple Circle Jewelry

Hey folks! Hope your three day weekend (for us Americanos) has rounded out well and you're nice and relaxed. I know I am haha. I've been getting over a cold for weeks now and I'm happy to see it's finally on the outs.

I come from a pretty talented family. My mother is an amazing artist, she paints unbelievable landscapes and wildlife. My dad is a really great photographer and golfer. My brother can fix anything on wheels. My middle sister is a creative writer. I guess I'm pretty fair at a few things. My oldest sister has always joked saying she got the short end of the stick when it came to talent, a jack of all trades and a master of none, lol. I of course disagree with that anyway, but she has recently found a special talent. She has started making handmade jewelry!

Her reasoning being that she can never find any jewelry she really loves, so why not make her own! Clarrisa is her name, she's my best friend in the world and I definitely want to support her in any way I can. She has started a small shop on Etsy to sell her creations, calling it "Simple Circle Jewelry". Please take a look at her shop when you have a minute.

 Be back soon with more nail polish swatches, I have a bunch of pretties to show you!

halloween party

so my family is a little kooky (or just really busy) because we had our annual halloween party at the beginning of the month! and i of course, forgot and left my costume to the last minute. (but can ya blame me? it was the freaking 2nd day of October! haha) so i went to my trusty internet and found a 30 second halloween costume and it's my favorite thing ever...a ninja! i got the mask idea from one of michelle phan's tutorial videos on youtube (she's not my favorite "guru" but i appreciated this vid haha). i put a shirt over my head and tied the sleeves behind, and viola! add black clothes, gloves and some kung-fu and you gotcha a costume :D

here's me and my sister Clarrisa dressed up as a gypsy. probably the best picture of me ever cuz you can't see the rest of mah face! *wacka wacka wacka* haha anyway, i'll be back with more nails tomorrow :) love ya!

strobe light pedi

i was visiting my relatives in nevada (where i'm originally from) this weekend and we all seemed to have glittery pedicures. it was pretty cool haha, as it was prime sandal weather and super sunny. the girls there had all gotten glitter toes (with gel overlay) done and i had just used sally hansen's xtreme wear glitter polish in strobe light, but it looked about the same consistency. we were visiting for my cousin Daniale's baby shower and i couldn't resist including a pic of her cute belly! (even though pregnancy freaks me out a bit hehe)

i love this polish and got a ton of compliments on it. this is 3 coats with seche vite on the top so it wouldn't be scratchy.
