New Direction!

So I'm pretty aware that I'm awful at updating this blog with hair/makeup/fashion updates. To be honest, I just forget half the time and am a bit lazy. (BIG surprise...)

BUT! I have no intention of giving up. I've decided that to keep me interested/excited about blogging, I'm going to open this thing up as more of an all around interest diary. I suck at writing about my day and I hate blogs that complain and moan and groan, so I just intend to post a bigger variety of my likes/dislikes in fashion, film, games, TV, music,  makeup, etc.

Love it or hate it, I think it'll be a lot of fun!

To start off my new direction with a dance party, I've posted my favorite clip from Girls that has been making me smile today :)

Ciaté Caviar Manicure

Sooo I caved and bought Ciaté Caviar Manicure from Sephora. I won't lie, I did my best to avoid it and went to 3 different craft stores looking for micro beads w/out thread holes, but came up unsuccessful. Being me, when I want something I go on a mission so I finallly resigned myself to dropping the $25 and buying the kit.
 I decided to go with the Black Pearls kit. I figured it would be the most versatile for the colors I typically use.
 And here are the results! I painted 2 coats of the black nail polish that came with the kit. Instead of applying the beads after the 2nd coat, I waited for it to dry and added nail glue then worked in the beads. For the money, I'm making sure these things last the longest they possibly can!
So far so good, I think the end result is super pretty, unique and fresh. Definitely something I'll most likely use primarily for special occasions, but I'd definitely consider buying other colors. (Or online search for regular micro beads >>;;;)

Until next time!
XOXOXO <3
