Nails of the Day: Pink with White Crackle

Original manicure - Revlon nail polish in Oh My Magenta.
It's hard to tell but there is a very subtle blue undertone in the glitter.








After a day or two I got bored of it, but couldn't be bothered to take it off and start over, so I decided to do a crackle. I tried a few different ones on a swatch wheel to decide.
L-R: China Glaze - Crushed Candy, China Glaze - Lightning Bolt, OPI - Black Shatter
(I think China Glaze is better than OPI! Look at that crackle as an example!)



In the end I liked the white the best, although I would wear all three.

Sorry I got a little lazy and didn't clean up my nails at all before taking a picture!

Outfit of the Day - June 14th 2011

I've been taking pictures of my outfit and accessories for a little while for the purpose of seeing what I'm actually wearing and using out of my closet. I realized I could easily blog about it as well, so here's my first attempt. 

Most of the full outfit photos aren't very good because I have just been propping my camera up on the opposite side of the room with a 10 second timer...It's a weird angle, I know. If you have any tips on photographing the whole body, let me know!

Top: Hollister
Pants: Gap (these are actually ankle-length pants but I find that very awkward looking so I always roll them up)
Necklace: Forever 21
Earrings: Target (you can't really see them but they are 3/4" silver hoops)
Shoes: My favorite used stuff store- Everyday People
(their Facebook page is here: http://www.facebook.com/everydaypeopleclothingexchange)


Most of this stuff is a year or so old, so I don't know if the same things are still around, sorry!

Look of the Day: Death Cab for Cutie Shirt

The day after I saw Death Cab for Cutie in concert (5.22.11) I was wearing the shirt I bought at the show and was still so excited from the show that I decided to match my eye makeup to the shirt.

Nails of the Day: Lavender and White Crackle

I was rushing through this because it was starting to get dark in my parent's house and they didn't have power so I needed to finish it! As a result I didn't wait long enough for the base color to dry. Because of that, when I put on the crackle it pulled the base coat with it in a few spots, exposing my nail color. It was only in a few spots and wasn't that noticeable since I had used such a light color, but they aren't kidding when they say crackles need to be applied to completely dry polish.
