Disaster.

WHo lives in a pineapple under the sea?!
Spongebob Squarepants!
Porous and yellow and spongy is he!
Spongebob Squarepants!
Spongebob Squarepants.
Spongebob Squarepants.
Spongyyybooob Squarepaaaants!!

Du du du du du du du duuu.

Okay, now I have depressed myself.
Would you like to know why?
Probably not. But I shall tell you anyway.

I created Spongebob nails. They were so amazing, I wanted to throw my hands in the air and scream "LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL NAILS, WORLD!"
And I was totally prepared to do that.

....But then the most horrific of all things possible happened.

This seemingly innocent pot of white nail paint was sitting on my desk. In my happiness, I swung my hands around, admiring the beauty that was my nails.
Bad decision.
Distaster.
One moment, my world is filled with Spongebob and beauty and all things wonderful.
Next moment?
A bloodcurdling scream is being wrenched out of my mouth as time freezes and earth stops spinning. In slow motion, I watched as my hand knocked over the pot. I watched as it sailed through the air, streams of nail paint flying everywhere, staining my floor, my thighs, my cell phone, and.. last of all.. My nails.
Oh, the horror.

Painstaking effort put into the minute details of Spongebob's face... gone.
Useless.
Disappeared.

It felt like the end of the world.
Maybe it was. Who knows? Maybe I'm currently living in a whole other reality, one where Spongebob forgives me splattering his lovely face with white paint.

Oh, how I wish I was.

But no. I'm still in this world.
One where I shall forever be hated by Spongebob and his dishwashing minions.

Why me?

(This is where you break into sobs and hope that Spongebob is listening. Hopefully your tears shall cause him to empathize with me and cause him to therefore decide to forgive my error.)

...One can only hope.

Back-To-School Nails

I was looking through my posts, and yknow what I realized? That I hadn't posted my back-to-school nails!!
I was so shocked I burst out laughing.
These were possibly the favorite nails I'd ever created.
I created them less than a month ago, just in time for my first day back in school.
You can bet that everyone loved it!

Thumb - side of a schoolbus
Forefinger - converse, because those are what i wear to school!
Middle finger - apple, because everyone is secretly a teachers pet ;)
Ring finger - whiteboard :D
Pinky - back of a pencil!

I hope everyone had a smooth transition from summer to school! I know I did.

App Inspired Nails - Tutorial.

1. Start with a base coat.

2. Then, paint all your nails white. This causes the other colors to show up brighter.

3. Paint your forefinger a light blue.

4. Paint your middle finger and thumb green.

5. Paint your ring finger orange.

Base colors all done.

6. Now for the design. Draw a white rhombus on your forefinger. Sorry, I have no picture because I just realized the picture is blurry.

7. Next, paint an 'S' in light blue. This is the finished 'Skype' app nail.

8. Next we will do the 'Phone' app nail. Pain the shape of a phone on your thumb. Simplest way to do so - first paint a short diagonal line. Then, draw two squares on either end.

9. Paint a red dot on the top right corner of your thumb.

10. Draw the number "1" in the center of the red circle. (Forgot to take a picture of it - sorry.) This is the finished 'Phone' app nail.

11. Make a large oval on your middle finger. Draw little line from the bottom left side, pointing left.

12. Red dot and the number '1'. This is the finished 'Messages' app nail.

13. Draw an ipod on your ring finger.
- Draw the outline of a rectangle.
- Draw a smaller rectangle inside it, at the top.
- Draw the outline of a circle below that.
- Fill in the gaps, leaving the circle and small rectangle orange.
- Make a smaller white circle inside the orange circle.
This is the finished ipod nail!

14. Paint the top bit of your pinky nail red. Paint only 1/3 red, not half.

15. Write 'Mon' on the red area in white, and write the number '5' on the white area in black. This is the finished 'Calender' app nail. (I'm sorry it's so blurry. My camera was refusing to focus!)

16. Add a top coat to protect your nail design from chipping and to add a glossy shine, and you're all done!

Here are the finished nails:

Tell me if you liked this tutorial, and if you want more tutorials in the future?

Quick Post - Broken Nail

I broke a nail!

Breaking a nail is my worst fear.
Mostly because my nails take years to grow.

It's like snail mail.... but snail nail instead.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help my nails grow faster? I don't exactly like my nails looking te way they do right now -

But I don't want to cut my other nails short either.

Rainbows! #3

I never did see a rainbow.
But instead of being all doom and gloom - I've had enough of that, honestly - I decided to, once again, make my own rainbow.
I'm positive that at this point, you're wishing the sky would start producing rainbows already, so I'd quit my cosmetic-rainbows?

Not a chance.
My cosmetic-rainbows shall always make an appearance on this blog, despite how many rainbows I see... Because they've kinda grown on me, yknow?

Plus, like I've said so many times before - rainbows are my love.

Here they are.

I made a seven-colour rainbow this time, as opposed to my pervious rainbow nails which simply had three colours. To be honest, I got lazy there.

Shoes I Desperately Want.

Steve Madden's Traisie Blue Suede Platform Pumps.
I love them so much.
They're also surprisingly comfortable, I tried them on at the store. Unfortunately, I had to tear myself away from them, because I really don't think I need another pair of shoes.
Despite how absolutely beautiful they are.

Next one are these.

Hottopic's Red Animal Print Platform Heels
Ive wanted these for so long, and they're finally on clearance!

Hopefully these shall be mine very soon.

Cheetah Print Lip Art

Trying out a new thing - Lip Art.
This was the first one I did - A gold and pink cheetah print.

DOn't forget to ask me if you want more!!

True Blood + MIA

True Blood has been my latest addiction.
I love it, and it fuels my addiction for all things gory.
I never was a vampire fan, but after getting hooked to true blood, I think I may be forming a slight vamp fixation...
So to honor True Blood, I shall be creating true blood nails. Excited? You should be.
I can't do it this week, because I'm swamped. It's my last year so I got igcse's this year, and it's horrible. I don;t seem to have the time to do my nails!!
Hopefully, I shall do it during the weekend... SO look forward to that!!
I know I have a few posts I've promised and haven't done yet, and that I've been MIA for a while. I've just been super busy. I know that's a pathetic excuse considering the fact that I'm fifteen. I'll bet you're thinking, how busy can a fifteen year old be?
Trust me. You don't want to know.

So, i shall see you soon hopefully.

Shatter.

OPI's Black Shatter Polish.

I wanted it ever since i saw it on the OPI website. Unfortunately, you do not get OPI in India. Fortunately, I went to Paris, and Paris has my love, Sephora.
(I shall be posting a Sephora Haul post later. Gosh, the posts I promise seem to be piling up. One of these days I'm going to have to sit down and finish those drafts I keep saving.)
I bought four Shatter polishes, but I've only tried the black one. I hope the others turn out as addicting and perfect as this one!
Here is what it looks like when applied with a thin top coat -

I've also noticed that the thinner the coat, the more it shatters.

Cherry Blossom Nails

Cherry Blossoms are beautiful, and I love the colours. The combination of pink and white is so feminine, but the black brings in a dash of something spicier.

Here are Cherry Blossom Nails, with just the right amount of glitter to make it pretty-ful.

I started off with a simple white french manicure. Then, using a black polish and a thin brush, i drew on the black branches. Next, with neon pink I drew the flowers and added dashes of white in the center of the flowers to give it more depth. Then, using another clean brush, I mixed the white and pink together on my nail to take away any harsh lines. I finished with a coat of glitter polish (small glitter particles, not the chunky ones.) :)
Don't forget base and top coats!

I am going to attempt creating a Cherry Blossom inspired eye make up look. There will be a lot of pink and white involved, obviously.
Look forward to that for next time!
