Teal and Orange Wedding Skittles

Two of my favorite people in the entire world got married this weekend!!! It was the cutest wedding ever! I like to think I had something to do with that - I suggested the wedding colors and voiced a strong opinion about the bridesmaid dresses - but really I was just along for the ride. Since I thought it was a little inappropriate to have wild colored nails for the ceremony, I went with a traditional French mani. But here's what I would have done!

Colors Used:

OPI A Roll in the Hague

China Glaze For Audrey

Here's a couple pictures from the wedding! 

Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!!

Have you guys watched The Americans? I've been DVR-ing it, but today I finally watched a few episodes. This show is cray! It's about Russian spies living in America in the '80s and all the wild spy stuff they do. Apparently the took a page from the James Bond spy book, because the only form of interrogation they use is to have hot hot sex with their target... So I guess everyone wins? 

I did some Woody nails a couple days ago, and I've been pondering how I'd get Buzz Lightyear to the party. I thought about just free-handing everything, but I have a feeling that it'd end up a smudgy mess. Instead I put a bunch of green, purple, and red polish on a plastic sheet, let it dry over night, and then cut out into Buzz shapes. This was still SUPER difficult because they're little tiny pieces of very flimsy polish. But I think it worked pretty great! I ended up painting on the buttons, mostly because I can't cut tiny circles to save my life. I don't know if I'd recommend this method, but I did have a lot of fun doing it!

Toy Story's Woody Skittles

Today has been rough. I went out with a couple friends last night and I have been nursing what feels like the world's worst hangover the entire day. But amidst my pain and misery I came across Toy Story 3 on tv and couldn't help but watch and bawl my eyes out. That movie is so perfect!! I think my next few manis will be Toy Story characters, starting off with my favorite character - Woody!

Azul! Skittles

February has not been a good month for blog posts! I've been driving all over the creation nearly every weekend. Last weekend a bunch of UT friends and I went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and had a BLAST. There were a few logistical nightmares (massive amounts of traffic, drunks running in front of my car, someone stealing my wallet) but it was a really great weekend overall! :] I had to share a hotel room with seven dudes though. That was a bit of an adventure lol. We each took turns getting lost on Bourbon Street and having cell phones die, but we all made it out alive. And that's all that really matters.

This weekend (if you count Wednesday as the weekend) I drove up to San Antonio to go see the midnight premiere of A Good Day to Die Hard with my bestie Laura. It was one of the most ridiculous movies I have ever seen. I don't think either of us stopped laughing at any point of it. We were both pretty sad that it didn't live up to the Die Hard franchise, but it's still worth seeing if you love you some Bruce Willis. Unfortunately Laura had to work Thursday/Friday/Saturday, so I trekked back to Houston for some much-needed me time. And by me time I really mean going to the DMV to replace my stolen driver's license and order all new credit cards. *Sigh*

Anyway, I finished up all of my chores this afternoon and figured it was time to do a little nail magic! I texted my good buddy Curtis for a little inspiration and he replied "azul." So I did some blue and beige skittles that I actually quite like! I used OPI Fly, OPI Did You Ear About Van Gough?, and some Big Ruby nail tattoos.

Here's how they started off...

I originally did my index finger with a nail tattoo as well, but I thought it looked crappy. But here's a picture of it anyway.

An Ode To The Carrie Diaries - 80s Fashion Skittles!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been working a lot, going on recruiting events, accidentally breaking all of my nails, and attempting to reorganize my apartment. I also got my wisdom teeth out yesterday! I was anticipating excruciating pain and the desire to sleep for a week straight, but apparently these painkillers are really doing the trick! I'm rip-roarin' and ready to go!

The CW has a new show this season called The Carrie Diaries, which is supposed to be a Sex & The City prequel. I've been catching up on a few episodes during this recuperation period and it's starting to grow on me. If you ignore the prequel part, this show is actually pretty adorable! It's not exactly how I imagined a high school Carrie, but she doesn't have some pretty great big-city adventures. Plus their 80s outfits are the greatest! I decided to pay tribute to some of them today! Here's my inspiration:

Heart Skittles

I don't usually like hearts... but today felt like a heart kind of day! Some of the stamps didn't work out perfectly, but I like the look nonetheless. I used China Glaze Sea Spray as the base, topped it off with Models Own Indian Ocean, and then stamped with Spoiled My Silicone Popped.

Some days I don't have much to say about a post, so here's an awesome song to make up for it :)
