Nail of the WEEK?

So, those who watch me on youtube (http://youtube.com/natjotua) know that I love doin' my nails, so this week I just decided to do something fairly simple and easy that I've done in the past -- which is a wannabe plaid design, but I just switched up the colors a bit.. this one might look a little wonky, because I did it in literally like 20 minutes, but ehh as long as I have something on my nails, I'm happy! =D

BTW, if you're interested in the actual concept of a plaid nail design, feel free to check out 'Burberry Nails' >>
on my YT channel.. I made the video a little while ago, so you might have to rummage through my video list!

Enjoy, ladies! Feedback always makes me a happy camper!


Products Used:
China Glaze strong adhesion base coat
China Glaze "for audrey"
no brand white polish
Art Deco glittery black nail art stiper
CM purple nail art stiper
& of course, my Holy Grail top coat > Jordana quick shine top coat! (only $1 and it works like freakin crystal gel! and it literally dries in 60 seconds.. which is perfect for someone like me because I'm constantly busy and using my hands!)

feelin' blue FOTD! =D

So, this is a look i did last weekend randomly! It's been a while since I pulled out my deep truth MAC eyeshadow, because the last time i used it, I looked like a hot ass mess! But this time I just toughed it out and wanted to make it work, and i think it did! Some specktra.net girls liked it! =) enjoy!

FML! lent is killing me, but saving my wallet!

So, I know lent barely started last wednesday, but I'm already freakin' dying here! I gave up fast food, soda, shopping (for clothes, shoes, & accessories), and buying makeup for 40 days! ahhhhhh! To me, giving up fast food and soda is pretty easy.. and on top of that I'm saving more money by eating at home rather than paying at a drive-thru. Giving up shopping is kinda difficult for me, because it is SOOOOOOOO hard for me to pass up a good sale or clearance item! haha but damn, -- giving up buying makeup/cosmetics is just plain insanity! It's killing me right now! My boo just reminded me that it's only 36 more days til easter, but it still seems so far away.

And it just so happens that so many places are having good sales online.. i think beautycrunch.com is having a STILA sale, and Sephora.com is having a 15% off entire purchase + free shipping on any orders over $35.. I just got a little sadder as i typed that last sentence =( ah but I gotta resist temptation and I'm gonna be nice and show you the codes so at least someone can get a good deal!



HERE'S THE SEPHORA SHOPPING CODES:

Hope you enjoyed my whining..
