"Color Waves"

I just want spring to get here!!!

"Party Animal"

Here's to passing my state exam! License on the way ;)

February Updates!

Here's some stuff I been working on

And my apartment is getting organized and kawaii as fckkkkk

"Lisa Frank 2"

Hey everyone! I know it's been forever but I'm still doing my thang! School starts next Monday, too.anyways, check these out

Super kawaii April- Cotton Candy/ Lemonade

Hey, kids! I'm still alive, wish I had a better camera, but whatever- IDGAF! Here's some things I've done recently (always practicing nails like a BOSS)

There are all hand-painted, done on full-cover glue-on nails...and it's damn near summer so you know I gotta get my pedicure on! Fairy kei fa' liffffe!

"School of Kawaii"

So I wanted to do something cute with a gingham print. I'm not in love with the yellow/ orange color I picked, actually I do love it, but I should've done a more consistent color scheme. Oh well- still super kawaii ^_^

They are just hand-painted on full cover glue-ons. I realized the trick to make a good gingham pattern is to use more sheer polishes, and pick a polish only slightly darker for the intersections. I learned something, and that's what's up ^_^

"South Mpls shopping"

Hey- so I went to some little family owned beauty supply and fashion stores in south Mpls. I went to one store that had SOOOOO much stuff! Tons of cute barrettes, hair beads, nail polishes, cute jewelery, nail art supplies, weave, wig, everythang! (I like to stay natural though ^_^)

After that I went to a thrift store. Anyways- here's everything:

All this is so cheap but functional, and works well as decora, fairy kei, or just a bunch of cute s**t! And I've been crafting a ton lately, and one of my favorite past times is decorating toys.

F**k yeah my care bear is decora. Why wouldn't she be?!

And there's nothing better than adding barrettes and rhinestones to my little ponies. 

Things are getting cuter all the time around here. I'm hoping to get on that tumblr tonight. Peace out <3

Rainbow Heart Earrings

Last night was fun. I got off work at around 9pm and started surfing the web when I saw these:

And I was like, "OMG I have all these same materials why am I not rockin cuter earrings?!?!"

Seriously. I have 10 ear piercings. Why my earrings aren't all ridiculously awesome is beyond me ;)

So I started making heart shaped ones, and coated MY star beads in glitter. So here ya go!

And I really like them. I'll try to take a photo wearing them soon and playing dress up ^_^

Another awesome drugstore haul

So I wanted to show off some stuff I bought at Walgreens, I've been on this crazy hunt for the perfect, BRIGHT pink eyeshadow, like "POW!" pink. I haven't had time or money to throw down on a good pot of MAC, but I've been looking around, there was a Rimmel one I liked, then found 2 Wet N' Wild palettes that were PERFECT!!

And hell yeah, they're awesome. The one on the left has way metallic silver, (you know I love metallics!), the bright pink I wanted, and a glittery black, (and y'all KNOW I love glitter!). So I was thrilled with this. On the right is cream color, blueish-teal, and magenta. Genius. 

Here's an example of the silver and pink, (In conjunction with some stuff I already have)

Then Target had these on sale!

I'm happy! Today was a busy day so check out my other post about my nail polishes I came home with. Stephanie OUT ^_^
