Nails of the Week!!

I had a lot of fun with this nail design! I just got some nail art application glitter and bead chips, I was really excited to use them! But for this design I think it would have been better if I had waited..I still like it though. Looks very 'beachy' to me.
Polish and things used!
*maurices nail color (I wasn't able to find an actual color discription but its a light shimmery pink)
*cina white nail art pen
*Konads red special nail polish on plate m51
*cina nail art kit 133443 over the rainbow
*sally hansen advanced hard as nails top coat

What should I do to keep on track?

My friend and I started training for a 5k this summer, but when she went back to college we were kind of on our own. I discovered I'm not very motivated to run when there's no one waiting for me! Our run is this coming sat and I want to run every day this week, to get back into shape a little bit! Do you guys have any suggestions on how to train the best way, and to keep myself on track?

How should I wear these?

My friend got me these boots for Christmas last year, and I've only been able to wear them once. I got soo many judgmental looks! I wore them with a knee high knit dress, I didn't think it was inappropriate. But I also live in a very small town where people aren't used to seeing people wear things like that. lol! But I'm wondering if you guys have any suggestions on how to wear these, I'd like to give them a second chance!

Hot or Not?

Hot or Not: Over-sized sweater with a maxi skirt
I've seen this style a lot this fall, and I do like it, but I'm scared to do it myself. I feel like I would look like I'm drowning in fabric! I want to know, what do you guys think? Is this a look that only looks good on the runways?

LUUUX review!

I just signed myself up for a LUUUX account yesterday, and I'm already in love with the sight! You can write little posts about anything from food to makeup to technology to even your latest vacation! Something very unique about this sight is that you can earn 'LUUUX bucks'. You can earn them by posting blogs, by commenting on other peoples posts, and by sharing on other sights such as facebook and twitter. When you collect enough LUUUX cash you can buy yourself REAL items! anywhere from tvs and iphones to makeup and shoes! You can even donate that cash to different charities! This is such a cool sight and I'm totally loving it right now! It's so interactive and not only do people actually read and comment on what you put, but you get such a unique chance to learn about such a wide variety of different things! I highly recommend checking this sight out! Heres a link for you guys! http://www.luuux.com/

Konad Nail System!

 Before I start my little review on how much I love this system I just want to apologize for such blurry pictures! I didn't realize they were coming out so badly!


             You can get everything you need to do this at http://www.wowsocool.com/ I absolutely love it! It's super easy and super cute!!


First you put a coat of the Konad special polish on top of the design you want. A couple of my girlfriends got this before me and told me any thick polish would work..and it does. (My sister can do it just fine too..) But I really struggled with it. I think the Konad special polish is worth it! Makes the process a looot easier!! (for me at least!)



Then you take the scrapper and scrape the nail polish off the top of the design 





Then you take your stamper and roll it across the top of your design, picking it up.
(Again, sorry for the blurriness!)




Here's the finished product!!  Such an easy way to get such awesome designs!



Let me know what you think about this and what you'd like to me to talk about in the future!
