November Nails ☆ミ!

Hiya everyone~!  I'm going to share with you my nails for November today! Luckily, I've had a really relaxed week and was able to do these on the 31st. That hasn't happened for a while, so It's a bit exciting :D I hope it means I'll have more leisure time this month ;u;. Anyways, here they are~

Shooting star nails! It doesn't really have anything to do with the fact that it's November, but who cares? Not me!

It's weird for me to have my nails painted all black , but I'm really digging the contrast and all the sparkles! It's a great distraction during class xD. The blue blobs are supposed to be planets, but it's more or less hard to tell ;A;. I also found a better way to do stars! Just place a dot of nail polish where you want the star to be, and from that dot drag the color into 5 points. I feel like I'm going to have stars on my nails for the next forever because of this discovery xD.  What do you think~?

Also, Any lolitas if you would all be so kind to check out this post on my friend Hexi's blog, she's doing a project and filling out this short questionable would really help her out!

Thanks for looking ☆ミ!

October Nails and 30 Day Challenge days 23-26!

Hey, everyone! I'm so sorry for that unannounced blogging hiatus there @~@! Last Thursday, I caught a cold and pretty much slept through Friday and Saturday. I did go out with friends on Sunday, but because I'm still camera-less I couldn't really document it for a post ;A;.The truth is, lately I haven't really been up to anything whatsoever (other than schoolwork and avoiding said schoolwork), which makes for a seriously boring blog xD. I feel pretty bad leaving you guys hanging for so long, and I wish I had some sort of knock-your-socks-off post, but all I've got are my October nails, and a few days of the 30 day lolita challenge for you!

These were my nails for AWA! I left them out of that post on accident, but I still want to show you ;u;. I did them really hurriedly to match Fantastic Dolly, since that's what I was wearing on Saturday ;u;.

I actually planned on only wearing this design for that Saturday, and doing different nails for sunday but I was way too exhausted after I had arrived home to even think about spending an hour on my nails xD

And these are my October/Halloween nails! I probably did these around the 16th or 17th instead of the 4th or 5th like I had planned, mostly because of school work and not having time to sit and relax an paint nails ;A;.

So you can see the "bats" and "pumpkins" right side up

I do like them a lot though, even though some of the "bats" are more like blobs, and I don't know if I should even call those orange blobs pumpkins xD. I did it without any special art brushes or pens though, and so far people have been able to tell that they're not just color blobs, so I guess that's good! They're pretty messy and rushed  though xD. I had no patience to tape for the stripes this time haha.

Now for that 30-day challenge~  I'm going to do quite a few days since I've been gone so long! It's weird how close I am to finishing it!

★Day 23 - A picture of your handwriting★

hahaha my handwriting is a mess xD I've always been jealous of people with perfect tiny neat handwriting, but think this sort of suits me, however messy it may be! I remember in 5th or 6th grade practicing really hard to change my handwriting so it looked more like this instead of however it used to be, so I've no real complaints :P

★Day 24 - A picture of you from a meet★

I feel so sad because I haven't been to a meet in a while! This was the most recent one I went to where I was actually in lolita, and it was back in June I think. I miss going to them so much though, I hope I can make some of them this month or next.

★Day 25 - Your favorite lolita themed artwork★

It's so hard to choose! I really love the Lolita themed art my friend Ayu does, you should all check it out!

I think this one might be my favorite that she's done ;u; Click on the picture for a link to her DA!

I also really enjoy Crazy Spork I Am''s art! Even though this isn't a finished picture, It's my favorite thing I've seen form her, probably because I'm such a Dream Sky fan! Click on the picture for a link to her tumblr! (Not sure if thats where she mainly posts art, but she does post it there!)

★Day 26 - Your Facebook profile picture★

Oops~! This one's not a lolita picture at all! I'm sure you guys don't mind too much though ;u;

I think thats still from my birthday haha! I should change it soon~

I don't mind anyone adding me on my facebook by the way, so if you'd like to don't hesitate ;u;! A note that you were directed from my blog would be nice though~

Thanks so much for looking! I'll be sure to not let another week or longer pass between now and my next post. Thanks for sticking with me ;u;!

Updates ~! A little bit of everything ;u; (haul, crafting, nails & outfits!)

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having great days :D! Despite it being the dreaded Monday, I feel like everything is great right now ;u;. I have to say, I really enjoy my classes at school this year, and I've been having a lot of fun lately! On Friday after school was the first meeting of this year of my schools anime club (no shame ;v; I really do like a lot of older, and some newer anime and our club is pretty tame and usually a blast!), and after the meeting a few friends and I went off to meet another friend who is getting ready to go to college. Well, she cleaned out her bedroom, got all of her things that she never wants to see again, put them in her truck and let her friends dig though it for anything that strikes their hearts desire! Here's parts of the haul that I came away with

The Cardcaptors manga is actually a misprint! There are two first chapters and no second ;v;! I'm surprised she gave it away *u*!

I'm pretty sure there was more nail polish and a few games I ended up getting as well, but I couldn't find everything when taking the picture ;u;.

After that, we ended up spending the evening hanging out and making even more plans for the weekend! What we decided on was a sleepover, so we all spent Saturday together. Mostly we baked two cakes, danced around, played catch with an orange, had a few dramatic Yu-Gi-Oh! reenactments (Okay, so that was actually only my little brother and I haha), watched movies, decided to stay up all night, and did nails~ ! A really fun girls night ;v;. I really need to get a digital camera so I can take more in progress pictures of fun times, but I do have a picture of my new nail art~! It's a bit messy due to 3 in the morning, but I like them better than the last design ;v;

I also popped the lenses out of my cheapy mint sunglasses and covered them with rhinestones and cabochons ~ I really like the result! I've always had a liking for glasses, and always wanted to wear them, but my eyesight is pretty good and I have no need to ;^;. I guess this is sort of my way of coping with the fact that I won't ever need prescription ones xD.

I sort of want to find some in other colors and make more to wear haha~

worn picture ~

Sunday came along (I got all of three hours of sleep, from around 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM) and we decided to go over to H-mart to look into the cute shops around, get some SunO, and buy some snacks ;v;. After that, we went swimming for a few hours and then everyone left ;v; ~. It was a really fun weekend with some really fun people :D!

I'll leave you all with a few of my recent outfits ~

August 2011 Nails~

Hello everyone~! I realize it's already halfway through August, but I haven't felt up to posting them this time around ;v;. Mostly because I only changed them since my July nail design was chipping and way too grown out to still look good xD. I didn't sketch out the design of these like I usually do, instead I decided the night before school started that I wouldn't be able to fall asleep anyways and that I might as well paint them (which I didn't sleep so haha!). Anyways, here they are~

What do you think? I'm not the happiest with them, I think they're too boring! Since my birthdays coming up in September, I'm excited to design something party-ish for my nails next month!

Thanks for looking you guys~!

Update and Nails for July 2011 ☆ミ!

Sorry for being gone so long! I've basically not been doing much anything at all lately, other than being at home and occasionally going out with family and friends~! On Thursday, I met up with Caylee from ♥ like candy floss and we went out to shop a bit, eat pho and attend a free SunO party! SunO is a shop that sells flavored shaved ice with lots of yummy toppings! I'm not sure how many locations there are, but I think they're only in Georgia. If you're interested in seeing some pictures, you can check out Caylee's post about it here~ I still need to get a proper camera to take pictures xD

Anyways, I want to share for you my nail art for July! I know it's not July yet, but I was ready to change them~ plus they were chipping a lot and that never looks good xD

Do you guys like them? Looking at them, I think I would rather have put black dots on my ring finger and white on my index finger, but oh well! I really like the way the stripes look, they sort of remind me of candy! I keep thinking of the song Fantasy Candy by Aira Mitsuki when I look at them xD!

Thanks for looking! ☆ミ

(P.S. More 30 day lolita challenge coming soon ~)

30 Day Lolita Challenge Day 9 and 10 & June 2011 Nails ☆ミ！

Hey, everyone! I'm finally going to pick up the lolita challenge again with day 9 ;u;.

★Day 9: 10 things you would never do in lolita★

Thinking about it, there's not much that I wouldn't do in lolita! Only a few obvious things that would ruin my clothes or where it would be completely inappropriate.

☆ One ~ Participating in any sporting event. I'm not big on sports, I actually dislike playing most sports with a passion xD Me playing any sport in itself is a bit outlandish, and I could never imagine doing so in lolita!

☆ Two ~ Swimming. It's a big obvious but why would I ever jump into a pool in lolita? xD I wouldn't want to swim in any other clothes either, that's what bathing suits are for! Ironically we have a lolita river tubing meet up coming up, thought I'm pretty sure most of us will show up with our swim suits handy.

☆ Three ~ Gardening. That's just a mess waiting to happen.

☆ Four ~ Exploring. I mean like running through the jungle type exploring. I can understand going into woods or abandoned buildings for photo shoots, but swinging on vines tarzan-style and tree climbing is probably not a good idea.

☆ Five ~ Taking care of animals. I don't mean hanging around with your pet, but if you're working at an animal shelter or anything like that, it's probably not a bright idea xD.

☆ Six ~ Going to an amusement park. If I'm walking around in a place where food is thrown everywhere and grease from riding roller coasters is easily transferred onto your clothes,wearing lolita would probably not be my first priority :P.

☆ Seven ~ Traveling. You and I both know that having one or two waistbands gets extremely uncomfortable after awhile, especially when you're sitting down. No matter how I look at it, wearing a full lolita coordinate while traveling is a bad idea.

☆ Eight ~ Intense cleaning. Dirt, dust, and grime along with pretty, expensive clothes? Nahhh.

☆ Nine ~ Going to a funeral. I just don't think it's very appropriate.

☆ Ten ~ Meeting with people who are uncomfortable with you in lolita. If they really don't like it, the least you could do would be not to wear it around them.

So that's that! 10 things I would never do in lolita ;u;.

★Day 10: Whats in your bag?★

Instead of taking tons of pictures, I decided to do a video of all the things in my bag. It's not all super cutesy stuff, but please enjoy anyways!

And last but not least, Here are my nails for June! I really like the blue sparkly polish (It looks more minty, actually). I was trying to draw stars, but they came out super messy xD Oh well! What do you guys think? Know any surefire ways to get perfect stars?

Thanks for looking ~ !

May 2011 Nail Art!

Hi~ everyone! To take a break from my lolita challenge posts, I have a picture of my nail art for this month ;u;! May has always reminded me of flowers, maybe because of the combination of Spring and Mothers Day. Anyways, I decided to try my hand at a flower pattern this time. Even though it was my first time ever doing floral nail art, I think it turned out okay! My family could tell they were flowers, so I think I did well enough ;v;. I'll need to practice the technique more to perfect it though.

What do you think? They make me feel so classy LOL.

Thanks for looking ~☆

Happy Mothers Day!

New Nail Art~!

Hi everyone! Remember in my April 2011 Nails Post how I said I messed up that nail design pretty bad and pretty quickly? xD? Well, I got around to painting my nails again shortly after ;v;.

I tried to do pastel gradients along the tips of my nails and add a lot of sparkle, but the gradients didn't turn out perfectly xD. I find that nail enamel doesn't gradient as well as nail lacquer, probably because of the thickness and opacity. The blue color is a new polish, so this was kind of it's test run ;u;. I think next time I use it, I'll mix it with a little white to make the color a bit more pastel~. The lavender (Nice is Nice by Essie. Definitely one of my favorites *u*) Has the best gradient effect. I really like how the pink (Petites Soda Fountain) looks as well,. The yellow ( Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Lightning) doesn't gradient very well at all ;~;. I like the way the mint (Revlon Minted) gradients, I wish I wasn't so messy with it xD. Anyways, I hope you like this simple design ;u;

Thanks for looking!

April 2011 Nails~!

Hello~!

Finally I have a picture of my April Nails!! Or, actually, I had a picture the entire time but didn't remember xD. Apparently, I took a picture a few days after I painted them, never emailed it to myself and forgot about it completely, went to Savannah, chipped my nails, came back, got spray paint all over my nails (art class ;u;) , and pretty much gave up on getting a picture of my nail art for this month xD. Luckily, while scrolling through pictures I had taken I found a decent one :D!

So~ here they are! My nails for the month of April ~

I really did like these while the polish was still intact! I really like yellow and lilac together :D And the polkadots because (in case you couldn't tell;;;) I've been a bit obsessed with polkadots recently xD.

Thanks for looking!

March 2011 Nails!

It's March 1st! Happy March you guys! I'm happy because I actually did my nails around the week after valentines day for march xD. They're not particularly themed or anything, but Momocon (free convention in Atlanta) is being held soon and because I'm participating in one of the panels as a model of fairy kei, so I did kind of want them to match that ;u;.

Anyways, here they are~!

How do you all feel about them? I used an odd technique and kind of just did whatever I wanted xD I hope it doesn't look too weird! Also, I'm loving pink and purple combinations lately~.

I've been thinking of updating my nails maybe twice a month from now on, but we'll see I guess.

Thanks for looking, you guys~!

February 2011 Nails

As promised, I have my February nails done and ready to show you guys!

How do you like them? I really wanted to do a chocolate theme, since Valentines day is coming up. I needed to use pink as well because, well, its February! Thats the month to use pink ;u;. I've also been feeling ink deprived lately xD. I also really wanted to try frosting tips. I feel like I put two or three February themes together xD. I love them though! ;u;.

Atlanta Lolitas High Tea Meetup!

Hello everyone! sorry again for not posting for a while x~x. School makes it hard, but I promise I'm trying really hard ;u;!

I'm not sure If I've talked about it here, but yesterday the Atlanta Lolitas hosted a high tea meetup in the Four Season hotel. It was, in a word, amazing. I had such a great time seeing everyone again and meeting so many beautiful lolitas for the first time ;u;. Of course, I took a TON of pictures. And half of them turned out blurry so I have a lot less than I imagined. Once the photographer posts their official photos, I'll be sure to link those here as well so you can see the whole group (or at least the whole group that arrived when were still taking group photos xD).

First off, I'll show my outfit ;u;. Blouse and skirt are bodyline, accessories are handmade by me or someone else and offbrand, except earring which is 6%dokidoki, tights are welovecolors, white fishnets are from hot topic, and shoes are SS.

I actually did my nails this way halfway through January, but I'm just now posting pictures of them xD. I think they were fairly appropriate for the high tea, since the theme was Rococo. I'll have new February nail art sometime this week though~!

Next are pictures from the event! I don't have them in order since my computer rearranged them and I can't remember exactly, so here are some pretty people~! everyone looked SO gorgeous. I only wish I had gotten more pictures of all the Rococo themed outfits ;~;.

Don't be fooled! They weren't as good as they look! The tea sandwiches we had were amazing, but I was too hungry to remember to take pictures of those xD. That chocolate covered strawberry though~.

These two looked so great ;o; I wish I could see them more often. Jessica on the left isn't from Atlanta so it was a great treat to see her again! and Brittany looks as beautiful as always ;u;.

All three came from Alabama, if I remember correctly >u<. I wish they lived closer, they look so wonderful and are so sweet! Must see you guys more!

She is SO SWEET~! I wish I could remember her name, but I'm seriously looking forward to meeting her again soon ;u;!

I have also completely forgotten her name ;^; ( EDIT: I'm told her name is Robin. Fits her so well ;u;). I'm so terrible at remembering names xD. I wish I could remember because shes so sweet and gorgeous and talented! She wore the most amazing gown, and get this - handmade! So jealous x3

Just a cute shot of a bunch of cute filly girls chatting ;u; I loved seeing the circles of poof form and forming some myself xD.

And last heres a picture of my friend Betty and I. I look like such a derp here haha xD.

I hope I can continue going to events with the community I love so much!

Of course there are so many more photos, but I didn't take any that can really show how awesome everyone looked in one. I wish I could, but it was so hard to do! I'm anxiously awaiting the photos the photographer took.

Also, If I have any pictures of you you would prefer for me to take down, contact me and I'll do so ;u;.
