Triangle Half-Moon nails featuring Orly Sapphire Silk & Sephora by OPI If You've Got It, Haunt It

Hello to anyone that reads this! Happy 2013! This is my first post of the new year, how exciting.

Today I have a mani I did over the weekend. To others this is a super simple mani, but I'm just starting out with all this nail art stuff and this was my first time doing any type of half-moons, let alone triangle ones. I'm really proud of how they turned out!

Sephora by O.P.I. Tinsel Town Mash-Up swatches

Happy Saturday everyone! So my moms boyfriend got me the fabulous Tinsel Town eight piece Sephora set for Christmas. I actually wasn't sure about the colors in this set but after a closer look I fell in love with almost all of them.

This picture sucks, I know.
I couldn't find a clearer picture on the internet and all the ones I tried taking were just as bad :/

The first one I decided to try was Mash-Up which is the one I'm showing you guys today.

Sally Beauty haul!

So I might have gone slightly overboard at Sally Beauty the other day, but when there's a discount and all China Glaze polishes are $3.50 who can really blame me? 

Along with the 9 CG polishes, I got 2 Orly polishes, a 10 piece nail art brush set, Beauty Secrets acetone nail polish remover and 2 packs of Bling nail appliques.

Speechless.

I honestly don't even know what to say about the tragedy that occurred today, but I still feel like a post is needed. If anything, just to show that those killed today are definitely in my thoughts, and, especially, in my heart. How someone can willingly walk into an elementary school and murder 20 children along with a few teachers just baffles me. I can't imagine what those parents are going through tonight, and honestly I hope I never have to find out.

The Nail Junkie Holiday 2012 Polishes Giveaway

Native American inspired Bordered Chevron Friendship Bracelet

Tradition states that the recipient of a friendship bracelet must make a wish during the time the bracelet is tied and only when the strings break and fall off naturally does the wish come true.

I first made this bracelet for my best friend a couple of months ago. When she told me the colors she wanted me to use I was a bit skeptical, but it turned out to be one of my all time favorite bracelets that I've made so far. This was also the very first bracelet I sold over at my Etsy shop.

Colors:

-Brown

-Tan

-Turquoise

-Orange

Length:

-7.5in (fits most wrists)

I am selling it for $4 (+shipping) over at my Etsy shop, The Bracelet Factory. 

*Can be customized with whatever 3-4 colors you want for just $1.50 more!
