Day 221 - Newspaper Nails

Look! Letters on my nails!

I attempted to do this about 2 weeks ago but failed miserably, because the instructions I found then were incomplete. Anyway, after further research I found better instructions (you're supposed to coat your nails light polish before you soak them in alcohol!) and after I was asked not to come in to the office today, I found the time to try it again.

And viola! My newspaper nail experiment is successful. Sort of. I mean, the letters still aren't that clear and even with that highly edited picture it still looks a bit messy but forgive me, I'm not a girly girl and have always found it hard to paint my nails. I actually don't know why I still attempt to do it when I know that I suck at it. -_- Maybe because I feel so artistic when I do things that involve cutting up newspaper. Hehe. :P

Day 64 - A Toast to the Couple

I guess I was bored and wanted to do something new while waiting for my friend at the mall, so I went and got my very first manicure. And before you wonder what the connection is to the title of this post, that is actually the name of the color of nail polish that was used. I guess the more common name of the color is "champagne", but since it's a little pinkish, that's what they put on the bottom of the bottle.

I was hoping to get blue or green polish, but the place I went to only had reds and pinks. Oh well. Maybe next time I'll be luckier.
