More nails...

As my mom pointed out to me, the content on this blog is really getting bland. Yes, I love doing my nails but I would like to write something soon. Unfortunately, I will have to hold that off until after about a week into May when my important AP tests are done.

But for now, more nails! The first one I did for a friend and the second one is me.

Also, my birthday was dandy and my grandmother got me the red/orange pants that I wanted! So I guess this means that I can't say that I never get stuff from those wishlists....

Preparing for a great birthday

This post is going to be very short but I wanted to share that I GOT MY LICENSE! and I painted festive (birthday) nails yesterday. 

So first, the nails. I've been digging Make My Day, which is a nail blog/artist/company thing (I honestly don't know what it is). The designs on the website are so interesting to look at and while I'm clearly not the best at designs that rely on being precise, I thought I would try one of the simpler designs.  

To complete the look, I started by painting my nails a very very very very light green (almost white) and then I went in with one color at a time to do the chevrons.

And my license— the test went surprisingly well! It was my second attempt (my first try ended right after  I just barely failed parallel parking) and I was very lucky to have a cheerful person administer the test. The entire time, the woman judging my driving skills was talking about her motorcycle, hybrid cars, gas prices, and the other kids who take the test. After I was told that I passed, I couldn't stop smiling! If I had failed, it would have made for a decently bad birthday. Now, I have nothing to complain about! ... but not really. 

Birthday Wishlist!

It's already the middle of the month but my birthday is still three days away so this is still relevant! 

Bags! I've been using a black vintage Coach bag for a while now and I think I'm ready to mix things up and get something fun and bright for spring. Now, I want to clarify and make it known that I don't actually get the things on these lists— I just want them. So for my birthday/April I'm really diggin' the Rebecca Minkoff Woven Mac Clutch in yellow and the See by Chloé Poya bag also in yellow.

I also really need a new bathing suit! For those of you who would also like some swimwear, I would highly recommend checking out Asos.com(where I found these two) because they have an excellent selection of things and great prices! I really like the extension and pattern on this top and the bottoms match perfectly! Definitely and upgrade from the boring bikini that I wore last year.

As I mentioned earlier, I wear jeans all the time but recently, I've been getting tired of blue. To change this up, I'm looking to get a red-orange and something with a floral print. I found these two on UrbanOutfitters.com so there is a possibility of me going to the store and getting a pair.

Now that I pretty much only wear highwaisted skirts and I'm transitioning into highwaisted shorts, these types of tops are becoming easier to wear. I also don't really own shirts so I need a few. The structure and African print drew me into the purple one and the relaxed feminine pattern attracted me to the red one. 

 

 And lastly, jewelry Because most of the things that I want are usually plain (this list isn't a good example of that but you'll have to trust me on this one) I like getting interesting necklaces to spice up my outfits. I might to a post later on my go-to accessories and in that, it's pretty clear that I rely on necklaces more than earrings or bracelets for that.
