Well, It's about time!

WHY AM I SO BAD AT POSTING THINGS??

Luckily, school is over in only two weeks (I'm freaking out a little over this) so I'm going to have some more time to post things soon! And I really hope I can start doing some fashion/beauty posts!

But right now, I have tests to study for and projects to complete so I'm going to share what I looked like at prom! After those posts about my promblems, I am happy to report that things went really well that night and I am beyond happy that I went with someone who is just a friend because it just made everything so much easier!

Going from the top down:

Hair- I am so glad that I went to a salon because I would never have been able to do this on my own. I'm not bad at doing hair but after months of nothing to work with (the pixie), I've lost some of my touch! ALSO, I HAVE A BOB... MEANING THAT I'VE OFFICIALLY GROWN OUT MY PIXIE! (that's another post I have to get around to— the long journey of growing out hair)

Makeup: on my eyes, I did a quick grey/brown smokey look with thin black liner on the top and I used MAC's Vegas Volt on my lips.  The lip collage of the color is from temptalia.com, an absolutely amazing beauty blog with a huge selection of drugstore and high end swatches and reviews. 

The Dress: I posted a picture of it in a previous post but this is me with it on! I decided not to go with the insane pink platforms because they made me too tall and I decided that it would be better to just return them and get my money back because everyone takes their shoes off pretty early at prom. Instead, I wore my sister's gold heels and while they were a half size too small— and because of that, very painful— I'm glad I made the last minute shoe switch.

I almost forgot to share my nails!! Because of the cliche prom theme "a night to remember", I did galaxy nails and I'm really happy with the way they came out! 

And of course, nails

Just a quick nail update:

Springy floral nails

Cleopatra nails

If you want to see my nail designs more or less right after I do them, follow me on Instagram @anisatav 

Roses are blue, violets are red?

IT'S NAIL TIME!! Here are the nails, they never fail! They make me wanna wag my tail! When it's Friday, I want to wail "nAiL"!! (Blue's Clues is for winners)

I don't know how many times I've seen this type of design on nail related blogs and Tumblrs but it's probably about 6. Not an insane amount but enough to seriously get me interested. Upon further analyzation, I saw that contrary to previous judgements, the look was easy to accomplish. Other than a quick scare when my black nail art pen began to run out of juice, nothing went wrong. No runaway globs of polish, no opacity issues, and no misjudgments of rose size! I've gotten a lot of complements on this design (which always helps) and I think it's become one of my favorites. Will I do it again? How should I know? I usually like to mix things up but if I'm ever out of inspiration, there is a good chance that I will turn to these roses. Maybe in different colors but still, these roses. (Oh, I guess I do know if I'll do it again— but not really)

How to: paint nails a color, let it dry, add circle(y) things, add green triangles, outline the green and create "disconnected spirals" with the black.

And just as a side note— I know that by saying this everyone will see it but is anyone else bothered by my askew pointer finger? I couldn't get it to straighten when my thumb was down and now I'm concerned.

I'm pretty eager to switch it up again because I did this on Tuesday but I can't bring myself to take it off! This picture was taken earlier today so as you (no one because no one will read this) can see, my nails haven't chipped. I think the universe is looking out for me now that my birthday is ONLY FIVE DAYS AWAY(!!!).

Which reminds me, I seriously have to post some sort of birthday/wishlist. The only problem is that I have no way of creating a collage of the pictures. Bleh. Life is hard. But nails make things better. (Exhibit A ^)
