Nifty Nail Haul!


I remember my first encounter with colored nails, I was four. We were at a party I think and I was seated beside my horrible aunt with her long golden nails. I was so fascinated by it that I never stopped staring and so she looked at me and told me she wears fake nails so she can pick her nose easily, EWW. I know right? HAHA! Anyway, after that nail encounter, I asked my dad if I can paint my nails, he said no. But after he finished cutting my nails, he applied some Merthiolate to give my nails a pink shade. That was the start of it. 





Sorry for the random nail tale but I am currently staring at this lot of nail stuff I bought the other day, wondering how it got here and why I am poorer than my usual poor self. 



Cheap ass nail polish, lady said it's from Korea, but it might be one of those class A knock offs. Iono, it's pretty good though. Very easy to apply, creamy consistency and dries really fast. Still a bit expensive for something that came in a plastic bag. 



Nail water decals, I've always wanted to try these out so I bought a few for test run. 



Shit load of decals and stickers lol! If you look closely, far right you'll notice there's a Maruneko print right there! I'm really excited to try these out, think I'm gonna bring some at work and set up my own spa. 



Here you can see my first attempt at water decals. Water decals are evil, one size does not fit all! As you can see my nails are really wide and the decals can't even cover them properly so I guess this can be remedied by applying a similar colored base first. But anyway, even if the decals discriminate against my large nails, I still think it's pretty, cute and easy to apply and will definitely purchase more in the future. 



Now I've also been busy reading a few books I borrowed from a good friend of mine. These are really good! It's about love, magic and voodoo and witchcraft and so on, didn't even notice I was already halfway through when I started reading so you bookies better check these out. 



I'm gonna go and try to post my recent Kawaii acquisitions within this week, these came in yesterday so I'm really stoked! I'm just gonna go get ready for work, hoping for a fantabuolous week ahead! 
Til next post. 

My signature is ugly T3T I've always wanted a big one with Maruneko and stuff but I don't know how to do it and my pc can't even load them youtube tutorials to save my life so...

I think the flowers in the floral water decal would be only ones showing up if I put them on my nails, I have extremely tiny ones XD
