Another bracelet I made last night =) This time I used 6lb test fishing line (instead of wire) and I LOVE IT!! The fishing line is so much easier to work with, I didnt have ANY breaks in the line. When I used wire it would get 'kinked' up and break sometimes =( I think this is my favorite bracelet now!
This style is called "herringbone" or something like that. Its a bit more complicated than the style of weaving below, and it takes for FREAKING EVERRRRR to do compared to the style below.. but it looks good right? This particular bracelet is made for a little girl about 7 years old, so its not as big as my others. Made with 11/0 size seed beads, jewelry wire, and 1x round wirework bead for the flower
I actually LOVE these beads, and I love this bracelet in general. Its a fairly easy weave (takes about a little over an hour to make a full bracelet) and the beads just 'feel' good on the wrist. Im going to be wearing this particular bracelet for a loong time ^^ Made with 8/0 size seed beads and jewelry wire
So Ive started a new hobby, which is beading. Ive been into beading now and then since I was a kid.. though none of my 'jewelry' was very appreciated (or worn) ;( Im hoping this time around I can make something 'wear-worthy'. This is just my first attempt in making something. I ordered some more materials like wire and better beads.. but for now this is all I can come up with The ring is size 11, made with blue, white, and black seed beads. The 3 'pearls' in the middle are just some extra beads from a bracelet I had that broke a long time ago. Once I get my new stuff Ill be sure to make MUCH better stuff than this =)
In ode of the double rainbow guy on Youtube, I decided to paint my nails in rainbow fashion =) I know it looks kinda messy and my nails are shorter and I wish I had yellow nailpolish.. but they look decent I guess.
So I got a BUNCH of new nailpolishes from Ebay and omg I love them!! They're from a line called "Precious Metals" by Wet N' Wild. My favorites are the deep red (Graphite) and the silver color. I have a 24k and Bronze color too from the same line.. but Im not too fond of the color gold.. Maybe next time ill try some design with a gold background just to switch things up =D
The camera doesnt really pick up the true sparkly-ness of the polish though!! :( It makes your nails look almost like theyre covered in foil with tiny sparkles and it looks GORGEOUS in real life, I swear!
I know I havent made a post in a few months, I don't have any followers yet so I dont think anyone is too worried about it LOL Here are my nailz this time! The pink polish is called "313 Pink Forever" by Sinful Colors
OH, and if you were wondering.. my nails are 100% REAL. I have never worn false nails for more than 10 minutes in my life =) I don't do anything special other than use non-acetone based polish remover (prevents drying out and breakage of natural nails) No strengtheners, no hardeners, no cremes, nothing! And Ive never had a manicure in my life!
I was waiting for my new nail brushes set to come from Singapore.
I bought a 15 piece nail art set similar to this set below.....
The entire set costed only $3.49 with shipping, so it was an excellent deal! (Of course shipping took roughly 14 days but still worth the wait!)
So right away, I started playing with my nailpolishes =) Here is what I came up with ---
Im sure the colors I chose matches *someones* outfit out there
Inspiration for this nail design came from this video LOVE4NAILS on Youtube!
its been a few weeks since Ive blogged about my nails. Did anyone care? Nope. Do you know why? Because no one is following me! Yep, that's right. I have ZERO followers. HEHE I hope that changes sometime

And this week's theme is...tiger stripes!
Rawr. I'm gripping an invisible c***!
The edges aren't quite cleaned up.. but you get the idea My other hand looks just as good and Im surprised. It took me roughly 30 minutes to handstakingly paint the stripes on my left hand (Im horribly shaky and left-handed)
