Valentine’s Day Nails 4

Published February 13, 2012 by afrosandlipgloss

I had been sitting on Sally Hansen’s Strobe Light for awhile. I wanted to do a pink look today. I like the mix of the Girl-Next-Door pink and then the Don’t-Let-the-Young-Face-Fool-You ferocity of the animal print accented on the thumb.

Be aware.

Colors:

Sinful Colors: Pink Forever

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails XTreme Wear: Wet Cement and Strobe Light

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails: White Tip

Yesterday was my last day of the juicing challenge.

See how much weight I lost in the final analysis.

I will continue to eat a plant-based diet and will continue to lose weight.

My mom is continuing on for another 30 days.

I am excited to try new vegetarian recipes and have a new found appreciation for a good soup.

 

Happy Birthday Bob Marley

I’m in such good company being an Aquarius. Oprah, Alicia Keys, Michael Jordan, John Travolta, Abraham Lincoln, etc. Factoid: Gregory Hines, Hugh Downs and I share Valentine’s Day birthdays.

Today is special because Bob Marley was born on this day and I wanted to pay tribute to him.

As I got ready, I was listening to the Bob Marley Pandora station. He told me to “Lively Up Yourself!”

This is what I came up with.

Oh yeah, in other news….I passed both exams for teacher certification in English!!

Today was a good day!

Valentine’s Day Nails 3

Not all Valentine’s Day nails have to be red and white.

I have a bottle of L.A. Colors nail polish in “Black Velvet” that just sat there looking at me for years and this was my first time using it. I really like their formula and am pleasantly surprised. It is creamy like China Glaze and dries quickly. They sell them at my local Dollar General and that’s part of the reason I never gave it any love. I thought the color would be sheer and chip easily since its super cheap.

But I should know from Sinful Colors and WetNWild that the least expensive brands can be some of the best kept secrets.

I’m feeling this challenge.

I can get creative and it’s all for love!

The rhinestones are actually heart-shaped, not sure if you can tell but I’m thinking of doing junk nails soon. I need some supplies. I’ve also seen a few people use eyeshadow and clear polish so look for these in the near future.

This manicure:

Essie: Funny Face
Sally Hansen: Hard as Nails White Tip
Sally Hansen: Hard as Nails Cherry Bomb
