nails

I started May off in my favorite place in the world, New York City, with my extended family who I love and have missed dearly. My time in New York revived me. It opened my eyes. After a difficult talk with one of my close friends I decided I wasn't going to wait for life to get tired to hit back, and that May was going to be a month for change and growth. It goes without saying that being vaccinated and spending time with my vaccinated family members was my favorite thing about late April/early May. However, I wanted to round up some of my favorite things right now. Big shout out to my friend Liz for these first three favorites. They were birthday presents!

I hate, hate, hate chipped nail polish. If there is one thing I cannot stand on myself and others it’s chipped nails. I totally get it. Not all of us have a personal manicurist on hand and in a society so demanding chipped nails are inevitable, right? I’d like to think I’m one of the women who tries to avoid this tragedy at all costs. Last July, I started doing my own gel nails and I’ve never looked back. I still remember the first time I got Shellac done at a salon my junior year of high school, I HATED IT. My French was too thin, and it started chipping within a week. I’m pretty sure that was the first time the lady had done it as well. Also, taking gel nails off can be the biggest pain but I’ve learned some tricks here or there. LED lamps are life changing, honestly. No chips, your nails (may or may not grow stronger and longer), and your finger nails look nice all the time.

Last time I saw my high school French teacher she was wearing this amazing shade of polish. I fell for it instantly and prayed it came in gel. It's called Peace & Love & OPI. My picture doesn't do a justice whatsoever but its a duochrome from OPI that shifts from blue to purple. I knew I had to have it. Despite the $16.50 price tag, it was worth every penny. Plus it’ll last 2+ weeks without chipping! I'm obsessed. Tell me your thoughts on gel nail polish! Why or why not?

Happy Friday!

I had the honor of sleeping in/not going to school today so I made the best out of it! My best friend Abbey and I went to go see Side Effects a psychological thriller with Jude Law and Rooney Mara in it. Though I spent most of my 1 hr 46 min ogling at Mara’s ombre hair and Jude Law’s handsomeness, I did enjoy the film, and recommend it. We went to get ice cream later and briefly ran into a few stores. Nevertheless, I found the rings entertaining (excuse my chipped polish). I am wearing: Best Friends hat beanie by Band of Outsiders from the Target x Neimain Marcus collection, leather jacket from Aeropostale (I got it for $20 when it originally was 50), my favourite red flannel from Pac-Sun, black cami, black jeans, Vans, and a brown satchel from Target a few years ago! It was freezing outside but my outfit was fairly insulating!
