Nails & Etsy

I've wanted to do a post on my nails for a long time, but never got around to it. Here is my attempt at ombre nails!

I thought that pink is a nice summer-y color (and is the only color I have 5 shades of!).

Here's what I used:

*Thumb: Justice's Hot Pink nail pen

                 (left to right)

*Migi's Pink nail pen

*Petites Cherry Slush (my fave nail polish ever!)
*Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Pretty Petunia
*Cricket's Light Pink  This one is super old but still works beautifully! The bottle even looks vintage-y!

Sorry! Bad pic!

                              I finished it all off with a topcoat of Revlon Liquid Quick Dry!
                                                    Have fun trying your own ombre!


The other thing I wanted to mention is, drumroll please, I opened an Etsy shop!!!!! I'm so excited! My shop name is Freshhaze. I don't have much up right now, but I am working on more items! I am trying to save up to take pointe in the fall, and hopefully this will help. Please check it out!

One Direction

       Ok, I'm trying the Polyvore thing again. This is my favorite set that I've made so far!

New Look!

So I know my blog isn't that old, but I thought it could use a face lift. I love it! There are a few things I want to do that I can't figure out how to do though…

SQUEEEEE!!!!

SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!  OMGOMGOMGOMG  Guess what!! Today at ballet we got report cards! Guess what else!!!! I got in to ballet 3!!!!!! (4 is the last level) Me and my friend both really wanted to get in, so it would be just as bad as not getting in if you made it and the other didn't. Here's how it went down:
* Teacher hands us our report cards*
We look at each other. We look down. We read. I finish first. I read over her shoulder. I whisper, "We both got in." She doesn't say anything. She looks at me. She reads mine and re-reads her own. We look at each other. Then we scream and hug and jump in a circle and try and say stuff like "I'm so glad we both made it" and "We did it", only it just sounded like we were trying to pick up a cow or something, because we were screaming at the same time. I am soooooooo HAPPY!!!!!!! Now I can take pointe!!!! I just have to earn enough money to do that…    SQUEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
