Why am I Such a Misfit?

I find that spirit week sometimes inspires some great, and odd nail art. Today was based on the Island of Misfit Toys, and the criteria was to just be mismatched. I took this quite to heart, and my dad this morning (not knowing it was spirit week) thought I had gone off my rocker!

I used:

Maybelline Onyx Rush

Pure Ice Platinum Basecoat

NYC Sidewalkers

Essie We're in it Together

Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac

Julep Clara

Julep Coco

Revlon Infamous

Stripe Rite Green, Pink, and Yellow

I pretty much just included designs from all the elements in my outfit. This post taught me that I need to figure out another way to take ootd pics without my brother, since all of his turned out blurry. So became the weird leg-selfies. If you want to see my doll make-up you can check it out on my Instagram, @haleighbug333. I only took a picture of that right before washing it off sadly, so it's a little smeared. Expect more spirit filled nails from me this week!

Oh! I included a video of the misfit toys themselves in case you also had the song stuck in your head :)

Christmas Coco

So originally I only intended to take the first month of my senior year away from blogging to really focus… but then it turned into a whole semester. The longer I stayed away the harder I found to get back into it. I wanted to come back when my year bloggiversary was, but I had to work on my school's premier gala. Then about halfway through November I figured I would just come back after my ORLA was done, this huge assignment that all the seniors have to do where you basically write fourteen essays on one book. It was no bueno. So now as of today it's been four months since my last post, and high time I get back into it. I need more than just school and Netflix to stay sane lol. So today while I was deciding what I should paint, I was inspired by my mug of hot coco. I've got a sore throat and it really helps. I started playing around with the colors and patterns on it and really liked this one.

The trees on my cup have these little starbursts patterns, so I did this kinda loose interpretation of them. I think after this I'm going to end up making another cup.

I used:
Revlon Posh
Pure Ice Platinum White

I hope you are all keeping warm this winter and have a hot beverage of your own!

Next Stop: the Twilight Zone

Do do do do do do do do. The Twilight Zone is a classic example of science fiction, starting in 1959. The episodes that stand out the most to me is the one where a lady finds a stopwatch that freezes time, and the one where the English language changes so everybody is saying that Wednesday means a cat and dinosaur means lunch, but one guy isn't apart if the trasition so he's just left extreamly confused. 

At first I was going to do a skittle manicure of the different symbols from the intro, but the spiral was just so much fun to draw that I ended up doing all of my nails like that. I used a white gel pen to draw the spiral, it's much more precise than a nail art brush, and you can wipe it off if you mess up.

I used:

Maybelline Onyx Rush

White Gel Pen

Tokyo

I just couldn't get the manicure I wanted to do for Tokyo right before I had to leave, but here's the inlinks!

Red for Luck

Hey guys! I'm coming at you from the opposite side of the country, I'm in New York! My little brother is participating in a tournament in Cooper's Town, and I got to tag along. We're finally settled in to the rental house we're sharing with the rest of the team. I did all of my posts right before I left, so I'm editing and writing from my iPad. The only drawback so far is that I can't label the posts.

I decided on a simple look for Beijing, just a red and gold gradient. Red is often used as a symbol for good luck in China, it's everywhere on the New Year. 

I used:

Revlon Red

Maybelline Bold Gold

This is the last night to enter the giveaway, so if you haven't yet go now, there's a link in the side bar! If you want to see what I'm up to in New York you can follow me on Instagram, I'll try to post some cool pictures besides selfies. The other day I was at Niagara Falls and totally spaced taking any pictures!

I don't know how to auto-post.

Big apologizes to all my guest posters for the past week, apparently the way I thought you auto-post is not the way you auto-post. This is the first I've been able to get on the web, I'm at my grandparents house for the day then heading home tomorrow. I've posted them all now with the respective dates, I didn't see a reason as to waste perfectly fantastic guest posts. Thank you again to Dina, Charlie, Laura, Emily, and the other Laura for helping me out. Hopefully next time I'll have things figured out correctly :)

Laura is Guilty as Charged

So this is a little different for a guest post, I'm writing it, but the nail art wasn't done by me. It was done by my friend Laura, who I've mentioned before. She spent the night awhile ago and wanted to join in on my nail art stuff. So we walked to Walmart and bought some fake nails for her to play with. I also scooped up some new polishes which I will be sharing soon. Turns out what Laura can do on a huge canvas she can also do on nails. Who knew?

She loves Adventure Time, so she did some based on these ones at Chalkboard Nails. She used acrylic paint for these, and Essie In the Cab-ana for Beemo. 

 I have no idea where she drew inspiration from for these, I think she had a reference picture on my iPad. If you know where they're from please link to it in the comments. I also don't know what polishes she used, I'm guessing acrylic paint, but the purple might have been Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac.

These are also a mystery, I believe this was her own design. I know she used Julep Rebel  and Maybelline Onyx Rush for these. I went to sleep and when I woke up she had done like six sets. I didn't get to take pictures of all of them before she left, but the others were a Union Jack, pokeballs with Pikachu, some kind of drippy thing, and a silver black bubble thing. She's like a little nail art elf.
