NOTW: Festive Nails #2

Ooh my bad I forgot to even take proper pictures of my nails before they chipped like crazy, but here's the one off my phone. If you follow me on twitter you would have seen already. Speaking of which, follow me on twitter! If you have twitter that is, I actually update fairly often. I was quite proud of this creation.



My nails have been chopped down quite a bit since that photo was taken, they were getting annoyingly long not to mention the right index finger started to break the tiniest bit into my nail bed so I cut it pretty short.

Love Lisa.

NOTW: Festive Nails #1

OPI I'm Not Really a Waitress, CG Medallion

Eh, the glitter is layered very sloppily, I'm not happy with it but when you choose to remove your previous mani and redo your nails at 2am, the fumes from the remover, base, 2 different polishes and top coat become overwhelming.

I'll be doing different Christmas nails next week :)

Love Lisa.

The Family Car Is Out To Get Me

So I'm driving to have a check up with my maxillofacial oral surgeon and right outside his office, I'm trying to turn into the street and BAM the engine stalls. FML. Have you ever had you car stop suddenly in the middle of the road? Especially a busy intersection during peak hour?! Because it's damn scary.
And you know what doesn't help at all, my mum screaming at me that this is all my fault while I'm trying to reignite the engine.
Clap clap mum you've done it again in being supportive.

Also I forgot to note that the only person that gave me the time of their day to come and help me was a truckie (not to be cliche but he had a beard), who was driving a massive truck but even parked to then come out and help me. Thank you so much to him and to everyone else that just motioned angrily and impatiently at me...what did you expect me to do, jesus.

Surgeon said I did have a slight dry socket so I probably was looking at my jaw bone so I say HA to those that didn't believe me!

Currently been powering through Malcolm In The Middle, up to season 7 now.
Here are my nails for last week, never thought I would like turquoise nail polish but there you go. And the brown nail was just because I wanted to test the brown out, I didn't expect this mani to not chip for 7 days without a top coat. But it lasted so I left it on even though it's pretty mismatched.



Strange but last night at 3am, 'Iris' starting playing in my head as I was trying to get to sleep and it made me incredibly sad.


My newest complaint, on and off stomach pains over the past 4 days. Why won't they go away :(

Love Lisa.

Dentists and Xrays

Eyebags and dark circles, product of a very stressful year and sleep deprivation in the long term.


Went to a new dentist today. It was quite confusing trying to get there, I was sure I was in the wrong place I walked through about 4 very scary deserted corridors.
But the actual dentistry was really nicely renovated and modern.
After an initial consultation, I'm told that yes my wisdom tooth on the right side is already coming through and the gum in that area is infected. So off to radiology I went, and then I was told I had 3 wisdoms that need to removed. Oh joy of joys :(

At least I was prescribed some antibiotics and painkillers because the pain has been giving me a really restless sleep. Not to mention the fact that I generally don't sleep more than 5 or 6 hours a night, so if that sleep is broken well then it doesn't go down well.



I was amused by this brochure. If I saw a bus full of people smiling as someone got their ticket checked I would be afraid, very afraid.


My nails, the photo doesn't quite show the colour of the base colour very well. It's much lighter, more of a light tuape grey brown.


At least I finished my physics prac an hour early today. Yay.

Love Lisa.

Collective Haul & Fresh Prince *pic heavy post*

First off, today has kicked off to a most tiring start. Cleaned the fish tank, washed the dishes, cleaned my room (but I didn't do that great of a job ha).

Also I have a new obsession,  ebay, selling on ebay, browsing ebay, looking at ebay from a statistical point of view. Oh how I become fixated on these things, the last time I was truly taken by the ebay craze was in 2008.

And now for updates in pictures, enjoy...

Nails of the day across 3 weeks.

From top to bottom: CC Love Em Leave Em, CG Sea Spray + Shooting Stars,  CG Let's Groove + Medallion
Sorry these aren't the best photos, especially the second as I didn't have batteries for my SB600 so I had to use the pop up flash (I know I've become so snobbish when it comes to lighting). The second and third picture were all taken after about a week's wear and tear, hence the scraggly edges.


Collective Nail Polish Haul, so within a few months I've doubled the number of nail polishes I own.
Some of these I haven't even used yet, so I'll post up swatches and more in depth reviews when I do.









This is the Extreme III SD card and eneloop rechargeable batteries I bought for my camera/flash for the Oaktree gala last month. The batteries came in the 5th anniversary glitter pack, scoree, they are so pretty!
Albeit both were fairly expensive, total of $70ish.


Coming in the next Post ;D (aww the box is so dented)


Using a weekly planner Sophie got me year ago, unfortunately, but not to my surprise, I have been unable to keep up with my intended schedule.



Started watching the Fresh Prince from the very beginning and I am in looove. There have been tears in my eyes as I try to control my laughter at 3am. No idea why I didn't watch this earlier. I suppose I didn't have the series, and every time I watched it with Daniel, I was incredibly tired and hence did not stay awake long enough to enjoy it. But now I possess Daniel's external hard drive so that's just another distraction from study :P



Now I'm going to do calculus, I swear,
Love Lisa.

Nail Art Supplies and Other (pic heavy)

Hello blog readers,
I have been irrationally emotional as of late, everything has been upsetting me incredibly or annoying me beyond belief. So I apologise anyone caught in the midst of all of this.
I think this is me before we went out to celebrate Sylvia's birthday:

Yeah my makeup was smudged before I even left the house, lovely.

A week or so ago I received:

These weren't the only parcels I received in recent times.

Squee was I excited or what! I love getting mail.
Bows

Microbeads


Rhinestones

Nail/nail art glue

Dotting tools

Practise wheel (don't mind my dabblings on the wheel, I just had an urge to paint them)

Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese


All these except for the beads were purchased on eBay, all purchases were around $1-2 (almost all of these were with free shipping, I don't understand how ebay sellers could profit from this, doesn't international shipping even for a letter cost more than a dollar?)
I don't remember the sellers but if anyone wants to know I can find out for you.

Alright I'm not going to lie, I have made about 5 more purchases since I received the above, so I'm waiting on them now.
I guess altogether I haven't spent more than $25 or so on nail supplies including my most recent purchases. Which I think is pretty good :D

Soo, I will indeed be doing a complete nail look with the rhinestones, bows and beads within the next week. I'll be sure to document how it goes.

Also coming soon, full review on the BC-102 I am seriously in love with these:

Princess Mimi/Bambi Sesame Greys are currently on their way to me now too weoo ;D

Here is the crack/tear in my nail, it's not all that noticeable in the photo, nor do I know why you would want to see what it looks like.
Just my luck after growing my nails for 2.5weeks.


Galahs (or some other type of bird) on the street

Demolition outside where we learn jap :O


Love Lisa.

Dentist and a torn nail

My GEO Perfect Chocolate BC-102 lenses arrived a few days ago.
To give a timeline of events:
3rd May - Paid via paypal
Mid to end of May - the batch closed
26th June - Batch #24 arrived
28th June - My lenses were posted
3rd July - Lenses received in perfect condition and the anti-fake geo sticker has been verified online.

I purchased them from Geosupplier, yes there is a lack of up-to-date, consistent updates and replies to emails. You need patience, a lot of it. So if you don't want to wait possibly 2months+ (and not hear any/many updates) then consider spending about $5-10 more and purchase from a different website.

I'll have some photos up soon, they're completely natural looking. I love love looove them.

Today I went to the dentist, for a regular checkup/clean. Our normal dentist, Dr Peace has moved interstate (or overseas, I'm not sure which) so we went with the next available dentist. Dr Ting, she was pretty young, in her mid to late twenties at most. But she did a good job and wasn't rough like some of the dentists many years ago that left my gums bloody and teeth not thoroughly clean. As per usual I was told my brushing was fine but I needed to floss more. Alright, mission to floss daily instead of skipping days!

Not all that long ago my left thumb nail had a tiny split in it around half way down my nail length. It didn't seem all that bad until today I was doing something, getting out of the car and my nail must have caught onto something and it tore about half way along my nail bed, which absolutely killed.
I haven't grown out my nails in a while, I mean they're of moderate length but I like the look of them painted when the distal edge is about 5-7mm long (haha i know very precise)

**UPDATE**
I am have found a potential fix to my nails, I'll give it a few days and see if it holds before telling you a method that doesn't work.

Love Lisa.

Newest Fad

Nails.
I've gone nail mad, the number of youtube videos I have watched within 24 hours based around nail polish reviews and nail art tutorials must be at least 200 if not more (I skip through the majority of them).

So I made purchases totalling a few dollars on ebay, and let's see if I can get creative with my nails :)
Still want a NYX jumbo eye pencil but I seriously am struggling to afford anything over $5 right now. Plus there are a number of upcoming birthdays in the next month or so, I need to save up or get a job.

Also possible casual/temporary job, club photography. We will have to see how that goes.

Spent the day with Daniel, it feels so good to just be with someone I can talk to about anything, that makes me laugh and doesn't yell at me for no reason.


Don't mind the photo self potrait, lame I know. But this is the Superdry duffle and scarf weeo :D

After Sylvia's I think.

Well this was completely expected.

Bunnikins!

A few weeks ago.

Richmond station.

Love Lisa.

IPad

Okay so I'm on michael's iPad right now and the auto correct is a Nice feature although sometimes more hindering than helpful.
Damn I'm quite bad at typing on a touch screen, rotating the keyboard on the screen landscape would definitely help but I think the accelerometer has been disabled (if that is indeed possible,which I assume is)

What have I been doing today? Ooh I finished my methods bound book, and seeing as I barely used my specialist one it will all probably go to waste but it was good revision whilst making it.
Okay im going to eat pineapple now yum, this pineapple is so SO good I don't think I've honestly ever had such good pineapple.

I did my nails but they look gross aha, I'll see if i can fix em up tonight
Okay I don't know how to scroll in this text box there's no bar and no arrow keys on this keyboard. Once again I do apologise for any typos, blame the autocorrect.

Now that spesh is over I can finally concentrate on methods which I was really hoping to do well in since spesh will be plummeting into the depths of bottom 2, unless, in the unlikely scenario, I manage to do average then scaling will possibly boost it to top 4? Who knows
But I really have been neglecting methods, chem and physics, but weven though I knew I wouldn't do that well in spesh I still felt like I should concentrate trying to do as well as I could

YES I discovered how to scroll how silly of me it's a touch screen, just touch and drag Omg.
Anyhow I'm off for now. Note to self update iPod.

Love Lisa.
Ps. picked up on my horrendous typos, i probably didn't weed them all out yet.
