30 Days Challenge- Day 26

Something you could never get tired of doing.

Nail art! I love doing random nail designs, whether it's flowers, dots, stripes just, anything interesting. I get really excited when I do something really cute and I get to show it off at school. Sometimes people ask me who does my nails and when I say that I do them myself they are shocked. Some people even ask me to do their nails for them.

It's just a fun hobby of mine and I really don't see myself stopping anytime soon.

4 Current (Random) Obsessions

The more I post on this blog, the more I realize that I might seem crazy to many people.
I obsess over things like you've never seen before.

If I like it one day, I'll probably obsess over it for 10 weeks after that. What's worse is that you'll hear me talk about it a million times before my obsession fades away.

But there are a few things that I've really been in love with these past few months.
Before I get started here, let me warn you, you may find some of these...disturbing. 



Like many nail enthusiast, nail polish is one of the things I love to collect. Not just collect, but wear, organize, and mix together.
Before this school year started, I made a promise to myself that I would give myself a different manicure every week. I am successfully accomplishing that. I've done glitter, patterns, ombre effects, and just simple polished manicures.
Now I patiently wait as I build up my nail polish collection.


I've had a really weird obsession with men's nipples.
Now before you 'X' out of this page for fear of hearing this turn into a sexual desire, let me first explain.
There's something about a man's nipples that is just very sexy. I just want to touch them, play with them, everything! I can hardly explain it, it's just something I've been guilty of for so long.
But they have to be the perfect size.
And of course, I used my boyfriend for this picture.


Water is delicious. It keeps my skin clear, my body healthy, and it keeps me hydrated for practice. I'm sure you'll agree that this is by best obsession so far.


Ever since I got my Snuggie for Christmas I have been attached to it like a 4 year old and a Barbie doll.
I got the zebra print kind, which in my opinion is the softest.
It's seriously the most comfortable thing I have ever laid on. Plus, it's a Snuggie! It's hard not to be obsessed.

Water Marble Manicure

photo credit: mysimplelittlepleasures.blogspot.com

This is going to be just a random post.
I gave myself a water-marble manicure! I know many people don't know how to do it or even what it is. So I'm going to tell you what it is and how to do it; it's a technique of painting your nails using water.

What you'll need:

-A cup or bowl (or anything you can dip your fingers in)
-2 different nail polish colors
-Napkins (preferably 3)
-Toothpicks (preferably 5)
-Nail polish remover
-Q-tips
-Bottled water (optional)
-Petroleum Jelly or Chapstick

Step 1- Fill your cup or bowl with the bottled water, tap water is fine. Make sure it's room temp.


Step 2-
Apply the petroleum jelly or chapstick all over your finger; front back and sides, down to your first knuckle. Avoid applying it to your actual nail. And only apply to one or two fingers at a time.


Step 3- Take the lighter color of the two nail polishes and apply it to all your nails. Including the ones with chapstick.


Step 4- Once that's dry, take either of the two polishes and drop a drop of it in the water. Then take the other polish and do the same. Continue this pattern at least three more times. Make sure you do this step quickly. You don't want to let it dry.




Step 5- Take the toothpick and move the nail polish around in the water. You want to create a pattern for your nails.



Step 6- Dip your fingernail directly into the pattern. Just pick which area you want to use.


Step 7- Take a toothpick and pick up the extra nail polish left in the water that is not on your nail.


Step 8- Take a napkin and remove the excess polish off your skin.

Step 9- Apply chapstick to another finger and repeat the above steps. Do this until you have painted all your fingernails.


Step 10- Use the q-tips and nail polish remover to clean up the edges of your fingers.

Step 11- OPTIONAL: Apply a top coat to your nails, if you'd like longer lasting polish.
