La Casa de los Pastelillos

Sunday I went here to eat with my family. 
It's so beautiful and peaceful.

GAP nail polish

This is my first GAP nail polish.
I have seen them before 
but thought they were a bit expensive
for the simple colors they had.
I found them today on sale for $3 [50% off],
so I bought one.
I should have gotten more!
Excellent formula and fast drying. 
Simple creme colors.
This is a gray that looks purple at time.
So pretty and classy.
All the pics are without flash
because it was the only way I could capture the color.
Still, I would say it's a bit more gray in person.

Pink zebra!

I saw this somewhere on Google
and I had to try it.
This is my second attempt since the first one
got all messed up when I applied the top coat. 
I was so mad, and since I was going out last night
my OCD wouldn't let me go like that
so I did it again.
I liked the first attempt more.
This one is not perfect...
and that bothers me.

Random manis!

Quick post!
Two random pics!

I added black tips to the Diamond in the Rough mani...
super cute! 

I did this mani using SC Black on Black for the base
and adding Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black on the tips...
then I added some silver dots.
In real life this mani was beautiful and unique...
but I couldn't capture it with my camera.
The CHB was showing up 
completely brown in the pics.

Birthday haul!


Today I turn 31!
I'm old! 
>.<

I had to run some errands, 
so I decided to stop at Sally Beauty Supply.
I found a box full of 
China Glaze and Orly 
on SALE!
I bought 4 CG and 1 Orly
and I only spend $6.41!
All CG were only $1 
and the Orly $1.99.

Diamond in the Rough!

This is Wet n' Wild Diamond in the Rough.
My first one from the ColorIcon collection. 
The application is really weird.
It's really thick, and rough to apply. 
Dries really fast. 
I did a base of SC Black on Black
then I applied 2 coats of Diamond in the Rough.
I want to try if with a gray base.

Had the worst time trying to capture what I saw.
It doesn't even look pretty, but it is...

Weirdest layering ever!

I'm in love!
This is so me!
Bright, pink and glitter!
It's got to be the weirdest layering
I have ever done.

I started with 2 coats of SC Dream On,
then I added 2 coats of Orly Bubbly Bombshell
and I finished with 1 coat of SH HD LCD. 

It wouldn't show with a flash 
so I only took 2 pics without flash.

SanSe 2012

Thursday night I went with a friend
to Las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian.
Had so much fun!
People, music, beers, more music, 
and more alcohol! 

Here's a link that you can actually
see them live going on right now... 
until tomorrow night!

Now, some of the pics I took.
Excuse the quality,
I took them with my cellphone.

Enrique Javier time!


Funky nails

I wanted something different!
I saw a similar design and I recreated it
with some changes.

The base colors
Bettina Pink Bikini, SC Black on Black
and Orly Angel Face
