Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous

Base coat

One Coat....

....two coat!
I really like this color it's a nice gunmetal grey with shimmer, but not an obnoxious amount. And as a bonus it's really easy to remove.

Last Friday Night

Well technically this Friday night, was a fun night. My mom was being an ass so I stayed at my friend Zack's house. We messed around with his guitars and piano. I also got stoned for the first time and drew, came up with a few good things, I posted them here (all they way at the bottom). Although nothing happened he was convinced the entire thing was an elaborate scheme to sleep with him because I hadn't seen him in a while...anyways it was nice.

A Thing I Will Do:


Starting March 1st, one drawing a day ( hopefully)

A Thing You Should Get:

e.l.f. makeup, all of it.
I wouldn't recommend buying foundations there, it's too small of a selection but I have tried a lot of the eye makeup and love the price and quality
Recently, I bought:
  1. 3 liquid liner pens
  2. eyeshadow neutral palette
  3. setting spray
  4. liquid liner
The total was about $20, $6 of that being shipping, let's see sephora do that.

Watercolor Nails

What you'll need: 
  • Base Coat, I'm using Revlon multi-care (965)
  • A few colors, they don't have to be in the same color family but they should be lighter and darker than one another (Revlon Charming 211, Impulsive 240, Essie Velvet Voyeur)
  • Top coat (Sally Hansen 33)
  • A makeup sponge (this is what creates the entire nail look

*The colors are so off here sorry
Paint your nails with the lightest color, mine are Lavender. I love this color, it's the best pastel I've ever found, one coat and solidly opaque.

Tear of a piece of your sponge at the corner. Tearing works better than cutting because it ensures the rough texture you'll need.

After your base dries paint your next color onto the sponge and lightly dot on half of  the nail.

 This is the texture you're going for

Repeat with the other color(s), let dry, then add a top coat!
You might have to clean up around your nails a bit too. Can do this with as many or as few colors as you want, and again they don't have to be in the same color family.

Thoughts on College

I took the PSAT (practice SAT) early this school year and am now being flooded with letters from colleges because I have relatively high scores. Honestly, I'm a B average student, I just know how to take tests.
It all got me thinking...I am pretty scared to go away.
Yeah it'll be nice to get away from my mom and hearing her bitterness about a divorce that happened when I was 5 but...gah.
I'm not worried about things like doing my own dishes, cleaning, etc.
It's the money part of it all that worries me, way more than it should, I have two years to find a college, but still.
*sigh*
Well, hey
Im a broke teenager with a love of makeup, fashion, and DIY. I'm just here to share it all with you. :)
