New shoes!

I just bought these super cute shoes at Macy's for only $14.75~

They came in this simple black and red box...

Aaand this is what they look like!

And they even had this adorable little "G" on the buckle!

Well..that's all. I'll try to update more often now!

Nail Art

Since I am a HUGE fan of gyaru, I naturally have been interested in nail art. But all those gem-embedded patterns seemed way too difficult for a makeup and nail polish noob like me. I never really tried to do anything more complicated than a French manicure (which ended up kiiiinda globby and unattractive) for my fear of totally messing it up. But when I went to Vietnam to visit my cousins, they really inspired and amazed me. Their nail art was very impressive and I never see anyone in America doing nail art quite like theirs. I am now totally open to nail art and willing to try. So here's some pictures of my nail art. (:

Panda nails my cousin did for me! They were so cute and I couldn't stop taking pictures of them!

The onigiri (rice balls) nails my cousin did for her sister (:

My panda nail, my sister's watermelon nail and my cousin Pris's polka dot nails!

Okay, so this isn't nail art, but I thought this color was really pretty and girly. It's Set in Stone (180) in Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Collection.

Since I'm such a nerd, I had to make a pokeball and great ball nail art...it turned out pretty good,no? (Come on you Pokemon fans. I know you're jealous)

And a very patriotic nail...one month late for Independence Day...

And all three of them together. I really like the red, white and blue theme.

Well, obviously, I am still a terrible noob at nail art, but I really hope to improve! So anyone have any tips for me about nail art or even painting nails in general?
