Nail update

I've been neglecting you guys from nail posts!Oh, no! How have you survived?
Haha, well here are some photos of my many mani pics that you've missed out on ;)
Tried some ombre nails.
Valentine's nails!
Just some red and leopard.
Emerald color of the year! And St. Patty's Day!
And this is my spring time mani that I've got right now. :)






What's black, white, and red all over?

Me!
(Not newspapers, dead pandas or anything having to do with a blender, hahaha.)

So this is my first outfit post, but I hope there are many more to come! :) I'm also eventually going to take some of my sister too. She's got awesome style. And by the way, she is responsible for taking these photos for me.









 Figured I needed at least one smiling one there at the end. :)
And I'm proud to say my entire outfit (minus my necklace I think) was on sale or thrifted.
My pants, shirt, and bandeau bra were all purchased from Bealls (extra 50% off clearance, people!).
Shoes are BCBG Girls for $8 from Goodwill.
My watch was on clearance at Wetseal and my bangles were clearance at Forever 21.

Overall, I'm pretty sure my outfit is just under $40. Pretty amazing, I think. ;)

In a galaxy far, far away...

I painted my nails. ;)
Last night I decided I wanted to try out galaxy nails, so I found a tutorial here: BeautyLish.com.
It is a really great tutorial and totally easy to do. You just need a few different polishes.
I used Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in White On, this blue shade of Ultra Pro (the label with it's name has fallen off, sorry), Revlon in Cherries in the Snow, Sally Hansen InstaDri in Uptempo Plum, and Pure Ice in Spit Fire. Just some colors I already had around. :)

shopping!

Shopping is probably my fave thing ever, haha. Seriously. I think I'm addicted.
What I'm really addicted to is finding super awesome sales. Like I did this weekend at Bealls and Bealls Outlet. They have become my favorite store for this very reason, haha.
All the time Bealls has this sale where you take an extra 50% off of clearance merchandise. It's seriously the best thing in the world.
So I'm going to share with you what I found and how much money I saved.


 Both pairs of these Madden Girl shoes were originally $55 each. One was on clearance 60% off and one was 50% off making them $22 and $27.50. Then they got and extra 50% off of that making one $11 and the other $13.75!

I found this shirt for $38 but it was 70% off becoming $11.40. Then with the extra 50% off it was only $5.70. So 6 bucks for a $40 shirt, hell yeah. hahaha ;)

Then I found this air of colored denim jeggings for $59. On clearance 50% off for $29.50, then it became $14.75.
,
Last but not least I got this skirt which was also originally $59. But it was 60% off making it $23.50, then becoming $11.80 with the extra 50% off.

So then after all of that I also had a coupon for $10 off of my purchase of $30 or more!
(which you can get through their website: beallsflorida.com. And if you sign-up for their emails, they let you know when these sales are happening.)


So for a total of $50.53 (yes that is all I paid!), I got about $270 worth of department store clothing.
I saved $219! That is so crazy.

Then I decided to go to Bealls Outlet. I don't go here often because they never really seem to have anything I want, but I did find a few things this time. ;)
So they don't give an extra 50% off their clearance here but they do have a clearance section and since it's an outlet store the prices are already reduced a bit.

This little blazer was $15.99 and 50% off making it $7.99.

 I CANNOT resist the comfy shorts! hahaha, these were 70% off of $9.99 making them a whopping $3.00.

 Both of these peplum tops were $14.99 and 50% making them each $7.49.

I have a collection of pink glassware that I keep in the window sills behind my bed, so I couldn't resist these.   They were both 50% off. The big one was $7.99 becoming $3.99 and the small was $3.99 becoming $1.99.

This wasn't on sale but it was only $6.99 and so cute! I'm now using it to store all my rings.

 I also collect really super, cute mugs. I have so many, haha. But this one was only $2.99 and so gorgeous!

So for 8 items I only sent $44.66! And I would have spent about $84. So I saved about $40!! Yay!

God, these sales make me so happy! Hahaha, and I totally get weird about them.

chained and studded!


These are my newest nails. Black polish with gold chain, micro beads, studs, glitter, and red on the inside!! Love them! They are so bad ass, hahaha.



So I'm also a bit closer to selling some nails. I've got some painted and I've photographed them.  In fact I think I'm going to be able to list some tonight! I have about 10 of them completed. I'm so excited!!
