Job hunting!

I finally did it. I quit my job! I couldn't be any happier right now. It feels so good to be free of all the drama, depression and uncertainty that was associated with it. But that means I have to job hunt now...which isn't all that fun either. I'm just praying I find something soon! :)

For today's fauxnad of the day I used a polish that didn't get much attention from the nail blogging world (as far as I'm aware of) by Revlon called Downtown. It came out with the Edgy Elegance collection which came out about a year ago, I think. It consisted of 8 polishes, all with the same metallic/shimmery like finish. The formula on Downtown was a little on the thick side but applied well. This is probably one of my better stamping jobs as it is really hard for me to fit any design on my nails at their shortest. So here tare my nails filed down as far as possible with a design from the BM-225 plate.

Al fin hice la decisión de dejar mi trabajo. Pase varios meses pensando sobre el tema pero gracias a dios la señora con la que trabajaba me lo hizo bien fácil. Ya estaba super fastidiada con todo y viéndolo bien fue la mejor decisión que pude haber hecho. Para mientras estaré buscando otro trabajo y ojala no se me haga muy difícil.

Ahora les tengo un esmalte de Revlon que salio el año pasado con la colección Edgy Elegance que se llama Downtown. Y de ahi decidí ponerme una estampilla porque casi nunca lo hago. Me cuesta mucho hacerlo porque casi siempre los diseños son muy chiquitos para mis uñas.

I.Hate.Mondays!

Just when I thought things could not get any worse, they did. I accidentally ran over a parking block and messed up my car. I don't even want to know how much my stupid mistake is going to cost. I just adopted a dog, the person I work for has seriously cut down on my work days and now the car problem. I feel like all I ever do here is whine about my personal life but times have been rough! Sorry! :( Anyway, this is all so depressing because all of this money is money that could have gone to pretty polishes I've been wanting and now it is looking like I'm going into a low-buy/no-buy.

Back to what this blog is about...today I have a Robin Moses inspired mani. I did this a while back and totally loved how it looked in person. Obviously mine is no where near as awesome as Robin's but I tried! The base polish is China Glaze - Harvest Moon (love this color!) and the design was made using acrylic paint I bought from Michael's. The brushes used were those cheap ones from eBay that come in a 3 pack.

Ahora me encuentro un poco deprimida, discúlpenme. :( Ayer fui a hacer un mandado y pegue mi carro contra un bloque de cemento en el parqueadero. No tengo idea como es que no logre verlo! Estoy un poco preocupada por razones de dinero. Como les conté, hace poco adopte a un perrito, la señora con la que trabajo no me esta dando muchos días de trabajo y ahora con lo del carro...no se ni lo que voy hacer.

Pero dejando mi vida personal a un lado, la manicura de hoy fue inspirada por Robin Moses. Claro mi diseño no me salio como el de ella pero era mi primera vez jugando con pinturas acrílicas y brochas! :) El esmalte que tengo puesto es China Glaze - Harvest moon y las flores las hice con pinturas acrílicas.

sorry for the blurry pictures!
