Will You Bring Food?

Yesterday was fun, even if it was spent in a partial haze from exhaustion. Sometimes, it's just impossible to get your brain to slow down, especially when you quite distinctly have to get up in two and a half hours. So I ended up sleeping in and meeting Casey at the Bolevard in the afternoon. Bolstered with coffee, we wandered around as usual and did our thing.

We spent a good long while hanging out with a friend before heading to the Underground Lounge. Casey was excited cause she's an official grown-up; I was excited cause I was allowed in at all and was promised snacks. I've since discovered that I actually really like fried pickles.

That's really the full extent of my interesting day. I came home, ate dinner, and crashed much earlier than usual.

On a barely related note, I've brought my purple dress back into circulation. That's the best sign that the weather has been lovely. Well, here, at least.

Thank you, Casey.

Four-in-the-morning manicures are a thing, right?

The lounge also doubles as a cosmic bowling alley.

Lots of Planets Have a North

It's another nail tutorial! The nail art itself is easy enough, I'm just not the best at it. Yet. One day.

Regardless, here's a step-by-step adventure in nail painting.

Here's what you need:

• Two colours of nail polish (it's best if they contrast fairly well, but you live your life!)
• Base coat
• Top coat (or just use clear polish for the base/top, but it's best if you have these. They're nice to have.)
• Nail brush (a thin one is your new best friend)

Silver-Ish Lining

True story: I love nail polish.

Also a true story: I have a lot of it. But not nearly enough. It would be getting to a ridiculous point if I wasn't totally okay with it.

Tonight, I decided that I was going to do something fairly interesting with my nails, rather than just leave them one colour. My plan changed about three different times. I'm happy with the end result.

What you'll need: a base coat (or a base/top coat, or whatever you have), sky blue polish (or any colour, but just go with me on this), paper reinforcers (which will be nixed halfway through because of reasons), white polish (also nixed), silvery-blue polish, clear polish (or something to use as a top coat), polish remover, and something to remove the polish with.

Basically, it's just a bunch of normal nail-painting things, with the addition of an extra colour. I like making things seem more complicated than they are.
