Hooker Nails & Semi-Fail Hair Cut

When it comes to "pampering" myself, I have the worst luck with these things. To me, it's not pampering. It's always a straight up hassle. This post is going to be me mostly venting and, unfortunately, I know that I am not alone when it comes to these things. So maybe some of you can sympathize with me :)

First up, nails. I have not been able to stop biting my nails lately. I really needed to do something with them because they looked straight up nasty. Innocently, I decided that acrylic nails were the way to go. I used to have acrylic nails 24/7 back in High School and it wasn't until last summer that I went on the "natural nail" kick.

There I was, getting my $25 full set French manicure tips. If you have never gotten a "French manicure" on tips, they either decide to put clear tips on and then paint on the white, or they use white tips. My luck, the lady would only do the white tips. "Oh they can't look that bad," I said to myself. 20 minutes later, this is what I had.
Don't scream, I know... They look like they're straight off the corner of hooker avenue. I love a French manicure but not when it takes up 75% of the nail!!!

So I went home heavy-hearted, and grabbed my favorite China Glaze red: Ruby Pumps. Two coats later I ended up with this.

I can shoot fire from my hands!

On a side note, painting your nails in front of the fireplace is very time saving. The heat dries the nails extremely quickly.

Before this lovely nail trip, I went to get my hair done. Always a BAD experience with me. First of all, it takes every single hair dresser forever to comb through my hair. Most of the time they make me do it. When it comes time for the cut, they either cut off wayy too much, not enough, or do something super funky. Today, it was super funky day. Everything was going great... until she decided that she needed to "blend the layers because they look too chunky." Alright that's fine...

So she gets out her thinning razor and starts going crazyyy in the back. So basically, the longest part of my hair looks really scrawny and my hair has lost its fullness. I have never had a good hair cut. I don't know why it has to be so complicated. I always dread when it's time to get it cut.

My "I'm unamused" face.

Fine, I'll smile.
The arrows show the bottom of my hair. Sparse & scrawny. I am happy with my shortest layers though. Not complaining too much, I have had WAY worse of hair cuts. Haven't we all... *sigh*

Don't hate on the no makeup. I really only wear it when I film or am going to see important people. I feel weird blocking out my face in pictures on here for you all. It slightly creeps me out when I do that.

The only good part of the day was mom & I went into GoodWill and I bought some DVD's and these crystal lilies that I think will look really good in my living room once my furniture arrives. I'm going with the Blue, Purple, & Gold theme for that area. The DVD's were $3.00 each and the lilies were also supposed to be $3.00 for both, but she rang them up $3.00 each. I didn't catch that until I was home. At least it's for a good cause :)

The moral of this post... if you have a good hair dresser- never leave them. If you want to get your nails done... good luck :)
