False Identities

When I was about 13 or 14 a couple of friends of my older sister told me I looked a lot like Alice Glass from the band Crystal Castles. When they did this they posted a link to a music video of their on my facebook wall. Once I listened to them and saw her I was in love with their music and I agreed without a shadow of a doubt that I looked a lot like her. It's kind of un common that you find a celeb that you really think you look like. Truly look like. Once you find one, you kind of stick with it you know?

Alice Glass.....



Meee.......

Then you have the people that tell you otherwise and you look at them with disbelief. A week or two ago my friend lucas had just watched a video of theirs, recommended by me, and told me the following week that I didn't look anything like her. I was heart broken in a way and kind of lost. But I guess the truth is that you shouldn't base your identity on what you look like, who you look like and so on. And not everyone will have the same opinion about things like that. I still believe I look like Alice Glass, but I know I shouldn't assume everyone feels the same way.

NAIRT, is nail-art all in one short little word(this isn't real). This post wasn't intended to be about nail art however I think it's going to be now. I hate how I think of magnificent things to write about at night when I'm falling asleep and I tell myself, "You'll remember," and I don't. Big surprise there! I'll start by showing some of my newest items in the nail department.

This is Tenacious Teal, It's a mermaid-esq color that is similar to the color of that putty from home depot you use to plug up cracks. It's by: Maybelline, Color show. 330.

This is Orange Fix, which in the bottle looks like a choral red but when you put it on it lingers more towards a choral orange. It's by: Maybelline, Color show. 220.

And even though the color on my actual nails isn't new I haven't used the color a lot, it's My button fell off, By: Spoiled.

It's like a really light, slow churned ice cream pink.

 This was kind of a better picture but you still don't have the full "effect." I'm not a huge fan of doing actual nail-art but I enjoy looking at the art of it and it's very interesting. I just like simple nails for an every day type of thing. Here are some selections of nail art I like for special occasions, photo shoots or runway.

These are an obvious choice, galaxy nail-art. They're stick-on, you can get them in Essie but probably a few other brands too. Order online is my best advice, these are hard to find in regular stores except for specialized places for just makeup.

These nail rings are very Charlize Theron from Snowwhite and the huntsmen. I've always liked really hard or rough looking pieces of jewelry. These aren't strictly nail art but I like the idea of this decoration for a special occasion. Now these nails aren't all that I like but its a brief summary of how extensive I like to get about my nails.

Enjoy!

Love, Layla
