IFB’s current blogging topic is nail art and I figured this was definitely a topic I could contribute to. So instead of just my current nails, I wanted to show you my nail art collection.

The ones above are the ones I’m wearing now.

Independent Fashion Bloggers has been doing a weekly roundup of themes, and this week happens to be the contents of your purse. I’ve always heard that the contents of your purse say a lot about you, and the more I think about each piece, the more I see that.

Left to right, top to bottom.

1 – Wallet, Forever 21
Bought using store credit from returning a coat my mom bought me for Christmas. Holds everything, and no magnets to demagnetize my cards.

2 – Notebook, Jill Bliss / Tanning Goggles, California Sun
I write down everything in very obsessive lists, sometimes I doodle. This is the second one I’ve had this year. I like this brand because it has no lines inside.

3 – Pouch, E Hyphen World Gallery
I don’t want all my tiny shit falling to the bottom of the bag.

4 – Checks / Car Insurance / Starbucks Receipt
I go to Starbucks a lot, especially after I get paid. I’m that horrible person who likes having a cup that says Starbucks as much as the actual coffee. Not that I’d pass up Arsagas.

5 – Camera, Kodak Easy Share CD82
J bought this for me for Christmas one year. I think I bought him another Zune that year. He’s really that in love with Microsoft.

6 – Hand Lotion – Bath and Body Works Look Ma New Hands
Good stuff, citrus-y smelling which is my favorite smell.

7 – Agenda, EcoSystem Life
I’m not sure why I still have this. As much as I scribble to-do lists and phone numbers, I use google calendar for all my dates. Which is really strange because I love having a calendar online, but hate typing to-do lists.

8 – Headphones, Lady Gaga Heartbeats (the originals)
I’m obsessed with Lady Gaga. I could go on and on about how fucking fab she and her music is, but I’ll spare you. The real story is, these headphones are really good and I usually use them to watch Judge Judy on my iPhone.

9 – Keys to the store
The deco bear was a gift from Mom. My co-worker named him Renaldo before leaving for vet school.

10 – Tanning Lotion, J-Woww Private Reserve
I love to tan. I started when I first got into gyaru and I’ve been on and off for a while now. This stuff works pretty well and smells like coconut.

11 – Sunglasses, Dick Cottons
Snooki wears these as well, I’m completely ok with you judging me for that. J makes fun of the brand name every single time I wear these. Whatever, the lenses don’t scratch or pop out of the frame like the cheaper stuff and they are pink.

12 – My personal keys (car, house, etc)
With pink mace!

And the pouch:

1 – Perfume Mini – Victoria’s Secret Bombshell
My favorite from the store, another citrus scent

2 – Hand Sanitizer – Bath & Body Works Fresh Picked Apple
I go through these like candy. Mentos probably, because I could eat all of those in one sitting.

3 – Bite-X, Nailtiques
Trying to stop biting my nails. Sooooo hard.

4 – Lip Gloss, Victoria’s Secret Taffy Go Lucky
Taffy Flavor, really cute color

5 – Lipstick – Victoria’s Secret Heartbeat
Limited Edition, a really awesome nude color

There you go punks, a little window into me. I’d love to see the story behind your bags as well!

My recent purchases from the Buckle, with my nails from Yukiumi that J bought.

The nails are gorgeous, I just wish the little pieces stayed on better. The actual nails themselves are very strong, which I like a lot. They come packaged with 2 nail files, orange wood stick and very strong glue. This is the only place I buy nails online now.

People wonder how I function with nails everyday. You really just get very good at using the pads of your fingers instead of the tips for everything. I take them off when I rearrange the store, and just put new ones on later.

I don’t really feel the same without nails on though.
