Gel Nails

I am in love :) This product has been out on the market for a while but I have only had it done 2 times (once last night). It is nail product that is similar to nail polish except it's actually gel so it lasts wayyy longer and doesn't chip. What more could a girl ask for?

I am leaving for vacation tomorrow for 2 weeks and I don't want to have to worry about my nails while I am gone so I decided to opt for this instead of a regular manicure. It's a little pricey that's why I don't always get it but I had to splurge for this special occasion.

So I went last night to Elegant Nails on Lombard St (I am sure there are other places in the city that have it). This salon uses Axxium, which is OPI's brand of gel polish but there are other brands as well. I have seen 2 other brands, Shellac and Gelish at other salons. So they put the clear base coat gel on first and the color. Each coat has to dry under the UV light for like 2 or 3 minutes and when you take your hand out, it is COMPLETELY dry. Amazing right? One of the great things about it is that the polish comes out perfectly smooth and so shiny!! You can almost see yourself in it! The absolute best thing is that is lasts 2-4 weeks.

If you are in the East Bay want to try it out, they have Shellac at Bollinger Nails in Concord and Gelish at Livery Nails in Danville.

Dirt Bag Alert

Ronnie from Jersey Shore disgusts me! He is such a jerk. He was OK last season, I didn't have a problem with him, but NOW! Oh now I have a big problem with him.

For starters he is the world's #1 d-bag. He acts so ridiculous in the clubs and gets totally annihilated (someone didn't read my "handling your booze" blog!) and acts like a fool. Why does he think that getting completely blacked out and falling on your face is cool? I can understand one slip up but this happens every time he goes out. Even the Situation can keep himself composed.

Secondly, what is his deal with Sam! He treats her like crap. You can't have your cake and eat it too, Ronnie! He is always flip flopping back and forth whether he wants to be with her or not. One second he will be saying she is his girl and then the next he is out creeping and triple kissing in a club. I don't like how he plays with Sam's heart all the time like it's his entertainment. He is such an immature tool.

I don't think Sam is perfect and she definitely lets him walk all over her, BUT he should have enough decency to treat her with respect and to be honest. And if that means ending things, then just end it. It's not nice to play with people's emotions!

Good, Cheap Wine

I love this wine. It has been great things about it, but the best is that it is cheap and delicious! It's smooth with vanilla, chocolate and oak flavors. You can get it at Bevmo and Safeway and pretty much anywhere. It's a great go-to table wine!

Ke$ha

I am not sure if she has any fans, but I am sorry, I think she is quite possibly the most annoying ever. She has weirdest nasal-y voice, her outfits are ATROCIOUS and her songs are annoying and stupid. Whenever she does interviews she acts so dumb and it always seems like she's on drugs, which she probably is.

I also don't like her because she clowned on Britney. Not cool! Yeah, she said that Brit's "15 minutes were almost up." WTF.

I found this today on www.buzzfeed.com and thought it was hilarious.

Teeth

Why do people walk around with yellow teeth? I ask myself this everyday. It's not the 90's anymore, there's plenty of great, cheap teeth whiteners out there.

I think it is disgusting when people don't take care of their mouths. Like, do you not realize you have dragon breath! And anyone within 3 feet can smell your nasty mouth. I wish that people would take more care of their teeth, it doesn't take that much effort. Brush at least 2x per day, floss 1x per day and throw some whitening strips on every once in while. Is that too much to ask?!?!?

So let's take a stand against dirty mouths! Every time you come across someone with bad mouth, offer them a piece of gum, recommend a great toothpaste or mouthwash, and drop a few lines about the importance of flossing. Hopefully they will get the hint!

Britney

Has anyone noticed that our dear Brit Brit has been looking, uhh surprisingly put together lately!! I have been seeing all these pics on the blogs and have been pleasantly surprised. I think she is getting her act together because 1. she is working on a new record and will probably start promoting soon, 2. she is a designer for Candie's now and 3. there are probably other reasons but I can't think of them right now.

Watch this transformation right before your eyes!

1. This was back in June. All I can say is.. actually, I am speechless.


2. Getting better. Clothes match and weave isn't busted..


3. Dressed up to go to the movies. I like this idea, always better to be overdressed than underdressed!





4. Finally, most recent. SUPER cute outift and her hair looks better than it has in years.


She is well on her way back to the Brit we all love!!


Cannot wait for the new album!

Leggings. Hm.

I just don't know how I feel about leggings. Yes, I have toyed with wearing them, but every time I do, I feel weird because I HAVE NO PANTS ON. Not a good feeling. There's such a thin layer of spandex separating me from the world.

That's the main problem with leggings, they are just too thin. A lot of times you can actually see through them which is really bad and tacky. See exhibit A, Paris Hilton (of course).



Gross! If you're going to wear these, you must cover your butt! No one wants to see your butt (well I am sure somebody does). Does Paris think that is a dress? No, it's a shirt.

Exhibit B. I dont know who this is but this is a serious fashion crime. Her shirt doesn't even come close to cover her huge bum and you can see all her cellulite. Not attractive. I am not saying I am perfect, but I certainly wouldn't be caught dead in this!! This is DON'T.




If you want to look cute in leggings, take a cue from Kim K. She wears leggings to perfection with sky high heels, a flowy top and a blazer. And notice, her butt is covered! Even she knows you gotta cover it up sometimes.





This is kind of Kim's signature look. She definitely works it. I think this outfit would be super cute to travel in (I like to dress up when I fly, makes me feel like a world traveler). I am going on vacay in 2 weeks and I think I will wear something like this.

One thing I love about this look is it looks so cute and put together but it is comfy and functional. You have layers so it works in a variety of temperatures and if you take the blazer off, you are pretty much wearing PJs.

There's a bunch of cute leggings on lulus.com and H&M has great blazers for around $50.
