Hi sweeties <3

There would have been so much to blog about within the last days, but somehow I just couldn't get myself to sit down and write an actual entry. On may 1st my lovely boyfriend and I had our first anniversary! We went to the zoo together with three other couples (ex-classmates and friends of my boyfriend and their girlfriends) on 27th of April. We had such a good time!
He got a Kindle as a present for me. I was absolutely shocked at first, because I wanted to have an e-reader for so long, but just couldn't get myself into actually buying one. I had to thank him over and over again and still I can't really believe this is real! But anyways now I feel pretty lame thinking about my present for him :/ I told him to choose any concert he wanted to go to and I will go with him and pay the tickets.

Now that everything is slowly getting serious I told myself that it might be time to get a timetable not only for university but also for my sparetime. I need an exact plan for when I'll do my workout and when I'll have to study and stuff. If I don't plan things I often end up doing nothing... So I created a new plan and also decided to try to blog at least once a week: on tuesdays. So from now on I'll try to post at least one post on every tuesday!

Last thing for today is my first real Youtube video! I did a kinda tutorial for gal inspired nails.

A few days ago a friend of mine *klick here for a link to her blog* uploaded a nailart tutorial on her channel and I really liked what she had shown in her video. But check it out yourself:
Anyways I decided to finally record a video myself so I did a tutorial on my own interpretation of her nail design. The quality is quite poor though. My cam is about 5 years old now and not able to record anything in HD. Well next time I'll try to use my dad's nikon so the quality will hopefully be a lot better :D Enough said! Here it is:
Please leave me comments telling me how you liked it and if you'd care to see more of my own designs in the future!

See you next week!

Love, M.

Nails, Nails, Nails

Hi sweeties <3

I guess everyone knows that nails are a big part of the gyaru fashion. I love that there are so many ways to wear your nails: short, long, oval, sharp and edgy, with lots of bling or just plain.
Within the last years I wore quite a lot of false nails but due to the natural shape of my nails they never really fitted. I really love long nails but my own nails are kinda thin and tend to split, break or rip, so last october (I think it was october) I decided to get a UV-curing lamp and gels and did my own gelnails. I really love crafting and creating little things so I wasn't really afraid of doing it on my own. I guess the first time they were pretty much okay, but nothing more. By now I found out how to make my nails look really good, how to shape them and what gels are best for the modelage.

I bought the Jolifin Starter Set and I'm so happy I got this one. The quality is really good and it comes with everything you need.

I'm always looking for new inspiration. Google and Youtube can be really helpful but also blogs of some lovely gals are full of nail art and other inspirations.

I guess these are the most common shapes for nails and even when not wearing false nails you can wear great nail art. Just take some time, look for a picture of a nail art you'd like to do, get some nail polish and get started!

Lastly I want to share some of my recent nail art. I'm not really able to put on too much bling, because I work as a casshier and my nails usually are totally ruined after work, so I just decorate my nails for special occasions and stick to cute polishes for my everyday life.

This is what my nails looked like after doing them for the first time.

My Valentine's Day nailart (inspired by cutepolish)

This is what I wear right now. I love Polka dots and pastels as they are perfect for spring.

Two days ago was the end of carnival so me and some friends were going out and as I didn't dress up I just made my nails to look a bit like minnie mouse :D

And last but not least a rather blurry pic of my outfit of that night.

Oh and I got the blush I was talking about last time and I love it!

I guess that's again more than enough for today. So I hope you are all well and have a nice day!

Love, M.

Lately

Hi sweeties <3

Again I didn't post anything in such a long while. I'm deeply sorry but somehow my life was so full of playing "The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask" that I didn't really feel like doing anything else than saving the world :D
Well even though I've been playing a lot lately I also studied for upcoming exams and worked out a bit. Also me and my boyfriend redecorated his room. I'm still lacking any good pictures, but here I've got a close up of the wallpaper we used.

All in all we spent about two days to do everything. Now he's got a newer bed that doesn't break down if you sit down on the wrong spot, a new table that I love to use as a desk while he is using his own, the new wallpaper and we reduced the size of one of his incredibly huge racks.

I've been "shopping" with my boyfriend too. Well first I was shopping with my family :DD We went to a mall that's kinda close to our hometown and I got some awesome things that were on sale: leatherette shorts and a cute pink knitted pullover. My Dad gave 30€ to me and my sister so that we could get us something nice at OMG! Shoes. Well I really fell in love with a pair of boots. They had like everything that I was looking for in a boot. They where perfect by any mean... but they were not my size! So I kept the money and was really depressed all evening long. Late at night I went to my boyfriends place and the next morning we went to a mall that's close to his flat (it's like 10 minutes away)and in this mall there is the second of only three stores of OMG! shoes. So I went in and found my beloved boots. They had one pair left in my size so I immediately bought them and now here they are! <3

On our way out of the mall we went by Acessoirize and I saw a supercute bag and as it was also on sale I bought it right away.

While writing this I realize that I bought a lot of stuff lately. Especially make up, hair and skin care.
I ordered new BB cream as mine is almost empty. This time I chose the Skin79 Lovely Girl BB Cream.
I bought new haircolor (silver to tone my blonde and black), silver toner and silvershampoo.
I also got a new daily moisturizing and mattifying face cream by essence. It's the my skin mattifying cream with litchi and grade seed oil. It smells great, hydrates very good and also helps controlling the oily shimmer on my forehead perfectly. I think that it's a really awesome product for just 2,15€.
Lastly I got another rather cheap product at a local drugstore. It's the alverde serum with alpine rose. I love it! It moisturizes my skin so well plus it smells so incredibly great!

The last thing I wanna talk about today is my nails and Valentine's day. I prepared some chocolate for my Boyfriend and also decorated nmy nails for this special day so here is a quick snapshot of them.

I almost forgot to tell you that I cut my own hair! I was so fond of my hairstyle so I decided to just cut in some layers and cut my bangs a little bit more side swept. (It was quite late at night so I didn't wear too much make up anymore.

Buth that's it. Really!:DD
I hope all of you had a great Valentine's Day!

Love, M.

Nailart and stuff

Hey sweeties <3

University started yesterday and I had my chinese course on monday. Unfortunately it's always on monday and wednesday 10.15 am which means I have to get up very early but on the other hand I don't have to stay there as long as I had to during the last semesters. (Back then the course was from 17.30 to 20.30 which ment I came home around 10 pm) It was kinda shocking when our Zhongwen laoshi entered the classroom and didn't really use more than ten german words... so many unknown vocabulary @.@ but I'm kinda used to hearing chinese words I don't know all of the time as my nan pengyou is chinese too.

so enough bragging with the little chinese I already know and on to the original theme of this post. I wanted to check my youtube to see if there were any intersting new uploads from YAK Films (yes I am addicted to dancing [altough I really suck at it myself] and I love to see the newest stuff from Le Twins [who my boyfriend showed to me]) and got distracted by a nailart tutorial. It was about a autumn scene nailart which is really cute but then I spotted the newspaper nailart and I loved it right away! Here's my result:

You just paint your nails in a colour that would fit a newspaper, let dry fully; dip the finger into rubbing alcohol (you can get this at a pharmacy) and then press the newspaper on your nail for a few seconds (don't wait to long or it will get really sticky). Now just put on a top coat and you're finished.

Later on I also found a few really awesome videos on how to do a wonderful marble naildesign at home. It's kinda tricky to get a really nice design but once you know how to do it right it's really fun. And the results are just amazing!
Here is my result:

So this one is a little bit tricky. You need a glass or glass bowl, some toothpicks, papertowels to cover your workingplace, some different but matching nail polishes and tape to cover the area around your nail.
Fill room temperature water into the glass and drip the nailpolish into it. try to get circles and then just "stir" a little with you toothpicks. As soon as you have a design you like just dip your finger into the water next to the polish and put it under the part you want on your nail, raise your finger and voila! There it is right on your nail <3 let it dry thoroughly and get rid of the tape; clean your fingers with nail polish remover and q-tips, put on a top coat and you're finished.

I hope you liked these short summaries of the tutorials you can also find them here and here.

Love, M.

Curlers & OOTD

Hey sweeties <3

Last week I finally bought myself some new curlers! As most of you may know my hair is naturally curly but it's really damaged from bleaching and straightening so the curls don't look very good most of the time. A few weeks I bought this amazing curling spray from john frieda which really helps a lot but I was still not satisfied with the outcome. So when I was at one of the local drugstores I got some curlers (and as I realized I will need some more xD) and the result is really amazing <3 (as I am posting this from my phone all of the pics will be at the end of this post) the curls looks super natural and the hair doesn't look as dry as ot does usually. Plus I already slept one night having these curls and still they look good.

While I am writing this I am being on a train to vienna. My boyfriend texted me today telling me that he will me at home already today, which was really surprising to me as he usually wouldn't have got home before friday. So I'm going to see my hun already today and I'm really excited to see his reaction to my new curls :3

The last point of this post is my outfit for today. I felt really good when I woke up this morning and I wanted to show it off so I chose a quite colourful yet decent outfit.
Jeans: Zara
Shirt: H&M
Cardigan: offbrand
Shoes: Pastry
Accessoires: Newyorker, Forever 21
The foxtail is from canada and the chains are handmade by me.

I bought some new makeup about which I will post either this evening or on saturday.

Have a nice day <3
Love, M.

P.S.: I did some nailart recently that I wanted to share with you. I hope you'll like it.
