Pierced my ears!

I am definitely procrastinating on work that I should be doing. It's almost 4:30 and I'm in the mood to type up a blog post instead of writing an essay. Eh, at least this post will be here forever; my essay will be forgotten in about a week.

Anywho, I got my ears pierced a week ago for the first time ever! My virgin ears were pierced by a nice guy named Ali. NGL, I was afraid that it would hurt and I would be bawling, but it didn't hurt at all. Just slightly uncomfortable. I'm super excited to be able to change these tiny star earrings for some other ones. :)

Loving Rimmel's Lasting Finish Pro in Steel Gray.

Short entry, but I painted my nails recently in a gray color. I don't usually do neutrals on my nails because I'm such a big fan of color, but considering how much color I've worn on my nails, I thought it would be nice to switch it up and go with a more muted color. I picked up Rimmel's Lasting Finish Pro in Steel Gray at CVS the other day. I actually saw this color a few weeks back but I didn't pick it up because I didn't know if I could pull off that look. But it kept weighing on my mind so I finally cracked and went back a month later to pick it up. Thank god I did. It was the last bottle and I hate that "I totally regret not getting it and it's gone feeling", don't you?

Anyways, I tried it on and I've been wearing it for a week now and I still love it. I didn't put my Seche Vite over it because my bottle got kind of goopy and my order for the thinner didn't come in yet. Surprisingly, it didn't chip all that much. I have a few chips here and there, but the color was able to stay on pretty well considering that I do a lot of work with my hands at work. The color is really nice. It's like a gray, but I feel like it has a slight mauve tint to it. It always seems warm instead of a cool gray which is weird considering the name.

I'll have to repaint my nails and take a pic sometime. :)

As a note, I wear my nails pretty short. Since I have excema, I can't keep them long or else I'm tempted to scratch at my skin whenever a flair up comes. Thus I tend to keep my nails really simple.
