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.

Wants: Jeggings

Jeggings were a trend that I had a hard time accepting. I was a staunch opponent of leggings as pants because it just looks bad. It looks so unkempt. Like you just rolled out of bed and didn't bother to wear pants. Now, let me clarify, I don't mind leggings. I think leggings are great. Though, personally, I stopped wearing the calf length leggings and wear either tights or ankle length leggings because they elongate my legs instead of making them look stumpy.

BUT, I just have a face of horror when I see a girl wear leggings as pants i.e. I can see their crotch/butt. I just don't think this is a cute look. MAYBE... MAYBE as an outfit to the gym, it would be acceptable, but even then, don't you need your bits to breathe? In any case, I don't think I should be seeing anything skin tight around that area. It just looks.. whorish.

But jeggings aren't like that. They actually look like jeans. They're opaque and although they don't have much structure, the material is thicker so you don't get awkward bumps and lumps. And they just make your jeans look like they were made for you.

Sadly, I haven't found a pair that I've liked yet. :'( I'm gonna keep looking, but it's hard to find one that's the right length on me. Also, I don't know if you can tailor it like regular jeans since the spandex needs a different type of stitching.

Wish me luck on finding a good pair!
