nails, nails, nails, galore

So this is my first official post about the whole purpose of this blog! I've done some pretty cool designs and things that I want you guys to get ideas from! Enjoy :)

 I did these for my 18th birthday! 

Called them "Birthday Party Chic"

 I loved these nails! 

They're the Sally Hansen do-it-yourself nail decals.

They kind of remind me of minxed nails and they're cheap! 

You can never go wrong with animal print.

 Another of my personal faves.

These nails made me so hungry just looking at them!

They're so springy!

Fruit Salad Anyone?

 These are my current nails.

I actually did them while I was waiting for my laundry to be done!

Pearls and glitter are always a necessity.

 These are my friend Melissa's nails

She said they remind her of Barbie which I can completely agree with.

Nothing screams "Barbie" like pink, glitter, and rhinestones!

 I wanted to do something a little opposite with these nails so I chose two neutral colors.

I used a beige and grey and incorporated rhinestones and pearls (like usual)

We'll call these, "Opposites Attract"

And last, but not least, my nails for Fashion's Night Out 

They were very simple, yet VERY intricate.

They took me about two hours to do and only lasted a few days, 

but I still loved them! 

Pictures Taken From The Good Ole "Toilet Phone"

As some of you know, I dropped my phone in the toilet a few weeks ago. So, the fact that these pictures were able to be taken, let alone retrieved, is a shock. Anyways, enjoy!

Trying to contain all of my excitement to eat the amazing food in "Montgomery."

Tried to get one of those pictures of people jumping...

didn't turn out too well.

My all time favorite place on campus!

What the Blog?

     Ok well, I'm Giovanna obviously and this is my first ever blog experience (so don't be alarmed at my horrible font choices and uninteresting posts at first).  Anyways, our assignment is to write about what makes us tick, so let me go on to tell you that I am, as Deena from Jersey Shore would say, "a blast in a glass." I'm a little crazy at times but I just like to live my life to the fullest and experience all that I can. My motto is work hard, play hard. Because, after all, the whole reason I'm at St. John's is to get a degree, not party my ass off. I'm kind - hearted and always looking for the good in people. However, now that I feel like i just posted an ad on Match.com let me go on to talk about what really makes my world go around.
     I live my life through other people's happiness and love cheering people up when they're upset or having a bad day. I have five best friends (Bridget, Renee, Tayler, Kaileen and Danielle) that I would absolutely die without. We have the most ridiculous inside jokes and conversations that any sane individual would contemplate getting us checked out. Bridget, Kaileen, Danielle and I have a different bond, based completely off of our weekly TV shows: Teen Mom, The Bachelorette, Pretty Little Liars, The Lying Game and our personal favorite, The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Besides being a couch potato every night I actually do have a life, shocking I know.
     I LOVE working and making my own money. I've had a job at Poppy's Ice Cream for the past three summers and I'm actually obsessed with working there. My bosses, Dave and Carla, and all of the girls I work with are like my third family, behind Bridget and Kaileen's family being second, or first at times. When I'm not working at Poppy's I always have another job, this winter was KMart, unfortunately. Having a job has taught me a lot about myself and made me a lot more independent than the majority of kids in my high school.
     Okay, so I've covered my work life and my "social" life so what else can I talk about? Oh yeah, maybe the whole idea behind this blog. Well, I love being creative and different from everyone else and the way I do that is through my nails. I come up with cute designs and color schemes and add little embellishments to them. I know, like who makes a blog about nails, but they are actually a huge fashion statement and important to a lot of people. so just give it a chance! I'll be posting pictures of all of my creations, maybe some trend alerts, tips and tricks, the whole schebang! Thanks for reading! xo
