So....I've been behind on posting..I have free time now so hopefully I can catch up! These are previous nails for the week for the week of April 24, 2011

Last week I received my highly anticipated Korean Health Hoop...aka torture device. (lol) I've wanted one of these for some years now, but never really bothered to make the purchase. I searched on ebay and the best buy I came across was from the seller mifasports. I paid a total of $29.99 including shipping from South Korea for the around 2.5lb hoop. It was a pretty decent price considering these hoops can go upwards of $60. I've heard of individuals purchasing them at their local "Chinatown" for under $20bucks...but seeing as I don't live in a diverse city..that wasn't happening for me.   
The claims are that the hoop will help slim the waist, massages, and helps promote good digestion. I'll be trying to use the hoop every other day or so. The first time I tried it (April 15th), it wasn't painful like some reviews stated. It actually tickled a little. I hooped for maybe 15-20min or so the first time...The next day...I was NOT able to hoop lol. My abdominal area was definitely sore. I skipped a day and continued the following day. It wasn't so bad though I did have a little pain, but not enough to make me stop. I shall be monitoring how well this works and if it was worth the price (along with regular exercise). If anything at least I'll be burning more calories compared to sitting at the computer lol.

These are the projections on the hoop. There's a slight air bubble and the base of it is hard.

These are my nails for the week, Icecream polka-dot nails. I wanted something eye-catching and vibrant...plus I don't have many pastel colored polishes.

Today I exfoliated my hands with my sugar scrub minus the lemon, and I decided to do a look with my new Orly polish in "Honeymoon in style". I painted all of the nails in the color only except the ring finger on each hand. I did a marble nail look on the ring fingers and added rhinestones. It's ok to me, though I thought I wanted something more mellow..now I want something more vibrant..We'll see how long this lasts..

Went out of town on Friday..finally. I'd previously been busy with school work on the weekends so I hadn't been able to go anywhere..

Stopped by Sally's and saw they had a few of their Orly polishes on clearance for 1.99 so I picked up two! Yes it is true that I personally find it hard justify paying over 3 bucks for one nail polish...unless the color is absolutely amazing. I don't enjoy buying anything at regular retail price honestly...lol Anyway. These are the two colors I picked. "Honeymoon in style" (right) and "Razzle" (left). Razzle isn't a color I'd usually snatch up but I figured why not? I think the Razzle would look nice against green, turquoise, and/or gold.
Also went by what I like to call "the health food store", and I decided to try Izze, which is sparkling fruit juice. I tried the grapefruit flavor... I must say..it was yummy..



























 Picked up some accessories as well! The first pair was 4.99 and the second pair was only 2.79 and I also got 15% off.



Found this Nine west purse at Ross for 24.99 I really liked the shape and color.

I really couldn't figuire out what to do with my nails the previous weekend so I just...did anything lol
I used Sinful colors "Mint Apple" (947) on all fingers exept the ring finger. On the ring finger I used Sinful Colors "Snow me white" (101) as the base color, added some newsprint like in my *newsprint nails tutorial *, then I topped it off with green dots in Sinful Colors "Innocent" (944) using my dotting tool. Didn't do anything very out there seeing as I couldn't make up my mind!
