[Jan 2024] Glittery Blue Makeup & Nails

 
Happy new year angels!! I'm just kidding, but welcome to the 2024 backlog ദ്ദി・ᴗ・)✧

As I mentioned in my last post, I had a pretty quiet and uneventful Christmas but I was ready to start the year fresh. I had done a lot of preparations and work for my dad's arrangements and affairs so I felt like the hardest part was over and now all I had to do was pick up the pieces and move on.
I felt optimistic that with time I could heal and by this point I was little more comfortable getting back into my old routines so I was happy to be using makeup as therapy again.

I wanted to doll up for my nail appointment because starting a fresh nail set always gets my mood up. I went with an icy blue theme which would later translate into my nail set!
I loved this eye look so much. I really wish I still had the lashes to recreate this but I custom made them by stacking lashes I didn't like and gluing the tips together. I sadly no longer have either of these styles and the listings I bought them from have been taken down (。•́︿•̀。)
I really wanted to try those textured liquid metal nail designs so my tech came up with this blue chrome style. I thought it was really cool at first and I liked how it matched my makeup but the charms got really annoying and would catch on everything. By the time I needed this set removed I HATED it lmao ( ˶°ㅁ°) !! Have you ever had this experience?
Anyways that's all for now. I'm so happy to be making progress through my backlog finally. I can't wait to write all about my happenings in 2024. 

See you in the next post! 

[Dec 2023] Hair Extensions

 
Hi angels! How have you been? I'm so happy to announce that this is the beginning of the end for my cursed dark hair arc because I decided to get extensions!! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
As you know I was feeling ultra depressed with my hair and it would be a few more months before I could bleach it light again. I was looking for ways to make it feel more "me" and I ended up seeing an instagram ad for Korean nano braid extensions. 

I ended up getting some silver/blonde extensions layered into my hair and let me tell you it literally cured my depression when I saw myself in the mirror after lmao
A lot of people often ask if it's possible to be gyaru with dark hair and as someone who had dark hair for a year I can confidently say yes; but it's kind of hard I'm ngl. Having colored extensions (even if they are clip ins) help so much with creating a more effortless gal vibe. If I were to ever dye my hair dark again I would definitely utilize colored extensions for contrast and variation in my hairstyle. Just plain dark hair can be a bit one dimensional without the use of hair accessories. 
Anyways, this is my last post from 2023 and I'll be moving on to the 2024 backlog now! I didn't do a whole lot after getting extensions in mid-December. I had a quiet and sad Christmas but I'm happy to say that although the coming months were very challenging, there was light at the end of the tunnel for me! This was only the beginning.

Thanks for reading ⋆˙⟡♡

[Dec 2023] Last Nailset of 2023

 
Hi angels! I'm so happy to finally have made it to almost the end of my 2023 backlog. Yes I know we have a whole year to go before I'm caught up to current times but I have every post mapped out in the backlog so it'll actually go a lot faster now that I've gotten all the photos saved and uploaded to each post. I'll keep trucking on for now and I'm sure I'll get caught up in no time ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )
Ok so by this point in December I'm back to work and have some semblance of a normal daily schedule. I was still crying a lot at night but otherwise my day to day routine was more or less back to what it was.

As such, I got my gyaru mojo back and I'm ngl I was killin it with the eyemake around this time. I was able to consistently recreate this style so I felt like I finally found my signature daily style. This style meant I would mostly stick to neutrals or 1 shadow colour at a time but I that's the tradeoff for consistency and speed I guess (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )
After spamming selfies it was time to go to the nail salon. This was my last set of the year so instead of opting for Christmas themed nails I thought I'd go with something in$pirational for the new year.
I really liked how these turned out and tbh they really worked cause I received many blessings after (∗´ര ᎑ ര`∗)
That's all for now! Thank you for reading -`♡´-
