Thug Life... THUG LIFE!

While the rich kids is driving Benz

I'm still trying to hold on to surviving friends...

Tupac Amaru Shakur

June 16, 1971 - September 13, 1996

Without going into too much detail, I just want to make it clear that I love rap music and I love 2Pac. May he rest in peace... Today would've been his 41st birthday, so in honor of my favorite Gemini, I decided to pay homage to him on my nails...

 

My camera does no justice to the Swarovski crystals

   

Africa on one thumb, a pistol on the other

His Thug Life tattoo is pretty much his most famous tattoo so what better phrase to use than that one?

I really love how it turned out. I am going to see Ab-Soul tomorrow and had planned on doing something different with my nails for that show but I am completely in love with this Thug Life design. I may just keep it until Pink Wednesday...

Happy Birthday, Pac...

Stay classy.

Peace... And much lacquer to you.

Ikat nails

I tried Ikat nails a few weeks ago. This was take one:

I thought it looked ok but I just did not like that blue on the other nails so I changed those nails. Take two:

As you can see, there are a few smudges and my cuticles are a mess but whatever... I live in the Bay... No one cares about that here...

I don't see myself doing this on my nails ever again. It was easy and quick, but it's too boring for my taste... I like my nails to be outrageously busy...

Tomorrow is Tupac's birthday so I am considering a Thug Life design for my nails. I originally wanted to get my long sought after Thug Life tattoo on his birthday but my tattoo artist is MIA and not returning emails so Thug Life on the nails just might have to do... Oh, it's also my Sigmaversary tomorrow but I dont really care about that... I mean... I do... But I am not about to be walking around in blue and gold all day and I damn sure am not putting it on my nails...

In the meantime and in between time; here's a little 2Pac to listen to...

RIP PAC

Stay Classy.

Peace... And much lacquer to you.

Peaceful Journey...

Yesterday, a hip-hop icon passed away.

The Overweight Lover: MC Heavy D

I remember my dad listening to him regularly when I was a kid. Eventually, I started listening to him on my own. A month ago, I watched him perform on the BET Hip-Hop Awards and (other than Lupe's performance) his was my most favorite performance of the night...


One of my favorite Heavy D albums is Big Tyme...

The cover of that album inspired my tribute manicure...

Rest well, Heavy... Praying for your peaceful journey. You will be missed...

Stay classy.

Peace... And much lacquer to you.
