Pride: Part Won...

In the Bay Area, Pride is just as natural as the Thanksgiving Day Parade is to NYC...

Every year since 1970, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual people have been getting together and celebrating who they are. I've been a couple of times but this year will be the first time I am going with a large group of people and I am soooooo excited about it...

And of course I am doing nails for the occasion. First up is little sister #2. These are the colors she picked:

I saw a tutorial on dripping nails on youtube that she really liked so I kinda recreated it.

It's different from the tutorial in that her drips were almost perfectly painted. I wanted mine to look more messy...

Drippin' Swagu! It reminds me of the crayon melting craft that I have yet to try but will be trying very soon with my niece and nephew...


Next up are my nails! I am heterosexual but I am all about peace and love. I have sorority sisters and friends who identify as lesbian and gay and I ♥ them! So I decided to rep for the NO H8 campaign on my nails. This is what I used:

And this is how it turned out:
My nails are all different lengths because they keep breaking and it's REALLY annoying... But I still love it! I really love the glitter rainbows on my thumbs!!!

And there you have it... Part WON of my Pride post... I have a few more nails to paint and then we are going to the parade tomorrow!

I will try my best to take pics but my camera phone really sucks and I drowned my digital camera trying to sneak a Dr. Pepper from Burger King into the movies... Grrrr!!! My sisters both have iphones though so I'll make sure they take pics I can post...

Hooray for Pride!
Stay classy.

Peace... And much lacquer to you.

Thug Life... THUG LIFE!

While the rich kids is driving Benz
I'm still trying to hold on to surviving friends...

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.
