OPI Ski Teal We Drop

I was going through my blog the other day, and then I noticed something. I have never written an article on the nailpolish that I used most: my beautiful Ski Teal We Drop! I decided to do something about this.


Of course it's hard to show the color on picture, but it is a lovely teal.
The polish is of amazing quality - of course, it's OPI after all - and it's nearly opaque after the first layer. The brush is broad yet precise, just the way I like it.

I've had it for more than a year, and the pasts months I've used it frequently: I'd say it's my default nailpolish, always a good choice.
I bought it for €15 at Sephora in Den Bosch, Holland.

Although I've used the polish quite a lot, it's still nearly full. However, if I ever get to the bottom, I just might buy another bottle. Love it!

This post is written via the Blogger app I wrote about earlier, so I hope it turns out allright.
Have a great day!

Blogger

Yes. I have now installed the Blogger app on my ipod, so that in case my laptop refuses to work with me again, I can post the nailpolish pictures etc from here instead
That is all. =)

Questions

Bonjour!
I have just painted my nails and taken pictures. I cannot upload them though, as my laptop has decided that it very much dislikes the picture-part of itself. Such a selfconcious little thing.
That's why I decided to tell you guys some more about myself instead. Why not, right? =)
I found those questions on buzzle.com, in case you wondered.
Here we go:

  • What is your name?
    Eva Lazar.
  • How old are you?
    I am 16 years old. Yup.
  • When is your birthday? or which zodiac sign do you belong to?
    The ninth of November, so I'm a Scorpio!
  • Where do you live?
    In Sweden, as you probably have read already.
  • Do you have siblings? How many?
    I have an older sister and a younger brother.
  • What is your favorite food?
    This is a tough one.... Can't be bothered to think right now, so I'll just go for pizza!
  • What is your favorite drink?
    I drink water a lot... In case the question meant alcoholic drinks, I'd have to say martinis.
  • What is your favorite color? Turquoise.
  • Who is your best friend?
    I actually have three: Danai, Joyce and Kenny.
  • What is your favorite book?
    Another hard one! I'll just say that the Harry Potter books are loved.
  • Who is your favorite actor?
    Rowan Atkinson. Don't judge.
  • What is the best thing that has ever happened to you?
    I'd have to say being born.
  • What is the most embarrassing moment of your life?
    So many to choose from... Probably when I was playing basketball, tripped and hit a wall in the comic-figure way. Completely with the sliding down.
  • What is your biggest regret in life?
    Again, I have way too many of those... I'd have to say taking my ipod with me when I was walking the dogs, that time that its screen cracked.
  • What career do you plan to pursue?
    Not sure yet, there are so many options! I've been thinking about management, psychiatry and interior design a lot the past months though.
  • If you had one word to describe yourself , what would it be?
    Awkward.
  • Which is your favorite dessert?
    Lemon icecream. I think.
  • Which is your dream car/bike?
    Lamborghini! I'll have one of those once i'm rich.
  • If you could travel to anywhere in the world, where would it be?
    I'd travel to Spain, via Holland.
  • What is the worst relationship you have ever been in?
    I've only really had two, with the same guy. Both were/are rather amazing, so I think I'll just pass this question!
  • What is your favorite pastime?
    Sleeping. Love it.

    Those were the normal ones, now let's continue with some funny ones:
  • What's your favorite midnight snack?
    Water. I never dare to go downstairs at night.... However, I tend to eat licorice at night when I have the flu.
  • Do you eat junk food everyday?
    Nope. I think every month would be more accurate. Unless candy etc counts as junkfood of course!

    Is olive oil a food..?
  • What's your favorite horror movie?
    The Nonexistent. I HATE horror movies.
  • Do you like to sing in the shower?
    Sure, but I never do as I', afraid someone might hear me.
  • What is your weirdest quirk?
    I tend to wave at people when they look at me.
  • Your favorite sundae topping?
    Caramel I think.
  • What is your all time funniest prank?
    Doing a fistbump: apparently it hurts people as I have this ring I always wear. Hard to explain really.
  • What crazy things do you dream of trying someday?
    I'd like to step into a random airplane/train someday, and spend some time in wherever I end up.
  • Do you believe in extraterrestrials and life on other planets?

    A few more, just because I'm on a roll!

    - Friends
    - Family
    - School
    - Future
    - Happiness
  • How superstitious are you?
    *googles the word superstitious* I'm not really superstitious, however I do believe that when people think negative, negative things tend to happen to them more often, and the other way around of course.
  • What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you?
    These questions are so general! I have no clue, really. I have a pretty funny life.
  • What is your one achievement that makes you the most proud?
    Knowing I've never broken anyone's trust.
  • What three things would you take with you to a deserted island?
    - A boat with all gear needed
    - A map
    - Sunblock (hey, while I'm there I might as well enjoy myself a bit!)

    Okay that was it! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to open a window because these nailpolish gases are slowly killing me.

Done!!!

Finally, after nearly 8 hours of toiling (with several breaks included, of course), my room is all clean! I believe that it is fair that I now allow myself to do whatever I want for the rest of the day!
Here are some pictures for you guys.

 First up: the way my room looked before I started. Not too bad really, but as I had to clean it in order to complete my homework we might as well call it messy, otherwise I feel so accomplishednessless. Which now is a word.




Next I threw all the stuff from my desk on my bed....



... And then you realize you forgot to take pictures of the messiest point. *facepalm*

Aaaanyway, this is what it all looked like when things started to get better!






And now, the moment we've all been waiting for..... THE CLEAN ROOM!






Not bad, right? Unbelievable that this has taken so much effort really. Still, I'm happy that I did it because my room looks very good right now and I finished my homework. Or well, part of it: I will also have to do the laundry, clean the bathroom, do the dishes and cook for a week in order for my teacher to give me a sufficcient grade, and, seeing how she hates me, it still won't be a high grade. Nothing to be done about it I guess!

This was it for today, hope you guys enjoyed my mind-numbing posts at least a little bit, and I'll write again soon! (I think.)

xx Eva

The end is near!

Finally my room starts to look better, and I believe that I will need just one more session to finish it! Pictures are probably coming in the next post.
My nightstand is completely done, and so are two out of my three beddrawers. My desk is cluttered with stuff that I got out of my closet - which now is clean - and I'm busy sorting it. Taking a fifteen minute break, and then I'm going in for the final lap!

xx Eva

Noon.

Twelve o'clock it is. Been cleaning for fours hours now, and there are small bits of improvement!
Two boxes full of memories have been put away, as I don't need them in my room, my bed drawers (where the majority of my junk thrives) have all been emptied and cleaned, and before writing this I was busy trying to put stuff in logical categories.

Lunchtime now, I'll continue afterwards. Wow, I honestly didn't think it would take me this long! But hey, at least I can be sure that I did my job well.

xx Eva

Two hours of cleaning....

... And I have accomplished to make my mess messier. This never seems to be avoidable, but is nonetheless really demotivating. I will continue though! Up to now I have succeeded to throw everything (including my laptop, so I'm typing this while sitting on the ground) from my desk and nightstand, cleaned them (plus my chair), and now all there is on my desk is my lamp. At least one part of my journey is complete. =')

Soon I will continue, but first it's time for a second breakfast, because I know for a fact that we have grapes and I love grapes.

Probably posting pictures at the end of the day, of how my room started out and how it gradually became better untill it was all perfect.
...
A girl can dream, right?

Twelve o'clock another update will arrive!

xx Eva

Challenging myself.

Good morning darlings!

I woke up around 6.40 this morning, and I couldn't fall back asleep. That's when I started to make my to-do list for the weekend. One of the things on the list was writing an article for my blog, as that's very needed.
Then I got an idea, really random and out of nowhere: I could write an article every two hours, that way I have a load of new posts on my site, and I probably turn out to push myself to do things from my list, just so that I can share them with you guys!

I'm just going to try it, if it doesn't work that's just too bad, but if it does that'd be great, right?
First up: cleaning my room. This actually is homework, because one of my crazy teachers decided that she'd need some proof that we can do this. Do not even bother asking, I don't get it either.

Of course I'll try to post nailpolish posts, but I've been really lazy with my nailpolish lately, so not too much fancy stuff, but I'll see what I can come up with today!

That's it for now, I'll be back in two hours. Have a great day!

Happy New Year!

Yes, I do realize that we're almost halfway through our first month, but who cares? ^-^
Fireworks! 
My year has started rather good, a nice long christmasbreak and lots of attempts to keep to my new year's resolutions.
Of course, my nails are part of my new year. One of my resolutions is to post every single naillook I make on here! Unfortunately the camera on my ipod isn't that great, but it's the thought that counts, or at least, that's what I tell myself.

So basically, I started this year with my French manicure from the year before.

O.P.I. Alpine Snow, Paris Memories UV-Light Topcoat
As you can see, they were a tad chipped, which is the reason that I polished them again the next day.
My nails started out like cute, short, brown nails...
.... but after painting them, I still had the polishbug, so I decided to put some nailart on them. This is what it looked like after that:

O.P.I. Natural Basecoat, HerĂ´me W.I.C. Johannesburg 72, O.P.I. Alpine Snow, O.P.I. Top Coat
It's rather hard to see, but on the side of each nail there is a white rose, and I must say that I'm very happy with the way it looks. However, tomorrow this look will be removed and it'll make place for something else. Thinking about doing a similar look, but this time the other way around; a light base color with a darker color on top. The pictures will be on here later on, so you'll see what I've decided to do by then!

Some music I discovered this year:
Say You Like Me - We The Kings
God Damn You're Beautiful - Chester See
That Girl - David Choi

Well, that was the first post of  '12, hope you enjoyed it!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is another day, and I have to get up early!

Oh, and a shoutout to Danai, my best friend since forever, as I know that she's pretty much the only one reading this blog: Heel erg bedankt voor het er-altijd-zijn, de leuke brieven en herinneringen, en moge er van beide nog veel veel meer komen!

Okay, now I'm REALLY done ^-^
