Nail Bling

I went to a co-worker's wedding this past weekend, so I decided to decorate my nails (mostly because I just wanted a reason to). I was initially intending to glue on nail tips and then decorate with nail polish and acrylic decor, but after I finished painting my toe nails I realized that my nail tips were melted together! I'm guessing that the nail polish remover leaked in the basket and destroyed the tips. I would have gone to buy more, but my toe nails were wet and it seemed like a pain. So I improvised! I had a set of press-on nails that I bought at the drug store forever ago. I glued them on with Krazy Glue and then added a little personalized bling. Not bad?

I used Nail Artist 3D Charms from Kiss that I found at a local drug store. They can be purchased here. I bought out the entire selection since charms this cute don't usually appear in stores. My favorite is the white acrylic bow, but there's a donut and heart-shaped cake that are adorable! The charms come with crappy glue in a tube that can't be squeezed, so I usually use Krazy Glue instead.

The wedding was in Chinatown, San Francisco so I spend some time window shopping before the reception. I haven't been in Chinatown for several years and I was surprised by the large amounts of Japanese goods being sold (Hello Kitty mostly). I found a super cute teddy bear ring! ^^

I'm going to do a review of the Toy Parade re-release, but I feel too lazy to take photos right now. I'll take some this weekend during Fanime and post next week. Stay tuned!

Domo My ♥

I'm devoting this post to my favorite mascot, Domo-kun. ^^ Domo has become increasingly popular over the last decade, with paraphernalia appearing all over the place. My favorite campaign was the Slurpee cups, which I bought in abundance for an entire summer until I had a substantial collection of large, plastic Domo cups (now looking extremely loved).

I'm celebrating an awesome find at Zumiez this week, a shirt I've nicknamed "Domo My Heart".

I don't know what I'd really do if I had Domo-kun instead of a heart, but I figure that he just makes things more lively. In my opinion, the meaning of this shirt is that Domo-kun sustains life.

Even my cat loves Domo. (=^_^=)

I don't really know much about Domo-kun's background. He reminds me of a square Kogepan, but was born from an egg? (O_O)
