HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Special thanks to: May (Kitana) and June (Mileena)!

Happy Halloween everyone!!!!!!!! What did you dress up as? I went as Jade from Mortal Kombat along with a group of friends and family. We went downtown (Orlando) in a group of 8 or 9 and had a blast taking pictures with a bunch of other people dressed up. I know the group photos I put up are small but my brother (Ricky) would be the one in the Raiden outfit and his fiancĂ© is Kitana (May), Mileena is May's twin sister, June (in real life) and her fiancĂ© is Sub-Zero (Don). Other characters were Reptile (Van), Scorpion (Troy), and Kung Lao (Khai). That might've been confusing and un-necessary info but thought I would share that with you! Lil C.Ly is in high school so she lives with our parents in West Palm and didn't get a chance to go.

Here's an up close photo if you'd like to see --> Mortal Kombat Halloween 2011

The nail design idea (solid color with OPI black shatter) came from May and we thought it'd be cute if we had matching nails even though it was so dark out and no one would see it lol. We each did our own and June (Mileena) added some silver onto hers to represent the nasty teeth that her character had in the game.

I mentioned in my previous post that I was going to get a sewing machine, and I did!! I made the girls' outfits (with a bit of their help of course) as well as mended some of the boys' outfits. I originally got a small sewing machine that looked like a toy called "Sew E-Z" lol and I really liked it so I decided to upgrade to a big girl sewing machine and got a Brother one. I'm obsessed with it right now! I made a couple of pillows for my bed and it's awesome! Hmm..what should I do next?

I vant to suck your blood!



Hello again!! It was so beautiful out today :-) I'm pretty excited for the weather change since we don't get a lot of cold here in Orlando, Fl. It doesn't really get cold (and stays cold) until mid November and lasts until probably early February.

I absolutely loved creating this design and my favorite would have to be the eye ball. I originally saw some images of blue bloody eyes but thought the red eye would be suitable for this theme. You can't really see it but I'm holding onto a skeleton type of zombie voo doo doll I picked up at Walgreens in their seasonal section the other day. I can't seem to find where I put that doll though! I hope it doesn't creep up next to me when I sleep :-/

Anyways..I'll be working on my Halloween costume soon! Soon meaning probably the week of Halloween because I'm a procrastinator. I'm thinking about picking up a sewing machine..not sure what kind yet but maybe something simple since I don't know how to use one. I've been looking for nice throw pillows to put on my bed but the nice pillows are all expensive and cheap ones don't have the look I want so if I get that sewing machine maybe I'll make my own :-).

Until next time!

It's ALIVE!!!!!



So here's to my first blog post ever (on sillynails)! I recently gained a new love interest with nail art and thought it'd be great to share it to anyone who'd like to see. The first time I've ever painted images on my nails would be when I did a bunch of angry birds but I didn't get a chance to take a decent quality photo of them :-(. That'll probably be something I'll do again in the future!

This one was inspired mainly by the season and with halloween coming up what's better to do but dress up your nail! My nails are pretty short and stubby due to the fact that I used to bite my nails (don't anymore phhewww) so I don't have a large and pretty "canvas" space :-) My sister's nails will be the ones that look nice and healthy which you'll be able to see in the newer posts lolz.

Our blog isn't really a tutorial based blog so we won't really be writing about how we did everything but please feel free to ask any questions and we'll love to answer!
