So Trashy It's Classy

 I have to say, I've made a brilliant discovery.  You thought I had covered it all with spikes, neons, and nudes but no, there's more.  There's one material we are forgetting here....sequins, and a LOT of them.  Why simple accessorize with them when you can cover yourself to look like a human disco ball?  Party here, party there, party everywhere.  I'm almost positive that the main consumers of the company, Sequin Queen are drag queens, which makes these dresses all the more appealing.  Put on some shades for this insanely blinding selection of sequin vomit, I might just have to buy all of them.

Mesmerizing, isn't it??  It's practically hypnotizing you to buy it.

Why not deck your best man friend in some sequins as well?  I'm sure he would love it.  And then you can have a better reason to borrow his clothes (I mean who wants to wear baggy sweatshirts and baseball caps anyways?)

Oh look, everything is covered in all the right places.  Your mother would be so proud of your modesty.

And things begin to go down a very strange path...

I hope even a drag queen won't wear this.

And the finale......this ruffled floor dusting robe.  Very natural, in a aquatic, jelly fish kind of way.

To keep the sequin love coming, Sequin Queen has also provided us with our VERY OWN chance to make a killer (and I mean physically and mentally harmful) outfit with our own choice of fabric.  They sell everything from sequins, metallics, lace, and crystal fabrics in any quantity (costume designing for a bunch of twelve year old dancers, yes?)  I will definitely be investing in some of this fabulously over the top fabric and making some equally gawk-provoking apparel.  Take a look at Sequin Queen Fabrics!

Don't Corner Me In A Dark Alley

As I am always admiring Miss Lady G, why stop at outfits and lyrics?  Pointed nails aren't just good looking, they are also very practical, functioning as....defense mechanisms, toothpicks (a great way to get that spinach out of your teeth), pushing in that darn reset button, nose pickin' (just kidding....KIDDING!), yeah thats about it.  Throw away your pepper spray, mace, and baseball bat, this is the only tool you need to warn off potential evil.    





Supplies:
  • Black Nail Polish
  • Silver Sparkly Nail Polish
  • Sally Beauty Secret Nail Hardener Top Coat
  • Nail Envy by O.P.I.
  • Emery board



Step 1)  File your nails to a point, but not too sharp, we aren't going too gothic here.  I usually do square ends and this was a BIG step for me...but I like it.  And it turns out to be more practical, the ends don't break off as easily and if they do, it's in a point-like way.


Step 2)  Slap on some of that O.P.I. Nail Envy, it's great for strengthening your nails, I used it a lot after getting acrylics constantly from working at a salon (that was one bitchin' discount!).


Step 3)  Paint it Black, just like the Michelle Branch song (okay fine, Rolling Stones).  Stay in the lines, this ain't kindergarten.



Step 4)  Add the silver glitter to the beginning of the nail beds, I added a little layer of sparkle as it moved up the nail to add a little ombre effect (am I trendy or what?).


And here are your scary, Gaga nails.  Us little monsters would make Mama so proud!


Shall I quit my day job and be a hand model instead??
