Disney Nails 2

These are the latest Disney nails I've tried:  Minnie Mouse!  I saw these on multiple instagram posts and couldn't wait to try them myself!!

They look great on my Minnie phone handset!  I used ORLY french manicure strips for the red, and a dotting tool for the dots & Mickey!  (Unfortunately they chipped off immediately the next day--I think I need to find a new topcoat polish!)

I was in a pink mood before that, so I made these Cheshire Cat nails.  I'm not the biggest Alice in Wonderland fan, but I do love the art!  I had a lot of time on my hands for these (Spring Break from my TA job--also, no pun intended!!) so I made each nail different.  The cat's face is on my thumb, then stripes, dots, and 2-tone with a gold tape stripe in the middle!  I just bought 2 rolls of nail tape in silver & gold and I just love them!  (Also need a top coat for that, otherwise it pops right off!)

Then I ran into this dude in the Times Square Disney Store!

Before my cat nails I'd watched Up for the zillionth time and man I just love that movie.  I'd also seen these nails on Instagram before, and wanted to try them for myself:

I did the house with a regular polish brush, and the details with a dotting tool.  I used the dotting tool for the balloons & clouds, too!  (The white is Wite-Out because I'd thrown out the other white polish I had--it'd started to get goopy and gross.)

And I'll leave you with these nails I did for that wonderful gift my boyfriend got me for Christmas--tickets to Aladdin on Broadway!!   It was a fanTAStic show which I cannot recommend highly enough!!  I chose a Jasmine-y teal and dotted on some gold glitter for the tips!  I loved these nails!  And I was lucky enough to get this adorable Abu vinylmation keychain on my first try!  (You never know with those vinyls!  Sometimes you win the lotto, sometimes you get the only one you didn't want!)

Can't wait to do some more Disney nails!!  Any suggestions?

Little Updates!

Ohh okay, I see.  WDW's Facebook page says the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train opens May 28th!  Plenty of time for it to not be such a bum-rush when I'm there in August!  The main thing I really want to see this time is Toy Story Mania!  I've gone 2 times since it's been open and the lines have been too long and/or the fastpass was for much later than I'd planned to stay.  Guess who's going to do a bit of her own bum-rushing this trip!!

New Fantasyland was also incomplete during my last trip (October 2012).  I was hoping the Little Mermaid ride would be open then but no such luck!  It's open now and I can't wait!!  I also hope to have lunch or at least stick my head in at Beast's castle (dinner reservations for August are LONG GONE)!

I also have to figure out this magicband situation.  Is it cool?  Is it worth it?  (I think it's free, so, probably worth it!)

Disney Trip Planning 2014!!!

Hey.  Haven't seen you in a while.  I just booked a trip to Walt Disney World for this August!!!  Let the planning begin!!

First of all, I'm sure you've all seen that the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is open (or at least had opened in previews and was all instagram'd out on May 1)!  I'm not one for roller coasters, but I do want to try this one!  (But it looks scary!!  The rocking seats??  Yeesh!)

Second, and what reminded me to post again in this blog already, is that Hot Topic is carrying a TON of Disney merchandise!  So get on it!!  Today I bought a Buzz Lightyear bow (and wore it today with my spaceship earrings and green sweater, Disneybounding at the mall):

and Minnie Mouse stockings (her image is on the front of the legs, split between the right and left legs, so it looks like it's tattoo'd almost):

They also had stockings of the Disney princesses and Alice, a Woody-inspired hair bow,  jewelry with sayings on them ("To Infinity and Beyond," "Kiss the Girl"), necklaces and earrings of various characters, bundles of socks with Disney AND Pixar characters (Nemo, Toy Story, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Villains!!), T-shirts, dresses, underwear, even RECORDS.  Records each with a big colorful scene from its movie on it, like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King.  I had to leave before I spent more than I had come in with!  Definitely check it out!!

I'll be updating the blog as I make plans for August!  See ya real soon!!
