Here to share my dreadlock journey, organic health journey, natural hair and skin products, personal revelations, spirituality, and good books. Why the name Dreadfull Life, for this reincarnation of a blog? History tells us the term dreadlocks was used generally to describe locs, by saying our hair is dreadful! I am simply turning that demeaning term around into a blog of positivity for those who rock dreadlocks proudly and admirers who are considering growing them.

Nails Nails Nails!!!
I've never been the kinda girl that has to get my nails done every two weeks. Hell, I work so hard and much with my hands I never paid them any attention. The last time I had my nails done was......hmmmmmm....College Graduation! I was more into pedicures because I favored the look of my toes in hot peep toe pumps and sandals, more than my finger nails. Recently, I've developed a desire to try get matching mani pedi sets...Great experience, but can become costly, especially if you're a fan of acrylic or gel nails. I would accompany my line sister, Sher, to the Nail Shop and all of a sudden I felt like a little girl getting her first mani. Maybe because it makes a woman feel feminine, pretty, and expressive of their own personality....
I wasn't ready for the full commitment of falsies and acrylic (such a pain to remove and keep up with). So I started getting manicures with accompanying colors to match my moods. However manicures and polish changes don't last nearly as long as a full set of gel nails. Two days after I'd find my polish chipping and I'd be a little disappointed. I decided to take a break from my costly regimen and try doing my own regularly, which gives me the freedom to change whenever I like. I wanted something a little more funky than the traditional colors so I tried Sally Hansen's nail products. Outcome:
And on another day:
This leopard peel on polish comes in a set of 20 (which could fit on your toes as well) with handy, quick, and easy instructions....Just make sure you keep them room temp. One day it got a little hot in my room and when I tried to use it, it wouldnt stick to my nails as good as when I first purchased it. If this happens to you, just apply polish to your nails right before applying the nail decal....
I get so many compliments, people think I went to a nail shop and requested this design! Nope..just another creative bargain
