So I know I technically joined the site a long time ago, but recently I've been wanting to post more and lurk less, so I thought I'd introduce myself to you guys!
My name is Nikki, and I'm 24-years-old. Up until now I had been going to a 4-year college for New Media Art. I've decided recently, however, that that's not the way I want to go anymore, and am looking to in the next couple of days withdraw from classes and apply for beauty school. I'd like to get certificates/licenses in both Cosmetology and Manicuring. Anyone who is in those fields and can offer any advice, I'd be more than willing to take some. I'm really excited to get started!
As far as makeup goes, I didn't really get into it until about 2 years ago, before which I was a real tomboy/loner type of girl. Then I got obsessed suddenly when I found out how much better I could make myself look. I discovered MAC not too long after that, but I really started following collections when the Hello Kitty line came out last year! I'm slowly building my arsenal of beauty products now. I love to experiment with everything, especially color. My other most used brands are Urban Decay, Smashbox, and Stila, but MAC is probably my favorite. I'm also a member of MUA, and do swaps and post over there ocassionally.
Personal life: I still live at home with my parents, and I have two younger sisters, but both are moved out and going to college. I kind of went through a breakdown after college, and was diagnosed bipolar, so it took a good 6 years for me to get my life straight, and I'm still working on it! I have a fiancee that I plan on marrying and moving in with as soon as I get a regularly paying job after school. His name is Rob, and I've been with him for 4 years on March 30th. He literally changed my life, and gave me the confidence to be the person I am today. Plus he loves when I wear makeup, so it works!
I have to say, I'm a little shy and may come of as a snob at first, but I swear I'm not! I love to make new friends, especially on the internet, and I'd love to make some here that share my passion.
I'm also a facebook addict, so if you use it, add me! http://www.facebook.com/dxgirly Just say in the request that you're from Specktra! I must warn you though that I update very often, and I'm very blunt and honest. It's all in good fun though!
Well that's about it! I swear I'll stop lurking now and start posting!
