Nails Done

So I got my nails done for the first time yesterday! Manicure and Pedicure, the whole shebang! I wanted to get my nails done before I left for my vacation so I went to this place near my house named Polished. I think they are a recognized chain store so you should check out the one near you (if there is one). The inside is so nice, but they're always busy so make sure you make an appointment if you go.

The interior is so pretty despite the wait.


I got there around 6:30 with my cousin. I was getting a manipedi and my cousin was getting a pedicure. We waited until around 7:30 (they close at 8) before they called my cousin in. They called me in 5 minutes later. After a while of chitchating and watching this young girl work on my cousin's feet, I should've realized that no one was coming to do my nails...but I figured the same girl doing my cousin's nails would do mine after she was done with my cousin's nails. 

After she finished she's like "I wonder who's supposed to be doing your nails". Now I'm like huh?! It was already 8pm! One of the workers in charge came over and looked in the water where my feet were soaking and saw no one was working on me. He was so confused.
Let's just say we were the last ones to leave the store at 9:30 and my manipedi got upgraded free of charge.

I wasn't really mad. My patience has surprisingly grown over the years. If I was the old me I would have snapped. BAD. Lol.

I love the final result though (I'll only show my finger nails because I have ugly toes...).


The blue (OPI Nail Polish) is so pretty! I didn't want the glitter on my ring fingers to be so prominent, I just wanted them to shine in the sun but the lady that did my nails didn't like how light the nail polish was that I picked. I didn't mind her changing it though.

Unfortunately they're not keeping up well because I didn't get them gelled cause I'm cheap! Lol. Oh, just in case you wanted to know, toe nails are just solid lavender (Essie Nail Polish).

My Intro to Me and My Blog

I put off writing my intro all day! I had no clue what to say but now I figured I would wing it starting with the inspiration for my blog name. I misspelled credentials on purpose people! I know how to use spell check (because i really suck at spelling...). "Crad"entials, is a spin off of my last name Craddock. So the name of my blog basically means the "qualifications of my life". My blog is solely my opinion and my view of life. I'm wondering if I am explaining this in a way you all can understand. I know it sounded better in head when I decided on the name... but moving on! This blog will be advice, reviews, fashion, opinions, rants, etc.

Now I'll tell you a brief snippet about me. As you might know from the description box, my name is Kimberly and I am 19. I was born in St. Andrews, Jamaica (my whole life, until a couple years ago, I thought I was born in Kingston but that's another story). I moved to the United States when I was seven and I have lived here ever since. I moved in with my aunt (my dad's sister), uncle, and their three children. I know it's kind of weird that I don't live with my parents (there's not a crazy reason for that) but if you want more information on that, ask away and I'll make a post about. Anyways! I'm starting my Sophomore year in college in two weeks and I'm not prepared at all! My major is Fashion Merchandising. Woot woot! In my spare time I like to read (stay tune for book reviews!), write, and just be on my computer doing random stuff.

I hope that as I progress in writing in my blog I will become more comfortable and show you all my colors. I hope you come back, support me, and read my posts. I'm going to Ocho Rios, Jamaica on Thursday for vacation but I'll be sure to blog and post pictures since they have free wifi!!!!
