Amandamarie's rush thread

the nail tips will only dissolve if you use a nail polish remover with acetone in it. if you use non acetone, you can change nail polish colors, but probably would not be a good idea to just leave them bare!

Your rush outfits sound awesome - and GOOD LUCK!

I do like the "hair up" with a flower or other accent (posted by WhiteDaisy128). Ditto what the others said about: the clothes you selected sound great, ou have 4 great choices (keep your options open).

I will keep my fingers crossed that the waxing & nails turn out okay. Good Luck w/Rush!!! Can't wait to hear your story.

That hairstyle in the picture is absolutely gorgeous! I'm looking for styles to wear for my sister's wedding and I think I found it. The theme is tropical flowers and fuschia everything so that'll be perfect!

Ok, back to the topic at hand... if you've used that person to wax your brows before, then there shouldn't be a problem. However, if it's someone new, I agree with everyone else- get them done at least 3 or 4 days in advance and then pluck the day before if necessary.

Ok everybody, I'm going to go with the advice and get my eyebrows done a few days earlier. That day doesn't work anyway after all, I forgot I have a concert in KC to go to that day. I'm going out today to look for shoes/hair stuff, I'll let you know what I find!

OK, I don't know if I made sense about the nails earlier. I have french tips right now. I'm wondering if I can paint over them to have a different color for a day, and then remove the polish, but not the tips. I figured I should ask before I try and ruin something.

I sometimes wear the white French tips. The French tips will not show through darker polishes. Sometimes when I am tired of the French manicure, I will paint over my nails with a sheer color of pink or peach. It makes the french manicure look "softer", but still professional and neat.

Yay, a rush thread already! You know we're desperate for them when it's still a month till your rush and the thread has already hit three pages.

Good luck to you!

Ok, today I went shopping and got some shoes and a really cute scarf. I think I'm going to tie my hair up in it somehow, cause to put it around my neck really wouldn't work to well. Here's a close up of the pattern
And here's a picture of it. Mine's the black one on the left.
I think it's cute without looking too stuffy. And the colors in it aren't specific to one chapter. Let me know what you think!

[bgsarah]

are you still going with the black dress? if so, I'd try the black one!

[amandamarie]

Yup, still going to wear the black dress. That scarf just jumped out at me, and it was half off! I just tried on my whole outfit, and it looks so cute! I'm so excited!

[bgsarah]

oh my gosh I'm silly. I thought you said you weren't going with the black one.

tired! ahah.

[GeekyPenguin]

That is a gorgeous scarf and I think it will definitely make you stand out!

I wanted to wish you the best of luck on recruitment from a fellow PNM!!!

[amandamarie]

Red Fox - Thanks and I wish you luck as well Today I called the recruitment chair for the area NPC alumnae association about getting some recs written. I know it's kind of late, but I thought it would be worth a shot. I'll let you all know what she says when she calls back!

[amandamarie]

Well, the recruitment chair finally got back to me. She's going to write a rec for me for Gamma Phi Beta, and is making calls to get me ones for the rest! I really hope this will give me a little extra something. 3 1/2 weeks to go! I'm getting sooooo excited!
