Seriously, if you ever have one of those Hellz days, feel free to send me some photos of you looking your best! I’m always up for some fan support!

NAILSSS DID: Keroppi.

deeeeyum, keroppi!? how many of yall think of keroppi & it instantly takes you back to childhood memories? *raises hand* & to be honest, how many of yall actually seen a set of keroppi nails did? i havent... until now! my homegirl jhoana [who actually use to slave right beside me, back in our f21 days] hit me up & asked if we could have a nail sesh. since i never ever went to nail tech school - i dont do acrylics/gel shit. SO, she went to the shop before hitting me up & got plain acrylics did. jhoana's nails are so fuckn cute, i might just have to steal her theme & do these on myself! haha.

Excuse me, while I play catch up.

JILLIAN. long story, short.. this girl found me thru the hellz bellz blog & not cuz i blow up their shit with comments all the time. buuuut, after my homie brittany featured me as HELLZ GIRL OF THE WEEK jill claims shes been a fan of my asade work eversince. i was truly flattered, but nonetheless more than excited to help out a fellow hellz enthusiast.



during our hair sesh, communication was lightweight unclear on how she wanted her mohawk. the must haves were just braids/twistys. so, i played around with different variations. she didnt keep this look, but i thought this teased bubble-pinned piece was fuckn dope.


prom hair; mohawk with side twistys, coils, & cornrows

PABLO. he's one of my "regulars." peep the before & after tho o_O



with hair like that, its alotta work BUT somebodys gotta do it.

JENNIFER is actually my lil cousin, vannessa's homegirl. prior to our appt, she wasnt sure how she wanted her shit done. so i noted down a few things she'd like to have & presented her some of my sketches. which wins for the both of us - i create my shit & she rocks an original.


prom hair; double cornrow headband with 1/2 up&down curl bun + curls.

JEWEL normally, i wouldnt go out my way hella far for freelancing unless im working on hella heads for an event or somethin' but jewel is folks. we been homies since high school, so i mobbed all the way to daly city for literally a 15 min hairstyle lol. all good, she paid for my gas & treated me to a starbucks mocha frap. hollaaaa! :]


wedding hair [not a bride, but just IN the wedding] low topsy with fishtail braid.


& her fiance mark, is re-growing his tail [if you couldnt see the extra thickness ontop vs the bottom]. yeah, i had to work somethin' with that as well. hella cute tho, hi baby marissa!

CARMINA im basically the lavatoria's personal cosmetologist. forever stylin' their hair for formal events for the past few years now, which is pretty dope. theyre folks too!


prom hair; teased bubble-pinned mohawk with side coils.

NAILSSS DID: Keith Haring.

..aka lightweight "rude boy pt. deuce." i hella loved the inspired keith haring print on my index finger from last-last weeks nails did, that i soley wanted to pay my respects to this legendary artist.



i aint finna put up a front. it wasnt till after my nails were did, i got my wikipedia on. originally, i used rihanna's rude boy background to copy the prints but i wish i would've done my research before! i couldve threw on some of those dancing stick figured people he creates. shoulda coulda woulda DAMN.



[process]:


i dont think ive done him enough justice, as much as did for fafi. so, maaaaybe i'll create another keith haring nails did in the future. just maybe, ha!

Fuck you right here.

hood nerd erk tha jerk, takes me back to 05-06 when the hyphy movement changed everyones lifestyle [i hella miss those days!]. thas when literally every bay area artist; from new ones to old veterans: mistah fab, diligentz, e-40, the team, kafani, dem hoodstarz, messy marv, the pack, san quinn, too $hort, go dav, mac dre, keak da sneak, tha jacka (& the list goes onnnn) were contanstly gettn slapped on our local air waves.



although the movement got played out in time, it always feels good to see a few bay area natives make it to the top like keyshia cole, goapele, or even bobby brackin's (aka young bob) with his new 143 joint. so, im proud to feature ERK THA JERK'S new video on my blog. his shit is gettn played on mtv jams! congrats maaaayne.

WE OUT HERE.

im in the buildin' & im feelin' myself! popped hella bottles for my homegirl, kristina's birthday at club roe in the city. let me tell you, it was dumbass SMAAAACKIN. we gigged for days. fave highlight of the night? fuck, way too many! it was ridiculously crackin’ once the dj started slappin' allllllllllll drake & young money shit. when drake's song "over" came on IT WAS OVER. literally the whole entire club sanged his shit word for word. anyways talk bout being on some partying & bullshit hype; we didnt come stumbling into the house until 5am o_O


birthday love.

NAILSSS DID: PINK Vickyz.

intentionally, i meant to throw on a solid color because i was hella busy over the weekend from prom appts. but one 3D charm led to some teddy bears.. & then i ended up with this polka dot-stripe design. i was trynna think of a title to name 'em & the one thing that came to mind was victoria's secret. somethin' bout those polka dots & colorway that made me think pink.
