I am a little behind on this article but just wanted to share this amazing collection with everyone and links to buy it. I love China Glaze polishes.

Their 2014 Spring Collection is exactly as I imagine a spring collection to be–soft pastel shades mixed with vibrant brighter hues. Check it out!

China Glaze nailed the color combinations!

These colors will be great alone or with some fun designs! Here are a few ideas from Pinterest to …

TGIF! Woohoo! Just a quick view of some ADORABLE V-Day nails I did yesterday for my gorgeous friend April. Isn’t she the ultimate babe!

She is beautiful inside and out!

She usually doesn’t do anything too busy on her nails which I totally understand–I personally like just one or two designs most of the time–but this time she wanted to go all out…kind of. Ha ha. They are similar to what I did on Nicole but we changed it up a bit…let me know what you think!

I used …

Guest Post–My Sister Sarah’s Favorite Skincare Product!

06 Feb

My little sister Sarah is the ultimate Amazon shopper because she lives in the “outback” of Nevada and there aren’t a lot of options for shopping out there. When I told her we were adding an Amazon shop to my site, she immediately started telling me about products I had to add because they are so amazing. I’m going to let her tell you about her favorite product, which I wasn’t able to add right away because they were sold out of it for a few weeks. Hope you enjoy …

I love hearing what The Color Institute Pantone will announce as the color of the year…you can read what I wrote about last year’s color here:

Pantone 2013

This is how Pantone describes Radiant Orchid…”Radiant Orchid blooms with confidence and magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health.”

A Lovely Mani for Monday

February is here! Only 11 days till V-Day! I know a lot of people are not a fan of the day of love, which I totally understand, but I can’t help myself! Even if I didn’t have a reason to celebrate I would still love all the fun themes that go along with Valentines Day.

I did these nails for my beautiful friend Nicole. She told me I could have free reign. Well, anything but flowers is what she said. 🙂 I’ve been wanting to do …

The Spring 2014 Gelish Collection looks dreamy! Aptly named “Once Upon A Dream” the colors are reminiscent of fairytales, castles, and knights in shining armor. My CosmoProf Beauty guide showed the colors to be released the first of February.

I LOVE Better Homes and Gardens! It is seriously one of my favorite magazines, websites, and cookbook. I use the cookbook all the time. Their waffle recipe is our family favorite but I modify it and add 4 eggs to add a little more protein. Westin requests them on any special occasion with strawberries and whip cream 🙂 I get tons of inspiration for home decor from the magazine and their pinterest boards too! Here are a few of my favorite Pins from their decorating boards…I would love for my …

Love notes, kisses, and gold glittery hearts = super sexy and sultry!

I bought these adorable nail tattoos last summer and haven’t used them much. I threw away the directions right away on accident and applied them wrong so I was afraid. But then Fingrs posted a tutorial on how to apply them the correct way and my life is whole again. I tried to find them to buy online and it’s nearly impossible. Here’s a link to see all the patterns in the package and then it looks like Walmart …
