SunValleyTek sent me this UV light to try out and review and I can honestly report for the money it’s a great light and I would highly recommend it! They shipped it extremely quickly, Flynn was very nice to work with, and the light is actually really great quality! I’ve bought two other lights on Amazon in the past that were cheaply made and did not hold up but I can tell this light is going to hold up great. And it’s priced under $40 on Amazon!

I signed up for a fun little Crossfit competition tonight…and I’m a nervous wreck!!! I didn’t do the Crossfit Open this year because it scares the sh$% out of me and I can’t think straight for six weeks. The only consolation I have about this competition is it’s only two days…it’s only two days…it’s only two days. I can do this…I can do this…I can do this…
I know I’m not the only competitor who gets nervous so what’s the big deal right?????
Here’s a link to the sponsors to the competition…you …

I’ve thought for a long time now that diet is one of the most important things in order to have strong pretty nails (unless you are blessed genetically.) Here are three articles I wrote about the benefits of fish oil…I’ve been saying it ever since I started Crossfit and started downing fish oil…my nails have improved dramatically! Except for when I break …
This is my friend Connie…isn’t she cute 🙂
I like to call her Crossfit Connie 🙂
I’ve known Connie for about three years now. She was one of the original’s at Crossfit Dixie. I was totally intimidated and scared of her when I first started working out down there because she is sooooo bada$& but after hundreds of wod’s together I now know Connie is one of the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever met. And there’s nothing to be afraid of…but she is still totally bad-A! :)))) …
There are so many more important things going on in the world right now but I thought I’d share a little bit of fun for the weekend…
As many of you way have been aware, the VMA’s were last Sunday…I didn’t watch them entirely…I’ve seen bits and pieces of a few performances…my favorite one by far was Justin Timberlake’s AMAZING performance. I loved everything about it. He is so talented and all his backup dancers were amazing as well. Here’s the video in case you missed it:

I bet you’re wondering what the heck a recycled mani is…well when I did my Ikat Mani
I did the nail art over my existing gel polish mani with Striperite polish, which worked perfectly. Honestly, I am ready for a new set of nails after a few days…I think a week is the longest I’ve gone with the same color on my nails…and it was this mani here as a matter of fact 🙂 I just realized how dry my skin looks in that picture…obviously I haven’t been wearing my cleaning …
I had the pleasure of doing Cassidee Edmunds nails recently and loved getting to know her better! She is the most talented, sweetest girl–check out her website–it’s loaded with tons of adorable baby and mommy headbands, carseat canopies, and other absolutely darling baby accessories. All of it handmade by Cassidee!

I was racking my brain, as usual, trying to decide what theme I wanted to go with on Cassidee’s nails and finally realized that I’ve never done an Ikat mani. Which was perfect because I am in LOVE …
Here’s the second part in my Essie Fall 2013 swatch review 🙂 I saved the best for last!
Essie Cashmere Bathrobe
Cashmere Bathrobe is an absolutely wonderful gray polish that I am in love with! It’s a stormy charcoal gray with the most subtle red sparkle. Imagine yourself wrapped in a soft gray cashmere robe sitting by a crackling fireplace on a crisp autumn night…that’s the best way I can describe this polish! 🙂
On a side note, this would be the perfect polish for Gelish JetSet gel polish if you are …
I grabbed the Essie Fall 2013 Sample Cube while I was at SalonCentric this morning and am swatching two colors today and two Friday. Let me just begin by saying these colors are fabulous! Both went on super smooth and almost opaque with one coat. For The Twill Of It will be a great color to use for stamping, much like Good As Gold is.
Essie For The Twill Of It
This color is going to be a fall favorite for sure! It’s a metallic holographic color with shades of blue, …
These nails are so fun! We used OPI Black Onyx and Alpine Snow for the black and white and Gelish All About The Glow for the neon colors. I used a star pattern and checkerboard pattern stamp for the pinky and middle finger. It’s hard to tell in the picture but the index finger is a matte and glossy French mani. Although this mani is great for summer I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of patterns like this thoughout the fall and winter season as well. …
