Diva Kitchen Gloves–the best way to keep your hands and nails healthy…HANDS DOWN!

Listen up girls! All the lotion in the world will not protect your skin and nails if you don’t use kitchen gloves while you clean. I confess I’m guilty of not always “gloving up” but I notice a drastic difference in the condition of my hands and manicure when I use my kitchen gloves diligently.

I have a pair like this that I think my husband picked up at the grocery store. Although they are way too large for me, they get the job done…

Keep your hands and mani …

China Glaze Gelaze–a new gel polish from China Glaze!

One of my favorite nail polish brands is FINALLY releasing their gel polish collection and I am super excited to try it!

www.Gelaze.com

I found out about this amazing bit of information through the ever trusty Instagram world. Here are a few pics from @ChinaGlazeOfficial

If you go to www.Gelaze.com you can find tons of information about Gelaze but to sum it up it’s going to be totally different than most gel polish brands because you don’t use a basecoat (which is similar to Bioseaweed Unity Gel Polish.) It looks like …

Bioseaweed Gel Unity All In One Gel Polish

I was so excited when I got the chance to review this product. I’ve been super curious about it because the company, Bioseaweed Gel, promises it’s unlike any other gel polish on the market. I’ve tried so many brands now and can tell the subtle differences between all the brands, as I’ve mentioned in past reviews. Bioseaweed Gel Unity All In One is different because you don’t have to use a base or top coat, which I was super skeptical about, and the color coats dry hard, not tacky. Also, …

Summer Bling! China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle with Gold Striping Tape

I realized yesterday I never swatched this gorgeous turquoise polish by China Glaze. It’s called Too Yacht To Handle, which I love because it reminds me of crusing along turquoise waves on a luxury yacht!

I love Fingrs Heart2Art Collection!

Check out this video from Fingrs Youtube station:

I seriously love Too Yacht To Handle! I’ve had it on two days now and I think it’s getting brighter and prettier! It’s holding up great with two top coats of Seche …

I am in love with ombre hair!

I know ombre hairstyles have been around for a few years, but I just wanted to share this video my sister told me about because it looks amazing and I can’t wait till she can try it on me!

I love being blonde, but I hate the root upkeep of it. I am too much of a prude to pull off the “trashy glamorous” look with two inches of regrowth. Plus, I hate to admit it, but I have tons of grey hair! I love that with ombre it would cover …

Pursuing Happiness Along The San Luis Obispo Wine Country Trail…

The story of the neverending vacation….

I’m on vacation….still…I think this is the longest vacation I’ve been on with my husband and son….and myself. I’m sure I don’t need to let you know how awesome it is. 🙂 I love this pic Tabeso posted on their Facebook page…pretty much sums it up right?

We toured San Luis Obispo County wine country and their winery’s a few days ago and that ranks right up there as a highlight of my life…

I loved all the winery’s but I would have to say Laetitia Winery …

Happy Independence Day! And Dior Nail Glow Enhancer

My friend and client Nancy told me about this amazing product from Dior. If you click on the picture it will take you to Nordstroms to buy it. Here’s a review from The Beauty Editor

I think it sounds like an amazing product! Enhances your natural nails in a few simple coats.

I hope everyone has a wonderful July 4th!!! I love the USA and everything our country stands for! Here’s some adorable nails I did for Jenna and Tennille!

We are on the road heading to the California Central Coast! …

Fing’rs Heart2Art Collection at Walmart

www.fingrs.com

Strolling through Walmart yesterday I came across an awesome assortment of nail art paraphanelia, I believe in the jewelery aisle, and stocked up on some adorable International Themed decals, some quirky Love Note tattoos, and three rolls of striping tape! Woohoo! Oh, I also grabbed two stamping plates that have a love note stamp I’ve wanted for a long time! I also needed a new stamping scraper and stamper so I felt like it was totally justified. 🙂

These are also the final version of my vacation nails–I decided …

Summer Braided Nail Design

My beautiful, funny, amazing friend Nicole got her nails done last week. Well actually she called it “making magic”. I think we did pretty good. 🙂 We used Gelish Carnival Hangover for the neon pink, Gelish My Favorite Accessory Stuff for the teal, and my favorite white, OPI Alpine Snow for the braids and polka dots. I think it turned out magical! 🙂

I did this with soak off gel polish…which is quite time consuming for the braided nail design. It’s a good thing Nicole loves hanging out with me 🙂 …

4th of July and Patriotic Nailart

I honestly love the 4th of July so much…for so many reasons. The top reason being that we live in the greatest country in the world and I love the USA so much! 🙂 My birthday might be the day before the 4th of July as well, so for as long as I can remember every time we celebrate my birthday fireworks and huge festivities are involved which always made me feel super special. My mom used to always buy me the cutest little red, …
