Vacation nails for me and #vacationnails from Instagram!

Avila Lighthouse Suites–the perfect California Beach Resort

It’s that time of the year again! Time for me and my hubby and Westin to go on vacation! I am super, duper excited! We are going to California’s Central Coast…Santa Maria for 3 nights and Avila Beach for 3 nights. My brother-in-law is from Santa Maria and he and my SIL are staying at his folks house the entire time, but my husband and I thought it would be fun to get a room right on the coast for a few nights. Three …

Funky neon rose nailart

Check out these cute, fun nails! I originally did them on my friend Tennille with Gelish gel polish and then decided to recreate them on myself with regular polish. Here is Tennilles version:

I used Make You Blink Pink by Gelish and then an assortment of bright gel polish colors for the flowers. You have to do a white base under the flowers in order to get them to really pop and stand out! 🙂

Here is my version with regular polish:

I used China Glaze Flip Flop
Fantasy for the base and then …

Flag Day Inspired Nailart With Easy Tutorial

I love when I wake up in the morning and find that there have been U.S.A. Flags placed up and down our streets! See how pretty they look!

There are perks to being on Main Street! I usually have two flags in front of my house but I think a new person placed them this morning and accidentally did two at my neighbors–I’ll forgive them :)I also added some cute red, white and blue ribbons to my porch that I can leave up till after July 24th for Pioneer …

The Best Yellow Nail Polish Hands Down!

Bicycle Yellow by Creative Nail Design–the best yellow nail polish!

I have been searching for a great yellow nail polish for quite some time. I love OPI Need Sunglasses and the It Color but they just didn’t quite measure up to the perfect shade of yellow in my opinion. When I saw that Creative Nail Design (CND) was releasing a yellow in the new Vinylux collection I was super excited to try it. And as you can see, it’s gorgeous! It’s a creamy, slightly shimmery yellow that was almost opaque in …

Neon peach and turquoise summer nail art!

Gelish I’m Brighter Than You–Neon Peach Gel Polish is amazing!

I just wanted to share these adorable nails with the world!

We used Gelish I’m Brighter Than You which is a neon peach and hard to capture on photo. I then did OPI GelColor Alpine Snow on her ring finger with Young Nails Mani Q Green 101 for the chevron stripes.

When I do the chevron stripes I freehand them and do thin coats until I reach the desired effect, usually in about 3-4 coats. I use a thin striping brush …

Black, white, and gold wedding nails with tuxedo and wedding dress nail art and diamonds and pearls…what more could a bride want!

My beautiful client and friend Jenna is getting married this weekend! I am so excited for her and her fiancé Nick! They are the cutest couple and Jenna is going to be the most beautiful bride! They are heading to Las Vegas and Mexico after their nuptials for an amazing honeymoon too…sooo jealous :)))

I did a hard gel overlay on all her nails to make them extra strong and durable for the wedding week and then did all the nail art with gel polish. Alpine Snow by OPI for …

Hilarious Ellen DeGeneres Nail Polish/Late Night Movie Video!

Who doesn’t love Ellen?!? On one of her recent shows, she did a game where they had titles to Late Night Cinemax Movies and Nail Polishes, and the audience had to decide if the title was a movie or a polish…so funny!

Here’s a pic of my latest mani–Lobster Roll by CND

I love this color! It reminds me a lot of Cajun Shrimp by OPI. A gorgeous red coral. I paired it with a Dashing Diva Design FX Strides and Stripes wrap on my ring finger and did a simple dot …

Funky hippie nails for Tennille!

Summer Nails with I’m Brighter Than You, Chevron, and Feathers

The new Gelish Neon Collection is PERFECT for summer! I was skeptical when I saw they were releasing another neon collection because they did the Rio Collection about two years ago and I didn’t think there was a need for more neon colors. However, there was! These neons are more like China Glazes neon …

Vertigo Nails! Dashing Diva Chevron Nail Wraps, CND Vinylux Pink Bikini, Black Square Studs

Vertigo Nails

I have been laid up all week with vertigo and let me tell ya it is noooo fun. I haven’t been able to workout since Monday which totally stinks for me because I hardly ever go a day without getting some sort of Crossfit workout in. My sister Mandy and I have been training for a half marathon as well, so I’m worried this is going to possibly put a stop to my training. I’ve always thought how awful it would be to get injured and not …
