Nails for a cause…

I don’t really know how to begin this post. I’ve rewritten these first few sentences a hundred times now and have decided that there are no words to explain why I decided to post about this family except that I feel the need more often than not to write about something bigger than the color of my nails…

Does Vinylux by CND really last for 7 Days?

Yesterday marked the end of my 7 day Vinylux Challenge. I must admit, I love this new polish!!! CND claims it will last 7 days chip free and although I did not see those results I was extremely pleased that mine lasted five days chip free! In Vinylux’s defense, I am ULTRA hard on my nails! I usually can only get about 9-10 days out of gel polish.

My ring finger corners chipped off at day 3 but it was on the verge of breaking before I applied Vinylux. I wore …

Trendy and Chic Nail Styles–stripes, dots, kisses, studs, hearts & fun!

I’ve had the pleasure of doing some beautiful nails the last few weeks for my BFF’s 🙂 In case you are wondering, I get a lot of my inspiration from Instagram. Instagram has to be the number one spot for nail ideas these days. It’s crazy how many nail accounts are on there! I was totally overwhelmed when I first signed up and started following people, but once I got the hang of it and became comfortable on there, I love navigating around and trying to find the styles that …

Chic Salon Styles–Dreamy Salons and Spas

What makes a great nail salon or spa? I think about this question a lot. The salon of my dreams would be ultra clean and bright with tons of natural lighting as well as bright overhead lights. The nail tables would be unique and modern and the pedicure area would be so comfortable clients would have a hard time staying awake. I would offer my guests refreshing treats and showcase live music occasionally. I don’t have plans in the near future to open a salon just in case anyone was …

Tropix is my favorite CND Shade and it’s perfect for summer time!

I just am so excited about this product I can’t wait till Day 7 to review it, my initial plan, because I wanted to show a day by day slideshow of the durability of Vinylux.

CND Vinlyux–a new polish promising one week of durability and wear!

I am really excited to try Vinylux. I have to admit, when I first heard about it, I was skeptical. I heard CND was releasing a new polish that would last a week and I figured they were just going to make nail strips like everybody else. Then I saw that it is actually going to be a polish, but I figured …

My Swimsuit Wish List–And The Perfect Polish To Go With The Perfect Swimsuit!

Swimsuit season is upon us here in sunny southern Utah. I’ve always loved summer time, but in years past, I would dread any occasion where a swimsuit would be the appropriate dress code. Which happens a lot for my family because our in-laws have an amazing pool and backyard and my little boy loves spending time at the Washington Rec Center.

Westin’s favorite place in the world–the Washington Rec Center

I’ve been asking myself a lot lately why this swimsuit season is so different than others and I think there …

I LOVED Silver Linings Playbook! Jennifer’s nails were as amazing as everybody’s performances!

We watched Silver Linings Playbook for the first time last night and loved it! We bought it on our AppleTV as soon as it was released. I have been dying to see this movie ever since I first watched the trailer and it wasn’t out in theaters very long in St. George and then it took FOREVER to release to DVD. My husband informed me it was getting really good reviews even before Jennifer and Bradley’s award nominations, so I knew it was going to be good! I was soooo …

Tabeso nails!

These were a labor of love. The ring finger took me a good half hour 🙂 but anything for Tabeso 🙂

I am doing a nailart challenge on Instagram and the challenge today was match your nails to your outfit. I wore my Tabeso shirt for my sons Relay For Life walkathon at his school and realized it was about time I did some Tabeso nails! The Walkathon was fun even though my son ditched me. That’s ok, he had fun running with his classmates while I walked and enjoyed the …
