My New Nail Girl!
Yesterday was a super fun day for me! Not only did I get to do one of my favorite people’s nails, I also got to do her adorable daughter’s nails too! And not to brag or boast, but I am officially her new nail girl…don’t be too jealous. :)))))
I’ve written about April before who is seriously one of the coolest people ever and I’ve told her to bring Grace, her 10 year old (almost 11!) daughter with her but it’s just never worked out in the past. …
I’m Obsessed!
I’ve written about this product before but I love it so much I figured I would tell you again…this time with before and after pics just so you can witness the miracle firsthand. 🙂
Here I am in all my un-made up glory…no makeup whatsoever except my lash extensions…
As you can see my skin has a ton of red in it. I think it is possibly slightly sun damaged. I always exfoliate my skin really well with either brown sugar or baking soda and then apply a …
I don’t know if I ever mentioned but we signed my son up for city league soccer this year. He LOVES kicking the balls at recess and will go out after school for hours in the backyard kicking against the house so we thought maybe soccer would be a good fit for him. And it has been such a great experience for him! Not always happy but I think it’s taught him a lot about himself and working on a team. He takes it pretty hard when his team loses, …
Can you believe Easter is only 12 days away! I remember going through my son’s calender back at the first of the year and marking off all his vacation days and thinking, “Easter Break is so far away!” I had just found out I was pregnant. Once we reached Easter I knew the baby was just right around the corner. This year has flown by!
How do you celebrate Easter? Do you have some fun plans in the making? We are going to go to my little sister’s house in Pioche …
This is a common question/problem I see a lot on nail forums…what do I do with a nail biter? My poor friend Kendra is always my model for this problem but I just want her to know I was once a biter and I don’t judge. 🙂
I usually do acrylic on Kendra mainly because I don’t trust gel with length and we usually do a longer nail on Kendra. But I told her acrylic fumes are no bueno right now with my pregnancy so she said, “Just make my nails …
My friend Tennille is heading to Coachella this weekend and I know she is going to have so much fun! We’ve been planning her nails for a while now…and this is actually not what we had planned but I had to improvise last minute. I’m glad we did because I like this better!
We were going to use my Pastel Gargantuan Green Grape GelColor and I actually applied all the color, 3-4 coats on each nail, and then went to do the top coat and realized it hadn’t cured hardly AT …
It’s going to be over 80 and sunny next week in St. George! Which got me to thinking about spending a lot of time outdoors…which made me realize I am PASTY white…which reminded me about this awesome article I read on Maskcara.com…which led me to ordering this amazing sunless tanner! As you can see the brand offers other great products to go along with the mousse!
…
Acrygel – I’ve been doing gel polish for quite a long time now and it’s probably my favorite product ever. That doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated with it at times. I wish it would really truly hold up to it’s claim of even just a two week mani but most people are lucky to get 10-12 days of good solid wear unless they have natural nails of steel. Would you agree?
Soooo I came across this method what people call “Acrygel”. I feel like the last person to have …
Pastel Nails For Spring and Easter
I am in love with this color! It’s the perfect creamy yellow gel polish for a spring or Easter mani and will transition well into summer as well. I applied three coats in these pictures.
Feathers and flowers!
This color has been a love/hate relationship for me, as have all the Pastel GelColor’s I have used so far. They don’t want to cure right for me. If you are having this same problem with your Pastel GelColor’s, what has worked for me is to do …
Ok, first off, I just have to say, I feel really guilty writing this article because I have so many friends in the salon industry and I do not in any way want to take business away from them. I have a lot of guilt for even coloring my own hair! I kept asking my sister (who usually does my hair and is a stylist), “Are you sure you don’t mind???” And she promised she didn’t. So I went with it. I was DESPERATE. My sister is in the process …
