Live.Love.Carnaval Spring Nail Art with tutorial

25 Feb

I saw this idea on BioSculpture’s Facebook page and loved it! Luckily, my friend Tennille was game with letting me try it out on her yesterday!

We used OPI GelColor Live.Love.Caranaval which is so fabulous! It’s not quite as bright and fluorescent looking in real life. Kind of in between Cajun Shrimp and My Chihuahua Bites. I absolutely LOVE it though! It applies perfectly too–I did three coats on Tennille which is what I usually do with all my gel polishes so I was totally happy with the results.

I know other parts of the country are still in the throes of winter but just in case you think you might get a chance to wear sandals soon, I thought I would throw together a few tips to get your feet and toes looking pedi perfect!

Step 1–File Dry Skin

My favorite way to do an at home pedi is to start with dry feet, place a towel under your feet to catch the mess, and gently file away dry skin. This is my favorite foot file. It’s super cheap so …

If you follow me on social media, you might have noticed I LOVE Pinterest. It is definitely my biggest guilty pleasure. I still remember when Brenda Blake introduced me to it while I was giving her a pedicure a few years back. It’s been a passionate love affair with pinning ever since…

I’ve pinned thousands of amazing ideas but just recently decided I was going to start investigating the “Pinner behind the Pin” and thank goodness I did because I’ve found the most amazing blogs written by the most incredible people. …

Imagine Dragons.Nevada.OPI.

This is a little random and I really wish I had a great reason such as an upcoming concert visit or something really exciting for doing these nails…but no…I just felt inspiration because I love Imagine Dragons and I love Nevada and I love this yellow gel polish by OPI called I Just Can’t Cope-a-Cabana.

Last summer whenever “It’s Time” would come on the radio my little boy would get super excited (he was 6) and say “Turn it up Mom!” and then we’d start …

I pulled these off of Chickettes awesome website…you should check her out 🙂

And here is a shot I pulled off of Pinterest…I believe they come from this lovely website:)

I think I’ve found my new favorite polish. How do I know? Because I can’t stop staring at my nails! I am in love with this shade! It’s from the new OPI Brazil Collection which is OPI’s Spring 2014 Collection. It’s a bright, fun, flashy coral that will transition perfectly for summer. I can’t wait to use it for my next pedi! Of course it’ll look adorable on toes as well! I love the way it goes with my skin tone too. I have a yellowish tinged skin tone and …

Hello everyone! We’ve had an absolutely gorgeous weekend here in St. George! It was over 70 and sunny all day yesterday. I am so sorry if it’s cold and miserable where you’re at. I feel for you. But I know deep down in my heart…spring is on the way! 🙂

There are few things in life that make me happier than planting flowers. I’ve been scouring Lowe’s for weeks waiting for them to get just a few flowers in stock. After my son’s Valentines Day party on Friday, I was finally …

My friend Tennille is taking a little getaway to Arizona this weekend and needed some fun nails to go along with her. I’m super jealous–she’s hitting up Pheonix, Scottsdale, and Sedona…with an Imagine Dragon’s concert thrown in! I love the Imagine Dragons so much! I told my son Westin when he gets a little older and doesn’t mind booming music we will go to a concert together and rock out 🙂

Tennille loves OPI GelColor Every Month is Octoberfest so we combined it with a “hippie” peace sign and a hibiscus …

Hi everyone! I’ve got some fun ideas for the rest of the week and I am super excited to announce the winner of my Valentines Day Contest Friday! But I wanted to take a minute today and tell you about an amazing product…

I’m sure most of you have heard that aloe vera is an amazing plant. A lot of people actually recommend drinking Aloe Juice for internal health benefits. Probably the most common use that registers when most people think of Aloe Vera is a remedy for painful sunburns. I …

Sassy and sweet 🙂
