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! …

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 …

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 …

The cutest summer neon nails! Plus my first time using OPI Gelcolor Matte Topcoat!

Gelish Neon’s All About The Glow

Make You Blink Pink, I’m Brighter Than You, Sometimes a Girls Gotta Glow

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 …

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 …

This is for Nancy, an amazing, generous, kind lady…

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. I am still going to review this on Day 7 so it’s possible you might be sick of hearing about my Vinylux mani by next week! 🙂 I really hope I am chip free …
