I’m doing the Californails Nail Art Challenge for November and just thought I’d share my gallery so far! 🙂
Day 1 was Movember and I missed it 🙁
Day 2 was Fox Nails which I had a lot of fun with and want to do again!
Day 3 was Nature Nails and I just left my nails natural partly due to laziness and partly to show everyone how well they are doing thru my pregnancy 🙂
Day 4 was Black and White and I got Tons of compliments on them!
Day 5 was …
I don’t know why I say dry “winter” skin…lately my skin has been dry YEAR ROUND! It’s mostly just in two spots too…the tops of my hands and my shins…so weird.
Actually the tops of my hands is understandeable. I fill my sink with the hottest water and dish soap and bleach every morning…and although my kitchen gloves are hanging RIGHT by the sink, do I put them on? Hardly ever…why do we do that?!? When I was working in the salon full time almost every single one of my clients …
Well the cats out of the bag now that Tennille and everyone at the salon knows so I guess I can tell the whole world now….that’s right…I’m pregnant! :-))))
My due date is around May 22 give or take…a week or two 🙂 I’m roughly three months along right now and this pregnancy is so different from my last. Or maybe it’s been so long (7.5 years!) that I just don’t remember.
One thing that’s similar this time though is my heightened sense of paranoia. I worry about EVERYTHING! Things like the …
Just wanted to share these cute nails!
These are Jessica’s Gelish mani–we used Gelish Forbidden Love, Need A Tan, and Jetset with Youngnails Mani-Q Green 101. This color combo inspired me to do my own….
I used my favorite maroon polish Essie Skirting The Issue and China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle. The gold studs are from Sally Beauty. I can’t stop staring at my nails…I think maroon/dark red is my favorite nail color of all time! 🙂
Thanks for reading! I have some interesting thoughts going through my head for tomorrow’s post! …
Here is a great link on Amazon to buy the polishes for around $6.00 each 🙂
I am so excited for the holidays and thought I would share OPI’s Mariah Holiday 2013 Collection with you to help get you in the spirit!
I love the rich, bold colors and will try to get some swatches out as soon as I can get my hands on these polishes 🙂
I am doing the Nail Art November Challenge on Instagram and the maroon colors would be perfect for day 7…I’m going to make a trip …
Happy Monday!
It was Tennille’s turn to get her nails done today 🙂 I hope she’s not getting sick of Lincoln Park cause we’ve used it the last three times….
I love how LPAD applies in GelColor. I flooded a couple nails today and it was taking me forever to get it off the cuticles but usually it goes on flawlessly!
I did three coats of color then wiped off the sticky layer with alcohol and hand painted the gold designs with Essie Good As Gold. These would be super cute with …
My buddy is going on a sisters trip to New York City this weekend and I gotta admit I was really nervous about getting her nails just right! The Big Apple is a Big Deal! 🙂
I love what we came up with though…simple and chic…
We used CND Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel to add strength and then topped it off with 3-4 coats of Gelish Plum and Done. I hand painted the silver chevron stripes with CND Shellac Silver Chrome. I think it would have been super cute to do gray …
I love finding new amazing apps! I found Rhonna’s app because it was a top recommended app through Apple. It is wonderful for designing uber cute “stuff” for your blog. It’s also great for editing pictures! She makes everything ultra customizeable and offers TONS of adorable graphics and fonts!
Here is a link to her website 🙂
If you follow Rhonna on Instagram @rhonnafarrer she offers great editing and tutorial advice…there is so much available to do with the app a few tutorials are a good idea!
I love that she lives …
I love how these turned out for my gorgeous buddy Tennille! She wanted a Halloween look but not necessarily too “Halloweeny” 🙂
I used all OPI Gelcolors. The ring fingers are Alpine Snow and I did the skulls with a fine tip Sharpie. I think next time I might use black gelpolish or black polish with a fine striper brush.
The ombré nails are Suzi and the Seven Dusseldorfs with Lincoln Park After Dark on top. It was super easy to do too! I just did two coats of the …
My friend and client Jessica went to Las Vegas last weekend and needed some fun nails to accompany her! I love the results…and I thought it was fitting they were inspired by the awesome nail salon Polished Nails Las Vegas.

Here are the nails that we came up with–we used gel polish from Gelish and OPI. I hand painted the stripes and dots and used a metallic silver Sharpie as well for accent. I used silver studs on the pinkie and index fingers …
