The Best Yellow Nail Polish Hands Down!

Bicycle Yellow by Creative Nail Design–the best yellow nail polish!

I have been searching for a great yellow nail polish for quite some time. I love OPI Need Sunglasses and the It Color but they just didn’t quite measure up to the perfect shade of yellow in my opinion. When I saw that Creative Nail Design (CND) was releasing a yellow in the new Vinylux collection I was super excited to try it. And as you can see, it’s gorgeous! It’s a creamy, slightly shimmery yellow that was almost opaque in …

Neon peach and turquoise summer nail art!

Gelish I’m Brighter Than You–Neon Peach Gel Polish is amazing!

I just wanted to share these adorable nails with the world!

We used Gelish I’m Brighter Than You which is a neon peach and hard to capture on photo. I then did OPI GelColor Alpine Snow on her ring finger with Young Nails Mani Q Green 101 for the chevron stripes.

When I do the chevron stripes I freehand them and do thin coats until I reach the desired effect, usually in about 3-4 coats. I use a thin striping brush …

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 …

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 …

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 …
