Blue, yellow, & white with Chevron and studs
I used OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui on my pinky and pointer fingers, OPI The It Color on my middle finger, OPI Alpine Snow on my ring finger, and China Glaze Angel Wings on my Thumb. I placed Art Club Nail Art White Gems in a chevron pattern over The It Color and hand painted the yellow chevron stripes with a Color Club Yellow Striper. The yellow chevron was not very difficult I think because yellow over white is very forgiving. …
Step 1: DIY Brown Sugar and Honey Scrub
The first step of my DIY facial is my brown sugar and honey scrub. This is very easy to make–you simply mix brown sugar and honey together to create a sticky paste. I do my face scrub in the shower because it is messy and sticky and I like to use it on my arms and legs and chest and feet…pretty much anywhere that needs a good exfoliation! I did a previous post about this scrub–you can read about it here

These nails turned out super fun! We started with a Brisa Lite base coat and smoothing gel application followed by three color coats of Gelish Seafoam, Gelish Princess Tiara, and Gelish Candyland Yellow with Opi Alpine Snow on the ring and thumbs. The pinky and pointer finger have a coat of Gelish Champagne as well to add a vintage flair. I hand painted all the designs starting with the flowers. …
This is my sister Mandy probably 12 years ago when we were living together on Main Street…isn’t she a babe! 🙂
Mandy in my kitchen…one of our favorite places to hang out. Still a babe!
These cute nails belong to my big sister Mandy. She came over to my house yesterday to let our kids play and get their wiggles out and I talked her into letting me paint her nails. She has been wanting me to do either gel or acrylic sculpted tips to increase her length …

Vintage Grandma gets vintage spring nails by her modern vintage granddaughter
This is my cute Grandma Irene. She has been on this planet for 93 years now! I don’t get to spend a lot of time with her, partly because life is so busy for me and my little family and partly because she is a stubborn homebody who doesn’t like to make house calls. I don’t blame her, if I couldn’t move and think as quickly as everyone else around me I’m not too sure I would want …
I’ve been dying to use this new color from China Glaze’s Avant Garde Collection–a pretty lavender color called Tart-y For the Party.

Nein! Nein! Ok Fine! (Dark Grey) Layla Ceramic Effects CL25 (Silver Sparkle) OPI Suzi and the 7 Dusseldorfs …
I can’t wait to try my new Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel! I was supposed to do my sister Mandy’s nails tonight but she passed up her chance for hot yoga….what gives???? 🙂
I’m really excited about the Brisa Lite system and am really crossing my fingers that it’ll perform as described. It claims that your gel polish will hold up for three weeks with the the new system. And the removal is supposed to be fairly easy.
So for professionals—you will use the new Brisa Lite base coat, cure, then the smoothing …
I totally forgot to post a pic of these cute nails I did for my awesome, gorgeous, fun friend Kendra!
Kendra’s Cancun Nails
Pink acrylic sculpted nails with Shellac Tropic and Mani-Q Green 101 with Gold Studs
I love how they turned out! I do a light pink acrylic sculpt with Kendra because she is a nail biter (I was once a biter too!) and then I finish the design with gel polish. Kendra wanted coral and turquoise nails to match her bikinis she is taking with her to Cancun, …
