Happy President’s Day!
We had a great day today! The weather is absolutely gorgeous here in Southern Utah. I think it was around 61 degrees. Amazing!
My sister and I took the kids up to …
Essie Mint Candy Apple nail polish
Here is a picture of Essie Mint Candy Apple on my stubby little nails…..I really love this color! I was hoping it would be a minty green but it’s more a Robin Egg Blue shade. I think Essie Turquoise and Caicos might be the minty green shade I am searching for. I want to paint my lovely friend Ashley’s nails with T&C to show you how pretty it is….she has gorgeous nails! Anyway, I do love Mint Candy Apple by Essie and you can buy it here on Amazon:

Mirabella Skin Tint Creme Foundation Review
I have been searching for a fabulous foundation for years. I’ve heard stories of Mirabellas liquid foundation but for some reason would never buy it….until today. And I think I’ve found The One. The one I’ve been looking for. This foundation is amazing! I tried on three different shades in the store and finally settled on III W (3 W) which I was worried was going to be too dark. But turns out it is perfect for my skin tone and my skin has NEVER looked better! I can’t quit …
My Favorite Quick Dry Topcoat–Seche Vite–The Very Best In My Opinion….
I’ve tried tons of top coats. Some quick dry, some not so quick. I do really like CND’s quick dry topcoat and Out The Door top coat, but my very favorite by far, so far, has been Seche Vite. Not only does it dry your polish VERY QUICK, I mean like, lightening fast, it also holds up longer than any other top coat I have tried so far. I can usually polish my own nails and be ready to use them after a few minutes. With glitter polish, it’s even …
Pantone Fashion Color Report for 2013!
I love hearing predictions on color and fashion trends and The Pantone Color Institute is the premier source for these predictions!
Here is a link to the Pantone site for the full report
I don’t think it’s hard to know that mint/Tiffany Blue is THE trendiest color of the moment right now. My favorite nail polish color to reflect this trend is Essie Mint Candy Apple and Turquoise and Caicos as well as China Glaze For Aubrey and Re-Fresh Mint. All of these colors are fabulous greenish blues that look great on …
Nail art pictures!
Here are some pics from today!
They are all done with soak off gel polish—my preferred medium when working with nail art. It’s very forgiving! I used gel polish to do the heart and the roses. You just kind of blot a dark color on first, then add a darker color as highlights for the petals. Very easy! The pink is Pink Flamenco by OPI and the white is Alpine Snow…my favorite white for gel polish because it doesn’t wrinkle. I am loving the floral nail art trend. Kaitlin Ferland on …
More Valentine’s Day Nail Art!
I love doing nails in February! I think Pink is probably my favorite color of nail polish and I have been using a lot of pink lately! Plus, it’s just nice always creating nails about love! 🙂 I have seen some hilarious Valentine’s Day nails on Instagram that have a little bit different take on love, as you can see below….the anti Valentine’s Day nails. The nail artist’s username on Instagram is missconde and she does amazing work. These nails were actually inspired by another …
My first trip to Ulta!
I had the magical opportunity of visiting the new Ulta store in St. George today. I should have been home cleaning and showering but I thought, “I’m just going to stop in real quick to try the new Benefit mascara my sister was telling me about….”
I should have known better right????
It really did end up being a fairly short trip. I was still in my sweaty Crossfit clothes, no makeup, dirty hair….not a great look for the local beauty store. I am not mad, but none of the nice girls …
Busy day yesterday doing what I love to do!
I worked hard yesterday! And had fun doing it! It’s always a good day when I don’t get behind more than ten minutes….it turned out to be a great day! It didn’t hurt to look out the window and see a beautiful sun shiney day either! I am soooooo ready for spring!
Here are a few pics from my day….
These are sculpted gel with a hot pink gel polish layered with a sparkly red. I hand painted the hearts with acrylic paints….
