Acrygel – I’ve been doing gel polish for quite a long time now and it’s probably my favorite product ever. That doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated with it at times. I wish it would really truly hold up to it’s claim of even just a two week mani but most people are lucky to get 10-12 days of good solid wear unless they have natural nails of steel. Would you agree?
Soooo I came across this method what people call “Acrygel”. I feel like the last person to have …
Pastel Nails For Spring and Easter
I am in love with this color! It’s the perfect creamy yellow gel polish for a spring or Easter mani and will transition well into summer as well. I applied three coats in these pictures.
Feathers and flowers!
This color has been a love/hate relationship for me, as have all the Pastel GelColor’s I have used so far. They don’t want to cure right for me. If you are having this same problem with your Pastel GelColor’s, what has worked for me is to do …
Mint Gel Polish Review
I’ve been on the hunt for a great mint gel polish for a very long time. Gelish Mint of Spring is pretty and I use it a ton but I feel like it’s more of a turquoise than a mint color. I think the closest Gelish match would be Seafoam. Below are Mint of Spring, Seafoam, and Gargantuan Green Grape. I can’t believe how blue the Gelish mints look next to Gargantuan Green Grape.
OPI Gargantuan Green Grape, Gelish Mint of Spring, Gelish Seafoam
I really wanted …
The Perfect Spring Pink GelPolish!
I stopped in Salon Centric a couple mornings ago to pick up a bottle of Essie Good As Gold. That was all I needed. But of course I had to check out the entire nail aisle while I was there. And of course I walked out of there with six new GelColor shades. However, I did get two free top coats as well!
Pretty much every store I go in! :((((
I can’t wait to swatch all my new colors—I bought three pastels, a new red, …
My Favorite Weather is Bird Chirping Weather

Colors used are Gelish Need a Tan, OPI You’re Such a Budabest, OPI Bubble Bath, Gelish Seafoam, Gelish Golden Treasure, and Essie Good As Gold for the stamp.

Keep Calm and Cruise
In the past month I have done nails heading to some amazing places! I am so jealous! But so happy my friends are seeing the world!
My beautiful friend April is going on a Mexican Riviera Cruise this weekend and needed appropriate nails for her adventure. Everyone say a prayer her ship won’t sink–she’s kinda nervous. 🙂
April is probably one of THE most fashionable people I know so I always look forward to seeing what she’s craving for her fingertips.
She was leaning towards a nautical themed nail …
OPI GelColor Reviews
I’ve been seeing a lot of people online asking about reviews for OPI GelColor so I thought I would start posting and see what kind of feedback I get. I have a ton of posts with OPI GelColor in them so I will add all of those to the GelColor Category as well.
You’re Such A Budapest Review
I have been wanting a good lavender gel polish for a while now. You’re Such A Budapest was released last year as a special release during the Spring 2013 collection release. It …
A Few Thoughts on Evolution, Adapting, Traveling, and Nails
My friend Jessica, who is also my lash girl and I’m her nail girl, is going on the trip of a lifetime this week to the Galapagos Islands. Not only is she going to the Galapagos, she is going with National Geographic.
If one ever gets the chance to go to the Galapagos, one should go with National Geographic. 🙂
I tried to talk her into the whole turtle/wildlife mani motif…but being the uber stylish hip girl that she is, she opted for a …

Thanks to Chickettes for informing me of this amazing news! You can read her review HERE.
I am so excited about China Glaze offering a gel polish because they have some of my favorite nail polish colors. For Audrey, Pink Voltage, Re-Fresh Mint, Flying Dragon…just to name a few. I’ll admit though, China Glaze doesn’t seem to hold up as well as OPI or Essie. That’s why their gel polish is such great news because it will be durable …
With all the crazy nail art ideas out there these days I don’t get a lot of chances to do a French manicure anymore. It’s still one of my favorite looks though. It’s just so classic and simple and it goes with every outfit. And the regrowth is wonderful…you can usually go quite a while with a French mani before it starts to be noticeable around the cuticle growth area. AND there are a lot of variations on the French mani if you are craving a little excitement. 🙂
Here are …
