OPI GelColor Pastels–Gargantuan Green Grape

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 Kiss Me I’m Brazilian GelColor Review

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, …

Happy Spring!

My Favorite Weather is Bird Chirping Weather

all the reasons I love spring!

I love pastel and gold so I combined them on my nails…and I love them combined…perfect for the perfect spring weather we are having!

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.

I have been using Axxium by OPI hard gel as the base for my mani’s and I really love it. I have used a lot …

Nautical Chic Nails

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 …

$3 Gel Brush Set Review

An Amazing Gel/Acrylic/Nail Art Brush Set For Under $3!

These brushes are from my Shop and I cannot believe how amazing they are! What’s even better is they are only $2.37 for all three! I was curious to find out if an “el cheapo” brush set could compare to the more expensive brushes I have used in the past. I am happy to report in this case the cheaper product is better!

For $2.37 + free shipping you get all 3 brushes!

The Good Deets

I originally ordered them for creating 3D …

OPI GelColor Review–You’re Such A Budapest

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 …

Baby Boy Nursery Nails

Turquoise, Gray, and White Baby Boy Nails

I felt inspired to do a fun little mani for my bump today. I’m calling them Nursery Nails because I think this would be the cutest color scheme for a baby boy nursery. I’m not really doing a “nursery” because our house is only two bedrooms so my boys will be sharing a room (if we can get our “man baby” 7 year old out of our bed sometime soon!) If I were to do a room in this scheme, I think I would …

The Waves Of The Sea…

…help me get back to me.

I did this mani pretty quickly yesterday. I just filed off my Imagine Dragons mani and redid the ring and middle finger. Easy Peasy. The more I look at it, the more I realize this mani would look amazing in the sand…on a beach…with waves and water and sunshine.

I am loving this color scheme 🙂

My sisters booked a beach camping trip in August for San Clemente Beach. We might try to make it with them but it might be kind of tricky taking …

Live.Love.Carnaval Spring Nail Art with tutorial

I saw this idea on BioSculpture’s Facebook page and loved it! Luckily, my friend Tennille was game with letting me try it out on her yesterday!

We used OPI GelColor Live.Love.Caranaval which is so fabulous! It’s not quite as bright and fluorescent looking in real life. Kind of in between Cajun Shrimp and My Chihuahua Bites. I absolutely LOVE it though! It applies perfectly too–I did three coats on Tennille which is what I usually do with all my gel polishes so I was totally happy with the results.
