Aztec Fall

by . Posted on
27 Sep

I have been wanting to do some Aztec nails for a while and luckily my friend Jess was down with the idea when she came over for her nail appointment yesterday! I love how they turned out! I think this is a great look for transitioning into fall…we incorporated mint, grey, and coral…one of my favorite color schemes.

I know I say this every time…but I think these are my favorite nails I’ve ever done! It’s Jess’ birthday this weekend and she’s running the St. George Marathon next weekend so these …

Industrial Vintage Glam!

Two of my favorite bloggers teamed up and the result was so amazing I decided to recreate a very small “rendition” of it on my nails 🙂 I absolutely am obsessed with home decor and I actually get a lot of my nail ideas from decorating color schemes and finishes…I think it’s important to find inspiration from all aspects of life in everything that we do!

Mandi from Vintage Revivals did a total room makeover for Cara from Maskcara. Not just any room either…Cara’s makeup room/office where she films her videos …

Fun Rodeo Nails! Before and after :)

My friend Kendra is headed up to Pendelton, Oregon for the world’s largest party…I mean rodeo! I’m so excited for her! She is going with her dad which I think is so awesome 🙂 She texted me and wanted some cute nails for the rodeo…I think we came up with a great combo for the big weekend!

I hope Kendra doesn’t mind me showing everyone this…but she’s a little bit of a nail biter…so we sculpt out her nail beds with acrylic for length. I then do the colors with gel …

SunValleyTek sent me this UV light to try out and review and I can honestly report for the money it’s a great light and I would highly recommend it! They shipped it extremely quickly, Flynn was very nice to work with, and the light is actually really great quality! I’ve bought two other lights on Amazon in the past that were cheaply made and did not hold up but I can tell this light is going to hold up great. And it’s priced under $40 on Amazon!

I signed up for a fun little Crossfit competition tonight…and I’m a nervous wreck!!! I didn’t do the Crossfit Open this year because it scares the sh$% out of me and I can’t think straight for six weeks. The only consolation I have about this competition is it’s only two days…it’s only two days…it’s only two days. I can do this…I can do this…I can do this…

I know I’m not the only competitor who gets nervous so what’s the big deal right?????

Here’s a link to the sponsors to the competition…you …

Mani Monday–Crossfit Nails for a Crossfit Rockstar!

by . Posted on

This is my friend Connie…isn’t she cute 🙂

I like to call her Crossfit Connie 🙂

I’ve known Connie for about three years now. She was one of the original’s at Crossfit Dixie. I was totally intimidated and scared of her when I first started working out down there because she is sooooo bada$& but after hundreds of wod’s together I now know Connie is one of the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever met. And there’s nothing to be afraid of…but she is still totally bad-A! :)))) …

There are so many more important things going on in the world right now but I thought I’d share a little bit of fun for the weekend…

As many of you way have been aware, the VMA’s were last Sunday…I didn’t watch them entirely…I’ve seen bits and pieces of a few performances…my favorite one by far was Justin Timberlake’s AMAZING performance. I loved everything about it. He is so talented and all his backup dancers were amazing as well. Here’s the video in case you missed it:

Recycled Mani!

by . Posted on

I bet you’re wondering what the heck a recycled mani is…well when I did my Ikat Mani

I did the nail art over my existing gel polish mani with Striperite polish, which worked perfectly. Honestly, I am ready for a new set of nails after a few days…I think a week is the longest I’ve gone with the same color on my nails…and it was this mani here as a matter of fact 🙂 I just realized how dry my skin looks in that picture…obviously I haven’t been wearing my cleaning …

Mani Monday–Ikat Gelpolish Mani with Cassidee from Sew Much Baby

by . Posted on

I had the pleasure of doing Cassidee Edmunds nails recently and loved getting to know her better! She is the most talented, sweetest girl–check out her website–it’s loaded with tons of adorable baby and mommy headbands, carseat canopies, and other absolutely darling baby accessories. All of it handmade by Cassidee!

I was racking my brain, as usual, trying to decide what theme I wanted to go with on Cassidee’s nails and finally realized that I’ve never done an Ikat mani. Which was perfect because I am in LOVE …

Here’s the second part in my Essie Fall 2013 swatch review 🙂 I saved the best for last!

Essie Cashmere Bathrobe

Cashmere Bathrobe is an absolutely wonderful gray polish that I am in love with! It’s a stormy charcoal gray with the most subtle red sparkle. Imagine yourself wrapped in a soft gray cashmere robe sitting by a crackling fireplace on a crisp autumn night…that’s the best way I can describe this polish! 🙂

On a side note, this would be the perfect polish for Gelish JetSet gel polish if you are …
