What do you think of Liquid Sand or Textured Polishes?

I’ve never been to San Francisco but when I do go I think this outfit would be super cute!

Bioseaweed Gel Unity All In One Gel Polish

I was so excited when I got the chance to review this product. I’ve been super curious about it because the company, Bioseaweed Gel, promises it’s unlike any other gel polish on the market. I’ve tried so many brands now and can tell the subtle differences between all the brands, as I’ve mentioned in past reviews. Bioseaweed Gel Unity All In One is different because you don’t have to use a base or top coat, which I was super skeptical about, and the color coats dry hard, not tacky. Also, …

Funky neon rose nailart

Check out these cute, fun nails! I originally did them on my friend Tennille with Gelish gel polish and then decided to recreate them on myself with regular polish. Here is Tennilles version:

I used Make You Blink Pink by Gelish and then an assortment of bright gel polish colors for the flowers. You have to do a white base under the flowers in order to get them to really pop and stand out! 🙂

Here is my version with regular polish:

I used China Glaze Flip Flop
Fantasy for the base and then …

Flag Day Inspired Nailart With Easy Tutorial

I love when I wake up in the morning and find that there have been U.S.A. Flags placed up and down our streets! See how pretty they look!

There are perks to being on Main Street! I usually have two flags in front of my house but I think a new person placed them this morning and accidentally did two at my neighbors–I’ll forgive them :)I also added some cute red, white and blue ribbons to my porch that I can leave up till after July 24th for Pioneer …

The Best Yellow Nail Polish Hands Down!

Bicycle Yellow by Creative Nail Design–the best yellow nail polish!

I have been searching for a great yellow nail polish for quite some time. I love OPI Need Sunglasses and the It Color but they just didn’t quite measure up to the perfect shade of yellow in my opinion. When I saw that Creative Nail Design (CND) was releasing a yellow in the new Vinylux collection I was super excited to try it. And as you can see, it’s gorgeous! It’s a creamy, slightly shimmery yellow that was almost opaque in …

Hilarious Ellen DeGeneres Nail Polish/Late Night Movie Video!

Who doesn’t love Ellen?!? On one of her recent shows, she did a game where they had titles to Late Night Cinemax Movies and Nail Polishes, and the audience had to decide if the title was a movie or a polish…so funny!

Here’s a pic of my latest mani–Lobster Roll by CND

I love this color! It reminds me a lot of Cajun Shrimp by OPI. A gorgeous red coral. I paired it with a Dashing Diva Design FX Strides and Stripes wrap on my ring finger and did a simple dot …

Vertigo Nails! Dashing Diva Chevron Nail Wraps, CND Vinylux Pink Bikini, Black Square Studs

Vertigo Nails

I have been laid up all week with vertigo and let me tell ya it is noooo fun. I haven’t been able to workout since Monday which totally stinks for me because I hardly ever go a day without getting some sort of Crossfit workout in. My sister Mandy and I have been training for a half marathon as well, so I’m worried this is going to possibly put a stop to my training. I’ve always thought how awful it would be to get injured and not …

Does Vinylux by CND really last for 7 Days?

Yesterday marked the end of my 7 day Vinylux Challenge. I must admit, I love this new polish!!! CND claims it will last 7 days chip free and although I did not see those results I was extremely pleased that mine lasted five days chip free! In Vinylux’s defense, I am ULTRA hard on my nails! I usually can only get about 9-10 days out of gel polish.

My ring finger corners chipped off at day 3 but it was on the verge of breaking before I applied Vinylux. I wore …
