My Swimsuit Wish List–And The Perfect Polish To Go With The Perfect Swimsuit!

Swimsuit season is upon us here in sunny southern Utah. I’ve always loved summer time, but in years past, I would dread any occasion where a swimsuit would be the appropriate dress code. Which happens a lot for my family because our in-laws have an amazing pool and backyard and my little boy loves spending time at the Washington Rec Center.

Westin’s favorite place in the world–the Washington Rec Center

I’ve been asking myself a lot lately why this swimsuit season is so different than others and I think there …

Tabeso nails!

These were a labor of love. The ring finger took me a good half hour 🙂 but anything for Tabeso 🙂

I am doing a nailart challenge on Instagram and the challenge today was match your nails to your outfit. I wore my Tabeso shirt for my sons Relay For Life walkathon at his school and realized it was about time I did some Tabeso nails! The Walkathon was fun even though my son ditched me. That’s ok, he had fun running with his classmates while I walked and enjoyed the …

How to do feather nail art with a Metallic Sharpie!

I did another fun feather nail art manicure today for an Instagram contest and love the results! The Instagram contest was a Gold Theme, so after much thought and consideration, I opted for a feather mani because I just LOVE feathers and I love gold! 🙂

I bought the metallic Sharpie’s at Walmart a few weeks ago and really haven’t used them much, but this feather mani is the perfect opportunity to use them. The lines look sharp and severe at first, but when you go over them with the …

OPI Oz Collection–When Monkey’s Fly, I Theodora You, Glints of Glinda–with hand painted stripes and Art Club studs over Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel

Oz Collection by OPI Nail Art

My beautiful sister Mandy stopped by yesterday for a real life official nail appointment. This is an amazing accomplishment for us because we constantly make nail appointments for her that we never keep due to kids schedules or random life interferences. We painted her nails last week and they actually lasted fairly well though, all thanks to the wonderful product Seche Vite!

After she had removed her own polish because I didn’t want to mess up my new navy and mustard yellow mani 🙂 …

Blue, Yellow, & White with Chevron and Studs–Suzi Says Feng Shui, The It Color, Alpine Snow

Blue, yellow, & white with Chevron and studs

I used OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui on my pinky and pointer fingers, OPI The It Color on my middle finger, OPI Alpine Snow on my ring finger, and China Glaze Angel Wings on my Thumb. I placed Art Club Nail Art White Gems in a chevron pattern over The It Color and hand painted the yellow chevron stripes with a Color Club Yellow Striper. The yellow chevron was not very difficult I think because yellow over white is very forgiving. …
