Even nail biters can have pretty nails!

This is a common question/problem I see a lot on nail forums…what do I do with a nail biter? My poor friend Kendra is always my model for this problem but I just want her to know I was once a biter and I don’t judge. 🙂

I usually do acrylic on Kendra mainly because I don’t trust gel with length and we usually do a longer nail on Kendra. But I told her acrylic fumes are no bueno right now with my pregnancy so she said, “Just make my nails …

OPI GelColor Pastel Need Sunglasses

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 …

Happy Spring!

My Favorite Weather is Bird Chirping Weather

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 …

The Sense of Smell

The Amazing Sense of Smell

In my past life, I was a store manager at Bath and Body Works. It was probably the longest year of my life and one of the most difficult jobs I’ve ever done but I learned so much and don’t regret doing it. All in all it was a good experience and it paid the bills during the months after my husband and I left our restaurant business at The Fairway Grill. You can read that whole story HERE.

One thing I learned at Bath and Body …

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.

Imagine Dragons Nails

Imagine Dragons.Nevada.OPI.

This is a little random and I really wish I had a great reason such as an upcoming concert visit or something really exciting for doing these nails…but no…I just felt inspiration because I love Imagine Dragons and I love Nevada and I love this yellow gel polish by OPI called I Just Can’t Cope-a-Cabana.

Last summer whenever “It’s Time” would come on the radio my little boy would get super excited (he was 6) and say “Turn it up Mom!” and then we’d start …

OPI Live.Love.Carnaval–the perfect coral polish!

I think I’ve found my new favorite polish. How do I know? Because I can’t stop staring at my nails! I am in love with this shade! It’s from the new OPI Brazil Collection which is OPI’s Spring 2014 Collection. It’s a bright, fun, flashy coral that will transition perfectly for summer. I can’t wait to use it for my next pedi! Of course it’ll look adorable on toes as well! I love the way it goes with my skin tone too. I have a yellowish tinged skin tone and …

Red Hot Sultry Nails!

Love notes, kisses, and gold glittery hearts = super sexy and sultry!

I bought these adorable nail tattoos last summer and haven’t used them much. I threw away the directions right away on accident and applied them wrong so I was afraid. But then Fingrs posted a tutorial on how to apply them the correct way and my life is whole again. I tried to find them to buy online and it’s nearly impossible. Here’s a link to see all the patterns in the package and then it looks like Walmart …
