Good-bye, Summer!

Hey!

First of all, I would like to say Hello to all my new followers! Thank you so much!

I truly appreciate you all!

Today I really wanted to do a fun post saying "good-bye, summer!"

Since today is the last official day of summer (in the USA), there is no better time!

While I imagine some of you may be heart-broken that the warmest, most carefree season is over (unless you live somewhere warm all the time!), I know there are some of you who love fall!

Just like me!

:)

So... I wanted to do my nails of things that remind me of summertime.

For this manicure I used real sand that I brought back from Punta Cana on my pinkie - inspired by the beautiful beaches there. I also added a little silver starfish!

On my ring finger I used real jean material that I cut into my nail shape - inspired by cutoff denim shortie-shorts.

Then I did a orange-yellow gradient inspired by the warm summer sky!

Then I did a glitter-y blue/green combo on my pointer finger - inspired by mermaids!

Don't judge me, they ARE real! :p

I will list all the polishes used at the bottom of the post.

 

 

The colors I used were: China Glaze For Audrey on the pinkie. China Glaze Lemon Fizz and Essie Meet Me At Sunset on my middle finger. Essie Dive Bar, OPI Fresh Frog of BelAir, and Sinful Colors Hottie on my pointer finger. My ring finger is just jean held on my a base coat underneath and a top coat.

 

Some questions for you guys!

1. Would you like to see pictures of the actual polish?

2. Where are you from? I'm really interested! I think other cultures are amazing!

 

Thank you soooo much for reading! I really appreciate that you take time out of your day to visit!

Disaster!

Hey guys!

Today I wanted to try what I called in my last post a "funky blue design".

Well, let's be honest... it didn't turn out they way I had imagined it.

I'm sure this dilemma has happened to all nail artists.

I was going for a futuristic design so I suppose I succeeded.

I used Essie: Mezmerised as a base color.

OPI: Gargantuan Green Grape for the bottom half of the design.

And Pure Ice: Silver Mercedes for the top half.

Then I topped that with Love My Nails: Milky Way.

 

 

I also, of course, am spending the evening catching up on my DVR'd Ellen Shows!

I can't even express how much I admire and respect Ellen!

I honestly believe she is one of the most inspiring women.

On top of that... she's HILARIOUS!

 

Plus.. she's the best dancer EVER! :p

 

 

And.. she shaves ugg boots into her dog. Sooo funny!

 

Okay, I hope the dog photo made you giggle as much as it did me.

So have a fantastic day!

As Ellen would say... "Be kind to one another"

Thanks for reading!
