Sooooo, what had happened was…..  Look let me give it to you straight!  A few nails broke last week and I just said eff it and cut them all down so I wouldn’t look like I got into a fight with a garden tool and lost.  I figured this would be the perfect time to share some of my instagram nail crushes!  This week I want to feature Traci of DRINKCITRA.

Back in the Fall of 2011 after I did my Big Chop I got more involved with wearing accessories and painting my fingernails.  One of the first Instagram nail crushes came when I discovered Traci’s profile page!  Her nails were beautiful and she always answered when followers had questions about products or techniques.  I still to this day can not do a half decent gradient, but I can’t say Traci didn’t try her hardest to help me out…LOL!  I love how she can take such a simple idea and just make it work.  Her nail art is also something that I can recreate since I am by no means an artist.  Check out some of her awesome work!

Hey Hey Hey it’s MANICure Monday and today I’m bringing you a Robin’s Egg with mint & glittah baby!!!  Thank you sweet baby Jesus the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the temperature is above freezing!  It finally feels like Spring and I thought it would be so cute to bring a little of that to Coily Locks.

For this week’s mani I used Finger Paints in “Tiffany Imposter”, e.l.f.  in “Gold Star” and Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dry Anti Chip Top Coat.  I’ve been obsessed  loving the color mint lately and this was the closet that I had in my arsenal of polishes.  I refuse to by any more polish until I have actually used what I already own at least once.
