Santa’s Coat Nail Art

December 17, 2012 by Alisha 22 Comments

Happy Monday!!! It’s another installment of MANICure Monday! This week I found a really cute Christmas design while on YouTube. All of the ones I’ve been finding on Pinterest lately seem to be out of my league lately…LOL Since I’m still on a “no-buy” of polish until after Christmas, I hit up my mom’s stash. For my base coat I used LA Colors polish in “berry red”. I love the color but even after 3 coats it was still a bit transparent. *sigh*

Berry Red is the middle color

Since my ring finger broke last week I decided to use my pointer finger to recreate Santa’s coat. I painted a white stripe down the middle then the tips. I took a fine brush to create the “belt” with black and then a black square was added for the belt buckle. I wanted to use silver but forgot to add it and had to improvise with a black sharpie (don’t judge me…LOL). Hope you all enjoy today’s mani! [Read more…]

Feature Friday: Tia with The Chic Stay at Home Mom Blog

December 14, 2012 by Alisha 4 Comments

Hello there! I’m Tia from the blog The Chic Stay at Home Mom! I am so excited to be sharing some of my natural hair favorite things with you all. There’s still some time left to get the curly girl on your shopping list everything she needs to make sure her hair is banging for the New Year. I have been natural for almost three years and I have learned a lot during that time. After trying lots of different products I have been able to narrow my favorites down. These are a few of my Favorite Things for Natural Hair.

Co-Wash Conditioner

The TRESemme Naturals Conditioner is my favorite for co-washing. It smells great and it’s light-weight and silicone free. I also really love that you get a lot of product for your dollar. I don’t wear wash and goes as often as I use to but when I do I reach for this!

Christmas Nail Art

December 10, 2012 by Alisha 14 Comments

Hey hey hey!!! It’s another installment of MANICure Monday! Each week during the month of December I’m hoping to recreate something fun from my PINTEREST nail art board. I have been having so much fun with nail art in the last few months and I think I may actually be getting a bit better. Keyword being a “bit”… LOL. Hope you all enjoy my recreation of a Christmas Tree and a Snowman. I used various colors to recreate the design and my base nail color is “Cinderella” by Sinful Colors.

Join in the fun by linking up with Mimi from Lipgloss and Binky and Lynn from LALynnsShoppe for their Manicure Monday!

Black Hair Media: Textured Beauty

Guess who was featured as Black Hair Media’s “Textured Beauty”??? *points to me*

Can I just tell you all how much I love sharing this wonderful re-discovery of my natural hair with you all. I hate to sound cliche and call it a “hair journey” but sometimes that’s exactly what it feels like. It’s been so much fun connecting with other curlies and sharing tips, styles and the love/hate relationship that we all have with shrinkage! LOL

Please take the time to check out the feature here and leave a comment to let me know what you think.
