More Wine...Less Whine!
ppy Monday! A few weeks ago I came across some really cute nail art while searching for Christmas ideas. I found a ton of designs that I would need a Master’s Degree in Fine Art to try to do! I stumbled across one that was called Christmas Sweat Nail Art. I thought to myself, now THIS is something that I could actually do. Well it didn’t come out quite as planned hence the name Ugly Christmas Sweater Nail Art! LOL So here is the end result.
Happy Monday! This past weekend I put on one of my Origami Owl parties for a good friend. Origami Owl is a fun way to build your own locket that can be changed out as often as you like. Every locket is unique and tells YOUR story. So what better way to get ready for the party than to do a little nail art to show just how much I love being a Designer Consultant for Origami Owl. I initially did all of my nails with base coat Essie in Miss Fancy Pants. But after day one about 3 of the nails chipped…ugh! But the nails with the art on them were still in great condition so I decided to go with something bolder for the other nails! I used China Glaze. I’ve gotten so many compliments with that color!
Happy Tuesday! So…I was prepared to show off my awesome nail color yesterday for MANICure Monday and just as I got ready to upload my pics my darn memory card reader went M.I.A. I gave up looking for it yesterday and finally remembered where I had a spare one stashed! And like they say, better late than never!
A few weeks ago while getting my “pin on” on Pinterest I stumbled across this beautiful holographic polish from Color Club called Harp on it. I was immediately mesmerized and spent the next few hours trying to track it down so I could purchase it. I found it on Color Club’s site but it was $10 plus $5 shipping and I thought that was just ridiculous! So I went to my next favorite shopping place…AMAZON! Not only did I find the color but I found a million and one other holo polishes. I quickly caught my breath and told myself that I could only buy one and that I would treat myself to more after I tried this one out first. I purchased my polish for $7.63 with free shipping and got it about 4 days later.
So now that everyone across the country has officially started school, that means Fall is almost here…yeah!!! I love Fall and Winter the most because my allergies love them so much…LOL Seriously it’s one of my favorite times of year and the weather is always perfect for outdoor activities. So this week I decided to create something to ring in the upcoming season. I’m calling it “The leaves are falling, the leaves are falling”. 😉
I used Essie’s Miss Fancy Pants as my base coast and then painted Claire’s Sugar Cookie (from last year’s holiday collection) on the tips to represent falling leaves. And then I used a black sharpie to draw my tree and viola!
