Spring Chick Nail Art

March 17, 2016 by Alisha 15 Comments

A little Spring Chick nail art to celebrate that Easter is just around the corner!

I was inspired by the nice warm weather to paint something Springy. And of course I found this idea on Pinterest. I love the yellow, white polka dots and little baby chick. It’s the perfect mix for Easter and Spring!

The brand was NK nail enamel that I picked up at my local beauty supply store for about $1. I was so happy when I finally found a yellow polish that was opaque enough that I wouldn’t have to use a white polish as the base coat. And the best part was the price! I think beauty supply stores actually have some of the best colors around and it’s always fun to find a new brand that you might not find otherwise.

MANICure Monday | Are You Ready for Some Football?!?!

August 25, 2014 by Alisha 12 Comments

Wait…did I just seriously ask “Are you ready for some football?” Clearly I’m delusional and what I meant to say “Are you ready for some football nailart” Phew that’s much better!

This time of year I become a football widow. I’ve tried over the years to learn more about the sport and get into all the drama, suspense and thrill of the game. But alas, my only love for football will be with me painting a football on my nail! LOL

My New Love: Color Club Holographic Nail Polish

September 24, 2013 by Alisha 8 Comments

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.

MANICure Monday | It’s Almost Fall!

September 9, 2013 by Alisha 10 Comments

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!
