Rrrr Wild Wednesday

Hey everyone!! I hope everyone is having a good middle of the week and of coarse Happy Pink Wednesday!  I decided to just a hint of pink today. I had already picked my outfit out for day and I thought gray nails would match perfectly, but of coarse it is Pink Wednesday so I had to add a little pink. So I came up with gray and pink leopard nails! I actually love the color combination!

Purple Poppies

Are you ready for Spring? I thought I'd do my nails with a nice Spring colored purple with white and pink dotted flowers. Even though there is snow on the ground, my mind is on Spring. I'm ready for green grass, warm sunny days, and flower buds. What do you like about Spring?

Pastel Poka Dot Mani

I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day. I'm almost sick of pink, almost. I kinda feel guilty saying that. I hope someone else feels like this, so I don't have that statement riding on my conscience. Anyways, I thought a light pink with gray poka dots would be perfect for Pink Wednesday. Don't get me wrong pink is my favorite color, it just may mean I have a new nail design in the works that doesn't include pink.

I used the polishes NYC - Sidewalkers & China Glaze - Innocence. I used three coats of the Innocence. It really is a lovely pink. It would also work great for doing french manicures. Let me know what you think of this mani. I hope you all have a wonderful chip, free day!!      Pin It

Valentine's Day Mani

Happy Valentine's Day! Thought I'd do one last Valentine's Day mani before the day is done. I decided to do outlined pink and red hearts. Let me know what you think.

I used China Glaze -White On White, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - All Fired Up & Essie - Mod Square.

Anyone get anything exciting from that special someone? Do a shout out, let me know about your partner. How did you meet, what is the most romantic thing they have every done for you, etc. 

Happy Valentine's Day!! 

Anti-Valentine's Day Nails

"All the Single Ladies... All the Single Ladies... Now Put Your Hands Up!" So tomorrow is Valentine's Day, this is either you favorite holiday or the most dreaded. Today's mani is dedicated to all my Single Ladies or those that absolutely despise Valentine's Day. It my Anti-Valentine's Day mani, with the broken heart in the middle. For those of you who don't have that special someone in your life right now, no worries I'm gonna tell you how to enjoy your Valentine's Day anyways.

I used the polishes OPI - Got The Blues For Red, China Glaze - Black Leather, NYC - Sidewalkers, & China Glaze - White On White. Let me know what you think of this mani.

Alright as promised, how to make your Valentine's Day a great day, no matter what. One way to celebrate the day, is by spending it with your best girl friends. Get all your single friends together, get all dolled up and hit the town, single style. Last year my girl friends and I went out to eat. Being single is not the only reason not to have a hot date. A couple of my friends had boyfriends that lived out of town and couldn't make it to visit, so we all went out for dinner and drinks. We spent the night ordering and sharing fun drinks. My favorite is Cotton Candy Martinis at Fridays. Try the Pink Punk Cosmo! If you have never had one before, this may be exactly what you need this Valentine's Day.

Can you say "yummy"?

Not receiving a present from a special someone this year. Don't worry, who really needs tons of chocolate, when your trying to stick to your New Years resolution or a giant stuffed animal. Do guys really ever even know what to get us anyways? Well no more being unhappy with silly, unthoughtful gifts. Join Beauty Box Swap. It's a site where you can swap new, or gently used beauty products. No more wishing for the right gift, get it the first time. Put out a list of what you want to get rid of and people will offer swaps. Some people even like to do mystery swaps. You can also take part in Secret Valentine which is where the page owner sends you somebody's address and you send them a box of girly goodies for Valentine's Day. Someone else gets your address and they send you a box too. Of coarse, everything is at your own risk.

Or you can just have a chill day. Put on some sweats and get comfy. Spend the day with friends, pamper yourself with a mani/pedi, hang out with your other bestie maybe your dog or kitty, or cuddle up on your couch and watch some funny movies. My top funny movies are Mean Girls,White Chicks &Superbad. What movie always brings you rolling to the floor with laughter?

.

Whatever you Anti-Valentine's Day ladies choose to do, don't be depressed! In the end Valentine's Day is just a day. You are special and cared about, and a dedicated day to that is not needed to prove it. So tell me what your plans are for tomorrow!

Be Mine

Another Pink Wednesday! In honor of the upcoming holiday, Valentine's Day, I decided to do a very girly pink nail with a touch of hearts. I chose this beautiful pink. It's the perfect medium pink, and super girly.

The polishes I used included Orly - Elsbeth's Rose and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - White On and Cherry Red. What do you all think? I hope you have a chip-free day!

First Pink Wednesday

My first Pink Wednesday on my new blog! yay! I decided to do glittery hot pink nails with black tips. The pink is an extremely hot pink (which I LOVE) and is perfect for summer. Although, as we know or at least where I live it's far from summer. We just got a few inches of snow yesterday. yuck! I think the black gives it a sophisticated look. I love black on nails. The black also helps make it look like a little less summery (even though I wish it was). Let me know what you think!

I used Sinful Colors 24/7 and a top coat of Pinky Glitter. The black is China Glaze Liquid Leather. All are must haves for all us black and pink lovers! Happy Pink Wednesday! I wish you all a chip-free day!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow on Your Nails?

I don't know about you all, but this winter has been one of the warmest I have seen in a long time. This meant no snow for Christmas. So I decided I was going to take matters into my own hands (well nails that is) and add some snow into my life. Yes I talking about snowflake decorated nails. What's better than snowflakes on your nails and green grass on your lawn.

For this design I used Essie - Sweet Talker. I love this pastel color. The picture doesn't show well, but it has a very pretty shine to it. I would highly recommend this color to give a pop of color to your nails anytime of the year.

For the snowflakes I used Sally Hansen - White On. This polish is relatively thicker than other polishes and this is why I love to use it for decorating. The thicker texture allows better control of my designs. I used a small nail brush (you could also use a toothpick) to make a * shape in various areas of my nail. I then followed with Sinful Colors - Tokyo Pearl and with a doting tool filled in other areas of my nail with small dots of snow.

Warning! The next three days after I did this design it has snowed in my area. If you attempt to do this design be prepared for the repercussions, SNOW! I forgot to knock on wood that we had been snow free for so long, oh well. Hello Blizzard!

Have a Happy Winter!
