Hello! Happy Wednesday!! I'm a little bit sad that I haven't participated in Pink Wednesday in a long time. Usually, school has kept me too busy. Especially with Wednesday exams, my poor nails have been neglected. Today I have another excuse for the lack of pink, because I had my Nursing School Senior group picture today. The dress code was a black shirt and dark jeans, thus the black mani. I have to ask you all this because I'm not sure if I'm a little OCD or whatever, but I HATE dark clothes with dark jeans!!! If I wear a black shirt I go towards lighter wash jeans and the opposite with a white shirt I then will pick darker jeans. To solve my issue I wore a white cami to break it up and give some contrast. Am I crazy or do you all feel the same way?! Comment below!
Here are the flats I wore with my all dark attire! These are one of my favorite flats. I purchased them in the fall from Charming Charlie. I absolutely LOVE that store, it's like an accessory wonderland and everything is divided up by color.
This picture makes my feet look crazy awkward, like my feet are opposite. yikes!
I used OPI - Metallic For Life & China Glaze - Liquid Leather
Let me know what you think. I'm loving gradient sparkles!! Do you? If you have a gradient mani you want to share post a picture to my Facebook page. I would love to see! =) Have a wonderful and chip-free day!

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.

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.

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.

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!
