Blue chevron nail art with Zoya!

Hey guys! Happy Friday! This week has TOTALLY flown by for me, since I didn't get back till Monday and was sick until today pretty much! blech!

Today's nail of the day is Zoya Edie, part of the Peter Som 2014 Collection that I will have swatches for tomorrow! I'm going a little out of order, sorry :) When I was done swatching I left Edie on as a full mani. I just love this blue! It started to shrink too soon from my topcoat, which is getting kind of old. My favorite way to spruce up/recycle/save a mani is to add texture and tape!!

I used my pinking shears (sewing scissors, you could use chevron or zig zag craft scissors) to cut thin strips out of blue painters tape. I taped off my sections and added accents of Zoya Liberty (the lighter pixiedust) and Zoya Sunshine (the darker pixiedust). Blue for all!

pardon the crappy pic, but this is how I do it! Tape, fill in with polish, and remove right away! Easy!
Can you see the shrinkage around my cuticle? BOO!

Rock Star Baby Shower Cake

Hey Yall! Blogger is finally up and I finally have a few minutes, albeit while the boys are recreating the Indy 500 with their fire trucks in the playroom while I'm on my new mini-laptop (yay)....I'm gonna try to get some of the cakes I've made in the past month up! First up is the baby shower cake. It is half vanilla with vanilla buttercream and half chocolate with chocolate buttercream. I wonder how many pieces they had to cut to find some on both halves, because after I got the fondant on I had no idea where the division was! I asked for a picture of the bedding so I could have something to coordinate with. The only request was the cake flavors, so I could come up with anything! Here's the result.... I modeled the top like the bass drum and made panels around the sides to depict other scenes in the bedding. I'm pretty happy with my guitar...I totally free-handed cut that out. I've stated several times before...I'm not an artist, so that was a pretty big d...

Disney Cruise Nails 2017

Image
Hello fellow land dwelling friends! We are back from our vacation where we went on another Disney Cruise! We have done a few now and they have been the best trips our family has ever been on. This was our first voyage on one of the classic ships. Can not recommend enough! This was the longest cruise we have done, and I took the most footage ever. It will take me a little bit to sort through it all! I plan on several blog posts and a video. I can't decide whether to divide it up by day or category (food, entertainment, ports, etc) so I'm open to any and all suggestions! I'm starting today with the mani I created and wore the whole time! I was really indecisive about what to do, and therefore waited until the last minute to do these nails and was up entirely too late the night before we left! Once I finally decided on a color palette this is what followed, 2 hours later!
