OPI Mermaid Tears with glitter accent

Hey guys! I've been wearing these all week! This mani serves me 2 purposes. One, I looked forever for Mermaid Tears and I finally found it and still didn't wear it for months. That madness stops now! Also, the new OPI Nordic Collection is about to come out, and obviously I wanted alllll of them, then I narrowed it down to 6, then to 4. One of those is very similar to Mermaid Tears. A friend was posting some really awesome comparisons and I realized I have an extremely close cousin or a dupe for each of those 4. Oh the horror! I still probably would have gotten them, but I decided to put that money toward a more long-awaited and long-budgeted for purchase which I just made and I'll let you guys know when they get here! I also was looking for wearing something simple this week. I usually don't wear crèmes for very long because they chip on me after 2 days, but these have been going on 3 days as of last night (when I was typing this) so yay for that! Ok, maybe that's 3 reasons. On to the pics.

More pics and polishes used after the jump!

I hope I stay strong and don't buy any of the Nordics! (or at least wait for clearance...winky face)
What doesn't help is that the 4 exact ones I was going to buy are in the mini set for the clearance...I'm going to make no promises there....winky face again.

Apologies for this being a little blurry, sometimes in sun super sparkley glitter really likes to freak cameras out. Also...how long are my nails now! gah!

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!
