Hey guys! It's Superbowl Sunday! Today I have a little thing called "twin nails" where I and another girl (my friend Beckie of @PolishedbyBeckie) get together and design a mani to do together! Fun right! Even with the same design the outcome is still usually just a tad different and I love that! I stayed up way late last night to get these done (so busy lately!) and I was filming each step which always make the process take longer!
Beckie and I are both Patriots fans so naturally we needed to do some Patriots nails!

I apologize for my lighting being all over the place. Mostly I do nail stuff during naptime in the afternoons and theres some light from the window my desk is under. Since this was a night even with my lights I feel like my videos especially were shadowy like crazy! And I'm afraid naptime is coming to an end so don't even get me started....I have no idea what I'll do then.
Ok I used a ton of polishes for these so lets just get right into it!
Thumb: base of OPI This Gown Needs a Crown (silver) and one thin layer of Pipe Dream Polish Cha-Ching, and then topped with Hard Candy Soda Pop (r/w/b glitter)
Striped nails: base of OPI TGNAC again and when it was dry I used skinny straight nail vinyls for the stripes (my striping tape was not cooperating). The red is Zoya Posh Matte Velvet (since it's matte I had to work quickly!) and the blue is Zoya Song. You can see how I apply the polish and remove the vinyls in the videos. When it was dry I applied my topcoat sideways to prevent smearing! ;)
Football nail: base of Zoya Louise (brown) and laces made with white striper. Easy!
Green nail: I used my signature "grassy nail" combo of Zoya Chita (green texture) topped with Zoya Rina (green bar glitter). I used the same white striper for the Roman numerals and topcoat again!
Whew!
Check out the 3 video tutorials! They are in super fast mode because I didn't have time to make the slower versions. I might at a later date!
Here's the little collage she made with both our mani's! So cool right! Her stripes are so perfect I can't even stand it.
Hello! Long time no see! I have had a lot going on since my last blog. My sincere apologies to Zoya for taking longer than usual to get this blog published. I was going to do a little life update but y'all don't care about that, that's what Snapchat/Instagram/Twitter is for ;) let's get to these polishes! Which one do you think I chose to swatch last and wear for the weekend??
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...
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!
