What I wore (June 2015)

Hey guys! Its the last day of June-whoa! I haven't been blogging much this month, I've mostly been just enjoying trying out and wearing some of my newer polishes! Most of these have been posted on Instagram but I need to document them here so I can mark them with my little sticker system! I thought I would type up a couple thoughts on each before we head to the pool- I'll keep it short because my keyboard is being super wonky!

This is Loaded Lacquer "Double Shot of Sriracha". Let's be honest, I bought this for the name! I'm not as super in to holos as a lot of people, but this is gorgeous! It photographs a little darker than it is. It's pretty sheer on the first coat, but surprisingly opaque on the 2nd! I'll probably do 3 coats the next time I wear it though.

This is Polish My Life "Birthday Suit", a really pretty creamy nude that almost glows against my super tan-at-the-moment skin! I think this is 2 coats, but I didn't write it down. I've worn this before but not as a full mani! I love it!!

After a couple days (ok one day) I felt a strong urge to add some gold. I used zig zag nail vinyls and my favorite nude-gold polish Pipe Dream Polish "Champagne Kisses"

I also wore Zoya Ginni in an effort to have a mani hold up against going to the pool so much! We all know water is the ENEMY! It lasted a couple days, I actually thought it would last longer.

Lastly is Loaded Lacquer Dragon Fruit, an almost neon pink jelly. Jellies are meant to be a little sheer and applied with several thin coats to look squishy. This is 3 thin coats. This surprisingly has held up the best against the salty water of the pool! Hooray!

Last night I couldn't decide if I was going to swap out polish or add....I didn't want to take off Dragon Fruit yet so I added more gold (sheesh) using lightning bolt nail vinyls and matte topcoat! I actually started with my Zoya matte topcoat, and after 2 coats it still wasn't mattifying for some reason. I've never had a problem with it before, so maybe Zoya just doesn't like jellies?? Weird! So I added a THIRD coat, one of OPI matte topcoat, and ever so reliable it worked! Yipee!

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!
