Aggies Do It Better

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??

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!

Hello! Like I said before, even though it's after Christmas I still have plenty of holiday things to post. After this one I have maybeeeee 3 or 4 more Lush Holiday items to post about (some I haven't even used yet! For shame!) so those will be coming soon. I'm going to try to get them up by the end of January. Today I have the Father Christmas bath bomb. It's pretty cute...can you get any more Christmassy??? The base pink I used was Zoya Kitridge. I really struggled with coordinating nail art for this little guy! I don't have any stamping plates that have any Santas on them, so I went with the next best thing. I chose a Christmassy sweater print from the Moyou Festive collection 06 plate. However, I had just filed my nails way down and even though these images are teeny tiny,  I still couldn't fit it on my nail! I even tried using tape to take off and add partial images, and it was just an overall fail. Talk about frustrating! I gave up and repainte...

Hello! I know it's after Christmas but I still have holiday things to post :) Today I have a mani I did well before Christmas but never got to write about it and post it. I got the idea to do different holiday themes of my most popular mani ever, my Mickey nails! You can see the original post  HERE from 2014   way back from 3 years ago! (don't laugh at them) And then my  Thanksgiving 2016 version here.  Today I have the Christmas version! Christmas Mickey and Minnie nails The polishes I used are: Lighter shimmery red: OPI Innie Minnie Mighty Bow Green: OPI Jade is the New Black Darker red glitter jelly: OPI Underneath the Mistletoe OPI Black Onyx   (black) and OPI Alpine Snow   (white under the buttons) Red Texture: OPI Magazine Cover Mouse (which is one of my fav textures and I use all the time!) The Minnie themed polishes are from the OPI Minnie Couture collection that came out a few years ago, I only have a few from that coll...

Hello and Happy New Year!  I wound up taking a little time off blogging over the break....as I usually do when my kids are off school although I never really plan on it! It's just hard to do when they are buzzing around. I have lots of stuff planned for 2017, hopefully I will get to it all!  Today I have the new "transitional" collection that Zoya has traditionally been putting out for the last few years. They are usually fairly neutral colors designed to take you from winter in to spring. And Some of my favorite Zoyas ever have been from these collections!
