Aggies Do It Better

  Hey guys! Today is Cinderella movie day yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not actually sure when I'll get to see it because we are in the middle of moving and things are a little crazy! Last week (or was it 2 weeks ago?) I stumbled across the MAC Cinderella collection. Some one I follow posted a picture of what she bought (from the first online launch I'm guessing) and I was like WHAAATTTTT! Cinderella has always my favorite princess, long time readers of my blog might remember when I made a running costume for the Disney Princess Half Marathon ;) My wedding was also (subtly and not so subtly) Cinderella themed! In recent times my interests have changed a little (more so each day I parent 3 hyenas boys.... ) I have been slowly getting into makeup the last few months (previously and my whole life I have been wearing very little.) And each morning I wake up just my face powder is not cutting it anymore if you know what I mean! It has...

Hello! Happy Tuesday! I hope there's some of you out there are having warm weather because it is gray and miserable here this week. Winters in TN :( Anyway, I have a cute and easy Valentine's look for yall today! I've had these couple Nicole by OPI Carrie Underwood shades for a while now, they've been sitting and waiting patiently to be used! I even have an autographed bottle...I'm a lucky girl ;) I have 2 of the autographed polish because I want the signed one to stay in mint condition! 

Hey guys! As promised here are my official swatches of last year's Nicole by OPI Roughles! I love these all and you will be seeing them a lot on me this spring! First up is "Rock the Look" which is pink with darker pink/red flecks. I used 2 coats on all these swatches so I'll just state that here. To see the look I created with this one click here. Rock the Look Next up is "On What Grounds?" Which is probably my favorite! It's a minty-teal color with flecks of darker blue. Totally reminds me of a Robin's egg! Too see the look I created with it click here. On What Grounds? Next is "Sand in My Shoe" which is yellow with flecks of red and orange throughout. This one is interesting and not many people love it. I do and found a way to make it work! Too see click here! Sand in my Shoe Lastly is "I'm Stucco On You" which is lilac purple with flecks of dark blue. Too see the way I used it in a mix and match mani ...

Hey guys! I'm in purple today! I have a lot of purples, I don't know why I don't wear them that often. I used to really love purple! I have this on now and have since Monday? I have realized this is the longest I think I have ever worn purple! Really, this mani wasn't on my to-do list (yes, I have one haha) but came as an excuse to use my new Nicole by OPI Roughles ;)  The glittery solid purple is Pipe Dream Electric Soul, and was my first Pipe Dream Polish! The white glitter is Pipe Dream Bundled up, which is from a special box of polishes that hopefully I will have a blog up soon about. And the purple texture is Nicole by OPI I'm Stucco on You!  CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO TUTORIAL!  I made another video showing how I used nail vinyls to achiever the stripes! Its totally easy! Please check it out and let me know what yall think!   By the numbers: Pipe Dream Electric Soul: 3 coats Pipe Dream Bundled Up: 3 coats NOPI I'm Stucco on You: 2 c...

Hey guys! I have another mix and match mani today. And, write this down: I wore orange. It is a well known fact I do NOT like orange. I mean, it has it's place for art and what not and such, but that's about it. This is by far the most orange I've ever worn at one time. And no, this was not a full mani, just a look I created playing with  my new Nicole by OPI Roughles (swatches coming soon!) And, I used 3 untried polishes for this! Yay! It may be hard to believe but I have (um) several untried OPI's that I've collected over the months from clearance sales etc. But so far this month I'm doing pretty good plowing through them and my new polishes from the holidays! Onward! Click read more  for more pics and polishes used! 

Hey guys! I have another mix and match mani today...I told you I was going to be doing these a lot! Teal and turquoise are still my favorite colors lately. I just can not get enough!  On my index, ring, and pinky fingers is OPI Fly, one of my favs. But DANG yall she's a stainer. I would wear it more if it wasn't! Even with a base coat it still stains a little. I had to redo my ring finger and didn't use a basecoat. My nail was green when it took it off :( However, a little scrub with my nail brush and whitening toothpaste and most of it came off. But still! My thumb and middle finger is Nicole by OPI On What Grounds? Which is another one of the "Roughles" I received for Christmas. I seriously love it! Full review coming! For the silver dots I used Island Girl Tropical Hawaii and a dotting tool. Easy! But it wound up looking kind of loud so I put a matte topcoat over it and it helped tone it down. The glitter on my ring and pinky is Pipe Dream Poli...

Hey guys! Today I have a little "mix and match" mani trying out a few of my new polishes! You guys are gonna see a lot more of these from me in the coming weeks because its a great way to try several polishes at once and it gets you out of the box! The pink glitter on my first 2 fingers is called "Freezing my Baguettes Off" from Loaded Lacquer.  It's a light pink crelly with darker pink circles, hexes and iridescent white squares. It took 3 thin coats for me to be as opaque as I wanted and as with all milky polishes like this you need a topcoat because they matte down a little as they dry. I again used my new HK Girl topcoat which I will have a review of soon! The creamy pink is "No Bra" also from Loaded Lacquer. This is a unusally opaque jelly! I only needed 2 coats for full opacity! I also used the same topcoat. On my pinky and thumb is Nicole by OPI "Rock the Look" which is from the set of 4 "Roughles" polishes they put...

Hey guys! Long time no Blog! I've been taking a little break from blogging to get some things done around the house...nothing exciting, just some cleaning and reorganization!  After much deliberation, and I mean MUCH, I decided to do this year's 31 Day Challenge started a few years ago by Sarah of Chalkboard Nails. I did this last year, it was the reason I started my Instagram account! I was only doing my own nails off and on for about a year, and like I've said before, I NEVER would have thought this all would turn into what is has. So I've been doing these prompts, but there is no way it is humanly possible for me to blog every day! So I decided to only do 3 blogs for this challenge, one for each of the 10 day sections. That way I have time to fit in other blogs about other stuff...if I have time!  31DC2014 Part one!  The first is colors! Here we go! Day 1: Red I used Picture Polish Dorothy and Ocean (blue accents) and did a design inspired by one of...
