Rings On Her Fingers and Gels On Her Toes

Is a close-up photo of my crazy toes exactly what you were in the mood to see today? Oh good! I was worried.

I spent the last week of June on the beach, and in preparation for my trip, I did a DIY Gelish manicure AND pedicure. (Tiger Blossom, I totally dig it.)

Seche Vite Sandwich, Hold The Chips

I wrote about Seche Vite ages ago, but if you haven’t tried it yet, here’s a little story, and a tip, that may convince you of its awesomeness.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Well, it’s fall, alright. It can be a little confusing, what with the snow over Halloween weekend and then hitting 68 degrees today. (Not that I’m complaining.) But it's definitely fall. I mean, technically it’s been fall since September 23rd, but since we just fall’ed back the clocks, now we’re REALLY in it. 

In honor of fall, the season that would be totally awesome if it weren’t the farthest point from when it will ever be really warm again, I’m dedicating this week to color changing stuff.

My (Semi) Precious

I subscribe to whole bunch of fashion magazines “for research” and I am pretty sure every single one of them has mentioned Chanel’s Peridot nail color recently. Once in awhile, Chanel comes out with a nail polish color that I consider splurge-worthy, and seriously, what else does Chanel make that I could possibly afford? I finally got a bottle last week, and it is, indeed, worthy-of-splurge.

Orange You Glad...

If you haven’t noticed, orange nail polish is everywhere. Watching you. Just kidding! But it is definitely everywhere. It’s the natural progression from the orangey-reds of last summer. It only makes sense that polish would get oranger and oranger and go all they way to the most orangey. There is a whole range of orange shades available now. Most are plain gloss, but some have a bit of shimmer. If orangey-orange is too orange for you, there are a lot of darker reddish oranges too, and even some “hot corals.” (Like hot pink, only more orange.) If orangey-orange is not orange enough, there is neon orange! Of course, maybe you’ve already been doing orange. In which case, orange you fashion forward!

Shattered!

I’ve finally tracked down some of OPI’s Shatter effect nail polish! Maybe not exactly tracked it down, but I finally found it in stock at one of the places I’ve been looking (for months), Ricky’s.

DIY Minx: Sally Hansen Naaaailed It!

I’ve been searching drugstores for Sally Hansen Salon Effects for a few months now, and I FINALLY found them at Ricky’s! The selection, however, was severely limited. I was sooooo close to buying the hilarious “Denim Jeans” to wear with my jeans, denim shirt, and jean jacket, but I ended up buying glittery “Frock Star” which looks almost exactly like what clowns wear when they go to the disco.

Art Club Nail Polish for DIY Awesome
