Beauty/ /Springtime Trends

I'm the first to say that matching colors is not my thing. So I researched a few trendy colors for this Spring and most of them were colors that I found on my nail polish rack (+basket and cabinet, yes I don't have enough nail polish)!   O.P.I  To Infinity & Blue-yond , is a beautiful sky blue that screams Spring! This color is bright and opaque. I only needed 2 coats!  Julep Maddy , is one of my go-to pinks. I love the feminine side of this color. The brightness of this pink is perfect for any girly gal! Essie Cute as a Button , is a gorgeous shade of pink that adds warmth to any look! The reason I chose this one is because of the name (how adorable!) , and the glossy coral color.  ♡Anna

Nail Art/ /Tropical Florals

The weather is getting warmer and Summer has finally arrived. By now, you've probably already transitioned your wardrobe over to your shorts and tanks. Or you're just now getting to that... like me.

Then with the dotting tools , I began to create small polka-dots along the edges of the nail. Painting short strokes surrounding the dots with the light tan/peachy color. I used the toothpicks to make fine branche...

Sally Hansen's MiracleGel line is awesome. Let me just put that out there. I picked this polish up during a quick run to Walgreen's and it has become my new favorite. Sally Hansen's MiracleGel, Greyfitti 206 Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat I topped it along with the MiracleGel top coat. Which does an outstanding job. Not only does it apply smoothly, but the polish is durable.  This lasted for a whole week without chipping (!!!). I also use the top coat with other non-gel polishes and it works fine. ♡ Anna
