Matchy Matchy

I am in love with matching my manicure and pedicure. From what I hear, it must be a Chicago thing though lately I have been more into matching my lipstick to my nails. I love this bubble gum image that I pinned recently but now I may have to try this orange lip and this nail color. What do you think? 

A Break For No Breaks {Nails}

Solar Cuticle Oil | Nail File | Nail Buffer | Nail Fortifier 

Spring has us all going crazy for nail color. One day we are wearing mint, the next it is tangerine. And all that acetone has my nails getting weak. Let us not discuss my cuticles. So, I skipped the color this week and give my nails a tiny break.  I picked up this Powerful Acrylic Gel by Sally Hansen to fortify my nails but be very careful to follow instructions. Only one coat as a base or alone every time or it will not only bubble on you, it will be a nightmare to take off. My nails are stronger and have grown because of it. In fact, I never cut my nails (one, because I chew and two they never grow) and this week I actually had to because they grew so long! Now if only there was a similar gel for my hair?!

La Primavera nos tiene a todas locas por los nuevos colores de esmalte. Un día es un verde menta y otra día es naranja. Pero tanto usar la acetona me puso las unas y cutícula como un desastre total! Bueno, no use color esta semana, me compre Powerful Acrylic Gel de Sally Hansen para fortalecer mis unas. Ya están mas fuerte y mas largas con solamente una semana. Ahora para buscar algo así para mi cabello!

Polka Dots

It's Manicure Monday time. Okay so it's only that time when I get the chance to paint them. Working mom here, cut a little slack. So we got a chance to finally put up our tree yesterday and since Analiese was so excited (and distracted) I was able to swipe on a few coats of polish. When my parents came over I was able to get crafty. After I slapped on two coats of "Brick Wall" by Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear, I got this idea from my Kenneth Jay Lane inspired bracelet. I grabbed a paper clip, dipped it into "Mirror, Mirror" by Orly to create polka dots. I started with just the ring finger and then got a bit crazy. At least they look a bit festive and not the hot mess my hands looked like in the morning. Geez, I couldn't even stand the sight of these digits.
