Manicure Monday inspiration....

Good Morning! Happy Monday! If you have the case of the MONDAYS.... Smile! You will get through it and be closer to Friday in no time! Now lets pamper ourselves Manicure Monday style! 

Today's manicure was  inspired by my new shirt I told you about in yesterday's post........Kindness Is Always Stylish...... so I wanted to experiment.

Pink, White, and Glitter!

I love love love this pink! I actually used my whole bottle of Avon color I had of this and now I couldn't find the same color so I found it over the weekend at Walgreens

Today, using French tip white from Avon

Salon Perfect's Top coat Mother of Pearl

and Sally Hansen's Triple Shine Pixie Slicks

Before painting your nails take a q-tip dip it in lotion and go around each nail and the polish won't stick to any where the lotion touched! 

That trick really works!

Each color took 3 coats to cover the nails completely or to my liking...

Hope this inspires you! 

Have a wonderful day!

Manicure Monday with a touch of sparkle

Good morning! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter yesterday! Well, I know I said last Monday that the nails colors I had gotten I would show you each manicure Monday.... well over the weekend I got a new color... so I am going to show you the new color today....

Of course they are from the Sally Hansen Nail collection.... the Triple Shine is called Dream Sequins and the Insta-dri color is called Petal Pusher.

I love the color it took about 3 coats for my nails to get the full color and then adding the Dream Sequins color to my ring fingers was such a cute and subtle touch. It still kept my nails classy. The colors work very well with each other. 

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Please leave a comment below... I haven't gotten any comments in forever.... it is kind of sad.....not feeling the love readers......

Manicure Monday!

Good Morning! So I read on cosmopolitan.com some tips for painting your nails and it's crazy I only knew 2 of the tips! I felt as If I have been living under a rock! Totally a must read!

I wanted to share my nails that I painted last night! I was very excited about the color but not so much with the results. I used Essie Turquoise & Caicos. It took 3 coats of the polish for it to cover my nails. I wouldn't rate this polish very high on my liking. 

I can't wait for my deep grey color from Avon to come in today and then I will be changing my nails to that!

What color will you be using today? Leave me some love below and tell me! Hope you all have a wonderful day and start of this week!

Nude nails....

Good morning! How are you today? Did you leave anyone a special note? I received quite a few and really I was more excited that they read my blog post from yesterday! 

Last week, I tried Essie color Sand Tropez. I have to say I liked it but it wasn't the nude color I was looking for... It stayed on my nails nicely given the test of  work! I'm serious if nail color stays on my nails at work it's awesome! I have to wash my hands at work over 50 times a day. So A+ for this nail color!

So what nude color have you tried and loved? I feel like my next color I would like to try is a deep grey! I have one on the way from AVON the Speed dry Grey Flash! It's only 99 cents! Worth a try and I will for sure post my nails and see if it passes the test!

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Leave some love! 

Remember Life is short...Smile while you still have teeth!

Are you ready for some football?

This weekend is the BIG GAME! Are you ready? The commericals....the food...and that Halftime show!!!

 Today at work, the staff and kids wore their favorite sports jersey to celebrate the BIG GAME this Sunday! Also, we always do a can drive in spirit of the game called the "Souper Bowl" where 2 boxes are placed for each team participating in the Super Bowl! I gave this year to the Broncos box!

I took a vote in my class of who my kids wanted to win and sadly they said the Seahawks! WHOMP! 

What are your plans for the Game? I'm excited about mine! I am making some pigs in a blanket and little pizzas to take to my mom and dad's with my boyfriend!

So I am sure you are wondering what I am going  to wear? well simple... I will be wearing my Washington Redskins t-shirt and my jeans! No my team might not be playing but OH WELL! can't wear any of those other teams stuff! 

I am also thinking of doing my nails special for the game........What do you think of this design?

Football nails!

Cute right? 

Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful Superbowl Sunday! Be safe! Go Broncos!

I don't know about you...but it's bothering me

                                 Valentine's Day is coming up... WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR? 

Well I am really wanting to get a red dress but I am also wanting an "I Love My Boyfriend" shirt I saw a shirt in Target but they didn't have my size. So sad!  Then it's like how should I paint my nails? Red? Pink? Heart Designs? See it can really be tough being a girl! Then what are we going to do? Are we really going out on the Valentine's day Friday night? Or is it a Fix dinner at home watch movies kinda night? All these things are going through my mind.... but really does it matter? It is just another day! We should love each other everyday and it should be like Valentine's Day everyday and not a day that should stress you out because it has to be perfect because really what day is really perfect? 


Hope you all have a wonderful Monday! If you have started making your Valentine's day plans share them! I love to hear from you all!

Manicure Mondays!!

                                MANICURE MONDAY!

 Sometimes I have the Monday Blues but lately I have been hearing Monday is considered  Man Crush Monday where you post pictures of your hot guy or the Hot celeb guys you wish you had on Mondays  I also heard it is considered to be MANICURE MONDAY where you get your nails all dolled up for the week and post the pictures of your freshly painted nails on Monday! 

               I thought why not share some ideas to help you with your Manicure Monday!! Right now I am loving the AVON NAIL ART DESIGN STRIPS.  They are so easy to apply and they lasted on my nails for about 2 weeks! Remember I am a Pre- K teacher during the day so I wash my hands about 20-30 times a day and they stayed on GREAT!!!

Nails are painted with Avon Chilling Teal color
and used AVON NAIL ART Cheetah Pink

Again using the AVON NAIL ART Cheetah pink
and this time the Avon Nail Color is Viva pink

My other favorite AVON NAIL ART is the Bows For You
I feel this design is a little Audrey Hepburn-ish

If you are loving these designs and would like to see more AVON NAIL ART DESIGNS you can visit My AVON page and get yourself some of the designs as well as the colors. 

Happy Manicure Monday!!! Hope you all have a great day and have fun dolling up your nails for the week.
