My Private Jet

I am loving OPI's My Private Jet right now. It is a very fitting color for autumn. It's in between brown and black with holographic silver micro-glitter. And what's better than driving on a beautiful fall day with a Starbucks pumpkin chai latte in hand?

Fall Purple

I am absolutely loving this nail polish right now. I think it is very fitting for the almost fall season. This nail polish is by NYC and is called Lexington Lilac. I know lilacs are spring flowers, but this shade of lilac is darker and definitely appropriate for fall. It's a deeper and more muted lilac.

Jawbreaker

I just want to say that I cannot stop looking at my nails. I found this nail polish at Five Below and it's by the brand Funky Fingers. The name fits this polish perfectly: Jawbreaker. Doesn't it bring back memories of eating those huge jawbreakers you can find at amusement parks? It does for me. I used two coats in these pics. This polish is a multi-color glitter in a white base. It almost looks like a jelly sandwich, but much easier, there's no layering involved! Definitely a happy find. :)

I also think that this nail polish would be perfect for a birthday party! 

Gel Nails!

My brother got married a few weeks ago and I got my nails done for the wedding. I wish I could take credit for doing a French manicure this well, but that isn't so. I got gel nails and I LOVE how shiny and smooth they feel. Not to mention how long they last! They are a bit of a challenge to get off, but otherwise worth every penny.

Happy Birthday America!!

Happy 4th of July! Seriously, this holiday is one of my favorites. I love everything about it. I love patriotism, red, white, and blue, picnics, fireworks, parades, summer, America... I could go on. Of course I had to paint my nails in celebration of my country's birthday, so here they are. I was inspired, once again by MissJenFABULOUS (check her out on YouTube). I painted them white to start, and then used blue painter's tape and used a star shaped hole puncher to create the stars. I placed the hole punched tape on my nails and painted over it with red and blue polish. Last I added some dots and valla!

I have this tradition that I make cupcakes every Independence Day and this year was no different. They are not as elaborate as previous year, but still turned out pretty cute.

 Hope you are all having or had a beautiful 4th of July! God bless the U.S.A!!

Easy Flower Nails

Today I tried to be a little more adventurous and try something other than polka dots... although I LOVE polka dots! I made little flowers on my nails, which were inspired by a YouTube video from MissJenFABULOUS. She has awesome nail tutorials and I totally recommend her. I found making these flowers to be super easy and quite adorable. :)

S'MORE Fun!

The few last weeks of the school year have finally arrived. I put together this cute s'more bulletin board with the help of my adorable little preschoolers, who are almost kindergartners! What's a better way to get excited for summer than with camp fires and s'mores?
