April 14, 2014 April showers bring May flowers. Or should I say snow showers in Iowa. Lucky for us it didn’t stick. All these snow showers can really bring a girl down but good thing I have a touch of spring on my fingertips today!! Saturday I was cruising around You Tube and came across an intriguing tutorial made by Messy Mansion called the leadlight technique, I knew right away I just had…

Nail Diary #256

March 30, 2014 Hi there! Hooray I hit the red tag jackpot at Target, I found the L’oreal Gold Dust Collection polishes on sale for under $2 each. Since these are normally go for $5.99 a bottle I found myself snatching these up. I got seven total; I know I am weak. But in all fairness I got three the first time I saw them, and then three a few weeks later on another target trip and then went and…

Nail Diary #255

March 26, 2014 Let’s think spring!! It’s got to arrive someday soon!! I have some spring inspired colors on my tips to share with you this time. I absolutely love a multi colored gradient manicure. It’s a fairly simple look to achieve; the hardest part is the clean up. To archive a sponge gradient manicure I start with a neutral base coat. My go to is Sally Hansen Insta-dry Petal Pusher. I…

Started with Wet n Wild Sophisticated Lady a frosty soft rose pink from the spring14 limited edition megalast line. I’m not much for frosty polishes, but I saw the potential in this color immediately; I thought this would look amazing with…

Nail Diary #253

March 20, 2014 Happy first day of spring!!! I don’t know about you but I’m ready, bring it on! It’s been cold and dreary here in Iowa. I have been longing for sun, fresh air and warmth. This longing was the inspiration for my next manicure. Think beachy; warm sand and the lulling sound of ocean waves. Oh I wish I was on one right now. But alas I’m stuck here in the Midwest with brown grass and…
