We Are Young - Fun. feat. Janelle Monáe

This week I wanted to do something a bit easier on myself since I have a really long work week ahead. I decided to go with a jelly sandwich since I have actually NEVER done one before! I really can't believe that I haven't tried this sooner because I love the way it turned out.

First of all I started off with a coat of Seche Clear Base Coat. I then applied 2 coats of O.P.I. Too Hot Pink To Hold 'Em from their Texas Collection. It's a beautiful color and a great jelly polish. Next I added To The Glitter End! from Sephora by O.P.I. It's a fabulous gray metallic chunky glitter. I keep wondering if it is a dupe for the Deborah Lippmann I Love The Nightlife. I have been fan girling over that one since I saw it! Then, I added another coat of Too Hot Pink To Hold 'Em on top of the glitter. Fabulous! The glitter almost has a purple hue under the hot pink coat. I finished it up with a coat of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. Seche is definitely my favorite base & top coat hands down.

I seriously can not get enough of this song "We Are Young" by Fun. It is absoultely brilliant. You might recognize the song from the Chevy commercial that has been in rotation ever since the Super Bowl. If you haven't heard of them before be sure to check them out!

Bad News Baby - Josiah Lemming (feather nails!)

Hey kids! smeee again, Summer. I have for youuuu a FEATHER NAIL TUTORIAL!!!!!

uhm, HELLERRRRRR - do u SEEE this mani? IN LOVE. Its a total feather mani - I saw this on tumblr and decided that I should try.

Not to Toot my own horn or anything, but i like mine BETTER than that one. (toot toot) But maybe thats because its my mani. hahaha...

This is everything that I used for the mani. I bought the pack of feathers at hobby lobby for like... 1.49 and it was enough for 50 manis. Im not sure what color club color this is.. but its basically my new favsies. its my perfect nude polish. ANYWAY.. here is how I did this mani

• Paint every nail with your base color.
• WHILE the polish is still tacky - take the feather and lay it down gently onto the nail, and easily press the sides down so that the feather is laying completely flat. leave the extra hanging over the edge. Repeat on all nails
• Let dry, then trim the extra feather off of your nails. If any extra strands of feathers are loose, dont worry.. we will hold those down in a sec!
• After trimming all the excess feather - paint a clear coat over your nails - I used a thick coat of sally hansen hard as nails (yes i know this is a hardener - but it makes my nails super shiny)
• Take a Fast drying top coat and put it on top to seal everything in (optional) I used color club 0-60 top coat because its my faveee

Here is a close up of the thumb - It just looks so perfect. I loooveeeee it. Im probably gonna do this again for Nashville Fashion Week this year..

SO pretty I cant even look at it. omg.

Yeah this is a weird angle.... but i just cant stop looking at my fingers! loveeeeeee
