Hurricane - Parachute

Hey guys!! I have a quick update from my time in Indiana last month.
I saw several people in concert, ate smores by a campfire, shopped more than I should have, and most importantly I spent lots of time with my best friends.

More after the cut!

Little Things - One Direction

Hey guys! Short post for yall today. Did a simple mani for a concert last month. It was boys like girls, all American rejects, and parachute. It was super fun!

I used fast track by China glaze as the main color. Its such an amazing color. Tan with goldish green flakies. It is perfect for fall.  The pale pink is by color club, as is the glitter. I am in love with the accent nails.

Have yall heard the new one direction album yet?? this song was written by Ed sheeran, my fave. How do yall like it??

I have been slacking majorly lately so I figured that I'd do a huge picture spam of all my recent manis that I have done but haven't had time to blog about. So onto the pics!

Happy Valentine's Day! We hope you all had a lovely day. As promised, here is the collection post. Thank you so much to every person who sent in their pictures. Enjoy looking through the pictures and be sure to check out their blogs! You all are extremely talented. 

From now on, we'll start off the collection post with our number one favorite. We loved all of the manis...it was a close call...but we decided on Joy as the number one for this post :) Great job, Joy! Light, flawless and girly color on this mani that seems to represent Valentine's Day in its entirety.

I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

Hey guys!

So its almost valentines day and even though I despise this holiday... I figured id do some sort of mani for it! I knew lots of people would be doing hearts.. so I tried to do something a little different. So I went with a drag marble with my dotting tool! Yayyyy! Haha, its so simple and a lot easier than actually water marbling. I used china glaze merry berry, essie high maintenance, and essie cute as a button.. and put them on in three stripes and then drug the small end of my dotting tool across to make this design. I did a 'sublime' mani like this a few months ago and loveeeed it.

I chose this as the title because litterally... as I was writing this... I found out whitney had passed. So sad.

Turn Me On - David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj

Hello everyone! Last week I did a mani for the sweet side of Valentine's Day. Today's mani is the sexy side!



I started out with a beautiful color from one of the sets Ulta put out recently called Paint The Town. It is a darker red color that I really loved. I almost didnt want to paint over it because it was fierce on it's on! On my ring finger I used WnW Black Creme. I then free handed the red lips. I was going for the look of fish nets on my pointer finger. I used a Bundle Monster plate for the design. Then I used China Glazes Ruby Pumps for the other fingers.




Red just screams sexy right!?

I thought I would also include a picture of my Valentine since it is almost here.


This is Jax asleep in my lap. He is a Scottish Terrier. I fell in love the minute I saw him. I think I have the cutest Valentine ever! ;-)

Pumpkin Soup - Kate Nash

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be sharing my nail polish addiction with all of you! I have been an avid nail blog reader for months now. I must admit that reading this wonderful blog & seeing all of the amazing things that Summer and Alexis come up with is how I got the nail polish bug! They are two very talented ladies! I am so honored that they asked me to contribute.

Since it is February & Valentine's is right around the corner, I thought I would do something centered around that theme for this week and next week.

This week's theme is Sweet Hearts. I got the inspiration from those heart shaped candy with the messages that taste like chalky antacids! (The SweetTart kind are my favorite.) I wanted to mix it up and do something different on each nail. I thought my hearts & poka dots came out pretty good. I have to say that it was my first time doing lines free handed & they got a little wobbly. Practice makes perfect though! I also, of course, had to have some glitter!

I used quite a few different polishes for this mani. I recently bought 3 colors from China Glaze's Electropop Collection: Gothic Lolita, Sweet Hook, & Dance Baby. I used 2 Orly colors: Basket Case & White Out. Then 2 colors by Essie: Marshmallow & Turquoise & Caicos. Finally the glitter one is from the Katy Perry O.P.I. Collection: Teenage Dream.

I realize that my post title does not sound like a song for Valentine's but if you listen to it, you'll hear that it has nothing to do with pumpkins or soup. :)

P.S. Be sure to keep reading all February! Lots of great posts coming next week from Alexis and Summer!

Brand New Day - Joshua Radin

Hey there! 

Last weekend, for new year's eve, I went to Knoxville and met up with Summer! Reunited at last :)

We had a really fun time that night and it was great getting ready together and hanging out. Summer was so sweet and gave me a nail polish gift set! So, I thought I would take some quick pictures. (I'm still in love with my camera and I'm basically taking pictures of every thing in my kit. Haha.)

Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5

BIRTHDAY WEEK HAS BEGUN!! Im not sure if you all know, but Alexis and I are both virgos, and our birthdays are only a week apart!!! haha hers was this past week.. and mine is on the 9th (friday) but I started the celebration this weekend... The first thing that I did was go out to eat with friends.. it was sooo yummy. 

Anyway, on to the reason you are here! BEAUTY!!! haha, I kept it really simple by just doing a skittles mani.. I knew that I would be taking it off later to do another birthday manicure anyway.. 

 

 I used China Glaze in For Audrey and Secret Periwinkle, OPI in Show it and Glow it (glitter), Sinful Colors in Nirvana, and WnW in Light Pink Creme...

 I also received my first birthday present of the week! Desiree of GorgeousInWonderland and it was PURRRFECT. She gave me like 10 bottles of polish.. in all my favorite colors (mainly grey.. she knows me so well) and some nail essentials.. ALSO! the cutest little fat owls you have ever seen... anyone that knows me.. knows that I am obsessssssed with owls.. so she picked out awesome stuff!

 These were my EOTD - I was going to be wearing a hunter green color so I wanted to bring that out with my eyeshadow.. I used my coastal scents 88 color palate and urban decay liquid liner.. and almay one coat dial up mascara.. I LOVE having big lashes! haha

 Even if my lashes look like tarantulas from all the mascara that i was using.. well... I dont care.. because my motto is the bigger the better! hahah should I wear this more often??

I Wanna Go - Britney Spears

OK - So let me start off by saying, I REALLLY did want to love this polish.. The color is great and all... but I just cant.

This is Shocking Pink by China Glaze. Its one of their neons.. and I was at sally's the other day.. and just bought it on impulse. In theory its wonderful. but in reality.. it chips and needs like 6 coats... and its streaky... but I mean... im sure its a good accent color... right?

FAIL.

In other news: My puppy (butters) thinks that he is a human and sleeps like this every night. Best thing in the world to wake up to..

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS!

xoxo - summer.

Losing Your Memory Now - Ryan Star

Glitter Bomb!

So the facebook group that I joined a few weeks ago decided to do a different mani every monday - and I have participated a few weeks now. This mondays theme is Glitter Bomb. Which basically just means.. glitter every where, glitter all day every day, glitter on glitter, glitter glitter glitter. You get the picture.

I decided that I would do something simple and I would wear it for my interview on tuesday as well.. The picture above is with NO flash..
This picture obviously has flash.. but it doesnt give the mani justice. I think that the first picture us WAY more accurate.
I used China Glaze for audrey - WnW party of 5 glitters - and Essie Matte about you. I just layered and layered the glitter over the for audrey on my accent fingers and put the matte finisher on top of the glitter! I like the way it makes it look frozen :p
