Get Over It - Ok Go!




Rainnnnny Sunday. Ahhhh...

Well, this mani features 2 of my favorite colors ever. Lucky duck by orly and skull and glossbones by opi! I did this mani a few weeks ago when my nail polish group did a 'retro' theme.... I had planned for this mani to look like old school wall paper... but I don't think I hit the nail on the head... I still like it!

I used a striping brush to make the lines and a mini dotting tool for the small dots. This was a quick paint job haha. I thought about doing something like this only a little more intricate. Would u guys be interested in that? Let me know!

Also, I want to start doing tutorials... what should my first one be? I did an easter bunny tutorial when we first started the blog, as well as a zebra stripe tutorial but I haven't done any lately. Leave me suggestions!!

xoxo - Summer

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.)

What Are You Waiting For (Allen Morgan Remix) - Lauri

Guys! We have our first guest post!

A while ago we had decided that we would love to have our first guest post, so we began thinking of who we should ask... well after a while I decided that we should choose Brooke. She had sent us some of her manis in the past and they were gooorrgggeous... especially her feather mani... anyway.. I asked her... and she said yes! Below is her post! ;)

I wanted to create a look for a wedding I went to this past weekend. The wedding was on Jekyll Island in Georgia at a gorgeous wooden chapel. The wedding was beautiful & I had a great time seeing friends that I have been missing. Last week I went to Atlanta to do some Christmas shopping & I found a fabulous pair of raspberry suede shoes that would go great with my dress for the wedding. Naturally I went and found some nail polished that matched my new shoes! OPI's Louvre Me Louvre Me Not was pretty much a perfect match. I couldn't have just one color on my nails so I added Orly's Shine & Essie's Luxeffects in Set In Stones for some bling. I painted my thumb & middle finger with Louvre Me Louvre Me Not & the other three with Shine. After that was dry, I sponged Shine onto my thumb & middle finger. I then used a reinforcement label to make the half moons on my pointer & pinkie finger with LMLMN. I used the Set In Stones on my ring finger for some added bling. I topped everything off with a coat of Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat to speed up my drying time. P.S. If you are wondering about the song, it's by an artist from Finland. Lauri Ylönen is the lead singer of the band The Rasmus and he released a solo album, New World, earlier this year. This is a remix off of the New World: Special Edition. I have been jamming out to this song for about 2 months. The original is great but this remix is fabulous.
