She Aint You - Chris Brown


So for Easter my madre gave me an acrylic nail kit - with everything i would need to start practicing on how to do those... i know, my mom is awesome right? right.

Anyways, i used an opal tip and then used white acrylic powder - because i like to paint my nails and i figured if i did this i wouldnt have to use a base coat.

this is the result of my 2nd attempt.. i must say.. i did waaay better than expected. a few of my friends who go to have theirs professionally done said that they looked great for a 2nd attempt and want me to do their fill ins! hahaha



what do you all think? would you let me near your nails with acrylic?! hahah :) In this picture the nail color that i am wearing is Essie - Cute As A Button

ANNNDDDD this is after i added dots, the purple is Nina Pro - punky purple and the gold is Gold Grill

Easter Bunny Nail Tutorial

Hey guys! A few of you have seen my easter bunny nails and asked for a tutorial. Since this is the first tutorial that I've done, I am a little nervous to share with you! I left the edges messy because I dont clean them until the very end! (also my nail shape is terrible - I just removed acrylics. YUCK)

Nashville Fashion Week


Nashville fashion week closed a few weeks ago and all I have to say about it is uhm, WHY THE HELL HASN’T THIS HAPPENED SOONER?


I went into this thinking "Please God, don’t let this be a hot mess" – because let’s be honest, it could have been. I arrived at the venue on Thursday about 15 min early and got in line with media and they led us to the photo pit. Right before the show kicked off, a member of the NFW team came to me and asked if I wanted a seat on the front row. Did I even have to think about this? uhh no. Did they seat me RIGHT next to Traver Raines? Yes. I took my seat and waited for the show to start.


Olia Zavozina, White Rabbit, Cooper by Courtney Warren, Union of Angels, and Christian Siriano all showed their collections but to be honest…… the show stopper was DEFFFFFF White Rabbit designed by Shea Steele. I was LIVING for the pompom lariats and color blocking. Siriano's show was amazing too, but you already knew that.


Kelly Cutrone was also there but she was busy getting Sh*t done in the back. I have to say, after the show I was SERIOUSLY impressed with the way everything went down. Nashville was definitely letting the industry know they meant business. So here’s to hoping this continues on

Enchanted - Taylor Swift



I thought I would make a quick update since I have kind of been MIA lately.

After taking an art class in high school, I learned that gold is purples compliment color so when I was trying to figure out a quick/easy mani to do for work this week I decided to try these two colors together - the purple is midnight snowfall by nicole by opi and the gold is called gold grill. i really like it!

So what do y'all think? like it or leave it?
