Two Pretty Manicures

Hi y'all! I wanted to share a couple more manicures of mine. The first one is one I did myself at home and the second is a gel manicure I got done at a salon. I know I've already told y'all before, but I have a nail polish addiction! I hate when my nails aren't painted! I wanted something festive but not exactly Christmas since it was still a couple weeks out from Christmas, so mint and gold glitter it was! One of my favorite nail looks is the confetti manicure! When it got closer to Christmas, I of course had to do red sparkly nails! Thanks to my awesome boss (and sister), she scheduled us to get our nails done as one of our employee Christmas gifts! How awesome is that? Well, here's the two looks!

Top manicure: "I need a refresh-mint", Wet n' Wild

"Gold's Night Out" OPI by Selena Gomez

Bottom manicure: I forgot to get the names of these! It's two separate red gel polishes. She used a metallic red for the 2 base coats and then topped them off with a sparkly top coat. When I was trying to pick a color, she suggested I go for this, she called the look "Dorothy's Ruby Slippers", which I totally agree! 

It's been on almost 2 weeks and no chips yet! I love getting gel manicures because they last so much longer! I really wanted to get them redone for New Years but they still look good so I'll probably keep them for a little while more.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family & friends! I have several outfit posts coming! I didn't want to cram them all into the same post so they'll be posted separately. Thanks for reading! :)

How 'bout a Beauty Post?

Hey y'all! I haven't taken any outfit pictures since my last post but have a couple things I can share! First up, is a manicure I did about 2 weeks ago! It's very monochromatic with the black, white and silver, but I LOVED it! Pretty simple but it made a statement! Nails are the easiest way to do that! The next is my hair! My sister and I decided to try balayage. It's more natural looking than ombré. It's taken SEVERAL tries to get it to where it is now and thankfully, I'm happy with it!

Manicure Monday

Hey Y'all! How's it been over a month since I last posted? It doesn't seem like that long ago! So Fall is my absolute favorite season, yet I had a hard time transitioning into it! This summer was a blast and I guess I didn't want it to end! Well, since I posted last, there's lots that has gone on. My sister and I moved into a house together and y'all, it is just the cutest thing! Like a real life doll house! Pictures to come once everything is in it's place! :) Also I made a trip home to Ohio for one of my best friend's wedding. I was there for 2 weekends, first being her bridal shower and bachelorette party then the following her wedding. I was so honored to be by her side for such a special day. I'll share a few pictures of that in a different post! It was back to reality on Monday, had a busy work week and then this past Saturday, I went to the Luke Bryan concert. Spending Sweetest Day with him was perfect! ;) Now that I'm back home I was ready to get in the Halloween spirit. Easiest way for me to do that was a pretty orange & gold mani! Simple yet festive enough!

Pink Shorts

I wore this outfit before Labor Day, so my white sandals were allowed! I know they say it's okay to still wear white after labor day, but I just can't do it! My mom and grandma taught me that tradition and I'll probably stick to it the rest of my life! Anyways, I wore this outfit to work! I love the bright necklace against the white to pop!

Manicure Monday

Time for another Manicure Monday! I haven't painted my nails for awhile, sadly. I always plan too then something else gets in the way! I know it's Spring and all but I just spent this past weekend in Nashville and it was cold and rainy pretty much the whole time we were there so I decided to try out my charcoal nail polish. I've had it for about 2 months now and haven't even used it yet! I have to say I wish I wouldn't have waited so long because I love it! It's edgy but sophisticated as well.
