Gelish Halloween Mani | Pumpkin Patch

Published on: Thursday, October 31, 2013 - No comments
I had a rather busy weekend last weekend! We went and checked out one of the venues we're seriously considering for our wedding: The Mission Inn. We've decided on a theme for the wedding: Harry Potter. That's right, I said it, we're having a Harry Potter wedding... and it's gonna be AWESOME!! We (re: my fiancée) have been looking everywhere for a venue that has the right atmosphere. For Harry Potter, we didn't want something too contemporary....

Fangs, Claws, and Stripes

Published on: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 - No comments
I have just a quick post today to show off the two manicures I did this past weekend. :) First, I did a Gelish manicure for my coworker's friend. She knew she wanted black matte but she didn't want to go all crazy with her nails, so I decided on a simple black matte with shiny french tip and, since she loves Nightmare Before Christmas, I added a black and white striped accent nail. I only used Black Shadow, Sheek White, Matte Top IT Off, and regular...

31 Day Nail Art Challenge | Day 1: Red

Published on: Friday, October 25, 2013 - No comments
So, in an effort to help me get my creative juices flowing, I've decided to take on the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge - with a Gelish twist. I'm not going to do my nails everyday for 31 days, but instead I'm going to do a 3-5 nail set on one of my nail wheels a couple times a week. I love the "every nail is different but similar" look, or when people have 3 nails that are the same and two accent nails, so I really want to practice variety and tying...

Well, this was an interesting weekend! My coworker wanted to come back over for another Gelish manicure and her cousin was interested in coming over and getting hers done as well... And they offered to pay me! Like, actual money! So I figured... why not!? On top of that I also did my roommate and bff's nail. Meanwhile, my own thumbnail started lifting because I used nail polish remover without using any gloves >.< My own fault. After doing...

Gelish Mani Sunday | Halloweeny Spiders + A Proposal!

Published on: Sunday, October 13, 2013 - No comments
Last weekend my girlfriend and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. We had a nice dinner and we made plans to go to Gay Day at Disneyland last Saturday -- Disneyland Gay Day is alllways a fun time! While we were wandering around our friend said, "Hey! Let's go over to the Snow White wishing well! I think there's a hidden Mickey there!" and I was all, "herp-a-derp okay." So we get over there, the castle starts to chime for noon (I had no idea...

Gelish Matte Top It Off And Trends Polish Take 2

Published on: Saturday, October 12, 2013 - 2 comments
I picked up more Gelish Trends polishes and have swatched them up! I had REALLY wanted to pick up the new Gelish Foil Nail Art kit, but I called 4 different Sally's in the area and NONE of them had it. Once I get my hands on one I plan on writing up a full review with pics. :) Additionally, my lady requested a black matte manicure inspired (alright, straight up copied!) by one she saw on Pinterest. By Sun Dancer at SolensDanserinde.blogspot.com I...

Guys. GUYS. I got the Gelish Matte Top It Off AND one of the new Trends colors, Life of the Party!! I went by Sally's tonight and, lo and behold, they had the Trends and Matte polishes!! They didn't have any of the display bottles out, but I asked them and they pulled them out from behind the counter. Even better? They're having a deal: buy 2 Gelish mini polishes, get a free Top It Off mini, which is PERFECT cuz I'm almost out!! So, I...
