Roguish Red & Black Stripes

Hi there :)

So sorry this is late!!

The other day when the weather was finally starting to get nice, on the way to and from taking Hubby to work I saw like at least 10 Dodge Chargers or Challengers ( I am honestly not sure what type of car it was just one of those ) They were all this Tomato soup red color with black stripes. I saw 1 or 2 others with white stripes... I liked the black stripes better.

My mani today is inspired by those pretty cars !!

I seriously love this red color. I was wanting to use it after The Presidential Fundraiser or the Inauguration when Beyonce wore that really pretty red dress. It's so bad that I don't even know what event it was. I just remember seeing it..

After I put the stripes on, I realized that I didn't really like it. I might have maybe just put it on like my middle finger instead of every finger. I think that would have looked much nicer than how it turned out. The lines really sucked which kind of frustrated me but its ok! I used Wet n Wild Black Crémé for the stripes.

The stripes looked much better on the car, but I had fun doing this.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Happy St. Patricks!

Hi there!

Happy St. Patricks! I love St. Patricks. It is like my 3rd favorite holiday.  I hope everyone has My family is Irish and every year we all have dinner at my Grandmas and she makes corned beef and cabbage and it's like the only holiday I even eat meat. It is a great time really. Just to have my family together to laugh and be crazy and eat. This year we wont because my Grandma is in Az. :( I miss her so much.

Have you entered the St. Patricks nail art giveaway? Leah had a good idea to do our nails for inspiration and I had a lot of fun doing them! I hope you will enter.. We can't wait to see what you have for us! You can check out facebook for  both of our inspiration nail art. Here is the info on how to enter and the rules. Good luck everyone!

Here is my art.

Please excuse my grossly dry hands. I can't wait for winter to be over it is a never ending battle to keep them not cracking and dry!

I used my own green creation for the base. I have a few greens but I didn't love any for this idea, for the gold I used Orly Luxe, for the accent, clover and st. patty words I used Milani 3-D holographic Hi-Tech, for the black pot I used wet n wild black crémé, for the gold I used Orly Luxe & Wet n Wild Fergie collection Glamorous, For the rainbow I used Wet n Wild red red, 9.0.2.1.0range, Orly high on hope for the blue/indigo and my green.

Thank you for reading. I hope this inspires you to enter!

St. Baldricks

Hi there :)

About a week or so ago, my friend Amanda held an event at our town expo called "Wauconda Community Shave" it was to raise money and awareness for St. Baldricks Foundation: a foundation to help cure kid cancer. It really is an amazing organization! At the event so many awesome people shaved their heads to stand with children with cancer, and surprisingly most of them were girls/woman! It was truly heart warming and I had tears in my eyes almost the whole time I was there! Amanda and her mom even shaved their heads! I was going to shave my head but I wouldn't have been able to donate it, and I feel like that would be a waste. Just last year I cut my hair to donate it so I told Amanda maybe we could all do it next year so I would be able to donate it! If you are interested in checking out photos of the event or information on St. Baldricks, click on the links here and here.

I did some nail art on my nails in support! I also painted her nails too! Check them out :) I use Pure Ice- Free Spirit on all my nails except the accent nail I used LA Colors- Energy Source. 

On my accent nail I drew the St. Baldricks logo. I am no artist but I think its pretty close!

I drew little faces on my middle and ring finger with Julep Hayden.

I used Pure Ice- Free Spirit for the eyes, Wet n Wild Red Red for the lips & Black Créme and little rhinestones on my pinkie.

I really really enjoyed this nail art! I spent a lot of time on it and put in a lot of hard work! I didn't get to wear this to the event because I had to work and it didn't last that long. I really wish I would have planned better to be able to wear them to the event. Here is a photo of Amanda's nails that I did on her. I didn't get to do so much detail on her's because I did it right before I went to work. I also wish I would have planned better to do the nail art on her nails too, but I think they are still nice!

Here is a photo of Amanda and her Mom Before & After!

Thank you for reading! I really hope you enjoy this post!
