Paralympic Manicure

Hey guys,

Yesterday I was talking about how much I was enjoying the Paralympics. I'm still blown away by those athletes. Don't get me wrong I have mega respect for everyone at the Olympics and they are inspiring enough, but I definitely think that the Paralympics needs more recognition. Seems unfair that they don't get the same amount of TV and media coverage.

So like I promised here are my Paralympic inspired nails.

For this I used

Zoya - Holly

Julep - Ally

Julep - Glenn

#WeAreWinter

Hey guys,

So that time has come, the Olympic games are over. I have been up since 2 AM watching Bobsled, and then I was awake with the rest of the country at 5 AM for the gold medal men's hockey game.

Part of me is excited to get back to a normal sleep schedule but I am also going to be fairly bummed out that the excitement is over. There is something really special about feeling like you are a part of something bigger. 

Today's manicure seemed appropriate. 

So here is my #WeAreWinter manicure. (yes I know I messed up the R, oh well)

Winter Olympics 2014 Manicure

Hey guys,

Okay so I promise not to jabber on about the Olympics for the next couple weeks. That'll get old quick, but please bear through at least one more post with me.

I am dreading going back to work tomorrow, that means I will actually have to try to sleep tonight instead of trying to stay awake to watch stuff and setting alarms. I fell asleep to the soothing sounds of men's downhill skiing last night.

Today you guys will get a taste of LIGHTBOX pictures. Now keep in mind I am still seriously trying to figure this out and work out the kinks. I'm not sure if I'm 100% happy with all the settings and I probably need some sort of mini tripod cause apparently I have really shaky hands or something?

I wanted to do another Olympic Manicure for the Winter Olympics which I LOVE. So this time around I wanted to do something a bit different.

These are some of my fave winter sports. To watch anyways. I don't participate.

For this I used

OPI - DS Magic

Julep - Dahlia

Zoya - Storm

Zoya - Holly (with Supernatural Lacquer - Aurora Borealis)

OPI - DS Indulgence

Olympic Manicure

Hey guys,

So today I was watching the Women's soccer semi finals game. (USA vs Canada) 

I'm going to start this off by saying that both teams played incredibly well. It always amazes me how the players can be rolling on the ground in pain one moment then ripping around after the ball moments later, talk about hardcore athletes. I was totally unhappy about the refereeing though. Seriously that ref could not have seemed any more biased towards the US team. Now while I'm not saying that team USA shouldn't have won (like I said they were one half of an incredible game) I'm super happy about how team Canada played and that they came so close to having a shot at the gold.

This is my Olympic themed manicure.

for this I used

Bed Head - Master Mind (white base)

Quo Instant Artist - Red

Orly Instant Artist - Jet Black

Art Club - Neon Green

Art Club - Yellow

Art Club - Neon Blue
