Double Glam Nails
I do my nails pretty often, and every time I go to take off a color, I think never again. No more glitter. Yet, the next time I go to the store and buy a color, there’s inevitably some little glitter pot calling my name. There’s no stopping there, either. Before I start painting my nails,…

Mermaid Glitter Nails
I have this weird obsession with mermaids right now. No, that’s not true. More of ‘this reminds me of mermaids’ and ‘that reminds me of mermaids’. True story, in London I went to the M&M store and bought a bag of custom colors, then proceeded to ask my friends “what do these remind you of?”…

Manicure Mondays: Lisa Frank Reminiscent Nails
It’s when I look at the photo of this nail polish that I can’t get the name “Lisa Frank” out of head. And honestly, I just don’t mind. I mean, who doesn’t want to be looking at so many neon colors they start to go a little cross-eyed? I picked up these two samplers, along…

Flashy New Years Decor
For the past 3 or 4 years, my friends and I have had our own New Year’s tradition – make plans for midnight, celebrate, stay up and hang out until sunrise, then head out to the beach and take a group photo. Of course, after we pass out for the entire day. With the excitement…

Custom Christmas Ornaments
Since I’ve moved off to college, I’ve realized how much I don’t want to spend money on items with a short life span, plus how little room I have! So, my first year at school I got a small fake tree from CVS (only $15!) and have held on to it for a loving 4…

Glittered Altoid Tin with a 10-year-old
A couple days ago (or maybe a couple weekends ago), my sister saw me working on my scrapbook altoid tin and wanted to help. Being the awesome sister I am, I shared with her my plans to make a glittered version… which she loved! Thus began my adventures working with a child and glitter: “Glittered…

Upcycled Altoid Tins: scrapbooking and glittering
I’ve carrying around this old pouch for about 5 years now… filled with a variety of objects. Mostly, it’s filled with a bunch of bobby pins, a couple hair ties, chap stick, nail trimmers, bandaids, Neosporin, and a bunch of loose floating pills. So, when my mom bought Altoid tins (remember that Instagram picture from yesterday?)…

Kristofer’s Nail Fail ;)
Because Kristofer is leaving me for the next 10 days (yes, I’m counting!), I wanted to take today to rave about how awesome he is. He plays Draw Something with me into the wee hours of the night, until I’m tired enough to fall asleep first. I’m never thirsty when he’s around (not because of…

Turqouise & Glitter Nails
I have to admit, I really love my turquoise & glitter design! Fatal flaw? It is nearly impossible to get off your nails! I applied three thin coats of my Essie Turquoise & Caicos, then fairly generous amounts of my Luxe Effects Set in Stone (though again in thin coats). It seemed thicker at the…

Pink & Glitter Nails
Pinterest has given me some great ideas for the summer, which I’ve taken and run with. Before, I was feeling dreadfully bored – I’m used to being unusually busy! So, my co-worker Katie got me interested in nail art, and it had to be my first project. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out very well. But, I’ll…
