And for my next trick

I'm going back in time to elementary school today! I tried reluctantly to do what the instructions said to do with my last and VERY bright Julep Maven box. It said take the two colors and a toothpick and play with different shapes on your nails! Now I feel like I should bedazzle something!! I let my two year old help as a project since we have been up since 5:30 AM I needed something we could do till the fog could burn off. Take a look at our work:

Gel nail polish

This weekend I hosted an amazing show and had a little ME (lol) time!! It is extremely rare that I get to go to the spa or hair salon so when I do I seriously enjoy every second!!!

I went to a nail salon and the woman that worked there told me 1. My hands/nails were in terrible shape 2. My spray tan was dark on my hands and we laughed at my fingers as they look dirty but obviously had tanning spray on them! Then she recommended this fairly new concept of applying gel nail polish by OPI that normally will last 2-3 weeks no matter how ruff you are with your hands.

I'm loving this gel polish so much!!! BUT I must admit it is kind of a racket because every 2-3 weeks you must return to the nail salon to have the polish removed and redone OR if you want to take it off you must go to the salon to get it off. BUT overall I think it is SO amazing!!! It isn't that costly for a mani $25, it isn't as damaging to your nails as acrylic nails, it is long lasting, and it's OPI (love their colors)!!!

I will update you to see how long they last but for someone (like me) who washes their hands a LOT so far so good because regular polish only lasts on me maybe three days!!

Here is a look (ignore my hands lol)
