It's a Bling Thing (Nail Polish tutorial)

For the past 2 weeks, EVERYWHERE I go I have gotten compliments on my nails. Followed by, "Was it very expensive?". The answer to the question is emphatically "NO".

This nail polish seems to look much like the gel nail application that is so very popular and somewhat expensive. It is just polish, but has worn just as well as when I have had gel polish on my nails. This picture shows what they look like after 2 weeks of wear.

Step 1: Make sure your nails are properly trimmed and shaped (or just take this polish to your manicurist).

Step 2: Base coat nails

Step 3: Polish nails with 2-3 coats of KLEANCOLOR: Winter Wonderland polish.

Step 4: Polish nails with 2-3 coats of KLEANCOLOR: Chunky Silver polish

Step 5: Apply a super shiny top coat and allow to dry thoroughly!
(If you have time and you can get your manicurist to do so~try to dry as much as possible between coats to avoid that squishyness that applying too much wet polish causes)

Voila! Long wearing super blingy, fabulous nail polish!

Give the gift of good luck

So, I have this amazing friend who has a big test coming up for a very prestigious certification for her work and she has been studying her little booty off. I thought she could use a pick me up, and this is where my insane imagination took me...

This is the inside of the box. I picked up a few items that seemed lucky to me and then put a little spin on each one. The labels here are just Avery 5260 labels. You can download free avery software and templates at avery.com

This is a "Lucky Puffy". It is actually a rabbit fur brooch. I absolutely LOVE these things, you can literally put them on anything! I held this one in my hand and said a prayer for my friend so that every time she rubs it for luck, it will release my prayer and protect and uplift her.

This cute little tiara/crown hair comb (sorry the pic is not better) has been dubbed "The Crown of Wisdom" to hold in all of the knowledge that she acquires while studying.

What says Good Luck more than a horseshoe? So, naturally I had to put in a horseshoe, but no self respecting girly girl wants a rusty ol' horseshoe in her lucky box. This is a rhinestone horseshoe necklace that is sure to catch any good fortune passing by.

All wrapped up with a label and a bow makes this lucky gift good to go!

Get Your CROWNING Glory on...

What does she know that most of us don't? That you should always wear a crown! Wearing a crown does a few things instantly, it pops you up into perfect posture, lifts your mood and elevates your elegance.

Most of us remember seeing this image of Audrey Hepburn as little girls and dreaming of being so beautiful and regal looking. Well, what's stopping you? Go ahead, wear your Crown or Tiara or any Headdress that makes you feel GRAND!

This one is mine. I wear it mostly all of the time. Mainly because it is also a fabulous hair comb that keeps the hair out of my eyes, but also because it is so nice to pass by a mirror and get a glimpse of myself and realize that; "Oh yeah, I royally deserve all that life has to offer!".
