Nail Roundup

I've never been a huge fan of sitting down to do my nails, but I love having clean and pretty fingers. Kind of a predicament, huh? In fact, one of my biggest pet peeves {I'm sad to admit, it's one of many...} is ridiculously chipped polish. It looks so dirty and BLEH. It makes me want to wallow in a state of shock, self-loathing & pity just looking at it! {Ok, drama over}

It hasn't been until this past year that I've noticed some fun nail trends and tried a few out myself. I'm not a pro by any means, but I thoroughly enjoy trying out new polish combinations, brands, and techniques. It all keeps me pretty entertained & excited for my next manicure! This is my nail roundup from this past year, full of: prints, simple & bright polish, glitter-ed mania, and festive Christmas nails. Enjoy!

{Tuesday's} Letters

I know this is usually a Friday link-up on The Sweet Season blog, but I figured...what the heck. Let's put it out there on a Tuesday night cause I don't feel like waiting 'till this weekend :)

Dear Essie Polish,
Not gonna lie...I'm not a huge fan. You are so runny and obnoxious to paint with but your color options are so tempting! I guess I'll always stay a OPI girl.

Dear Travel Bug,
Oooohhh have you been itching me! I've just been dying to take a cruise to Mexico to tan on the beach, fly to New York to watch a broadway show, or rent a beautiful luxury villa in Turks & Caicos {I fell in love with the ones here}...just so I can escape and see the world! I need a vacation pronto, asap, post haste. Cruise at Christmas time and New York next summer maybe?

Dear Husband,
You have been working so hard. I'm trying my hardest to show my support by making your lunches every morning, washing your work clothes, and picking up band-aids for your blisters. I love you with all my heart and I'm so excited with all the progress and direction in our life together!

Dear 4th of July,
A complete BLAST. Amazing BBQ with family & friends, The Lone Ranger movie time, and a fireworks show. Couldn't ask for a better day!

Dear California,
I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with you. I soak in the warmth of the sun knowing that I won't feel it in a couple months! Granted, I'm sure when I'm done with my summer here, I'll be more than happy to return to my 'lil yellow brick house :)

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

{Mint polka dot nails & a bubble bath}

I don't know about you, but Mondays are always hard for me.
I get the post-weekend blues which are never fun!
Although, getting fun mail & doing my nails help in lifting my spirits :)

{Happy mail from SkincareRx}

Now I'm off to finish studying for my geology test so I can hurry up 

and take it before my family comes into town tonight!

Hope your Monday treats you well!
