My Mother's Day Manicure

I wanted to get my weekend manicure out of the way and decided to change it up and instead of doing a french or all over color I would put together 2 of my favorite nude colors.  I have to say I have gotten really good at painting my own nails especially the vast improvement with using the opposite hand lol which I know is hard for everyone even if you are a nail tech.  I wish all the mommy's a wonderful Mother's Day :)

The Easiest Way To Give Yourself A French Manicure

That week I went to the International Beauty show at NYC and Discovered this manicure set that makes the french manicure a breeze and it will last up to 1 week.  The product is from Dashing Diva Professional and its called the "French wrap Manicure" it guarantee's no chipping, long lasting, and a perfect smile line every time.  This kit contains 140 french wraps for short nails, 140 french wraps for long nails,  brush on nail glue,  base seal,  fast drying top coat,  pink sponge file,  white broad file,  customers size card,  table tent,  and full instructions,  and its enough product for over 20 french manicures all for $36.99 from CosMoProfs lol I sound like a cheesy sales man :)  I decided to try the kit out today ( and yes I brought it with my own money)  and had to tell you it is the EASIEST,  I applied the french nail wraps to myself in about 10 minutes so I can only imagine its going to be even easier to apply this on a customer.  I am most definitely going to film a tutorial on how to apply the wraps soon but I wanted to try it first.  Until the below I will post images of the packing and my finished nails,  hope you check it out.  God Bless and have a wonderful week <3

P.S.  Easy squeezy lemon peazy lol.

NYX THE CRIMSON AMULET COLLECTION INSPIRED BY THE MOVIE DARK SHADOWS

New Magnetic Nail polish

I took advantage of Sally's buy 2 polishes get 1 free in their April ad,  I brought 2 China glaze and decided to try FingerPaints magnetic nail color in "Steel of the night" retails for $6.99 which is a great price considering China glaze has the same concept but the magnet comes separate and its just as much as the nail polish @ sally's its $5.99 polish and $5.99 for magnet also Sephora has the brand nails inc. which retails for $16.99 and the packing looks exactly like the FingerPaints ( I'll post pics of both).  Anyway it is basically a grey metal color and when you use the magnet you get a black wave and it works pretty well the only nail I had a problem with was the thumb but it gave a cool 3D effect and the polish is very opaque.  Let me know if you try out these polishes and how they worked for you.  Also let me know if anyone would like me to do a nail tutorial for youtube.com.  God bless and have a wonderful week <3

 fingerpaints "steel of the night" available at sally's for $6.99

My First Wedding

So by the title you are probably thinking this post is going to be about my wedding but I fooled you or maybe I didn't,  but this post is about the first wedding I've done hair for,  The bride's name is Dana and I was referred to her by Erin a wonderful friend from school.  I created hairstyles for 3 of her bridesmaids,  the experience was fun and they are all so nice.  Below I have side and back views of 2 bridesmaids unfortunately I will have to upload the 3rd later on because I wasn't able to take the picture before she left :(  but the Dana said she would get me the images so Wooohooo lol.  This experience was one that I won't forget and I'm so thankful for the opportunity.  I pray that Dana and her husband have a wonderful and blessed marriage <3

This is the hairstyle that was similar to the third bridesmaid
