Sara and Maddie are almost finished with school too! My girlz and I are gonna hit the styling world with a force!! After all the hard work we did its time for a little goofing off!! :D

Never a dull moment when Kats around either!! 

These girls grabbed our practice hands and the laughs never ended!!

North Florida Academy has been my home away from home for the past year. I have learned so much and made some really great friends. The memories from school will always be with me.

Breast Cancer Awareness

I worked on a project to do some nail designs for Breast Cancer Awareness and Jacksonville Jaguars. 

My favorite was this one with sculpted glitter acrylic pink ribbon!! I'm so glad there are so many people now promoting awareness of Breast Cancer and working towards a cure!!

These designs were chosen to be used in the ad for my school, North Florida Academy. The ad was in the Mint Magazine, I'm official! I'm Published!! :D

I worked on another design in memory of 9/11. Always remember the heroes!!

Happy October Everyone!! Happy Polishing!!

Gold and Caviar!

One thing I love about nail art these days is there are no rules and there are so many new polishes and products that give you unlimited options.

 My latest splurge was for the new .007 Skyfall movies collection that OPI has put out. And top of the list is the "Man with the Golden Gun" topcoat that has pieces of 24K gold in it!! Such a luxury!!

I did a Pedicure with OPIs Suzi Likes Cowboys as my base color and accented my big toe with the Golden Gun gold fleck polish!! 

And whats as luxurious as Gold? Caviar!!! The caviar nail style is a unique treatment for a special occasion! I did not use the Ciate brand that developed this look. I used clear microbeads to get the style. The clear beads are kinda cool because they pick up the color of the polish  use as a base! 

It is not recommended to use a top coat with the caviar look because it takes away from the texture the beads create. I tried it with and without but liked the look better without. It stayed on my toe pretty well for over a week, but not my finger. If your someone that picks at rough sots on your nail this look is not for you. I picked all the beads off by the next day!!! lol

Looking for more inspirations!! Happy Polishing!!
