Dry Brush Tutorial!

Another tutorial here for you guys! I love a dry brush mani, they look great and they're so simple. I've collaborated with The Wonder Forest again to give you a step-by-step tutorial on how to do them. Try them out!

Mara Hoffman Bikini Nails!

It's been so hot! But summer is my favorite, so I don't mind. It just means more pool time! Every summer I like to do a mani to match one of my bathing suits. You can check out last years here and the year before that here.

This year I have another Mara Hoffman pattern. All her patterns are amazing, but I had to have this particular bikini because it reminds me of the "Sea of Holes" from The Beatles movie "Yellow Submarine," which is a favorite of mine. Except this would be the rainbow "Sea of Holes," so, even better!

Bomb Pop Nails!

Here is my other patriotic manicure guys! I did these for a patriotic pub crawl. I just made short little strokes of various shades of red, white & blue, and some silver as well as a bit of glitter. I really loved these, they ended up reminding me of bomb pops. Yummm!

I used:

• OPI: Eurso Euro
• OPI: Alpine Snow
• OPI: My Favorite Ornament
• OPI: Vodka & Caviar
• OPI: Getting Miss Piggy With It
• Essie: Coat Azure
• Essie: Hip-Anema
• Seche Vite: Dry Fast Top Coat

Fourth of July Nails

Hi there! Long time no see. I'm a bit late, but I was off from work last week for the 4th of July holiday, and I jam packed that week full of activities, so I didn't have time to post here. I did post to Instagram though!

I went up to Maine for the holiday weekend, and spent the rest of my week on a whale watch, at a water park, by the pool with family, and pub crawling :)

But I did make time to actually do my nails! I always love doing my nails for the 4th of July, I love the red, white & blue combo, and it only feels right to do them around the holiday. I actually did 2 mani's this year, one for the 4th, and one for the following weekend when I did a patriotic pub crawl. I'm only going to show you one today, as well as a cute little mani I did for a friend for the holiday as well.

Mine are similar to the ones I did last year. Did it totally freehand too!

I used:

• OPI: Alpine Snow
• OPI: Vodka & Caviar
• OPI: Eurso Euro
• Seche Vite: Dry Fast Top Coat

Did this patriotic mani for a friend!
