Leopard Spot toe nail art


 Fun nail art can give your toes a unique look. Using an animal print pattern lets you show off your wild side if you don't want to wear a full leopard print outfit.

Step 1: Clean your nails

Step 2: Coat nails with primer

Step 3: Paint nails with desired color.  Use a cream/tan color if you want the traditional leopard print.  Or you can use a fun color (in this case I used OPI's...Do you lilac it?

Step 4: Add spots once this coat is dry.  You will need two colors to do this: in this example, black & gold were used. Using the dark color, make a small circle shape. Add a smaller circle shape of the light color in the middle of the circle.  I used Sally Hansen's nail art pens.

Step 5: Top with a clear coat once the spots are dry.

Be creative with your color choices & have FUN!

Pearls = Elegance & Funk


Inspiration

Pearls have a certain appeal and celebrities have been wearing them recently, celebrities young and old.  Not only are the classic pearl necklaces back, but young celebs have been wearing pearls as funky accessories.  My favorite look is the long strand for more of a bohemian look.

I created my own pearl necklace with matching bracelet.  I bought a bag of plastic pearl looking beads from the craft store & used fishing wire as my strand for the beads.  I also had some beads left over to make two bracelets and tied a black ribbon to combine them.  I think it turned out pretty good...can't wait to wear it to work today!

Here is what I came up with. Too Cute!

Easy Morning


My time getting ready today was cut in half when all I had to do to my hair this morning was add a few extra bobby pins to the style that I had the day before.  Shannon did a great job doing my hair yesterday evening that I wanted to keep it for a while longer...thanks Shannon :)
