Mother's Day Manicure

O.P.I. Alpine Snow, White Glitter Born Pretty Store

I was able to take time and actually do my nails on Mother's Day. That was a nice pressie from my boys! This looked a lot better in person on the first day, but as it wore off, not so much. Also, even though I used topcoat, my nails felt like they were covered in sandpaper. I got rid of this mani long before it chipped, which is not common for me.

Look of the day

Cardigan Chadwicks
Shirt Dickies
Skirt Ellen tracy
Tights Chadwicks
Shoes Fluevog

It's the end of May, but it's been rainy and cold lately. I thought that I was done with wearing tights, but I got to haul them out this week!

Yay! I love tights!

I can't wear these Fluevogs without hose, so it was nice to haul these beauties out of the closet too.

In other news, look how long and shaggy my hair is getting. I'm at the point where I have to use product, a round brush, blow dryer, and flat iron in order to have it behave properly. My 'doin' my 'do' time hast gone from zero to twenty minutes.

I'm sad about this, but it was my choice to grow my hair out, so I guess I get to live with my choice.

Here is my pedicure while I was in Oahu with my brother. This is also a view of what I did every night while there. It was most lovely, and my niece and nephew are adorable!

I went to Oahu to help my brother and sister-in-law with their kids while they attended a wedding. It was wonderful. Since I was invited to the wedding, I wanted to have something lovely on my nails. This was it.

Blue and Gold

This was my manicure for the Blue and Gold banquet. The Blue and Gold banquet is the "birthday party" for the Cub Scouts and I'm a Cubmaster. This was my tribute. No one noticed.

My thumb was my favorite

Julep - Glenn

This gorgeous red I got from my Julep Valentine's mystery box. What a color! I love everything red and this is the perfect deep cranberry red.

Did I mention that I love it? This will definitely be another one of my go-to reds!

O.P.I. Yoga-ta Get This Blue

I don't have many blues in my collection, but I wanted a Navy and found a good one here.

It's not quite as dark as I would like, and has a bit of sparkle to it and I would have wished for a creme, but it looks great with a matte top coat!
