Fa-La-La-La lawless Holiday Nails!!

So I have been in the holiday spirit for quite some time now! Christmas is my favorite time of year (minus all that cold). And in the holiday spirit I have come up with some fun new looks:

You can find all of the colors in previous posts on my blog or feel free to comment and I will get back with you! I buy my polishes from different places such as Wal-Mart, Target, ULTA, Sally Beauty Supply, etc.

Happy Holidays and Happy Painting!!!

XOXO,

I've SPOTTED a new look!

So I went through a zebra phase and now I am all about leopard!!

Here is my new favorite look:

 Here I used Cover Girl's Outlast Nail Color in Black Diamond, Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Platinum, and Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Wedding Glitters.

Happy Painting!

XOXO,

Scared Trendy...

Ok, so maybe no one can actually be scared into being trendy but seeing as Halloween is right around the corner, I couldn't resist the catchy title. 

So here is what I have had going on lately:

 This is one that I did just for fun! I thought it was pretty simple put pretty! I am all about the bling!

Onto the holiday looks:

Here is a more plain yet fun look!

 

 And of course a bit of bling to spice it up a bit!

Onto more of a Halloween look:

 Plain here.

 Bling here!

It's all about what suits your taste and what look you are going for!  I will have some more fun looks to add in a few days!

Onto other things I have been up to:

My sister sent me a picture of a girl's ghost costume and asked me to make it for my niece...well...here's the finished product:

 I can't wait to post the pic of her in it! She is going to look adorable!!

And this is just something that I pulled together...

(bad pic...sorry!)

This outfit will be matched with a bow for the dress and hair in different colors. The colors I used were (yellow with white polka dots, Crimson Red, and I am working on a Teal, but you could do whatever color suits your fancy!) I bought a 2T white shirt and made a skirt and sewed it up! (i don't have a pattern...i just kind of winged it...not ideal but it turned out cute!)

What sort of projects keep you busy? And what kind of  neat looks have you come up with?

XOXO,

My 4 Month Hiatus....

Hello to my lovely followers and onlookers! It took me a few months to find the gumption to get back on here because..well...it's been a rough few months...but...I AM BACK!! I have a few looks to show you that I have done over the past few months:

 

I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below! Happy Painting!!

XOXO,

Dealing with Sorrow...

I am sorry I haven't been around lately. It's been a pretty sad time around our house lately. My husband's grandmother is in the final stages of her life and it has taken a pretty big toll on me. I know that she has lived a good, long life, but it doesn't hurt any less and it doesn't prepare me any more for what is about to come. All I know is that I have a God that I can rely on to give me strength, peace, and comfort to get through this emotional time. Please keep our family in your prayers. I will be back soon! 

XOXO,

My New Favorite Look!

I have been sporting this look for a couple of weeks now and I am loving it! I keep getting compliment after compliment so it's about time I sat down and showed you!

These are the same colors just two different ways! It was SUPER simple! I used Essie's Tart Deco...which shows up as an orange in pictures but I can assure you it's more of a pretty coral color! It is an absolutely fabulous color that makes any skin look more tan...and trust me..I am the whitest girl out there so I am all over this color! I used the leopard stickers by Kiss. These are only $3 girls! Head to your local Dollar General and pick up a ton of cute designs...much better price than the normal $8!

I hope you girls enjoyed your Easter as much as I did!

XOXO,

Exhausted...

This seems to be the theme of this week for me! I absolutely cannot get enough sleep, I can't seem to find my brain...or at least I can't catch up to it, my heart is heavy, and I can't seem to get my emotions in check.

 

(Can I get an amen?)

Some days, being a girl is not that glamorous. I know you have all had days like this...unless you are super woman...which if you were...you need to blog all your secrets and help the rest of us sisters out!!

Anyway...I am not good at pretending that my life is always in order. My emotions can be read all over my face...which is not always a good thing...but I am me and I am so glad that people accept me for who I am, despite all the imperfections that I possess. One of the things that I have learned is exercise is great, venting to a girlfriend, your Mom, your sister, or anyone else that will listen is awesome, AND the most life changing course of action is prayer. I seriously cannot pray enough. There is a certain peace that comes with that interaction with God...especially if you can truly give everything over to Him...which is hard to do because who doesn't want to be in control of their life? I know I do...and it takes several reminders (sometimes just in one day) to realize that if I just let go and fully rely on Him that it will work out far better than I could ever imagine. If you find yourself not so much the praying type...I just encourage you to give it a try. Be open to the prayers that are answered (no is an answer too...this one is hard to swallow sometimes..we are human...we want things to go our way!). So I sit here and say all of that to say...I am giving it up to God. Everything that is kidnapping my mind and energy I am handing over with peace that everything is going to be alright. (You started singing that song didn't you?) 

I know this is not one of my typical posts...it's not glamorous, pretty, or even fun but it's a part of life isn't it? And I know that you girls can relate to my ever so swaying emotions, sleep deprivation, and heavy heart. 

What are some of the ways you deal? Got any secrets to share?

XOXO,
