Nailed It! Giveaway

I love the idea of chevron nail art, but after spending several hours on my last attempt I knew there had to be an easier way. After participating in Mani Monday for several weeks, I noticed these awesome manicures with chevrons and knew I had to get some of my own. I purchased a sheet of chevrons and a sheet of bows from  Made by Munchie's Mama and I'm so excited about the way it turned out!

Traffic Stopper Copper

The best part about nail posts is that the titles really write themselves! ;)

I know we're in the middle of summer, so brights and pastels are the go-to choice for manicures...but I'm already longing for Fall so my nails are getting ready early.

Last week I mentioned that I started using Seche Vite top coat - I really like it! It dries quick (no bedtime smudges), and I didn't have a single chip until Friday. I highly recommend it.

No Place Like Chrome

I had two nails break this weekend, so even though I just did my nails on Thursday, I had the perfect opportunity to try out some of my new polishes. I've been eying up metallic nail polishes {like this one} for a while so when I saw that Essie was coming out with a new metallics line, I was so excited! I picked up a bottle today at Target. Its not a perfect metal like the pictures, but it does the job. If you try this out, don't be discouraged by the first coat - the bumps and scraps are smoothed out by a second coat.

What do you think? Are you going to try out one of the new metallic polishes?

Silver: Essie No Place like Chrome

Blue: Loose Glitter covered with Orly Spazmatic

I also purchased Orly Spazmatic and the Seche Vite top coat that I've heard so much. I'll be sure to report back on if it lives up to its reputation!
