so i am kinda the worst about writing posts...and then not publishing them! this past week i've been working hard to declutter my desktop, which led me to look through all the draft posts saved here for my blog. there are way more than i thought! anyways, here's some nails i did this past summer. what can i say? they were fun and i'm a sucker for pink.

wanted my nails to feel a little more in the Halloween spirit this week, so here's what i put together. some nail decals cut with my Silhouette SD and they're lookin' better already.

go here to see last year's Halloween nails!

and here's the Silhouette file if you'd like to cut out your own:

fall has arrived and i'm busting out more of the neutrals. today i've gone with gold and white, while using a leaf decal i cut using my Silhouette, along with some nail tape.
here's the file to download, to create your own look:

does it feel weird to anyone else that it's July already? it totally doesn't feel like the holiday weekend is coming up...but maybe that's just me? maybe i will feel more "festive" once i finally pack for our mini getaway this weekend! (packing is the woooooorst.....)

i have a quick nail art idea today, along with the Silhouette file i created, so that you can create your ow…

my nails shared today were inspired by this pin. i've been loving the plus symbol i've seen floating around in random decor lately, so i decided to capture it in some nail art. and i was loving the chevron pattern from these previous nails, so i kept them on but changed it up slightly.



the colors: • salon perfect: silver sparkler (#603) • pure ice: beware • new york color: french tip white (…

yeah i know. what else is new? pink and glitter...glitter and pink. i come back to them every time. these nails aren't new or original by any means. i saw the idea on Pinterest here, and wanted them for myself. the black chevron might be my favorite part, and these Salon Perfect polishes are not disappointing :)

aaannnnd in case you wanted to create the same look, i included a Silhouette file…

when it comes to the NFL i'm a Broncos fan by marriage, which is kind of handy because i happened to grow up in Boise and am also a Boise Broncos fan. win-win right? that's at least what i thought when i was doing these nails! i meant to have these nails done in time for the Sunday game (they won by the way-hurrah!), but of course didn't get to them until now. i actually did these to…

i love bows. i think they are so feminine and pretty. do you remember these cute rings i fell in love with a couple years ago? yes still love them and wear them. cutting these out with my Silhouette was a no-brainer, especially when i grabbed my Salon Perfect glitter polish. glitter and bows for the holiday? yes please!

the colors i used:
• salon perfect: silver sparkler (#603)
• pure ice: bewa…

i know. i am the worst blogger ever. and i have no excuse for not writing EXCEPT that i have been wanting to spend every second with my babes and hubby lately. it's this holiday mood i tell ya (or in my case, this spring/summer/fall mood.ha). i just LOVE THEM and know that these early years are so important and impressionable on them, and the last thing i want is for them to remember me as a…

happy halloween! i'm sooo excited and can't wait to dress up the littles and go see grandparents in a bit! but i wanted to drop by here and show you what my nails have been looking like this week. pretty simple, but fun. i used my Silhouette to cut out the decals, and some nail tape for the stripes.

i did these nails over the summer while living with my parents, in between our crazy moving and house hunting schedule (it was nuts you guys). i used the decals that i had created from this post, and this polish:

yep, it's my favorite summer go-to color, flip flop fantasy. i just love it. the taupe color on my ring fingers is Essie: sand tropez. and that mini notepad with the houndstooth pri…

if i'm being honest: these nails i'm sharing with you today, i did 3 months ago. during naptime (or at like 11pm-i can't remember). but i used the decals i created with my Silhouette machine, from this post (still love that i figured that trick out!).



i loved this look for summer, and already need to make some cute decals for fall!
