Blue is the hue...

This week, while shopping at Target, i came across two shades of blue polish that really spoke to me.  In fact, i had such a hard time deciding which to purchase, that i decided to get both!  That's how i problem solve... not always the most efficient but certainly makes this indecisive person's job a lot easier!  I knew immediately when i placed them next to one other, that these two tones complemented each other perfectly.  One was 'club prive 105 by L'OREAL, and the other was 'Fairy Princess 26' by Sonia Kashuk.  That night, after putting the girls to bed (this is my manicure time), i opted to create a pattern with my two new polishes.  When finished, i added my favorite sparkle polish which you've seen me use a thousand times because i love it that much (Only Gold For Me by OPI for Sephora).  I was so pleased with the way this manicure turned out.  The blues were leaning more towards turquoise and sea foam which i have to say really remind me of the Caribbean ocean which i LOVE!  I'd say since i won't be dipping my feet in that pretty turquoise water until the end of June, this was a fun way to bring some of that Caribbean beauty to me!  What do you think?

Seeing Blue

Summer is just around the corner and I'm so excited that we finally booked out Summer vacation to the gorgeous island of Curacao.  I have visions of beautiful turquoise water, sand on my toes, sipping tropical drinks, relaxing... oh wait, my little twinadoes are coming along so there probably won't be much relaxing going on.  However, there will be beautiful memories made and the turquoise water will still be just that... turquoise right?  So I'm feeling a bit inspired or perhaps I'm just anxious for Summer to finally arrive so we can pack up and go!  So this manicure is my little tribute to our upcoming vacation.  Doesn't it kind of look like the Caribbean ocean? 

I used a few of my favorite nail polish brands for this manicure.  First, i applied Butter London in Slapper which is a gorgeous turquoise blue.  I must mention that this brand is vegan and environmentally friendly.  Next, i applied Deborah Lippmann's Mermaid Dreams (which is an uber popular color right now) solely on my ring finger.  In fact, it took a while before i was able to snatch a bottle because it was back ordered for a while.  Lastly, i applied OPI for Sephora in Only Gold For Me also on my ring finger.
