Cheese fest nails!

   My family and I all participated in the 2nd 8th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational.  It was really fun though none of us placed but it was a fun day with the family.

   For my nails I wanted to do an easy simple color that was pretty and was cheesey at the same time.
   I reached for moms new Zoya Tanzy. I loved it so much! I got a lot of compliments and it was so sparkly in the sun, and it matched my snacks:)



The family and I took a break for a snack and to relax. So here are my nails and baby carrots. And I know you want a family picture so here we are:)


Mom and Russ in back, then Mitchell and me in front
 Have you guys ever competed in anything with your family?

I failed

   The other night I was feeling uninspired. So I had my bestie Rachel pick a color and she picked red.
  I went and grabbed Sooki from Zoya. What followed is a manicure of what I consider epic fail, I wore it a day because I knew I had to show you guys for the sake of well looking human lol!
  So here it is the fail:

 
   I scrapbook so I used the funky scissors for a manicure...HATED IT!!! Then I put glitter over the top just to distract myself.

   What was your worst Manicure?

This week was

the craziest week ever! But I am offloading pictures of it right now so you will have bloggy goodness:)

I have a fail mani, a cheese mani, a youtube video win mani. So got a few heading your way! You better be excited!

I am exhausted!

   So today my whole family competed in The 2nd 8th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational. It was fun but we were out from 10 am until 5:30 pm outside standing and in the sun!
   I am definitely a tired girl:)
  But tomorrow after easter family dinner I will be here with a first. A manicure that I think turned out HORRIBLY! Also I will show you guys what I wore to the Grilled Cheese Invitational:)
   See you guys tomorrow and have a great easter!

It's eat jellybeans and dye your fingers time!

   I love holidays, seriously how could you not? They are suppose to be all fun.
   I bring you my easter manicure! I brought out my pastels and I will admit this one takes a little more than my usual simple nails.

    For this one you will need pretty much the rainbow in pastels, a dotting tool ( or equivalent) and a nail art brush.
(L-R) no name HK, peachy keen, solar power,
minted, what's with the cattitude?, grape ice
    Now comes the part that takes some patience! i did the standard polka dots and stripes. I did do a nail that is for my Grandma. Every year she would have us dry our eggs on paper towels...like everyone does. But then she lays them out flat and lets them dry, then we use them for napkins for easter dinner. I always thought that was fun so I did a nail inspired by the easter napkins.

   

   The chicky was probably the easiest part actually. A big dot a little dot then an eye beak and two little legs:)

   Do you guys like pastels for Easter or do you guys get really tired of them and crave dark colors?

Sedar Supper and a few extras

    The Joshface ( the boyfriend) happens to be Jewish so this week was passover so we had the Sedar Supper.
   Now I was trying to decide how to paint my nails and I tried to get the Joshface to help me decide; I do not why I ask him this as he always ALWAYS tells me he doesn't know.
   So I asked my friend Nonny and she said blue and white.  I told her those were Hanukkah colors and she says, "They are Jewish colors"
   From there I went and based my manicure off The Daily Nail's Hodgepodge design.
   I liked it, mom definitely did not lol!
I actually used a paint brush for the first time

I also used my dotting tool for the dots;)

White-ish color is CQ2
Blue is Orlys Snowcone
Brown is China GLazes Ingrid


I will admit I really liked this manicure but doing the right hand was a pain! It turned out okay though!
   So I have a few other pictures just to share:)
This bookmark was made by a coworker out of polish.
Cute huh?

My strawberry sling purse which I thought I had lost:
FOUND IT!!

Jasmine Trees outside by where I work.
They smell AMAZING!!
Hope everyone is doing well! Anyone doing anything fun for the weekend?
 Also the Zoya earthday promo started so you should all go check that out!

I'm feeling a little blue

   Or a lot blue. So I was in a china glaze mood so I grabbed my basket with the colors and couldn't decide on one color. I just happen to have 5 of their blues so I put one on each finger.

     

   The colors I used from thumb to pinky: Midnight Mission, Frostbite, Dorothy Who?, Towel Boy Toy, For Audry.
   I did two coats of each and then a layer of top coat. I really liked this manicure and it was fun having my coworkers pick their favorite blue:)
