Mani Monday: Bright Dots

Creme de la Creme Tiki Tiki Laranga Star Power

Happy President's Day friends!  I hope you all had a great Valentine's weekend and are enjoying the day off (I am so happy to have the hubs home for the day)!  I had such a fun weekend.  My sister, her husband, her 3 girls + a friend came to Billings and spent the weekend.  It was nice having some girls in this house for a change!  So of course, we did nails.  I was inspired by this post from one of my favorite bloggers, and though I'm no professional, I think they turned out pretty cute! My bracelet was from a vendor on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The falling leaves, the chilly breeze, the fresh-picked apples mean it's time for hayrides, pumpkin patches--time for Halloween!  This is from one of Colter's favorite Halloween books, and boy are we ready!  We skipped the hay ride this year and decided on a wagon ride instead...we had so much fun at the pumpkin patch.  We just watched Spookley the Square Pumpkin so Colter was determined to find a perfectly imperfect pumpkin, which made my heart swell. :)  Last time we came to the pumpkin patch, Colter was 6 months old.  We had fun looking through all of the pumpkins and racing through the corn maze, I'm sure we will make this an annual tradition going forward.  Next year, Levi will even get in on the race, although Daddy's shoulders weren't a bad spot either! 

Aren't the boys' hats and shirts SO cute?  I got them all at Target (my shirt and beanie too)!

A Jamberry Update

Hi Everyone!  I just thought I would hop on here and give you guys an update on my Jamberry Nails '7 Day Chip Challenge'.  So I have had my Jamberry Nail wraps on as accent nails for two weeks (tomorrow morning) and they still look great!  I have a little bit of regrowth, but not enough to bother me.  The regular nail polish is long gone and I've since repainted (earlier today) with gel polish.  My toes (with gel polish and accent wraps) still look as good as day one.  They have been through hot tubs and swimming pools on our South Dakota trip last weekend and everything!

There is still time to enter the Jamberry Nail wrap giveaway!!  Here's what you've got to do:

Jamberry Nails 7 Day Chip Challenge + Giveaway

Hi!  I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!  

I was contacted by Joanne, a lovely Jamberry Nail consultant to complete a '7 Day Chip Challenge'.  I was super excited since I've been wondering what Jamberry nails are all about.  The challenge was simple: Apply an accent nail to two fingers and paint the rest with regular polish.  Take a photo on day 1 and take another photo on day 7.  Joanne has a tutorial on how to apply the wraps on her facebook page, it's really easy (links to all this information at the bottom). 

I'm not a huge fan of regular nail polish, and mostly do my own gel polish.  I don't like how regular polish doesn't stay looking nice for very long, I'm a momma of two busy boys so when I take the time to do my nails, I want it to last.  Along with doing the 7 day chip challenge with regular polish on my fingers, I also did it on my toes using gel polish, since gel is what I usually use. You will see in the pictures below by the 7th day of regular polish it was wearing out on all the edges and had cracks running all through them.  The gel on my toes look pretty much as good as they did on day one.  I can see myself using Jamberry nail wraps for an accent nail a lot when using gels and when I want to give my nails a break from gel I would do the entire set of nails with Jamberry wraps.  I have tiny nails, so I actually got two fingers and two toes out of one (Flirty Flare) wrap!! 

Here are some of my other favorite Jamberry Nail wraps (I had a really hard time narrowing it down to these): 
Kiss Me Ombre 
Mint Green & Gold Horizontal Pinstripe
Nautical
Reminisce
