Feather Mani

Good morning! I am happy for a fresh new week. Maybe that's because I actually slept last night! So I am back to (hopefully) redeem myself after yesterday's snoozefest of a post. I have been wanting to try this idea for forever and finally picked up some feathers at my local craft store. This is a fairly simple mani to acheive. 

The base for this is Color Club Soft as Cashmere. I know that this look is typically done by sticking the feather in wet topcoat, but my husband had the genius idea to use nail foil adhesive and that was 12487391 million times easier!! Once it's topped off with a nice, thick layer of topcoat, the effect is pretty awesome!

The other thing I loved about this is that it has staying power. I am on day 3 of this mani and the feathers haven't lifted or anything. 

I hope to find some more colorful feathers and try this again sometime. <3

Apple and Pumpkin Picking!!! 9/11

9/11--- Today we went apple and pumpkin picking.. and it was really fun!!! we've gone before but my son is 4 and its just an amazing age for this kind of stuff.. he loved it.. we went early in the day and then later we got hot dogs and then drove around..... seriously an amazing day for me lol it really hit me that we are adding to our family and even though I cannot wait till the baby is here to join in all the fun I definitely took advantage today of just hanging out with my two guys! 
9/11 affects me more than I ever thought it would... and today spending time with my family just made me appreciate life so much.. and how fortunate & proud I am to be an American!

For the nails .. base is Sephora by OPI "Run with it" I then used a Sally Hansen Quick Pen in "Gold " chrome with BM222 my accent finger was inspired by a post DuckDuckGander did HERE the leaves are from bm04 for the other nails the leaves are three colors.. konad special polish in red and yellow and OPI "Pampalona Purple"
