Falling for Fall....


Break out the Pumpkin Spice Latte! Feel the slight chill in the air. Fall is just around the corner and my favorite time of year!
This week's color combo: 
Sinful Colors: Rich in heart (left) Sephora by OPI 212


I love the rich colors together

This is my favorite nail polish in my entire collection. Yes, I will admit a 10 dollar bottle of nail polish is a bit of a splurge for me, but I love it!

Indian Summer

(photo curtesy of Discover Bay Museum)


Today the blowing white fog gaves us a break and the Sun shined bright! San Francisco is known for its indian summers, so our summer is about to start! 
I was inspired today by the warm sun, I needed some sparkle in my life! 


My purchase of today, Cosmetic Arts.

I can not locate the name of this pretty sparkly , Pink polish.
I paired this with a bottom color

L.A Colors in Raspberry 


A little bling for me!

Nail Aid is Awesome


I have always been on the look out for a great top coat and I think I may have found one! 
Nail Aid Care  I decided to give it a try, since I have a hard time growing my nails. 
Survey says:  it Works!! and works well as a top coat. 


Here is a picture of my 6 day old nails, Chip free! 
My nails feel a bit stronger and have grown a big longer.
I would strongly recommend this product :)

oh La Mer!

Summer has officially begun! bring on the vibrant colors and the sunshine! My weekend was full of fun times by the sea. Here is a couple of snap shots I took


                                                          a beautiful point by my home


                                                                          The lovely coast of Pacifica 


The Sparkling blue sea has inspired me for my next nail design. Gradient Polkadots on a baby blue polish, a simple design with the use of a dotting tool. 




oh la Mer: Basecoat, Nobi: Baby Blue. Accent:  Kleancolor: Retro Green, NYC: sidewalkers

For the base color: Unforgettable Moments Grape Gray. The pink flower: N.Y.C Uptown. The Purple Flower: Wet n Wild Megalast Disturbia.

Inspiration: Japan!


The other day I was looking around my place for "Nail art inspirations". I came across a Kimono I received as a gift from my Husband via Japan. It was perfect!  I was able to use my nail stamp design kit for the pattern. I definitely need more practice on the stamp!

Summer Lovin


The official start of Summer is just around the corner! (June 20th) Do you have your favorite colors ready for the season? I do! Here are my favorite shades for summer. I always seemed to gravitate towards the Neon colors for summer. It's bright and makes your summer tan just POP! as for me I will be stuck in the Fog in San Francisco this summer, but Secretly I am craving some heat!
