Fifty-Two Weeks

Joust Exiled Marsala Hi polish lovers! I am slowly but surely catching up to myself! So, without further delay, here is the Marsala inspired color of the week of February 8-14th. This is such a hott color! It was perfect for the week of Valentine's without being your typical red color. Also, kudos to Ulta brand once again! While not be a super 2 week lasting nail polish, this polish still performed. Joust Exiled was great for the Holiday week and was a color that I could wear to work without feeling childish. Its a modern color. Maybe that's why it was exiled ...because it was just to differently awesome. Like previously used Ulta polished, this one went of very smoothly, although it definitely needed two coats of color to look as sharp as it did. I also used a base and top coat polish to seal the deal for helping this polish last about 9 days.   If you want to grab a bottle of Joust Exiled , check out your local Ulta store, or the Ulta website ...

The Radiant Payton Hello! I hope everyone had a spectacular Valentine's Day with your friends, family or loved ones! I know that I did! I had a great visit from my boyfriend (that included chocolate) but I also got to see an amazing exhibit at the VMFA in Richmond and have dinner at one of my favorite dinner spots! Also, there was tons of snow where I live, so I had a great excuse to stay in, watch good movies, and also cook good food.  I got to see a great exhibit called Hollywood Costumes and it really made me think about the choices designers have to make when it comes to costume design. This also made me think about NAILS! Of course, right?! Would you consider painted nails a big decision choice when it comes to costumes? I think that I totally would! Maybe if we are lucky, this year they will feature movie stars with purple nail polish since it's the color of the year! Anyways, this week's color is a color that moves back into the purple category. It is a...

My Radiant Grace Hi!! This week I have another model! Also, I am using this post to help us gear up for Valentine's Day. This week's color is a beautiful Butter London polish and it was paired with a embellishment polish for a great Accent Nail!  This week's color is a Butter London pin called Primrose Hill Picnic. Check out these toes!! My good friend Grace came over for a pedicure and I painted her toes with this lovely color. Primrose Hill Picnic fits in well with the Radiant Orchid color of the year since Radiant Orchid is a color made up of Purples, Fuchsias and Pinks.  This Butter London color went on great but definitely needed two coats of polish to look superb. Later the following week, Grace was preparing for a Valentine's Day themed Arts workshop at the museum where we work, and she requested the same color for her finger nails! Unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to paint her nails, but she did a great job and even added a Accent Nail! ...
