Paint my toe nails a couple times a week sometimes usually Monday or Tuesday then sometimes on Friday if I am going out and want the polish to match shoes or outfit. I go for a pedicure at salon every two weeks but mostly just for the scrubbing and cleaning up usually get clear polish sometimes a French cause I don't usually keep the color cause I like to paint my own. I have over two hundred polishes of my own so I always have a color I want to try or something that looks amazing with shoes or an outfit.
This past weekend I went for turquoise color by Butter London called Slapper. I haven't worn this color yet but love it. I like bright, dark or bold colors and sometimes settle for a French but more natural looking French not pink cause I have a foot fetish always like my toes to be seen and living in Florida I wear a lot of flip flops and sandals.
I applied a base coat of Butter London nail foundation, then two thin coats, could have done one coat cause polish covered amazing but wanted a little brighter:). Two coats of Butter London Slapper then Poshe quick dry top coat. If I don't decide to change the polish for color change or new look my toe polish will last two weeks. Rarely ever chips just new growth looks tacky to me lol.
Excited to start wearing blues, whites, reds, greens, metallic colors and more for holidays. I love winter/Christmas time. Got some fashion and jewelry accessory finds to write up and post also then working on photos of the dresser I finished also my master bedroom makeover and daughter/guest bathroom makeovers:). Lots of posts to come and by this weekend will have the new contest posted with Joby nail art decals, coupon and some mini Poshe top coat and orly polishes. Enjoy pedicure pics and I have the new attachment for my phone with 3 in 1 lense just always forget it lol. It takes much clearer close up photos with micro lense and want to show you some. I used it for the Joby owl sticker close ups. Off to get some photos of my jewelry and fall/winter wardrobe additions all amazing deals from Kohl's and then my new Marc Jacobs finds from eBay will be here soon. Can't wait:)!

Mid week Mani and Pedi
Here are some quick photos of my mid week polish change manicure and pedicure. Broke a nail so filed them down and am sad to see them stubs but like then shorter when I have to bake. Easier to work with fondant when nails are shorter.
On my toes I did Zoya Raven two coats with one coat of my Essie Matte about you. Then I did a French tip using one coat of the Raven a topped tip with out the door, my new go to fast dry top coat. I have used seche, Sally Hansen and poshe. My #1 was always a toss up between Sally Hansen and Posche. Usually Sally Hansen cause it is the less expensive but a friend recommended this Out The Door so I checked it out and for the price it is worth it. Seche dries quick but to thick i get scratches and a lot of shrinkage when I use it. This out the door dries fast, has shine and so far I have used it a couple times and been very happy. My Disney manicure lasted till I removed it which was like four days but would have lasted longer.
Now quickly on to hands, I used the OPI Oktoberfest new fall color, one coat amazing coverage! Then topped one nail accidentally middle finger, I usually do pointer or ring finger but swatched the colors earlier and did sample on my middle didn't want to remove it so just did same on opposite hand, with Essie Luxe Effects. I am obsessed with this Essie lol. It's called Shine of the times and it looks iridescent but changes color to almost blend perfect with every polish I use it on.
Check out my photos and leave me some feedback or comments please:).
Only two more days till weekend. In a week I celebrate 14 years of marriage. Amazing how time flies. Will have to do a special polish for the occasion, we were going to the keys to a island with all inclusive resort but due to my mom's accident have had to postpone till she is better. I am good with that I have a hard time leaving my girls for a couple days I have attachment issues lol. Happy shopping and hunting
