Fat Tuesday - Hello Wednesday!

Totally missed my Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday opportunity to create something...but have no fear! Mardi Gras season is still upon us, so I'll be posting a few things. Just gotta figure out exactly what I want to do. Last year I gave up Reese's peanut butter cups and Pepsi for lent. (Don't Judge Me!) What are you giving up this year?

Tough As Nails - 'Princess Tinanos' edition

"Tough As Nails"


Who needs a nail salon when you can jazz up your own nails at home for muuuuuuch less than what they'd charge you.








It's really simple...


You'll need: Clear polish, nail gems, glitter or glitter polish, and nail glue or crazy glue.



  1.  Apply a coat of clear polish to your nails. and let dry.
  2. Apply A coat of glitter polish to your ring fingers, Let it dry.
  3. Take rhinestones, gems or whatever other nail art you have and apply it to your ring fingers with crazy glue...yes crazy glue. Let it set for a minute.
  4. Tape off the tips of your other nails, as if you're prepping for a French manicure. Apply a bit of clear polish in the space and dip your nail lightly in the glitter. Repeat for each finger. 
  5. Once the tips are a bit dry, apply a coat of polish to the tips and let that dry a bit.
  6. Finally, carefully remove the tape, add a final coat of clear polish to each nail, let it dry and you're done!
