Hey everyone! We are snowed in here in Minnesota tonight but that's not stopping me from getting my work done! One trend that I might just have to try out for myself is the knuckle rings. You can wear them just as they are shown in the photos here otherwise knuckle rings are also known as those large rings that have a long design that cover about half of your finger. If you don't like something so gaudy, then these smaller rings are perfect =)

Wear them out for any occasion. They compliment manicures as well =)
Check out my links for places to look/purchase them. I couldn't find these smaller knuckle rings at my local Target, Walmart, or online at Claire's just yet but that doesn't mean you won't find them there the next time you go shopping.

A quick guide to DIY nail art

 

 

 

I went to Sally Beauty Supply and purchased one of their packs of nail art. It came with multiple color choices of glitter and matching colors of tiny bits of shells. I also purchased Orly's base coat + top coat polish to help finish the job. Here is a super quick guide on how I managed to create my own nail art in a time crunch!

Paint your nails any color of your choice. I chose this by Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear:

 

 

It tried too fast for me to get to start decorating so I applied a layer of Orly as I mentioned above. I sprinkled on a thin layer of glitter on to my thumb and one finger of my choice. I personally usually prefer to just style one or two of my nails. Call me weird ha ha but its a trend I like!

Next I took the little wooden tool that came with the kit and I dipped it in my Orly bottle to get it sticky then I dipped it into the bag. Whatever shell bits that stuck to it I placed onto my nails. Once I was done I covered It with another top coat of Orly. Now, so far the nail art shell bits have did OK with staying glued on. The lady at Sally's who helped me pick everything out said that would be all I would need to keep everything glued on. If not, Ill be back for a different bonder.

Here is a link to my exact kit:

Here is the end results! Don't mind my painted skin, ha ha I didn't clean up quite yet =) Also my nail polish remover is why my finger nail tips are white.  

 

It looks way cute in person and was really easy to do! I did it all while on a time crunch!

 

Spring fashion ideas pt 1

 

I know its not even valentines day let alone spring but I can't help but to think about it as we started to get slammed by a big snow storm, ha ha. Plus, stores are already putting out their summer items. Even Target has out their BBQ gear and children's beach toys! I know this because their toys for the beach such as little boats work great for the bathtub too! Just figured any moms out there might want to consider that for your little toddlers.

Anyways, this spring I plan on going with a county theme. Last spring Indian patterns were really hot. I'm going to try my luck at rocking some cowboy boots (with a little edgy style to them) and some flowered tops and hand crafted jewelry. Something I'm not normally in to but you only live once. I'm not afraid to make some change! I am a rocker at heart as I have said before so I'm sure whatever I'm wearing, even if its a flower pattern, I will also have my black hair or studded boots on =)

 

 

 

 One thing that I love is a good old plaid button up shirt and a glam'd up touch to the outfit. I got this shirt from Target on the 70% off clearance rack and I just so happened to have some jewelry from Rue 21 that was the exact same color. Two totally different styles but I'm able to pull them together! All that's missing is bronzed skin and a fruity drink in hand! I also purchased a beach wave hot styling tool by Revlon from Walmart which is just like those triple barrel wave tools only the three barrels on this are a little larger. I'm a fan and ill be giving a friend my old triple barrel after this =) Thanks for reading my blog and don't forget to check back for parts 2 and maybe 3! I'm sure I will find a lot more spring/summer fashion ideas to blog about by the time the seasons change!

 

Check out these boots from Rock and Republic at Kohls. I have the same one's only in tan/brown for this summer =) Love them!
