grandma’s 80th birthday party requires curled locks, vibrant colors, bright bubbles, & classic stripes.

Nerdtastic Post of the Day: these pens are amazing.

i opened up a new package yesterday (containing all the lovely colors, of course)

& they are easily my new favorites.

while i still adore my Flairs,

these might be around [& refilled] for many months to come.

this weekend, i got shellac-ed.

as much as my color-loving heart adores painting & re-painting my nails in hues that match my mood,

frankly, i’m ready to switch up my routine.

enter, shellac.

i drove up to Noblesville on Saturday morning to Fancy Nails, a salon recommended by a dear friend because of their plethora of color choices.

of course, for my first trial round, i chose pink- neon pink to be exact.

a few days later, i’m in love.

no chips, no wear, still so very shiny.

i’m hoping they last for two weeks, 

& if not, well, i gave it a try.

i was due for a feisty change. Happy Fierce Friday!

who doesn’t need a pop of pink, green, navy, orange, yellow, turquoise, black, white, &/or purple on their wrist?
