Happy May (insert Justin Timberlake meme)! Kind of crazy we’re nearly half way through the year already, but I have to admit, I’ve been enjoying 2017!
#OperationNailGrowth Update (6 Weeks)
Time for an Operation Nail Growth update!
I began really putting in the effort to grow my nails at the end of July (about 6 weeks ago)…and it’s paid off! I’ve done nothing particularly special other than be extra careful when doing anything with my hands – always wearing dish gloves, NOT using my nails as tools, and applying cuticle oil like crazy!
I’ve definitely seen some serious growth & have pretty much reached my ideal length; now it’s time for the tricky part – keeping them long & strong!
I’m thrilled to have my nails back. Growing them out takes some time & determination, but it’s definitely worth it!
I’m looking forward to my next mani [maybe on Thursday] so I can re-shape & give them a fresh coat of polish.
Do you have any nail growth tips?
Let me know below!

Valentines Day Inspired Mani
As you know, I am in love with my gel manicures– when I was home for the Superbowl I did the cutest Valentines Day inspired Gelish mani on my sister, and I couldn’t wait to share.
We used three Gelish mini colors:
Stand Out is more vibrantly red than the above image, we decided to paint that on her thumb and pinky nails, Rendezvous dries much more hot pink, we put that on her index and ring nails and Exhale, a light pink/mauve color went on her middle.
I love how this manicure came out- it’s still clean, but it has a fun twist. We even considered adding a small white heart to a couple of fingers.
Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays, and pairing it with a cute manicure makes it that much better. 🙂
What will your V-Day mani look like?
