Trust Fund Beauty Elegantly Wasted

Hey guys & gals! I have a polish today that I am super excited about. I have wanted to try the brand Trust Fund Beauty for a while now, but always forgot when I was buying stuff on-line. I got a bottle in my September Glam Bag from Ipsy and am now totally hooked. One of the reasons I love Ipsy so much is that I get to try out really good stuff that I either forgot about or never thought to try (still loving the LA Fresh Good Night cream omg).

So I wore this beauty for a few days (it is even making an appearance in my TT mani for tomorrow) and am totally smitten!

Neon Green Waves

Hi friends! Well I actually did it. I pulled out my brushes and did some intricate free hand nail art! I had this mani from Sarah at Chalkboard Nails pinned for ever and since I have all the awesome neons (except the blue) from KBShimmer sitting on my desk, I figured I might as well play!

Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired By Your BFF

Hi guys! quick TT post today. This week's theme is inspired by our BFFs. I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful group of ladies who support me, inspire me and make me smile on a daily basis. So this many is for all of them.

Twinsie Tuesday: Ocean Inspired

Hey everyone! I am trying to get back into this blogging thing - though still feeling a need to take it slow. So for right now, I am sticking with Twinsie Tuesday themes and the occasional swatch/review post until I feel more comfortable posting (and all the extra stuff that goes along with posting) on a regular basis. I took the time off to spend the last few weeks of summer with my family but, ultimately, I think I was on the verge of being burnt out. Taking a break has done a lot of good, but I'm still not ready to through myself back into the furnace quite yet. I understand if that's not something you want to deal with, but I do appreciate those of you who do stick around and are patient.

For this week's theme, the Twinsies are posting nail art inspired by the ocean. As it so happened, I had saved this mani on Pinterest a while back and immediately knew it would be my inspiration for today's post.

Used:

Look Nail Color - Oh Say Can You See

China Glaze - Water You Waiting For

Look Nail Color - Broad Stripes, Bright Stars

MoYou London - Sailor Collection #3

I am a sucker for a good jelly sandwich and the idea of putting a stamped design over the top is just perfection! I am also really happy to have the first nail art attempt in a very long while turn out so nicely. 

And as always, be sure to check out all the lovely ladies of the Twinsie Tuesday nail art group and their oceanic inspired nail art!

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Miss Wanderlust and Miracle Gel Top Coat Reformulation

Oh, hey there! It has been a while! I actually have a post today - with nail polish! I do apologize for the abrupt absence, but I felt the need to step back and focus on other things for a while. I have been working on my novel quite a bit and have hit the half way point to my word count goal! It's very exciting! I have also been doing the mom thing all summer long, full of play dates and park trips and a few excursions to a nice cool watering hole when the Texas heat just gets too much for us. 

I'm not saying that I am back full force yet, but I am saying that I'm not gone for good either. In fact, I actually have some nail art on my digits and i am pretty stoked, you guys! But today's post is the standard swatch/review. Baby steps, right?!
