DIY: Chevron nails (amateur hour)

DIY: Chevron Nails

I love painting my nails and trying different colors

but I'm usually pretty boring when it comes to 

patterns or anything different than just applying coats

So since I am on spring break and have the time

I thought why not "be bold".

(( you'll probably laugh at the colors I picked, not bold by any means ))

And recently, the chevron pattern has caught my eye.
It reminds me of the 70's, which is in for Spring.

So grab some colors and give it a try!

Here is what you will need:

- 2 colors (one light, one dark)

- a clear top coat

- nail polish remover and q-tips for clean up

- a small detail paint brush

- clean nails ♥

I'm not going to lie, you need to have a stead hand,

& patients

but when you're done, you can't help but be a little proud of yourself : ]

I hope you enjoyed my 1st DIY.

Happy Tuesday

ready for Halloween?

I love Halloween!

there is just something about the whole month of October, really..

Pumpkins, Costumes, Treats, Spooky Movies, Decorations..

all that and more!!

This year I'm not sure on my costume..

my freshmen year at csuf I was a scantily dressed GIANTS fan,

the next year I was Victoria Beckham, 

and last year I was Pooh Bear and Smalls was my honey-bee ♥

and Smalls needs a new costume too...

he was a pumpkin the first year I had him,

and last year he was a Bee (very apropos due to his run-in with bees)

Here are some cute treats I found off other blogs.

I hope they get you excited!!
