Hi everyone! I hope all is well; I haven’t been updating this nail blog is SO long because life is so busy for us nowadays. I just wanted to share a recent mani that I posted on my Instagram (@caleemama) :)

This holiday mani was inspired by @stephstonenails, she is SO amazing! You have to look up her Tumblr & Instagram because she is quite a talented artist. Her mani was featured in Allure magazine, and once I saw it, I instantly ran to my polish collection & grabbed all the perfect colors. I used:

Zoya - Skye
OPI - Skull & Glossbones
Nubar - White Polka Dot
Seche Vite Top Coat

I absolutely LOVE the turn-out! It’s probably my favorite mani that I’ve done on myself all year (with the lack of time I have nowadays, doing my nails gets more and more exciting for me). As always, chunky glitter is a favorite!

Anyways, I know I’m not always on here, but you guys can always keep in touch with me through my INSTAGRAM: @caleemama & I’ll do my best to keep updating this blog as much as I can! 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL! <3

Loving my NCLA Secession Strikes nail wraps from SHOPJEEN.com!!! These were so easy to apply <3

Fiiiiinally! A new post!

So I (along with many people, I’m assuming) am so obsessed with the mint color this Spring! This color is called “Aphrodisiac” & it’s by Wonder Beauty Products (you can find her collection on Etsy here). With her collection, you basically receive a little palette/kit that includes a jar with the main color, a bottle of clear coat, and a mixing stick. You have to constantly mix the color in order to get the glitters around evenly, and I literally had to mix before applying each layer. It takes a bit of time, but I like that I can get the glitters mixed evenly and apply it well. You also have to use the brush of the clear coat to apply the color, so it was a bit of a hassle to clean the brush every time I had to put it back in the clear coat bottle. It’s a lot more work than your normal nail polish bottle, but the color was just so damn cute; I had to get it! The best part is that each palette only costs $10 each, and she even accepts custom orders! I think I may have to request a color of my own. :)

Overall, I loved the results. A gorgeous mint with gold & silver hex glitters & gold, silver & green micro glitters. The base mint color is not too bright/neon, and not too light, which is the perfect green for me. Lovesssss it.

Simple, but I’m really obsessed with the OPI Holland Collection.

“I Have a Herring Problem”

I’m baaack! Sorry for the lack of posts; been on that school/work/motherhood grind. I’m trying to fit a Halloween manicure in tonight so hopefully I’ll have it up just in time!

What I’m wearing:
Chanel - Lotus Rouge

Honestly, I hate putting red on because it gets messy & stains so easily, but this nail polish applied flawlessly. IN LOVE. Seriously. Simple yet classy.

Felt like studding up my nails this week.

Main pink color is
OPI - I Lily Love You (thanks Megs xo) I am so late on swatching this color, but omg! Glitters/flakies galore. Loves it.

English roses!

My daughter Aubrey is turning 1 year old this weekend & we’re having a Little Mermaid themed party for her :) So I decided to do a mani dedicated to her, I love my little princess so so much!

Last week, I bought my baby daughter this cute Hello Kitty top & I knew I had to do a mani inspired by it. HK + leopard print <3

Another one from Nikole’s (Nailing It) franken collection! Pegasus is a gorgeous lilac / grey & it’s perfect. Just perfect. And on my index I have OPI - I Brake for Manicures is a deep, smokey purple (it’s looks black in the photo) & it’s be-a-utiful in person.

Sorry for not updating sooner, I just started school again & I’m full time so I am SO busy especially adding on with work & the kids! I promise I’ll keep updating, just probably not as often, but I will try at least once a week. :) Thanks to all my wonderful followers for sticking by my blog! <3
