My good friend Laura came to me with a challenge, she wanted a gel manicure and she wanted some Salvador Dali art. I haven’t done anything really detailed with gel polish but we picked a couple paintings and jumped head first into this!

31 Day Manicure Challenge Day 18: Half Moon Manicure

31 Day Manicure Challenge Day 18: Half Moon Manicure

This was my first attempt at a half moon manicure and it did not go smoothly.

International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day

Today, apparently, it’s a International Women’s Day. Wiki article to enlighten you. First celebrated in 1909 it has become a mixture of Mothers Day and Valentine’s Day in some places, while others use it as a time to bring awareness to issues of gender equality and domestic violence. Whatever you might do today take a moment to appreciate how awesome it is to be a woman! Here’s my way of celebrating, a manicure of course!
