Finger(nail)s Crossed

Well, this weekend we didn't really do anything exciting on the house. On Saturday we went to the Chipotle Cultivate festival (in the freezing cold) but I'll share a little more about that later this week. As far as Sunday goes, we took a little adventure up to the roof. Yes, Matt and I climbed up onto the roof. Why you ask? Well, we had a clogged gutter or downspout. I noticed a problem a few weeks ago when it was raining and I had to enter the house through a waterfall. Water was just pouring over the edge of the gutter and sending it right down on me. Well once we were up on the roof it was as simple as picking out a sliver of wood, we have cedar shake shingles, and a couple of leaves. Hardly worth taking a camera up there for. Oh, and I purged some clothes that are now sitting in my trunk. And now I'm rambling.

 

 

What I wanted to share is this cute little mani I've been wearing recently (as in three times now). It's super easy and you don't need any special tools. Seriously, just a couple of nail polish colors that look nice together. I even made a fancy collage (using Fuzel Pro).

 

 

I have been pretty lazy lately with doing anything other than just plain nail polish. Mostly because my nails were revolting, as in they were splitting and breaking just as fast as I could grow them. So, about three weeks ago I got myself some hair skin and nail vitamins and they seem to be doing better. As a reward (to my nails, not me) I decided they deserved something fancy. I based this mani off of a Valentine's Day mani that I saw on Chalkboard Nails. The only difference is I used different colors on each side, and did a straight line instead of a curved line. Oh, and yes, it is a little messy. I usually just pick it off while I'm in the shower. You might want to give yourself a little more drying time than usual too. It gets a little bit thick by the time you're done. Anyway, what do you think? Do you like painting your nails all fancy like? Is there a mani you've been wanting to try lately? Me: gradient French mani, once I get a little more length.
