OMG guys!!!!!!! Today's the day!!!! Can you <span style="font-size: large;"><i>Twihards</i></span> believe it's been 5 years of the Twilight Saga movies???? I know I was mad & impatient about waiting an entire 12 months from the last Breaking Dawn to this one, but now im just sad that it's all finally come to an end...the The Twilight Saga is actually over. Don't judge me but I've already cried about this. The Twilight books were the 1st series of books I actually sat down & devoured & read from start to finish. Now here's my backstory: when the books were huge around 2007-2008, I didn't pay much attention & thought they were silly stories for young teens. **SLAP** Boy was I wrong! I spent the Spring of 2009 in Mexico studying abroad. The summer I got back, my brother Tyler had bought the first Twilight movies & had received the <span style="font-size: large;"><i>Twilight </i></span>books earlier for Christmas 2008. We watched the first movie together & he harped on me & convinced me that I just HAD to read the books because the books were so much better. After we finished the movie, I sat down & started reading. I WAS HOOKED!! I spent the rest of that summer/fall reading the entire series. I fell in love. I saw <span style="font-size: large;"><i>New Moon</i></span> in theaters & even waited till midnight to go buy New Moon on DVD from Wal-Mart. By this point I was getting seriously addicted & obsessed. For<span style="font-size: large;"><i> Eclipse</i></span>, I bought midnight premiere tickets & saw it with Tyler. Then for <span style="font-size: large;"><i>Breaking Dawn Part 1</i></span>, I bought my midnight premiere tickets nearly 2 months in advance & saw it with my best friend Jessie & her mom. I own all 5 soundtracks. I have posters from every movie up on my walls. I have Twilight puzzles & boardgames, magazines, collector's edition dvds, and have the entire set of books in both paper & hardback. I havent loved a book-movie series more than this one. I love vampires & I love the idea of this impossible fantastical love. Now, this final movie, Breaking Dawn Part 2 is here. I bought my early premiere tickets on October 1st. This year the theaters are releasing it at 10pm the first night instead of midnight because it's a school night, and not in the summer or on a holiday/vacation time. So now in less than 12 hours I will be sitting in the theater watching this last epic finale! <span style="font-size: large;"><i> Mrs. Bella Cullen</i></span> is a vampire now & she's had a `child...Renesmee! This movie is going to be freaking amazing...i wish they had made it like 3 hours long! I have watched every single trailer & tv spot there is, over & over again. I've seen all the stills. I've bought the merchandise & have been listening to the soundtrack. It's a bittersweet feeling - excitement to see it & sadness for the end. Who else out there is seeing the early premiere tonight???<br />

Now this is the first time I've done a specific mani for the series. It's a varied assortment of things, something different on each nail in a range of red, black, white & grey. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>On the thumb nails I used 2 coats of a bright true red jelly by L'oreal "Caught Red-Handed" then topped it with a coat of "Static TV" by Rainbow Polish, compiled of black & white matte glitters in hexes, squares, & sticks</li>
<li>On the index nails I used 2 coats of Essie "Marshmallow" then topped them with 2 'Twilight' water slide decals made by RLR Creations</li>
<li>On the middle nails I used 2 coats of Essie "Licorice" then used L'oreal "Caught Red-Handed" & "Greycian Goddess" & Essie "Marshmallow" for water marble</li>
<li>On the pinky nails I did the same water marble with Marshmallow as the base</li>
<li>Finally on the ring nails I used 2 coats of "Greycian Goddess" as the base for the star of the show.... "BELLA" by I Love NP!!!! "Bella" is a clear base with shiny red squares & small shiny hexes mixed with medium & small matte black hexes & matte black sticks</li>
<li>This is all topped with a coat of Out The Door topcoat </li>
</ul>

Now Amanda from <a href="http://nailpolishenthusiast.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nail Polish Enthusiast</a> & I wanted to do some 'twinsie' Twilight nails because we both share an obsessed love for all things Twilight & we have the same Twilight water decals. I am seeing the movie tonight so I'm posting my nails today. Amanda is seeing the movie this weekend so she will be posting her nails on Saturday for all the fans who cant make it to the early premiere or who prefer to avoid the massive lines/crowds. Be on the lookout for her Twihard nails!!!! Is anyone else out there a Twilight lover? Going to see the premiere tonight?? Gaaaahhhhh I cant wait & cant believe it! This is it guys! The end. <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. </b></span></div>

Hey y'all!!!!!! Ok so today is <a href="http://polishmeplease.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">NICOLE</a> and I's very last post for our little <span style="font-size: large;"><i>Friday Football Nail Series </i></span>we've been doing together for the past 5 weeks! It went by so fast! I hope we inspired you to try some nails to support your personal favorite teams! This Friday for our last nails & posts we are doing <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>'General Football'</b></span> nails...just something to represent football as a game & as a whole. If you couldn't already gather, I love me some football. I didn't always watch it. I really started getting into football my freshman year of college in 2005. My parents arent sport watchers at all. They started watching pro tennis on tv when I started playing tennis. And once I started attending the University of Arkansas & was going to the games as a student, they just had no choice but to start watching & loving the Arkansas Razorbacks. To end this series I will give yall an update on my 3 teams:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>My alum, the Bentonville HS Tigers are now 10-0 for the season & won their 6th straight Conference Championship. They have bye for the first round of play-offs tonight. Their first play-off game will be next Friday. I hope they pull off another perfect season & win the State Championship again!<i><b><span style="font-size: large;"> Go Tigers!</span></b></i></li>
<li>My Arkansas Razorbacks are making some slight improvements - We are 2-3 in SEC Conference & 4-5 overall. Sadly we don't look like we'll be playing in any Bowl Games this season :( Tomorrow we take on the #8 South Carolina Gamecocks there. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">GO HOGS! Woo Pig Sooie! </span></i></b></li>
<li>The New Orleans Saints are 3-5 right now & play the Atlanta Falcons Sunday night. <i><b><span style="font-size: large;">GEAUX SAINTS!!! </span></b></i></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">To interpret my overall love of the game of football on my nails - </span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li> I did 'football' laces on my thumbs by painting the whole nail with L'oreal "Downtown Chic"...really impressed with the formula on this polish! And then i used a Sally Hansen nail art pen in white to paint on the center laces</li>
<li>On my ring nails, I wanted to do the '50 yard line'. So I painted the the whole nail with Essie "Mojito Madness" then used the SH pen to draw field lines & a number 50. </li>
<li>On the rest of the nails I painted them with 1 coat of Butter London "Tart With A Heart" then freehanded the tips with more of the L'oreal "Downtown Chic"</li>
<li>I finished it all off with Out The Door Fast Dry Topcoat....im making a switch from Seche Vite to OTD because I'm tired of the shrinkage + chemical hazards of SV. Im loving it so far!</li>
</ul>

Hey y'all! Ryan here again for my Friday Football series with Nicole from <a href="http://polishmeplease.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Polish Me, Please!</a> This Friday's nails, as we promised, are our personal high school alma maters & their mascots! Get ready for my gloating & bragging on my team: <span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Bentonville High School Tigers Football Team</b></span>!!!!! I live in the NW corner of Arkansas, home & capitol of Wal-Mart...where it all started & where the Wal-Mart Corporate Head Office is. Everyone in this corner bubble of the state either works for the WM Office or for vendor/suppliers. And a lot of this big Wal-Mart CEO money is poured into my high school - <span style="font-size: large;">BHS</span>. Millions have been invested in the football team & our stadium & the team's endorsed by Nike. The stadium has a glassed in press box, the largest opposing team bleacher section in the conference & a full 2-story indoor practice field - fully equipped with a gym & physical trainer room & offices for the Athletic Director and coaching staff. Our stadium also has the biggest megatron screen of any high school team in the state. The Head Coach Barry Lunney has been coaching since the Fall of 2005 which is right after I graduated. He has led the team to <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>5 consecutive Conference Championships & 2 State Championships in 5 years</i>.</b></span> The Tigers had a perfect season in 2010, the perfect 13-0 and State Champions. They had a near-perfect season in 2011, 12-0 until they got to State & lost by a 2-point conversion in the last few seconds of the game. And they are currently 9-0 right now, ranked #23 in the entire nation of high school football teams...tonight playing their last conference game & taking on the Fayetteville Bulldogs, one of their biggest 7A West Conference rivals...and hopefully continuing their winning streak. </div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">The school's also developed a cool <i><span style="font-size: large;">tradition</span></i> with the student section, which is called <b><span style="font-size: large;">"The Jungle"</span></b>. In all honesty the organized student section is louder & better than our cheerleaders. BHS Football has a very loyal & dedicated student body. 'The Jungle' <span style="line-height: 19px;">is known for being the loudest and largest student section in the 7A West Conference, winning the <u>"Best Student Section"</u> title awarded by SportsTalk. They created a tradition of <i><span style="font-size: large;">"The Smokescreen"</span></i>. When the side door of the practice field opens, releasing fog/smoke & the Tiger Team runs out, the entire student section has handfuls of baby powder they release into the air at once creating this huge explosive cloud of white into the air. It's a fun dramatic effect. The Jungle leads organized cheers & chants & has designated males that run flags up & down the field during the games. You can't deny we have the best student body support for high school football games....<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Welcome to Tiger Stadium, Welcome To The Jungle!</i></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">You may be wondering why I still care so much about my high school. I played varsity volleyball & tennis for BHS. I still live in the town where I graduated. During my MAT, I had the privilege of being a Student-Teacher Intern for Spanish at BHS. And during my undergrad, I was the Assistant Coach of the BHS Tiger Tennis Team for 3 years, winning 2 State Championship titles & rings during my time as Coach Brandt! I take alot of pride in my high school & our town loves the Tigers.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">For my nails, I wanted to portray the 'Tiger' and add an accent flare specific to our team & 'The Jungle' student section's tradition: The Smokescreen. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">On the main nails, the base is 2 coats of NOPI "The Next CEO" </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">Then I dabbed Wet n Wild Fergie "Glamorous" gold glitter down the center of the nails, clumping the glitter right in the middle. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">I then followed that with a Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in black, freehanding Tiger stripe print. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">On the ring/accent nails, the base is 2 coats of Essie "Licorice" & then sponged with Essie "Marshmallow" to represent the baby powder 'smokescreen' effect against a night sky. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">This was my first attempt ever at doing my own animal print. So i hope you like my tiger stripes! <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>GO TIGERS!</b></span></span></li>

Happy Halloween!!!!!!! Today, Alaina from <a href="http://thelittlecanvas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Little Canvas</a> and I are doing TWINSIE posts on our blogs...we both did some jack-o-lantern nails for Halloween day. My homegirl Alaina proposed the idea to me this weekend & of course I wanted to join in with her. She motivated me to do one more Halloweeny mani & end the spooky month of October with a BOO! So make sure you creep on over to her blog & check out her pumpkin patch nails! Do yall like my pumpkin carving pic (stole it from Google)?? Today being Halloween means it's October 31st, which means I am now just 14 more days away from seeing the last Twilight movie premiere...BREAKING DAWN PART 2!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO! I am both excited & sad that this is the end, the last one. I am of course seeing it on the premiere night...got my tickets on October 1st! Yep, I'm a total twihard & you will be seeing a pretty vamptastic Twilight Saga mani from me & Amanda from <a href="http://nailpolishenthusiast.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nail Polish Enthusiast</a> when we do Twi-Twinsie posts in a couple weeks! So be on the lookout for those...and I don't wanna hear any negativity about Twilight. If you don't like it, just keep it to yourself and love me anyways ;)</div>

Now on with the punkin jack-o-lantern nails!!!!! I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Sun Kissed" on all the nails. Then I did one coat of Fantasy Makers Glow In the Dark "Go With The Glow". I then did 5 different jack-o-lantern faces on each nail using a Sally Hansen nail art pen in black. I then topped all of my nails with 1 thin coat of China Glaze "Fairy Dust". I finished it all off with some Seche Vite. I'm on the hunt for a new fast-dry topcoat though because I'm tired of the shrinkage from SV. Happy Punkin Carving!!!!!!!! Here we ghost..... (hehe get it?) </div>

Hey There Polished People! This is Nicole from <a href="http://polishmeplease.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Polish Me, Please!</a> :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you all have been enjoying Ryan and my football nail posts every Friday. Personally, I think half the fun of watching football games is getting all dressed up in team gear, doing your nails for the game and making snacks for everyone to enjoy. Oh, and I think you need some festive drinks, too, if you know what I mean. ;) For you youngins I recommend some fun punch and some pop, and for us not-so-youngins I'm a fan of long islands, jello shots, cheap wine and/or whatever else floats your boat. It's fun to have watch parties and get all your friends together, even if you're not a die hard fanatic. Speaking of die hard fanatics- Ryan's team, as you all know, is the Arkansas Razorbacks aka The Hogs. We all know how much she loves them hogs! Haha. I remember in the beginning of the football season she was posting pictures on Instagram of all her billions and billions of red nail polishes in order to do her nails in Arkansas Razorbacks colors. In fact, all those posts about red nail polish for her Hogs is what made me want to do these football nails together. Anyway, before I keep blabbing on- let's just see the nails that I did in honor of Ryan's beloved team. :)</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;">How To Get These Nails:</span></div>
<div>
1. Use base coat on all your nails. I like to use <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Sally Hansen Hard As Nails</span></b>.</div>
<div>
2. Paint your thumb (not shown) and index finger with <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">OPI Big Apple Red</span></b>.</div>
<div>
3. Paint your ring finger with <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">ChG White on White</span> </b>and then a layer of<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> <b>OPI Red Shatter</b></span> applied in a wavy pattern. Cover the shatter with <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Seche Vite</span></b> once it's dry and shattered. </div>
<div>
4. Paint your middle finger and pinkie with alternating layers of <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">OPI Don't Touch My Tutu</span></b> and <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">OPI Gettin Miss Piggy With It</span></b> to create a white with red glitter jelly sandwich. Make sure to end with a thin coat of the white jelly. </div>
<div>
5. Use a small brush and <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">ChG White on White</span></b> to paint the hog's tusks on the index finger, then use <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">FP Black Expressionism</span></b> to add the rest of the details of the hog's face. Make sure to make him look mean! :) Add tiny dots of white for the whites of his eyes.</div>
<div>
6. Use <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">FP Black Expressionism</span></b> to make an A for Arkansas on your ring finger. When the black is dry, use <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">ChG White on White</span></b> to paint a thinner A in the middle of the black A to complete the letterman jacket-style letter. </div>
<div>
7. Use <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Essie Jelly Apple</span></b> to paint a medium width line down the center of your jelly sandwich nails (middle and pinkie fingers). Use <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">black and white stripers</span></b> to add the stripes in the middle and on either side of the thick red stripe like you see in the picture.</div>
<div>
8. Repeat steps 1-7 on other hand. </div>
<div>
9. When all your nails are completely dry (you do NOT wanna smudge these) apply a careful coat of <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Seche Vite</span></b> making sure to never touch any part of any nail twice during this first careful coat. </div>
<div>
10. Apply another coat of <b>Seche Vite</b> when the first is dry. </div>
<div>
11. Show your friends and cheer on the Hogs with a<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><i> "woo pig sooie!!" </i></span>;D</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Who Dat? Who Dat? Do we have any NOLA Saints football fans out there?? Today, Nicole from <a href="http://polishmeplease.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Polish Me, Please!</a> and I are back for our football nail series with our own versions of NFL team nails...and we both found out that we both love the SAINTS! I'm not gunna lie to y'all now....I don't really like NFL or faithfully watch the Saints games. But I love the city of New Orleans, Louisiana and just love the spirit of the Saints team...and Drew Brees is such a lovable respectable quarterback. My family took a vacation to NOLA the summer after the Saints had won the SuperBowl. The city was alive with black & gold & "Who Dat" everywhere you looked! It's a contagious love. So by default I guess, the Saints are my only NFL team I like & would ever get behind and watch. Even though Louisiana's huge college team, the LSU Tigers, are my Arkansas Razorbacks' biggest SEC rival...I can't help but love the Saints. I would love to be from Louisiana. I love the soulful character of the Cajun language, jazz music, and I LOVE THE FOOD, and NOLA is just a city with so much heart. What's not to love? Now if only those Saints could improve their current 1-4 season...<br />
<br />
So to bring the glorious black & gold spirit to life on my nails I used quite a few polishes. I badly wanted to do a 'fleur de lis' for an accent nail, but my fine artistic skills were severely lacking last night. I used Essie "Licorice" on all nails except for the ring fingernail. On that accent nail, I used a base of Essie "Marshmallow". On the thumbs & pinkies I did a french tip with Orly "Luxe". On the pointer & middle fingers I sponged on Wet n Wild "Glamorous" from the Fergie Collection as a gradient from the cuticle down. On the ring finger accent nail, I put 2 full coats of Wet n Wild "Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night" also from the Fergie Collection over the white. Love this polish, TGBAGN, small gold hex glitters and lots of very small round matte black glitters in a clear base. Hope yall like this black, white & gold interpretation to represent this NOLA team, GEAUX SAINTS! WHO DAT!<br />

Hey y'all!! Ryan finally here again...I should be working on new Halloween manis BUT my sweet girl <span style="font-size: large;"><i>Nicole from <a href="http://polishmeplease.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Polish Me, Please!</a></i></span> came to me with an idea that she wanted to do a series of football nails together because she knows how much I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!!! We both also discovered that our favorite NFL team is the same team, that will be revealed later!!! We have about 5 weeks of football themes coming your way! This Friday's is our favorite college team. I love college football the most, specifically my Arkansas Razorbacks! So last season my Razorbacks were having the most rocking season ever, finishing at #5 in the nation, with a 11-2 record - only losing to LSU & Alabama, the #1 & #2 teams in the country who played each other for the National Championship. I would say that's pretty damn good! We also won our bowl game against Kansas State U. All that goes to say that the SEC (Southeastern Conference is the best in country!) This season is another story. This past Spring we lost our Head Coach Bobby Petrino to a scandal. He was having an affair with a young female athletics assistant who he actually had been giving money to, had her chosen to be hired over other much more HIGHLY qualified applicants. They were caught when he was taking her for a sexy joyride on his motorcycle and they crashed. He had someone come pick her up at the scene of the crash before police, media, & ambulances got there. He paid off an Arkansas State Trooper to keep his mouth shut. He lied about the accident, saying he was alone on his ride, to the media and to our school's Athletic Director. Everything came out and he was fired. Our team had to practice with our assistant coaches the rest of the Spring & this Summer. We got a new Head Coach named John Smith...but he's horrible & nuttier than a damn fruitcake! And even with our QB Tyler Wilson and all of our top starters, we are having the worst season possible. Our 2nd game was against Louisiana-Monroe which we payed them $500,000 to play because it's usually an easy win. We lost & suffered 2 majorly devastating injuries. The tragedy continued when we lost to Rutgers and got blown apart by Alabama 0-56. We did finally snag a win last Saturday against Auburn who are 0-4. Woo. Tomorrow we play Kentucky & praying we win. We are now 2-4 & not looking too good. You can be sure that this coach John Smith will be fired for next season once his 10 month contract is up! Now if you go over to Nicole's blog, you will see her nail interpretation of her Oregon college team: The Oregon Ducks! I'm glad we don't play each other & arent rivals!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my nails, I wanted to interpret our mascot saying "Fear The Tusk"!!!!! We are the only 'Razorback' in sports...unique! And our Hog has tusks, literally we have a real hog that rides around campus on game day and onto the field named 'Tusk'. So for my nails I used Wet 'n' Wild "I Red A Good Book" on my thumb, pointer, & pinky nails. I used China Glaze "I'm Not Lion" on the ring nails. And I used Essie "Licorice" on the middle nails with a Sally Hansen nail art pen in white to draw tusks, then topped that nail with Essie "Matte About You" mattifying topcoat. Do you fear the tusks???</div>

BOOoooooo yall! Ryan finally here again to kick off the spookiest creepiest month of the year, October. And who doesn't know the Sanderson sisters??? Sarah, Winifred 'Winnie', and Mary...the most hilarious witches from one of my very favorite Halloween movies - <span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>HOCUS POCUS</b></i></span>!!!! I can't believe this movie is almost 10 years old. It came out in 1993 when I was just 7 years old. And one can never see this movie too many times in their life. Now I grew up in a household that didn't celebrate Halloween. My mom doesn't like anything about it, the dressing up, the darkness & evil and everything that goes along with it. I'm sure it bothers her that I have always been very fascinated with Halloween & all things supernatural. Ever since I can remember I've loved scary movies and been watching them since I was a little girl. I remember watching Scream by myself at night when I was 10 years old. I love em all in the horror department....exorcisms/paranormal activity, witches, vampires, monsters, ghosts, slashers (Michael Myers, Jason, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I Know What You Did Last Summer, etc.) If it's suspenseful and terrifying then I am a fan. So I'm hoping to do an installment of of different Halloween-inspired nails all month long! And I'm so excited for these 1st nails inspired by the fabulous film Hocus Pocus...and a little brujajajajajaja!!! </div>

So on Hocus Pocus, they are whipping up potions & brews & Sarah is always eating crunchy 'pretty spiders'. So for my Hocus Pocus nails, I painted all my left hand nails with Sinful Colors "Innocent" - a witchy pea green cream. It applied nicely & smooth. On the left hand accent nail I used Sinful Colors "Amethyst". I also used Amethyst on my right hand nails & used Innocent again on my right hand accent nail. I put a coat of Seche Vite on all nails so I could apply some tape to the tips. I cut scotch tape into triangles & placed them at different angles near the tips. I didn't tape my accent nails. After the tape was applied, I painted Essie "Licorice" on the tips. On the accent nails I used Sally Hansen Nail Art pens in black & white. On the right green accent nail, I used the black pen to paint a spider web & a little spider. The left purple accent nail just got a white spider web. I pulled off the triangles of tape and topped all the nails with SV again! The tips are left with black jagged edges, its an abstract french mani. Hope y'all liked this 1st attempt at creepy Halloween nails! </div>

Hey y'all! Ryan here with a new mani for you! It's that time of the year again...the month of October is <b><span style="font-size: large;">National Breast Cancer Awareness</span></b>. Fortunately, I have been blessed to not have breast cancer in my family history and have never personally known anyone with breast cancer. I am most thankful I have never lost anyone to breast cancer. But that doesn't mean I should ignore the possibilities or think I'm too young to get it. Actress Christina Applegate was only 36 years old when she found out she had breast cancer. It seems to be a very ignored topic with women not thinking they need to get yearly checkups. I thought I would contribute to the awareness by doing some NBCA nails!<br />
<br />
I created the breast cancer awareness nails by painting all nails with China Glaze "Go Go Girl" from last year's China Glaze NBCA packaging. It's a really nice pastel baby pink. It would've been evenly opaque with 3 coats but I used 4 coats. Next I put 2 coats of Essie "A Cut Above" pink hex glitter on my ring nails. Last I used OPI "Charged Up Cherry" to create a pink ribbon on the tip of my middle finger nails. Then topped it all off with some Seche Vite!<br />
<br />

People who go through cancer always seem to be the strongest bravest people...and I also think it helps that they have great support systems, family & friends who love them unconditionally. I hope if I ever have to go through something as trying as cancer that I have someone who will 'love me through it'. I for sure know my family will be there for me no matter what. I have never been 'in love' before but I hope if I find someone to be my partner in life that they love me more if I were to go through something as difficult as that. Alright ladies, check yourself today! SAVE THE TATAS!!!!!! </div>

Hey yall!!!! Ryan here with some <i><span style="font-size: large;">confessions of a shopaholic</span></i> & new mani in honor of the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Mercedes-Benz Fall Fashion Week in NYC</b></span>! I didn't blog the last 2 manis i did...i think because I just wasnt that proud of them. But Fashion Week started last week on September 6th & ends this week on September 13th. I am not a super big fashion whore. I never have the trendiest outfits of the season. I dont frequently go shopping for clothes. I don't ever care too much for 'name brands' or think too highly of having the status of wearing designer clothes/shoes/purses. I never actually dress up because my job is to teach tennis...hence I spend my days in Nike & tennis shoes. BUT that doesn't stop me from appreciating fashion. I have a shoe/heel obsession even though I never wear them. I would love to dress super cute all the time if <a href="http://pinterest.com/rycobra/my-pinterest-closet/" target="_blank">My Pinterest Closet</a> was real & I could have all my pinned outfits in real life :D For my fashion-inpired mani, I wanted to replicate one of my pinned outfits that I would wear if I were attending Fashion Week! </div>

I love a good LBD...I am a more curvy/athletic/full-figured girl. I love this dress because it's black, which tends to hide any imperfections. And I love the fit of this dress, higher straight neck line, higher fitted waistline, then it kinda bubbles out with a full skirt to flatter hips & butt. I also love adding some pop with some very classy turquoise jewelry....last but not least, have yall noticed these shoes???? The soles are lined with silver glitter!!!!!!!! What girl doesnt want black stilettos with glitter-covered soles?!? To replicate this mani, I used OPI "Black Onyx", Essie "Turquoise & Caicos", & Essie "Set In Stones...and what fitting polish names too to go with this fashion-inspired mani! I put Black Onyx on my thumbs, pointer & pinky nails for the dress & handbag. I put Set In Stones on my middle nails to represent the silver glitter heel bottoms. I put Turquoise & Caicos on the ring fingernails to represent the turquoise jewelry accents. Last I added Black Onyx on the tips of the turquoise nails. I decided to bust the homemade lightbox out again for these nail pics. Hope you like this fashion look!<br />

Hey y'all! I am sad that summer is over but I am not at all sad about Fall & COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!! I graduated from the University of Arkansas with my undergrad in 2011 & did some graduate work there last fall. Going to the Razorback football games & sitting in the student section has pretty much been the highlight of my fall semesters the past years. And I am so depressed that I am not a student anymore & can no longer get nice student athletic passes for the games. Then I have my brother who is currently a Sophomore at the UofA & could care less about going to a game...blasphemy. As for me, I live for it. No greater thrill than watching my Razorbacks plow down the field & 'calling my hogs'. Here in Arkansas we dont have any pro football teams, so the entire state loves & cheers for the Razorbacks. I kind of love it & it makes us unique. A whole state behind one college team, diehard devoted fans with THE MOST UNIQUE mascot & cheer in the country. And let me also add that we are not just any college team. We are a Top 3 SEC team (Southeastern Conference aka best conference in the USA). Last year we finished in the top 5 in the nation, only losing to the #1 & #2 teams, Alabama & LSU - also SEC teams. This year we are ranked #10 for pre-season. I am pretty excited about our chances this season with our Senior-led team & our QB Tyler Wilson. We have our first game of the season this Saturday against Jacksonville State (who?) haha! GO HOGS! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this entire fall will be riddled with red/white/black manis because of my Arkansas Razorback football games. From not until November, you will see lots of red! I am not super happy with the way these turned out & will be doing another round of red nails in a couple days. I painted all nails, except ring nails, with 4 coats of OPI "Don't Touch My TuTu!" from the NYC Ballet Collection - a sheer white jelly. Next I sponged China Glaze "Salsa" on the tips, followed by some China Glaze "Ruby Pumps" on the tips. I painted the entire accent nail with "Salsa" and then put some Milani 'Red' glitters on all the nails. Let me just say that China Glaze 'Salsa' is the most perfect red...perfect shade & such great formula. Again, not in love with this mani but will be trying something else this weekend...</div>

Hey yall! The Olympics are coming to a close and so has my patriotic 'Team USA' mani. But i can't even begin to tell you how excited I was to do this current mani, and more to actually write up the blog post, about my inspiration. I've always loved the insanely gorgeous & inspirational Miss Katy Perry...but never as much as I am in love with her right now because of "Wide Awake". She has always just been this genius of instant hits, she makes ridiculously catchy songs, has been very unique & quirky with her sense of fashion. During/After the release of Teenage Dream, she just really started coming out with new deep sensitive material with some thought-provoking messages in her videos & an insight into her personal realities. The lyrics & the video for 'Wide Awake' does just that & then takes it 10 levels deeper. We all know about Katy getting a divorce from Russell...that's a nice big scandal for the ruthless & heartless paparazzi/media. There is so much symbolism in this video, I'm just in love with it. I can't get enough!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love how she tells this intricate story in just 4:37. It's her own autobiography mixed into this creepy edgy dark fantastical fairy tale. She's lost in this labyrinth, of life really... just that feeling of being lost in the midst of all the shit & you can't find your way out of the trials & struggles. I love how she is saved by the nostalgia of her childhood, her young innocent self saves her from herself when it seems hopeless. In turn, she teaches her former little girl self some better versions of reality....like the fact that all the fairy tales about 'Prince Charming' arent exactly accurate. <b>I LOVE WHEN SHE PUNCHES HIM! </b>Don't we all wish we could go back & tell ourselves not to be so naive & be less vulnerable??? I sure know that I do. But the reality is, we cant. So we have to learn things the hard way & come out stronger. I can't get over how much I'm in love with the song & video. Some days, I just listen to it on repeat...every time I'm driving in my car. Both <i><span style="font-size: large;">heartbreaking</span></i> & <i><span style="font-size: large;">empowering</span></i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All of this inpired my current mani. I could never pull it off, but i freakin LOVE her blue/purplish hair in the video. But Katy Perry can look stunningly beautiful no matter what her hair color, or even without hair in her amazingly patriotic video for 'Part Of Me". She's simply wonderful. So to go with her beautiful blue hair, I painted all my nails with 3 coats of a Revlon classic, "Royal"....pretty fitting for Katy since she is music royalty. Then to go along with the lyrics, <i><span style="font-size: large;">"...how did I read the stars so wrong?"</span></i> For my ring finger accent nail, I used the new Wet'n'Wild Fergie star glitter "Hollywood Walk of Fame"...also ridiculously fitting for this because the video gives some symbolization of the crippling effect fame & celebrity has had on her. I told yall I was excited about this entire mani/blog post ensemble!! :) The star glitter is set in a pretty thick clear base, making it difficult to work with. I didn't like how it looked when I tried to place the stars individually separate from the whole base. I wanted a more natural, randomly placed look/feel...plus theres little tiny flecks of glitters & hairies mixed in so I wanted all that incorporated onto the gorgeous Royal blue jelly. </div>

LOVE how she ends it with little Katheryn getting back on her bike, stronger & more aware of the world around her. EPIC. <i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Did you notice Katy rocked 4 different manis in just that 1 video???</u></span></b></i> That's it for now...this is probably my longest post to date. But I just couldn't say enough about the beauty of this song, this video, how it inspired my nails, and just how beautiful Katy Perry is. FABULOSITY! Hope yall liked the mani too! Did you buy any of the Fergie glitters/polishes? I always love to hear your stories!

Hey yall! So 2 weeks later, I'm finally showing off my American pride by doing a <b><span style="font-size: large;">TEAM USA </span></b>Olympics mani! I hope yall took the time to read the bio info for all my favorite American Olympic athletes and what theyve already accomplished this <i><b>2012 Olympics in London</b></i>. Pretty spectacular & thrilling stuff. I've also noticed many of the our female athletes were rocking some pretty fab patriotic manis during the games. I specifically noticed Missy Franklin & Sanya Richards-Ross' nails when they won their Golds & were holding up our beautiful flag. I couldn't be more freaking proud of the awe-inspiring performances of our USA athletes. We really live in the most incredible country in the world. </div>

Now, I actually painted this mani last Thursday night, and just now photographed my nails today. So I apologize for the wear the tips already have. I was having a little sleep-over last Thursday night with my little adopted sister, <i>Yuriko</i>. And I did both our nails and my toenails with this USA Olympics-style mani. This was my very first time to use a Sinful Colors polish, we used "Ruby Ruby" red. It's pretty sheer, a jelly pretty much. It's a gorgeous shade. I ended up doing 3 coats to get it pretty opaque. After that I followed it up with a cuticle gradient of blue glitter, Essie "Stroke of Brilliance". I have been looking for this dang glitter everywhere...finally found it at Ulta. It was the last 2 bottles, so I got 1 for me & 1 for my best friend's birthday. I applied the glitter with a triangle makeup sponge. Now once I applied my SV topcoat, it reacted poorly with the Sinful Colors & had major shrinkage. I also noticed tip wear after just 24 hours. So I don't think Sinful colors will be at the top of my list of polishes. But it is less than $2 a bottle, so it's still a pretty good deal. And this post is the christening of my blog being changed to: Nail'd In The South!!!! First pics with the new watermark! Check it out!</div>

Hey y'all! Ryan here with my first bright neon of the summer! And just in time for the hottest week of the year here in Arkansas! This entire week it was over 100 degrees (aka: hotter than Satan's ballsack) and I was on a court 5 hours of the day teaching tennis in this blistering, drought-inducing heat! My last mani was black & white inspired by my CrossFit obsession. But I was way overdue for some seriously obnoxious neon brightness since we are already at the end of July! And where is the best place to be spending your summer if you're not near a beach....??? AT THE POOL!!!! I've spent a good amount of time at my girlfriends' pools this summer. My 2 best friends both have pools and I don't sadly. And, as you will see when you get to the end of this post, no pool party is a party without some fun upbeat music!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now for this mani, I bought China Glaze "Pool Party" a few months ago after falling in love with "Flip Flop Fantasy". Those have got to be the 2 most unique fabulous neon pinks & both very different. I will say their application kinda sucks, the way the polish dries mid-stroke & very unevenly. I put 4 coats on my fingernails & 3 coats on my toes. I then did an accent nail inspired by something I saw on Pinterest. For the accent nails & big toenails I used: ULTA "Snow White", OPI "No Room For The Blues", & NOPI "Nicole's Nickel" (a Target exclusive). I tried to do wispy lines with a fine art brush then followed those up with some dotting tool dot trails. Lastly, I finished the mani with 2, yes 2 coats of Seche Vite to really seal it ;D On top of "Pool Party" being a hassle to apply, it was nearly impossible to photograph. And it dries very differently than the bottle color. In the bottle, it just looks like a straight up hot neon pink. But once dry on the nails it seems to have a radioactive orange-coral hue in the pink. Regardless of the application & not being photogenic, this has got to be the most unique fabulous loud perfect color for summer! I may need to buy a backup! I highly recommend buying this color. It's a must-have for any girl's collection! Now let's get this party started! </div>

Do you <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">WOD</span>??? Hey y'all! Ryan here with another mani for you...inspired by my newest love: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">CROSSFIT</span>!!!! Do I have any fellow CrossFit sisters out there? Have you heard of it? Let me tell you, I thought tennis didn't go well with my girlish hobby of painting my nails constantly; but CrossFit pushes it to the next limit & REALLY doesn't go well with pretty nails ;D But that's just CrossFit: pushing the limits. I did my On-Ramp training in the middle of May this year & have now been going to classes about 5 days/week ever since. I have played varsity sports my entire life and I've never experienced a fitness regimen quite like CrossFit. I live in Arkansas & attend probably the best "Box" there is - <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">CrossFit NWA</span> & have the most amazing <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>badass</i></span> coaches any Crossfitter could ever ask for. It's the epitome of what a 'real' beautiful woman should look like: muscular & fit. Some people call it a 'cult'.....well I call it a <i>family</i>. No matter what time of class I've shown up for, some really incredible people have stepped out to help me with form, encourage me, give me the greatest compliments, and cheer me on. It hurts. It's painful. I'm still nervous & scared every time I walk in (unless it's a strength day) before I start the day's WOD (Workout Of the Day). But I always walk out feeling better than the day before. Finishing a CrossFit WOD leaves you with such a fulfilling sense of pride & completion. It's intense & hardcore. I'm in <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">love</span>.</div>

My mani was inspired by my CrossFit Box's logo with a splatter design and the fact that this week & weekend is the <i>2012 CrossFit Games</i> in California. It's like the Olympics of CrossFit and is being aired on ESPN3. So I did a black & white splatter mani. I've done 3 or 4 splatter manis....I really love em because they're so fun & easy. Painted all my nails with OPI "Black Onyx", except my ring fingers. I left those to be accent nails painted with ULTA "Snow White". Then just take a short straw, dip it into the bottle, blow hard & get a unique splattered look on each nail. I love this black/white contrast. Now if these calloused & ripped up palms from pull-up bars aren't just the sexiest thing you've ever seen, then I don't know what is ;) But at least when I'm doing snatches & split jerks I have fab nails haha!</div>

Hey y'all! Hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July! I'm sure many of y'all celebrated with drinks & fireworks. I spent mine at a friends pool party, playing volleyball. We didn't have fireworks because of a burn ban...all of NW Arkansas banned fireworks :( oh well. I just took of my patriotic red, white, & blue to get into something more summery! </div>

Ever since buying Essie's "Mojito Madness", I wanted to do a green gradient. So I paired it with China Glaze "Refresh-Mint" to create the sponge gradient effect with a wet makeup sponge. Just the 2 polish color names was a minty mojito. Have you ever tasted a mojito? Pretty simple Cuban drink (and yes, apparently the only good mojito is made with Havana Club Cuban Rum)...made of muddled mint, lime juice, sugar & rum. So I thought my nails looked like a glass of a mojito: the mint being at the bottom of the glass, lime juice squeezed in then topped with rum (aka Seche Vite). Here's the Havana Club recipe:</div>

Now if you don't know me by now, I love music & always incorporate a relatable song into my posts. To go with my Minty Mojito Madness, we need something in party mode! One of my fave songs this summer is "We Run The Night". And how perfect is it that it is sung by Havana Brown (to go with our Havana Club Rum), and featuring Pitbull (who is Cuban). Now with my nails, I am imagining myself dancing in a Miami club to this song while sipping a tasty Cuban Mojito. Aren't you??? :)</div>

Hey y'all! Any fellow Trubies out there?? Because it's fang season again!!! TRUE BLOOD is back with Season 5!!! We are less than 12 hours away from the premiere!!!! What's going to happen?? Russell Edgington is coming back for revenge. Pastor Newlin is back as a vampire. Sookie broke up with both Bill & Eric. Tara got her head blown off & Debbie is dead as a doornail...How many people can die in Sookie's kitchen? Will Tara come back to the show as a vamp? Will this be the season of Sookie and Alcide? We are gonna see Chris Meloni as the new Authority... Will Bill have to pay for killing Nan Flanagan? Do Jason & Jessica have a future together? What's with Renee's warnings to Arlene? What's up with the creeper guy from Terry's past? OMG. so many questions, not enough episodes per year!!!!<br />
<br />
So in honor of my hardcore Trubie obsession, I had to do some bloody splatter nails for the premiere! And let me tell you, these are a serious bloody gory MESS!! Haha, I'm currently in love with sponge gradients. So I started the mani by painting my nails with 3 coats of OPI "Don't Touch My TuTu!", then did 3 lines of color on a wet makeup sponge: OPI "Don't Touch My TuTu", "Suzi Skis In The Pyrenees", and then "Black Onyx". After finishing the black-grey-white gradient up the nail, I started on my straw splatter. First I used my darker deep blood red, OPI "Got The Blues For Red". Let that dry, then went back & splattered OPI "Vodka & Caviar"....one of my very favorite reds of all time. It's got a little more orange to it & is a lot brighter. After removing the tape from the surround skin area, I applied 1 coat of Seche Vite topcoat. (I wish I had taken pics of the sponge gradient by itself)...oh well.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"> RAFAEL NADAL: The Object of My Obsession</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>The King of Clay</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
¡HOLA! Ryan here with a first! So to let you know more about myself...the thing i love most in this world, more than painting my nails, is playing tennis. It is my ultimate passion. I started playing tennis when I was 14 years old. As soon as I started playing, I fell in love. Once I began, I never stopped or slowed down. I still to this day play competitively as an adult and have been teaching tennis for about 8 years now. In fact, this weekend I played 4.0 & 4.5 doubles in an adult tournament at the club where I teach. Played 4 matches & 8+ hours of tennis just yesterday. My body is sore & aching but theres no better feeling than being out on that court, hitting the ball, and continuing to express my competitive edge. Ever since I can remember, Rafa Nadal of España has been my ultimate favorite tennis players, men or women. He is just incredible. Temporarily he has moved from the #1 in the world to #2 to Novak Djokovic (vomit). But he will rise again. He is fierce & powerful & raw & passionate & humble & the epitome of sportsmanship. I am more than in love. I want to marry this man. We are both 26 years old. We both speak Spanish. He's a driven determined athlete...everything I want in a man ;D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my latest mani is inspired by my love for Rafa, mi amor. Right now, RAFA is competing in the Roland Garros: French Open Grand Slam. It's the Grand Slam that has made Nadal one of the greatest players of all time & the<i> King Of Clay</i>. He is currently going for his 7th French Open title on the red clay. Rafa is also so sexy for his ability to rock pinks when he plays. Right now at the French Open, he is wearing a pink-toned red shirt with white shorts & anthracite grey accent stripes. I absolutely want a pair of his shoes he's rocking right now...Nike Air Courtballistec 4.3s in Nike's color description of Scarlet Fire/Anthracite/White. Haha I keep straying, I did my nails with a first attempt at a sponge gradient. I wanted to pay homage to Rafa's sexy ass outfit and did a sponge gradient mani of the pink-red & dark grey. I used an Ulta "Eye-Popping Poppy" and OPI "Suzi Skis In The Pyrenees". I did 3 coats of the Ulta color as the base. Then with a triangle makeup sponge, I dipped it in water first to keep the sponge from absorbing the polish too quickly. Then painted on strips of both the Ulta pink & the OPI grey. I then pressed the painted sponge to my nail so that the dark grey was going on my tips. I keep dabbing & sponging a little up & down so the gradient gets blended really well. Also later in the post, I also did a girlfriends nails with the same technique but with more nude/peach colors. </div>

Hey y'all! So my participation with the challenge I just did was an EPIC FAIL. Hardcore 'swatching' and challenges are just not for me. I missed 2 of the 7 days, even when we were posting every other day. To my fellow challenge ladies I apologize for my lame attempts. Glad I gave it a shot, but I don't wanna get burnt out. I love painting my nails & I enjoy trying nail art. I've never been much of a swatcher. When I do my nails, I paint them to do a mani that I will leave on my nails for 5-7 days. That being said, enough of my ranting & on to the good stuff!<br />
<br />
As y'all may know, I'm a Southern girl. I have lived in Tennessee & now Arkansas. My family is from the Atlanta area of Georgia. The good ole juicy Georgia peaches are now in season. As a matter of fact, I made a fresh peach cobbler to go with my family's Memorial Day dinner of dry rub smoked ribs, BLT potato salad & deviled eggs. We keep it southern y'all! ;D I also have an interview on Wednesday so I needed something fresh & light & sweet on my nails. I chose to use my Essie "A Crewed Interest"...a luminous peach cream. It's a great professional-looking classy color. Very in for summer....just like them Georgia peaches!!<br />

I love my lightbox but sometimes it doesn't capture all I want it to.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
and showed more true to life the color of the peach in this polish.</div>

I love all genre's of music...but I grew up on Country. It's in my veins, along with a heavy dose of sweet tea. To go along with my peachy polish, I had to include "Georgia Peaches" by Lauren Alaina</div>

Have y'all used this Essie color before?? Are you a fan of soft nude-toned peach colors?? Do you like peaches? My mom doesn't like the fuzzy skin but i LOVE peaches. And in the words of my girl Paula Deen, "Best polishes y'all.

Hey y'all! Ryan finally here....a day late, & a dollar short. So sorry, I really dropped the ball on this challenge. I'm just going to skip Tuesday's "Favorite Effect" mani. Today I have for you Day 6 of the SNAAARKM Challenge: "My Forever Mani"....in better terms if you had to pick one polish to wear for the rest of your life, what would it be???? In my next life I'm coming back as a dancer. I love dancing but just don't have the body for it. Both of my brother's started doing ballet 3 years ago and are in our local version of The Nutcracker Ballet every December. I was never more proud than when my 18 year old brother was the Nutcracker Prince lifting & twirling a very gorgeous female dancer. He was spectacular.<br />
<br />
For my "forever mani", I chose a polish inspired by something as structured and beautiful as ballet....OPI <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>"Don't Touch My Tutu!"</i></span> from the NYC Ballet Collection. It's a sheer white jelly, took 4 coats for a almost-opaque look. Nothing more timeless & classic than this lovely white jelly. You can't go wrong; especially when you need it to be work appropriate & can go with many different outfits. <br />

<br />
Hey y'all! Ryan here again with the 4th day of our little SNAAARKM Challenge...and today's theme is: Glitter, Rhinestones & FILMO, Oh My!!! So I used some of my new Ulta polishes that I haven't tried yet to make an all blue concoction inspired by my little girl Disney Princess love for Cinderella. Don't we all wish we had a fairy godmother to say <i>"bibbidi bobbidi boo"</i> and make everything all better???<br />
<br />
For the mani, I used first an ULTA jelly creme called "Bam-blue-zzled"...i freakin love the Ulta polishes' formula & color selection. Next I completely covered the ring finger with Ulta "Indigo-go Girl". I also used "Indigo-go Girl" to do slanted tips on the rest of the nails! This whole look was to represent Cinderella's beautiful baby blue glittering dress and rhinestones for her glass slippers<br />

Hey y'all! It's day 3 of the SNAAARKM challenge using a dotting tool & I've got a very short quick post for today. I'm the world's ultimate procrastinator. I just now painted my nails & got this all put together. My dotting tool mani is inspired by the fabulous Miss Nicki Minaj & her neon bathing suit in the "Super Bass" video. She's insane & fantastic. I love her music.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the mani, I used China Glaze "Celtic Sun" for the base, and China Glaze "Four Leaf Clover" and Sinful Colors "Aquamarine" for the dots. It's not my best attempt. Sorry guys! </div>
<div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Hey y'all! Day 2 of the SNAAARKM Challenge and we had to do something that is a 'classic'. I can't think of anything more classic than Marilyn's signature <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">diamonds</span></i> & <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">red lipstick</span></i>. So I wanted to create a mani that did her justice. One thing for sure, that girl knew how to "smeyes/smize" (smile with your eyes, America's Next Top Model reference). I have been recently inspired by Marilyn Monroe because of one of my new favorite shows: SMASH. It's on NBC on Monday nights at 9pm. The 1st season just finished this past Monday night. It's a fabulous show! Katherine McPhee from American Idol is a main character alongside an actual Broadway star, Megan Hilty. They are both vying for the lead role of Marilyn in a Broadway musical about her life called "Bombshell". Check it out!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">For my Marilyn <i>'diamonds & red lipstick</i>' classic mani, I chose to do a half moon mani. I did 2 coats of OPI "Crown Me Already" (a stunning blend of silver glitters). Next, I didn't have any of the little paper hole protectors to do my half-moon, so I used the tip of a fake plastic nail to make that crescent shape while I painted Essie "Forever Yummy" red over the silver glitters. The half-moon design leaves just a small round part of the 1st under color showing by your cuticle. I like how this turned out!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"> </span></div>

Hey y'all! Here's my first post for the challenge!! A JELLY SAMMICH!!!!! So I haven't done too many jelly sandwiches in my time as a blogger. {jelly sandwich}: a jelly-based polish, sheer with a layer of glitter in between 2 coats of the jelly. Over the weekend I was watching one of my favorite 80's Molly Ringwald classics: <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Pretty In Pink</span></i> and decided to do a pink sammich!!! I mean some of my favorite movies of all time are that, Sixteen Candles, & The Breakfast Club. classics. </div>

Got bored & didn't particularly LOVE the way this pink-on-pink sammich came out so I was practicing my creativity & playing with Picasa's newest editing features. I love image processing!<br />

Hey y'all! Starting today, 7 very awesome ladies and I will be starting a challenge together with 7 different days of manis! Some of these girls are seriously some of my favorite bishes on the planet. So funny & sweet & fabulous! Our posts will go up every other day at 6pm EST. I think a majority of our girls are on eastern time so that's how we decided that! It's going to be a fun challenge. Maybe stressful for me because I'm like the only one who has preswatched all the manis. I'l just be flying by the seat of my panties. Hope y'all enjoy our challenge posts! First ones will go live tonight!</div>
