A sweet Spring break manicure

Today is the first day of Spring break here in Oregon. As a kid or college student this is a breath of fresh air. As a mommy it's basically a gauntlet for survival. We do have some fun stuff planned (coast trip and a family day down to Splash!) so it shouldn't be too bad....right? I type this as the kids scream at each other over a puzzle...

Anyways I scored my first Nars off a blog sale for three bucks! Or ga sm (I put in spaces so the filter alarm won't go off). It's a great peachy tone with insane golden shimmer running through it. It glows! Also the formula is a PAIN. Really glad it was only three bucks.


It's tipped with Zoya Neely and stiped with Zoya Ziv for a fashion savvy manicure. Some of my regular readers might notice my squoval tip is gone in favor of a more rounded tip. I've been digging through what's hot this Spring and I've seen this shape popping up a lot! I love the look and plan to keep it for a bit.


The golden sheen in that Nars really makes this one worth working for, but it's VERY sheer. This is two coats.

In closing I have to wonder if it's a normal thing to change nail shapes based on times in one's life. I've been trying to learn about more in the fashion world. It's not something I thought I'd enjoy, but it's turned out to be a lot of fun! Do you ever change your nail shape?

    1. I so agree - I really can't think of another polish that even comes close in terms of color and that particular shimmer. Thanks!

  2. The orange Nars polish looks gorgeous and you created an original french mani on it. I like your new nail shape. I didn't changed my nail shape from years, I usually go with square or square with round edges.

    1. Thanks so much for the feedback. Going with a new shape is always a risk, especially in blogging, but I feel it's more trendy right now and easier for work too.
