Hubby's Picks (HP35) Skittlette anyone?

I thought I'd do a pretty skittlette mani a la i Heart Pretty Polish (who is no longer blogging for the moment which is a sad, sad thing, but I understand). Check out her past posts for pretty skittle manicures that became a signature for her along with her sweater shots.

At any rate I really admire her so that makes this acceptable to do on Hubby's Picks to honor her. I added my own flair, but here you go:

The line up this week is: Fingerpaints Plum Startled, Sinful Colors Nail Art in green (a striper), HITS Air Glow, and Picture Polish Warning. I know I have a ragged cuticle in there. I'm a mommy. This happens.

This is actually a super easy week to see how to do so I'm just going to focus on some striper tips. These are a really useful nail art tool that people sometimes struggle to utilitze.

• When getting a striper pull the brush out and look at it. If there are hairs sticking out just clip them off with scissors. This will help you get a nice line. Don't be afraid to snip the tip if some hairs are longer then brush itself.
• When doing tips place the brush on the tip of the nail and rotate the nail NOT the brush. This helps get a straight line across the nail. Flip the brush and do the same from the opposite side.
• Every couple strokes put the brush back in the bottle, close it up, and gently shake it. The polish at the top tends to start to dry out and this will help get nice lines that don't smear or clump.

Happy Easter!

It's been a slow month in terms of blogging but a fast and furious month in terms of life. So here's my skittles Easter mani. For some reason skittle manicures have just been popping out to me lately. It's like my new accent nail. Maybe it appeals to my, "I have so many ideas! Oh look! I have so many fingers!" mentality. That or I get distracted easily. Which could be the very case. Hey look glitter....anywho Happy Easter to everyone!

A spotted egg, an egg with stripes, a mottled egg, a fuzzy chick, and an egg with stenciling. I loved seeing all the natural eggs and the sophisticated eggs on Pinterest and in flipping back through my Martha Stewart magazine from last year.

I mean look at those! I love the idea of eggs - the new life, new hope, new beginnings. No matter what you believe or what your walk is that is something that just rings true. It's a beautiful message that I take to heart every year.

So be blessed today in your celebrations and in making lasting memories with your family. Happy Easter!
