salon effective

I fell asleep to rain on the roof here in southern California, and woke up to the same thing. While I wait for the weather to warm up, I plan to distract myself with colors and patterns galore.

For some reason, I didn't pack any nail polish for my week away from home, so naturally the only thing I want to do right now is paint my nails. I love nail strips to use as an accent on my ring finger, and probably have way too much fun coming up with different combinations.
The only negative thing I can come up with to say about nail strips is actually one of their best features--they last sooo long. So long that I get bored wearing the same print for weeks, but they're expensive enough that I don't want to waste them.

I love the idea of printed nails for summer. A fun trend I will definitely be taking part in...

  9. Such a good idea to use them as an accent nail! Then they can last for months and months if you only use one nail at a time! Haha. I even have the cheetah and tie dye ones in stock here at home haha.

    P.S. Have I mentioned I can't wait to see you? :)
