mani monday- let's just use every single color we own!

my 3 little girls love to get their nails painted
and the last time we did it was ummm, february i think
(let the mom guilt begin...)
so, we broke out our old, mostly goopy polish & went to town.
next time i won't wait so long, considering how happy they were painting their nails

sofia opted for rainbow nails...or "wainbow" nails as she calls it :)

swede wanted red white and blue for the 4th, she painted these all by herself
too bad 99% of the paint will be goners by the time the 4th rolls around

ingrid also painted hers by herself.
she's the "put as many colors on top of one another and see how thick you can make the polish" type of girl.

i tried a colorful, geometric look on mine using tape to make straight lines.
it kinda matches my new blogger banner :)
it's a miracle they turned out as well as they did considering how old and goopy our nail polish is!
I'm linking up with Heather and Heather for ManiMonday!



have a really awesome day, mmkay?

jade is the new black

My mom called me up saturday morning and asked me if i wanted to go with her to get a pedicure....i've never actually had a "real" pedicure before...just the beauty school version.  so, this was a fun first.
first to pick a color:

Umm, yeah there were a few to choose from.

I felt like i stepped right into the nail place from King of Queens {anyone know what I'm sayin?} they were all asian and they liked to speak to eachother in their native tongue...

they had really nice massage chairs with attached foot baths.  This is my mom :)

and here are my feet, tan lines and all.  this nail guy kept making jokes but we only understood about half of what he said.  I did hear "this a sexy color" hahaha

the finished product.
my color of choice: "jade is the new black" sort of a chalkboard green with "catch me in your net" a sparkly teal on top...a very mermaid-ish color ;)
ma's color of choice: this purple that goes by the name of "polish" woah, creative name :)

fun times :)
