Ombre + Glitter + Hurricane + HELLO!

What a way to start a blog!

Hi friends!  I'm Jenn!  And at the moment, I'm already suffering from cabin fever because of Hurricane Irene.  It's no laughing matter, I know.  But being in NYC, they shut down all transportation, so I'm pretty much stuck in my midtown home until further notice.  What better time then to start this blog!

I used to be an acrylic french manicure girl, and nothing else.  My love of manis and fun polish colors flourished into a healthy obsession a couple years ago, and I've been playing with the idea of starting a blog ever since.

I really do believe that a little manicure can make you feel 100 times better.  It takes 40 minutes, and around $10 dollars, and you just feel BETTER.  (If you don't believe me, try it...  If you still don't believe me, get your fave latte first, then go in and try again.)

I'll start with this little look!  I love glitter, I love ombre...  (yes, even with hair, I did it last year) So here's a winning combo!

I used:
-Martha Stewart's Glitter Pens
-ORLY Won't Chip








Ugh, these photos look awful.  I have tiny hands, yet I had the hardest time trying to make them not look like alien hands...  I'll practice, I promise.

I just took the colors in order basically, applied them onto freshly buffed nails, and covered them with 2 coats of ORLY's Won't Chip.

They sparkled beautifully, and now I'm officially obsessed with those glitter pens for absolutely EVERYTHING!  I'll definitely be staring at these lovelies while I'm waiting for the storm to pass.

DON'T GIVE UP ON ME!  This post is ugly...  I'm sorry.  It'll be awesome soon, I promise.  Follow me for more fun manicure ideas!
