I'M A ROCKSTAR

Fun Kick Ass Manicure #2 by Marcia from Nails by ME


Each time I visit Marcia I plan on trying out something new. Little did I know that Marcia already had something in mind for me for this visit: Spiderweb Minx!! She knew that I wanted to try out the RockStar nail treatment for this visit, but she decided to throw a little bit of Minx in the mix :)

Rockstar is a nail process that uses GLITTER as your polish!!!!! Try it!!! :)

I LOVE how it turned out!!

What is even better--Marcia helped me figure out what my costume is going to be this year! 
Very fitting!
It kinda goes with the nails :)

Guess you'll have to wait until Halloween to find out!

p.s. Did I mention that Marcia models on the side in addition to doing nails? How sweet is that? I just saw pics from a Zappos job she did last week featured on the site right now! So Cool! :)

**For those of you (specifically Emily) who want to know how the last manicure turned out:
The shellac (by CND) treatment lasted about 2 weeks, and would have lasted longer if my pointer and ring fingers wouldn't have chipped. As soon as they chipped (one from each hand :/ ) I began picking at them all and eventually took all the polish off. The same can be said about the Minx that I had on my thumb and ring finger--however, they didn't chip, I just pealed them off because everything else was coming off.
Had I not picked and peeled, both polishes would have lasted 4 weeks MINIMUM!

I highly recommend either treatment for your nails! Both offer fun and exciting options!

OH MY GOODNESS!

Do you know what I did this week??

Are you ready for it??

I wore boots!

YAY!!!!
It's about damn time! I've been waiting for boots season FOR MONTHS NOW!
Thank goodness for side bartending jobs last Thursday night :)


 Dress: Target [scored on sale a few weeks ago for $10]
Cardigan: Kohl's (I think)
Boots: Nine West Vintage America Collection [blogged about here]
Necklace: New York & Co. [worn many, many times]


Someone told me that I need to stop covering my face with my camera phone...
I tried this time! :)


Ooh, and did I mention that I got my nails done too?


Well I did :)

I went to an AMAZING lady, Marcia, a few doors down from the Bistro who has her shop mixed in with her sister's clothing boutique.
I had Such a Great time.
Honestly the best nail job ever!



I wanted to do something different and a little bit crazy.
I think a fishnet design was the right fun choice.
Thanks to Marcia for taking me into it!

The fishnet design is a process called Minx... follow the linky--the process and design options are AWESOME!
It's pretty crazy... all affixed with heat and lasts for weeks!
The nail color on my other fingers is a shellac [by CND] treatment...  follow the linky as well--this one is cool too!
That last for a few weeks as well--WITHOUT chipping!


I can't wait to do the next design... I'm thinking glitter--LOTS OF GLITTER!
