Before having children, I was a maniac about getting my nails done. My girlfriends and I had a little nail shop off campus that we'd go to each Friday to get our acrylic nails filled, and polished. The stories that the nail tech used to hear out of us, we were a bunch of crazy maniacs... Though all the years, and color fads, I have two favorites, Dutch Tulips and OPI Red. Okay, make it three, I do {heart} a good french pedicure too!
Now, as a daycare provider, and a mom, I haven't been to have my nails done in simply ages. That is, unless you count accidentally airbrushing my thumb blue with my Copic the other day (seriously, my nail is blue!)
I do however, simply relish the chance get a great pedicure, for me, its a MUST DO before any vacation and a few times each summer. I love cute summer flip flops, which of course require a great pedicure job!
Some day, when my boys are older, hopefully I'll be able to sneak out again for weekly manicures, I love just having to sit still for a while. And, I'm such a busy body that I love all the comings and goings of a salon, seriously GREAT people watching. Come on, you know you love that too.....
This set "Perfectly Polished" is the latest release from Rupa Shevde for Gina K Designs. So many fantastic girly images from both the salon and the spa. I can't wait to blurf around and see what the rest of the team has done. I stamped my bottles once to the paper, and then again to scrap, to pop them up one layer. I coated each bottle with my Spica pen for a quick shine.
You won't want to miss Gina's blog this week, she'll have previews every single day, and you know, she's always giving things away during release week!!
Two sets are being previewed today - you'll find all the samples here:

This is just GORGEOUS, Joanne! Love the black and white against the brightly colored polish bottles! Maybe you're on to something...airbrushed manicures! :)
What a fun card! I have had one manicure and by the end of the day it was ruined because I had some stamping to do... and I'm a rather messy stamper, I guess! lol! Now as for a pedicure... I'm all over that!
