Summer nails♥

Hey beauties♥ Long time no talk.

This post is allllll about nails. I've never been a huge nail fanatic...I even used to bite my nails into little nubs up until I was about 22 years old. The only reason why I stopped bitting them is because I simply hated the look of my hands and I despised going to the nail shop. I then decided to grow and do my nails myself.

Here are a couple of tips for some of you lovely lazy ladies that prefer doing at home mani's and pedi's...

Make your own hand scrub

A great hand scrub will leave your hands incredibly super baby soft as it exfoliates the skin, leaving it to look younger and healthier. You do NOT need to break the bank for a hand scrub. Just try some of these fabulous recipes...

Vanilla Sugar Scrub

1 Tahitian Vanilla Bean

1 1/1 cups sugar

Split bean and remove seeds.

Mix seeds well in sugar, then place the bean skins in sugar.

Brown Sugar Scrub

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1/4 cup of almond oil

1/4 cup of liquid Ivory hand soap

1/4 tsp of vanilla

Mix ingredients and use as a body scrub/exfoliator.

You can also soften your cuticles by soaking your fingers in lukewarm water infused with essential oils and delicous smelling soap of your choice for a few minutes prior to applying your scrub.

Use a very fine emery board to buff nails then apply your favorite color!

Here is my absolute fave look for the summer...

It's something about having nails that look like cute colorful candy drops that make my heart swell♥

Try these out and let me know how it goes!

Lot's O' Beauty Discounts ♥

Hey Cupcakes. Glad to be back♥ I was having health "issues" for a minute until I was eventually admitted into the hospital. Most tramatizing experience I've gone through folks. If I wasn't scared shitless of needles before, I am now. My arms and hands are still healing from the numerous times I was poked in them because the nurses couldn't get blood.

Enough of the depressing stuff for now though. I'm back to blogging which I love :)

I've recently become a frugal coupon cutting queen and I've got some really cool discount codes and coupons from some of our favorite stores. Try them out chica's!
