Spring Nails

On Monday I painted my nails with an Easter/ spring theme. They didn't turn out perfect, but I thought they were pretty cute.

These are the colors I used (from left to right):
- Pure Ice "Peony"
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Mellow Yellow:
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Lacey Lilac"
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Sun Kissed"
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Breezy Blue"
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "White On"

As you can tell, I love Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polish!

 

That is the finished product! What do you think? To make the polka dots I used a toothpick, which I would not reccommend doing because the polish globs onto the nails and smudges. Ugh! I got very frustrated, but it ended up looking fine.

 

Thumb- Pink base coat, orange polka dots

Pointer Finger- Yellow base coat, blue polka dots

Middle Finger- Purple base coat, white polka dots

Ring Finger- Orange base coat, pink polka dots

Pinky- Blue base coat, yellow polka dots

 

I was inspired by these two pins from Pinterest. As always, if you wish to repin either of these, please do so by following the link on the picture.

 

 



Have a great long weekend and happy Easter!

 

 

Easter Outfits

Can you believe Easter is on Sunday? It doesn't even feel like spring yet.

Today I am going to share with you three Easter outfits. Let me know which one is your favorite!

This is the fanciest outfit. It is very girly, springy, and dressy. I paired a black-and-white polka dotted dress with a coral cardigan and black flats.

For this outfit, I am wearing a floral-printed skirt, flesh-colored tights, pink flats, a white t-shirt, and a denim jacket.

If you are one of those people who just doesn't like wearing skirts or dresses, then this outfit is for you! I paired khakis with a mint polka dot top and a gray cardigan.

Happy Easter!

DIY Easter Wreath

While reading an HGTV magazine the other day, I was inspired by this absolutely adorable Easter wreath!

From HGTV Magazine on Pinterest

 

So, I decided to make my own! The original wreath called for ribbon all around, but I substituted two different kinds of fleece instead. I used a solid green fleece and a green-and-white polka dot fleece.

 

Using a rotary cutter with scalloped edges, I cut out lots and lots of fleece strips that were 8 inches long and 1 inch wide.

I ended up with a heaping pile of green fleece strips.

Next I started tying the strips onto a wooden wreath form (can be purchased from craft stores) using square knots.

Step 1

 

 

Step 2

 

 

I alternated between the polka dot felt and the green felt. After tying every strip, I pushed it very close to the one beside it, so none of the wreath form showed.

 



After all of the strips had been tied on!

 

Next, using this tutorial, I created a tulle bow.

 

The wreath form had little holes in it, so I found one and pulled a loop of tulle through it to make a hanger. Then I hot-glued the bow to the hanger.

Finally, I hot-glued four of these adorable little guys ($1.99 for six at Michael's) all around the wreath.

And here's the finished product! What do you think?

 
Happy Spring!
