The Happiest Manicure Ever

R.E.I.T. and I live in Michigan, and as you probably know, Michigan is the single darkest, coldest, most depressing place on earth during the winter. It's wet and dank and gray all the time, from about November to about May. But then this week, a miracle happened! The sun came out, in February! And the temps were in the upper forties! I went outside without a coat on!

To commemorate this amazing occasion, I crafted the funniest, sunniest, most happiest manicure you've ever seen:
Two coats of Pure Ice "Superstar" (white) as a base for two coats of Studio M "Neon Caution", topped off with a coat of Milani "Gems". Super sunny and bright, perfect for these precious few sunny days.

R.E.I.T. says today is pink.

Today, we're going to share our pink nail polishes! R.E.I.T. thought that would be the perfect color for today.

Mommy: Is there anything you want to say on the blog today?
R.E.I.T.: Mmmhmm.
Mommy: What do you want to say?
R.E.I.T.: Whoa! Careful. Be careful with the paint.

Consider that a reminder from R.E.I.T.: Be careful with your nail polishes. If you drop them, they might break. She knows from experience.

Message from R.E.I.T.: Careful paint. Like with babies.

Because we both like pink, our pink collection takes up two photos:


L-R: Sinful Colors "Wall Street", Mary Kay "Sagewood", Sinful Colors "Wicket Mind", Sinful Colors "Bali Mist"


L-R: Sinful Colors "Forget Now", Pure Ice "Flirt Alert", Studio M "Infusion"

Hopefully that's enough nail goodness to last the weekend. Monday will by Mommy Manicure, and I'll be reviewing China Glaze "Lubu Heels".

Boring Mommy polishes

Since R.E.I.T. is tres grumpy this morning, she's taking a day off from posting. I mean, after all, she has a very busy life, and sometimes a girl needs a little extra beauty sleep or Mommy with snap like an overstretched rubber band!

Anyway, since she's not going to be involved in this post, I thought I would share the portion of our collection that she is least interested in. Yup, the polishes I use for French manicures:

L-R: Mary Kay "Natural Pink", Sinful Colors "Snow Me White", Pure Ice "Super Star!", Essie "Pink Glove Service"

Yes, I realize there are two whites there. It doesn't show very well in the picture, but they are different whites. One is more of a cool, blue based white, and the other has a slightly warmer tone. I like to have variety. And Essie "Pink Glove Service" is my go-to top coat for French manicures, or any time I'm going to just leave my nails bare, but I want a little shine. It's just barely tinted pink, not at all the bright color you see in the bottle.

Since there is nothing glittery or brightly colored about French manicures, R.E.I.T. doesn't see what all the fuss is about.
