Took a GelMoment today!

OK I Dove Right In and got some self care pampering time in this afternoon with new fingers and matching toes! 
I’ve given myself a Lovee Dovee accent nail - thinking I want to eventually add some nail art to it! Just need to narrow down a choice cause there are so many choices in my head! 


I could do an ombré of blue polka dots, a flowery or mandala stamping plate with Dove Right In tinted gel, the rainfall technique with blues/silver, a silver Cullinan shimmer or SSpectrum Chrome … how’s a girl to choose?

Be as Bold as your Polish!

Are all Whites the Same?

The biggest difference is definitely the size of the brush - Meet Me at the Chapel is perfect for French manicures and nail art while Lovee Dovee is for that full coverage manicure! 


However if you have the Creativity Set you can use the brushes within to make either one work for both by wither swapping for a larger flat brush for full coverage with Meet Me At the Chapel or the fine tip to do a French or nail art with Lovee Dovee OR you can be like me and just buy it all cause you have OCD issues with complete collections of things 🤣🤣🤣

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday?

Wednesday ... I am still over here wondering and worry about what colour polish to wear for my next manicure!
 
 May be an image of text that says 'NAKED NAILS ondl WONDERING WHAT TO WEAR? WHAT TO WEAR? WHAT TO WEAR? WHEN YOU HAVE ANXIETY HAVING TOO MANY CHOICES OFTEN OVERWHELMS THE BRAIN SO YOU OFTEN MAKE NO CHOICE AT ALL! GeLmoment™ Indei WWW.TOTALLYAWAKE4-LIFE.COM'
 
Sometimes when you have anxiety it’s just easier when someone else makes the decision for you … when I had the home childcare running I would get the little ones to help choose my next manicure colour by majority vote wins and they’d be all excited to see it the next day … somehow Paul is not quite as excited to help nor invested in the outcome as the crew was. Men, eh?

I am lucky that thanks to my GelMoment Fortify treatment my natural nails look fairly stunning even when they are naked!  

So help me choose - what is your favorite Spring colour?

Be as Bold as your GelMoment polish!

Are you a nail polish smudger?

Do you tend to SMUDGE your polish when you try to do them yourself?


The quick cure results of the GelMoment at home nail care line is definitely what drew me to give it a try when I attended a virtual party of a friend. Bring a klutz I love that with the quick cure time I can choose to do one finger at a time and still have quick results for a complete manicure! 

It’s THIS easy!

And well I am FRUGAL so being able to get amazing results at a FRACTION of the cost sealed the deal 🤣

If you want to make your life easier too grab an essentials kit - link to my GelMoment shop is here.

Just Between Us - I am in love!!!

 Getting ready to decide on my Remembrance Day manicure so checked out our team photo library and am just in love with this inspiration by fellow distributor Jordyn Bailey
 
I think it would look awesome to use the creativity set and add a poppy painting on the accent nail! 
 
I also love how the Flawless takes on a totally new shade when layered over the Just Between Us - layering or mixing is another way to double or triple or even infinity your polish colours with all the shades you can mix yourself - like channeling that inner artist and scientist all in one! 
 
Colours needed to recreate this look:
Flawless (one coat over top of Just Between Us)

Have an amazing day!

Introducing PEEL OFF!

 Love when cool new product gets released! 
 
Peel off is a brand now product - perfect for those who cannot wear nail polish at work or want a special look for day!   

 
 See it in action and get some amazing tips from Darla .... seriously it is so cool!

Like a good Fact sheet to peruse - here you go!
Look at the little polish graveyard! LOL I love that this product provides a barrier that allows you to gently peel off the gel polish without the damage that would come with traditional 'peeling' off of gel polish which is a big no no because it can pull a layer of your nail bed with it and that leads to damaged thinning beds which is no fun at all!



If you are interested in snagging yourself a bottle for the next time you want a quick polish change option check out my website!

Have an amazing day!

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Took some time out for myself today and had fun with the lovely Guinevere was totally excited to be doing some nail art for Halloween! 

Started with this inspiration from Pinterest and away we went!

 
 We chose to work with Raven's Kiss, Make Your Mauve, Lovee Dovee, Sublime and adding in some Galactic Chrome and Northern Lights to create the look we wanted with my GelMoment collection!

 I think we nailed our version!
 
 Seriously I can not love how it turned out more!!
 
I cannot stop looking at them! 
 
 They just make me smile! Not just because they are too stinking adorable but because I know if I went to a nail salon and had nail art done on 10 nails I would be looking at a HUGE bill at the check out. GelMoment allows me to have amazing nails but for a fraction of the cost per manicure or pedicure!

 
Have an amazing day!

Are your nails ready for Valentines?

Getting ready for Valentine's with my new manicure! I will likely do myself another one for the special day itself but this one is getting my spirits humming - I love February! Not for the commercialism of Valentines but I just love LOVE and pink and red and purple and glitter and bling and well do not say no to a little bit of CHOCOLATE!

 May be an image of cosmetics and text that says 'FRISK CLEARLY A CHAMPAGNE TOAST'

Love the Champagne Toast color - it is a soft delicate pink perfect for French manicure or the natural delicate full colour.

Pairs perfectly with the Southern Lights Chrome .... the Chromes are so easy to use and are a must have for anyone who loves a little glitter and glam in their life!

 The natural sunlight just makes them POP and who can't use a little pink of spring on these cold winter days?

Be As Bold as your GelMoment Polish!
