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!

 

 

 

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!

Be the Reason!!!

 

Love this quote!

 

 

We definitely need more lifting of each other up, more seeing the abundance of opportunities out there verses seeing others as in competition with us, more collaboration and support for each other, more sharing of our life and business stories so others can learn from both the successes AND failures or others rather leaving others floundering to get hit by the bus of life’s tough lessons. 

 

Life can be so hard sometimes and a simple smile, a hand to reach out for or an ear to listen to can make the world of difference for someone! 

 

Be the reason someone smiles today! Looking for more inspiring conversations come join us in the Totallywake4-life & Nailin' It Together community!

Self Care on the Go

Guess that’s gonna be first and last time inside a Starbucks 🤣

Unlike the coffee scrub treatment you could technically do a GelMoment manicure while sipping your Starbucks - our Essentails kit LED lamp can plug into any USB slot including a power bank so you can treat yourself to some pampering just about ANYWHERE without people calling the cops on you 🙂 

Sitting in the waiting area for your kids extra curricular activities - use the time to pamper yourself! 

Watching from the picnic table as your crew burn off some energy at the local park - great time to pamper yourself! 

Stuck on the Go train for a long commute - use the time to pamper yourself! 

When could you squeeze in some pamper you time?

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.

Favorite Ornaments and the Story behind them!

 

Over in my GelMoment  VIP group on Facebook we are sharing our favorite ornaments and the stories behind them!

 

 

 

This is one of my favorite ornaments - it’s a handmade memorial ornament for my fur baby Nevada who passed away little over three years ago.I rescued her in 2003 from a pot light in Las Vegas when on vacation ~ she was the light during a challenging time in my life!

 

 

Several months later we rescued Lily and Luna, not to replace her but to help fill the hole in our hearts she’d left behind! 

 

 

Since being infertile and having had my hysterectomy so young I had never had a “shower” of any kind so my amazing friends threw me a surprise “fur baby shower” with all sorts of fun stuff for the newest additions to our hearts and one of the gifts was this memorial ornament for our dear Nevada along with some adorable ones of Lily and Luna to add to our tree!

 

Every year I pop it up I remember not only how much we loved Nevada and what she brought to our lives but how much I really appreciated my friends in showering me with the only “baby shower” I am gonna have - a fur baby one!

 

Do you have a favorite ornament you'd like to share the story about?

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:

Just Between Us

Flawless (one coat over top of Just Between Us)

Matte'r effect

Clearly frisky

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!
