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 🤣🤣🤣

Pancake Tuesday

 I’ll take any excuse for pancakes over here! 

My favourite recipe is from All Day I Dream about Food 

Ingredients
4 large eggs
¾ cup almond milk
¼ cup avocado oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups blanched almond flour (about 250g)
¼ cup Swerve Sweetener
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Additional oil for the pan

Instructions
In a large blender, combine the eggs, almond milk, oil, and vanilla. Blend 30 seconds to combine. Add the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt and blend again until smooth. Let the batter rest 5 minutes.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add lightly grease with a little oil. Use about 3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake and spread into a 3 or 4 inch circle. Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to appear on the tops and the edges are set and dry, 2 to 4 minutes.

Carefully flip the pancakes and continue to cook until golden brown on the second side, another 2 to 4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.

Bon Appetite

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:

Just Between Us

Flawless (one coat over top of Just Between Us)

Matte'r effect

Clearly frisky

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!

 

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!
