"D" is for DAWN FARM!

I work for an amazing non-profit organization called Dawn Farm (follow the link to read about how awesome the Farm is). Every year there is a fund raiser called the Jamboree; there's a ton of cool stuff to do and its for a great cause. If you are even remotely near Ypsilanti, Michigan, I suggest you come and check it out!
BTW - one of the items in the auction is a manicure by little old me ; )

"C" is for chandelier

Well, it was an amazing vacation but I am glad to be home! I really missed my nightly nail polishing, although my nails probably needed the break.
Back to my A-Z mani project; tonight is the letter "C":

This mani just so happens to match the new Coach purse my dear Husband bought me today. I'll post pics tomorrow :)

all aboard!

We were back out on the water today, this time on a tour of shipwrecks in a glass bottom boat! After that we went to a beach we had seen on both tours and spent the rest of the day pretty much just laying around in the sand :) Another absolutely fantastic day in the U.P.

hello!

We traveled to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in the Upper Peninsula yesterday and it is so breathtakingly beautiful! Everywhere you look there are the most stunning views. We started the day with a boat tour of the lakeshore and then after dinner we drove to a nearby waterfall.

cutesville is on the road!

My husband and I are celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary this week and we are traveling across the Upper Peninsula. This means no nails, but tons of scenic stops! We were on Mackinac Island today and it was absolutely stunning.
 

brought to you by the letter B

Murdered out.

for Grandma Dolly

I'm sure everyone thinks their Grandma is awesome and I certainly think mine is. She sends me the most incredible cards and she never forgets an occasion. My husband and I will be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary on September 9th and I received this card in the mail tonight <3

Thanks Grandma Dolly xoxoxo

how d'ya like them apples?

I received 6 new image plates and I am so excited! Tonight I used plate M55 from Konad and its all fruit. I think I'm gonna do A - Z nails, starting with apples!

smells like teen angst

This is a little avril-lavigne-back-to-school-line but this plate was too hilarious to pass up. There is a spider, scorpion, skull (with crossbones), an eagle, and a cobra! Amazing! So here it is :)

flower print

I picked up a cute little print dress the other day and just happened to have the perfect greens, blues, and purples to go with it. Looks like the obsessive nail polish collecting is paying off!
I also stopped in to Zingerman's Roadhouse for dinner tonight (which was awesome, as usual) and ended up talking to a super nice couple, Ann & Matt. We got to talking about nails and purses and such, and Ann mentioned a friend who she thought might enjoy my little blog - so if you see this, hello!
So here is the dress:

and here are the nails:
