Pretty holiday nail polish

I am loving my new nail polish...so fun and festive. I only did one cost and it covers really well.... It dried super fast, which is huge because I have a hard time waiting for polish to dry...

It was on sale at rite aid for $3.99...plus you got $2 back to use on other items.... Which I did in a second transaction....

It is revlon top speed...color 860 metallic.

Just had to share because I love it so much.

I could go on and on.... I have a shoe obsession.  

 and only have super high heeled boots, which are cute but not practical with small children and my feet start to hurt.

  

What shoes are you drooling over?

Heading to the city later today...

I am going to San Francisco later this afternoon to visit my sister who is in the hospital with my niece... and to go to the Fashion Bash put on by sassy city chicks.

Read all about it here.

That's all I have time to write about at this minute... lot's to do to get out of town.

DIY Hair Feathers ... On the Cheap

So, the big girls were wanting feathers in their hair real bad... I however was not going to pay $8-$12 a feather per girl..  I was talking to my friend Meegan who is a hair dresser and she told me exactly how to do it and cheaply.  Gabby's BFF Emily from NC is staying with us for two weeks.. so I thought it would be a fun thing to do while she is here.

This list of online colleges is available for people who want to learn more about fashion,
art, and design. Making fun things is such a wonderful part of life.

Here's what I did... No photos as I could not take photos and install feathers at same time... not quite that talented.  Called around to beauty supply places to find the crimp beads used to put in extensions.  They were 25cents each so I got 2 dollars worth.  I then grabbed a bag of feathers at Michales ... there were a few different choices... I got the bright ones because I knew Gwen wanted bright colors.  Meegan also said you can get the longer skinner ones at fishing and hunting stores. 

You will also need a tiny crochet hook... (really tiny) to pull your hair through the bead and a pair of pliers to clamp bead shut over feather and hair.... that easy.  Put them about 1/4" away from scalp or they will stick out weird.

Notice the funny little man trying to get in on the photo op.

Emily has a turqouis feather, gab got hot pink and black and Gwen did hot pink as well.

Gab's feathers

Emily's feather

Gwen trying to hide her face.. silly goose.

And me... yep I even did them on my self.  Cute polka dot tiny feather up top and big black feather underneath.

You can see the black feather better in this picture.

I have yet to wash mine... but the girls swam and they are just fine.

And Graham the ham ... made me take his picture too.. not sure what this pose is all about.  He also wanted a feather.. so I barretted one in ... he got over it quick.

Going to make head bands with the girls tomorrow!

Let's call it the 24hr outfit.... Yep I was in it that long... why you ask... drank a few glasses of wine with my girl friends and ended up staying the night at Kattie's house and felt like such crap from the wine the next day that I stayed at her house until noon... Once I got home I got busy and we ended up having a BBQ with friends ... and I never got a chance to change...  for those of you who do not know me... I am not much of a drinker...  I literally had 5 glasses of wine from 6pm-1 am...  Maybe I didn't eat enough .. who knows!
