A La Mode

Hello, hello!  I hope your weekend is going well :)  I slept in for the first time is a while and it was great!  Just finished having breakfast with my honey and spending time on the couch with the fam-bam *sigh*... it's been nice haha.

 

Well, for today's mani I was inspired to do nail art that matched a new dress of mine (I have made a personal challenge to own 50 dresses by the end of the year, I'm halfway there!  I love love love dresses!  I found some on clearance at Target yesterday and snatched them up.)  I really like matching my mani's to my outfits, hence the title of this post.  Here is it's meaning according to Wikipedia...

à la mode

idiomatic: in the style; In the United States, the phrase is used to describe a dessert with an accompanying scoop of ice cream (example: apple pie à la mode). In French, it just means trendy. Boeuf à la mode for instance is a beef recipe with ale, carrots and onions.

The dress and sweater (currently being worn)...

And the nails...

 Colors Used: Revlon - Bare Bones, Sinful Colors - Midnight Blue, O.P.I. - The "It" Color

2 coats of each polish (3 for It Gril) and some simple dotting :)  Topped it off with Love & Beauty's Quick Dry Top Coat (found at Forever 21), love this stuff!  It is a close second to Julep's topcoat which I went gaga over lol.  Please excuse the horrendous state of my cuticles.  My skin has been ridiculously dry the past couple of weeks and nothing seems to be helping :(  I'm planning on upping the water intake.

My nails with the skirt...

Overall I'm very pleased with how it turned out.  I feel like they are very "me" :D

I have some exciting news to share... I've reached 25 followers!  Yayayayayayayyy!!!  Lol.  I'm so thankful and appreciative of you all, so as promised I am going to host a giveaway :)  Details will be coming soon and I apologize but it will only be open to US residents for the time being (so so so so sorry!).  With that having been said...

Until next time!
