Nails
.I thought it would be nice to show a little tutorial on how I do my gel nails.. Its pretty simple now that I know what steps to follow. I'm pretty addicted and love getting new colors. I find that I like the colors of "red carpet gel nail polish" the most. I also like that they last about 3 weeks sometimes a little less as your cuticles start to grow.. I'll start with some pictures and add them as I do my nails , or other people's nails too.
The cost for all this.. Well the UV light I got on craigslist for $30, and each gel nail polish from Ulta costs $9.99, the base coat and the top coat last a really long time.
FIRST
Prep your nails ( file and remove or push cuticles back so the gel doesn't touch them)
And get your supplies..
SECOND
Apply a thin layer of red carpet base coat (structure)to your nails (make sure to get the whole nail and cap the edges so the gel wont lift). Cure them under light for 90 second.
To learn to "cap the free edges" and apply the gel click here
THIRD
Apply a thin layer of the gel color of your choice. Cure them for 90 seconds.
FOURTH
Apply a second layer of the gel color of your choice. Cure them for 90 seconds.
If by the second application you think it is too light follow step 4 again. Usually 2 coats are perfect.
FIFTH
Apply a thin layer of red carpet top coat (brilliance). Cure them for 90 seconds.
SIXTH
To remove the stickiness of the gel, wipe off each nail with isopropyl alcohol and BAM you are done!!
SEVENTH
Enjoy your nails!!!

Weekend in Payson
We went up to Payson to spend the day and get away from the heat.. It is nice that only one hour away we are able to enjoy the weather and be able to stay outside for more than a few minutes at a time. We hung out with great grandpa, Tara, Emily, grandma and grandpa.. As Tyler is getting bigger it seems that it is getting easier to travel with him without him screaming in the back seat. The only problem is when we have to spend the night somewhere different, he for sure doesn't like that!!
Cute little outfit we found the other day at TJ MAX

Watch me grow
So since Tyler was born we having been working on his baby book and another cute little book his favorite "auntie" Tara gave him. Every month we take pictures and write something about that month that he does that makes us smile. Its turning out so cute. Here are some of the pictures so far!!! By the way it is getting harder and harder to take these pictures because as soon as he sees the paper he goes for it and it goes straight in his mouth!! I have to do it super fast.
