Guest Post: Nikole
Hey Everybody! My name is Nikole, and I wanna share with you guys few fingernail tips :)
You don't have to be an artist to do your own nails
AND make them super cute.
Tip 1:
Scribbling looks cute on nails!
For these nails, I just got some white polish on a toothpick and scribbled!
Big drop of white polish?
No problem! I just used the toothpick to the drag nail polish into more interesting designs.
Tip 2:
Clean your nails before applying nail polish.
Even if your nails are free of any previous polish, dab some polish remover on them to remove any residue.
The less residue on your nail,
the longer the polish will stay on!
Tip 3:
Painting your finger or skin is not a big deal!
Removing polish from skin is simple! Just use a Q-tip and some polish remover.
You don't have to spend a ton of time trying to "color in the lines"
mistakes are incredibly fixable!
Tip 4:
Post-its are your best friend.
It is so easy to get straight lines with post-it notes.
For these nails, I just painted them all yellow, stuck the post-it note on, and painted the rest of my nail green with NO worries about the green getting on the yellow. :)
Tip 5:
Add some diversity!
Not every single nail has to be the same!
Painting one nail a little differently can be quite intriguing :)
Finally,
Tip 6:
Stickers. Seriously, stickers can make your nails look SO good in literally one second.
Just make sure to paint a clear top coat over the sticker so that it stays :)
I love doing my nails. It's so relaxing, fun, and inexpensive!

A Little Pinspiration!
Are you guys getting sick of me talking about our future home?
I know a lot of my friends are haha but I can't help it!
It is sooo exciting when and if we get a house!
The one thing I told the hubby that we need in a house is a dinning room.
We love to entertain, all the time, and I want room to do that. So Family dinners can sometimes be at our house!
This week I went on a kick and pined a ton of dinning room inspiration.
Which ones your favorite?
I love the gray in this room, and I have always wanted a bench dinning room table!!
Oh my the brightness and the bookcase! amazing!
Don't like the super bright color, but the table and gallery wall, dream dinning room for sure!
Another gallery wall! I love the globe light and the round table....might need to get one of those!
I really Really love the light! I would love something like that over my table!
Linking up at The Vintage Apple!!
Ps after work today we are going to look at 7 houses! Wish us luck! I would love a new house with a dinning room ;)
