Just another MANICure Monday!

Ok, seriously can y'all actually believe that the year is almost over & this Thursday is Thanksgiving! Yassss... TURKEY DAY is just a few days away! 

Speaking of TURKEY DAY my nails this week were supposed to be inspired by just that as mention on my Instagram in the attached photo. Also, this week Mimi of Lipgloss and Binky is hosting the linky so please be sure to show off your MANI by linking up!   

Ok, so in last week MANICure Monday post I mention that I needed a fill-in being that I have acrylic on top of my real nails. So whenever it's fill-in time I try and get more detail nail-art done by the professionals... Just let me say: I didn't go to my regular nail spa and went to another spot where I walked in with my nail polishes in hand and my inspired pic via Pinterest (upper left pic) thinking I would get just what I asked for! Hmmm... NO!  

 This is absolutely NOTHING like the pic... he finally told me that he didn't know how to make my nails look like the pic. Andddd to top it off... where did the WHITE  come in at???!!!! WTW???? He basically just did what he wanted to do! I could have easily did this myself. At any rate, after I told him how unsatisfied I was he agreed to give me a discount for the inconvenience. Yup, my nails are looking something like a TURKEY alright! *A JIVE TURKEY* lol

Colors ~ OPI: In my back pocket & Brisbane Bronze... not sure what white & golden color the nail tech added

Don't forget to link up weekly for MANICure Monday as this is a weekly nail polish/mani link-up that will be rotated between Lipgloss and Binky and yours truly: LA Lynn's

Oh Happy Day!!!! I hope that everyone had an AWESOME weekend!!!! As for meeee... My weekend was FABulous. I'm sure if you follow me on Instagram then you already know I was in Hilton Head, SC on a BFF Glam Getaway! (Post Coming Soon) 

So being that I just literally walked in the door and haven't even had a chance to unpacked my bags and it's my week to host the MANICure Monday linky my MANI is VERY simple but cute (so I think so)!!!! lol 

Key Items for this week Mani...Polish Remover, Cotton Balls, Nail Strips, and Polish

 Whitney "Nic" James hosted a giveaway on her blog a while back and I never got around to using these strips and figured I would finally give them a try!

Package Items + My Nails after removing last weeks polish 

Viola!!!  
The strips were actually much easier than I excepted

Polish: Prisma Item# 6368 ~ Purchased at Ross awhile back

According to the box the strips are to last up to 10 Days... Give or take I will only need them for about 5 days since it's almost fill-in time. So I won't get a chance to see if they actually last that long

Cheetah: Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips

What do think of the Sally Hansen Salon effects strips? 
Have you ever tried them?  

MANICure Monday is a weekly nail polish/mani link-up that will be rotated between Lipgloss and Binky and yours truly: LA Lynn's

Loving Lately... CAP TOE Shoes

 

Today, I'm linking up with Lipgloss and Crayons for lovely lately but before I go into my actual post I want to say (2) two words:

GO VOTE!!!!!!

Ok, now that I’ve gotten my political stand point out of the way… I want to share what I’m loving lately which would have to be the CAP TOE shoes… No matter if they are flats, pumps, or boots the CAP TOE shoes are MUST HAVES & sooo NECESSARY!!!!

 I was 1^st introduced to CAP TOE shoes back in Spring of this year when I saw

Solange Knowles rocking them at an event.

Once I saw So-So ROCK her CAP TOE shoes I knew I had to have them in my shoe collection!

Throughout my search here are a few of my findings:

FLATS

1.    Steve Madden 'Jazzhan' Flat - $100 - Nordstrom

2.    DV Dolce Vita Smoking Shoes - $79 - Bloomingdales 

3.    Neon Cap Toe $9.99 - Wet Seal

4.    Cap-Toe Ankle Strap Flats - $19.80 - GoJane

Pumps

1.    Chain link cap toe platforms - $18.95 - GoJane

2.    Quilted Cap Toe Platforms - $31.95 - GoJane

3.    ASOS PLUTO Pointed High Heels with Metal Toe Cap - $63.32 - ASOS

4.    Two Lips Trinket via Zappos - $60.99 - Zappos

Booties/Boots

1.    Michael Michael Kors Cynthia Printed Bootie - $230 - Lord and Taylor

While on my hunt I did happen to find a pair neon Cap Toe shoes for $9.99 at Burlington  that most of you have seen me wear:

Nonetheless, if you follow me on Instagram then you saw me post this pic last week when I placed my order for (2) two pair of Cap Toe shoes from GoJane

And, guess what? They ARRIVED & I am completey satisfied... 

 They were only $22.50 per pair + FREE SHIPPING 

 "Sooo.. this is what I'm loving lately: CAP TOE SHOES"

Will you be indulging in Cap Toe shoes this Season?

Note to You: I have a very narrow foot and like with most pointed toe shoes these run narrow so if you have a wide foot you may want to take that in consideration.

Just Another MANICure MONDAY

Happy Mondayyyy... hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! Well, as you already know today marks: Just Another MANICure Monday. This week Mimi of Lipgloss and Binky is hosting the linky so please be sure to show off your MANI by linking up! 

Colors of Choice: OPI White, OPI Blue: Blue my mind & OPI Red: Color so hot it berns

I wasn't sure what colors I would go with this week but since this week is the FINAL week for the Presidential Election and tomorrow marks the last day for voting I figured I would be PATRIOTIC with my nails. 

Ok, after I loaded the pictures I notice my hands were a lil ASHY!!! Sorry... lol

I will gladly do a step-by-step tutorial on the stripes and dots if needed. 

SN: All you need is nail tape for the stripes and a Q-tip for the dots.

Also, if you are wondering... these are my nails but I do have acrylic on top of my real nails to keep from breakage. I go and get the acrylic re-applied once a month in between time I do my polish changes. ^_^

Note to You: If you haven't already VOTED in the Presidential Election please do so... O, and don't forget to join the POLISH PARTY & LINK UP over on Mimi's Blog we would LOVE to see your MANICure.      

~Until next time…

Peace, Love, & Fashion  Polish
