Pippa Pedi!

Hey y'all! As I mentioned in one of my last couple posts, I recently went and got a pedicure from this nail salon that just opened by the Starbucks I work at. (For Dallas people - it's at Preston and Frankford in north Dallas and is called Venice Nails) They were doing 40% off services so a few of the other girls I work with and I set up an appointment and got pedicures!

I was really excited because my friend Sarah picked one of my polishes to use and she picked Zoya Charla! She loved it :)

I decided to go with the "Cucumber Pedicure" (they also had Lavender, Milk and Honey, Sunkissed, Tea Infusion, maybe a couple others I can't remember). They put like a scrub on my legs, lotion, warm oil and rubbed warm stones on my calves, massaged my calves for FOREVER (which was amazing), put my feet in a bag of wax, the whole nine yards! The pedicure was supposed to last an hour but it was at least an hour and fifteen minutes, probably more like 90 minutes by the time I let it dry and walked out the door. $27 well spent, it was pure relaxation!

Here is a picture of my legs with lotion and cucumber slices on them, haha! The other girls were LOLing in their seats! It's cool though, my legs felt sooooo smooth afterwards!

As you can see, I chose Zoya Pippa for my color, topped with Ulta Pinata-Yada-Yada for some bling! Believe it or not, it actually tones down the yellow nicely!

What do you guys think?

Mango Piñata - Franken!!

Hi guys!

OK I am getting totally into Frankens. I may have a problem.....we'll see soon I guess! So my second franken attempt turned out so well, I decided I had to make more! I went to Walmart and picked up some more clear polish, some BB's (to put in the polishes to help them shake up!), and came home and got to work on Franken #3, which I am dubbing Mango Piñata.


I combined:
Approximately 1/3 Wet'n'Wild Clear
Approximately 1/3 Forever 21 No Name Coral color
Approximately 1/3 Ulta Piñata-Yada-Yada
And a little dash of Petites Mango
Plus 2 Balls


I was totally inspired by Cristina's recent Franken (HERE) that had the same glitter polish in it, but decided to go for a saucy bright color! I love her super jelly finish on that one, and think maybe if I replicated Mango Piñata that I might do a tad less color, a tad less clear, and a tad more glitter! A tad is a very scientific unit, you know!


Here is the end result! I like it! Not quite as jelly as Pink Lily Love, a bit more opaque, with a little sparkle from the confetti! I wish that Piñata-Yada-Yada showed up a little better but I think it's just so dense, it's hard to get it evenly distributed in the bottle. Much shaking is needed, I think.

Yay! What do you all think? :)
