My nails today were in desperate need of a manicure, so I decided to go ahead and polish them this evening.  So, I chose a fun summer color from Sinful Colors Professionals called Big Daddy.  I applied two coats of Big Daddy's nail polish and for my base and top coat I used Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Invisible.  I love how my nails turned out:)

Linking up with Heather from Glitter & Gloss for her Mani Monday, hope to see you there:)

Last month I decided to sign up again for the Karing Card Club, this is my second time participating in this club and I really enjoy doing so.  Also, for the month of May our theme was Friendship and for  those of you who aren't familiar with the Karing Card Club, it's a great way to support other bloggers by sending them handmade or a store bought card.  Also, each month there is a theme for the card.
If you would like to participate in June's Karing Card Klub exchange, please click here.

So, I was partnered with Monica and I sent a lovely card about friendship and she also sent me a lovely card about friendship as well.  Here are some photos of my lovely card from Monica:

Welcome to A Lovely Blog Hop, where each Thursday we have the grand opportunity to meet and connect with lovely new bloggers, such as myself! Now you have something to do and somewhere to go on Thursdays!

I was in need of a manicure today, so I thought I would go ahead and give myself one:)  So, I began to trim and file my nails.  I chose the color red, and I used SinfulColors Professional Nail Enamel Ruby Ruby and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Invisible as my top coat.

Here's a photo of my manicure:

Yesterday we received 6 or more inches of snow here in Indiana which meant there were some school delays, and several school cancellations including my sons school.  So today, I decided to wear something comfortable, warm, but cute:)  I love this shade of purple, although I've owned this top from Banana Republic for several years now I haven't worn it in awhile.  For today I decided to wear my purple top with a pair of skinny jeans, black flats & handbag, and black and gold accessories:)    

I recently had a manicure and this particular time my manicurist used IBD's color Lust Polish UV Gel on my nails.  I liked this particular color on my nails and I also liked how my nails turned out:)  I'm linking up with Heather from Glitter & Gloss for her Mani Monday.
