NOTD: Komen Race for the Cure in San Francisco

This morning, the city of San Francisco held their 21st annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure! :) For those who don't know it is a 5K walk/run for which you get sponsors to donate money toward breast cancer research. This is the second year on a row that I have participated with my best friend Kyle <3 and we plan on making this a yearly tradition for a many many more years! So in the spirit of this amazing day, I did a "manicure for the cure" lol. enjoy!

I started this manicure off with a base coat of ULTA Flamingo, then I water marbled with ULTA Flamingo and ULTA Socialite. I added some white ribbons with a nail art pen, and finished it off with some little clear rhinestones :)

NOTD: Never Forget.

As I'm sure you all know, today is the tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks on the Twin Towers at our World Trade Center in New York. It is incredible to think how drastically this country was changed in just about an hour. We will never forget the thousands of lives that were lost that day, and there aren't enough words to express my gratitude for the police officers, fire fighters, and all of the other heroes that made the ultimate sacrifice to try to protect the civilians of the United States that day and those who continue to serve and protect this country to this day, here and abroad. In memory of 9.11.2001, I have done an anniversary manicure that I hope you all enjoy. God bless America! <3 

I started the thumb with Essie Sweet Talker, then painted the Twin Towers with China Glaze Recycle, and added the date, 9.11 with a black nail art pen.

Then on my index finger, I started with Essie Mesmerized and used a dotting tool to create "stars" with OPI Alpine Snow.

The striped fingers started with ULTA Red Carpet Red, then I used tape to create the white stripes with OPI Alpine Snow.

Never Forget.
