I've been on a mega mani kick lately.  As you may recall, my favorite mani is white, I know boring right?  I just love how clean my hands look so it is definitely my go to look

.  
The first trimester is coming to a close which is the hardest one on teachers, There's college recs to write, events galore which leaves little time for much else.  But I have of course sneaked in the manis!
My friend Alicia had a little Jamberry online party which added fuel to my mani obsession.  As I mentioned I am more of a classic girl and have short nails and one accent nail is as exciting as I get, but I thought I would give these a try, why not?  The style above is called Moab but I thought it was very Sedona-y so I started with that one.  I'm not gonna lie my first application was a little messy because I have this thing with not following directions to the T.  And I am a teacher, I give directions ALL DAY yet I can NOT  follow them.
I was pretty happy with how they came out and they were fun to wear, but because I was obsessed I wanted to try more.....
I wore these for about a week and got many compliments.  I was pretty happy because here in Sedona (resort town) e v e r y t h i n g costs an arm and a leg, so paying for a mani on my teacher salary is definitely out of the question.
On one of of my few expeditions off campus I HAD TO buy and test out this GEL SETTER from Essie.  It is so worth it!!!!
I used my Chanel Satin and then I added a layer of the Essie and it was AMAZING.  I know it does not look spectacular here but for me, it was spectacular!
What colors are you currently wearing?
