Beyonce Inspired Nails

Wow! 

I haven't done a blog post in soooo long!! I've been such an Instagram whore!!

Well I've been working on these manis for a little while now. I finally finished them and posted them on my Instagram page last night and whoa...!! People loved them!! So I figured why not post them on my blog too, since blogging is where my nail polish madness began...

Jeffrey Campbell Knock Offs

My daughter's high school graduation is next friday!

There's not much "fashion" or "beauty" to a Cap & Gown. But with Dajha being so "fashion forward", I knew she was gonna think of a way to stand out from the crowd. So in this case, she chose to amp up her shoe game!

If you have never visited the Knock Me Off blog, shame on you! Head over there right now and check them out. If there's something you want but it's way too expensive for your budget, but you really love it, they will find a great priced replica and post them both for you. That's how we found these beautiful Jeffrey Campbell The Night Walk Shoes

The "Real" ones are only $170, which are actually kind of affordable...

But why buy the real ones when you can get these from gojane.com for $34!!
Honestly, there can't be much difference. What do you think? The one thing that sold Dajha on this shoe was that the replica had a beautiful velvetty red sole (Louboutin style), but the authentic JC shoe sole is solid black.
I can't wait to see her all dolled up in these fabulous shoes. They are truly a beautiful work of art, just like her! Thanks to the folks at Knock Me Off and thanks to you for reading!

The Blue That Beyonce Made Famous

This is Baker Street by Nails Inc.

I had seen many photos of celebs wearing this gorgeous blue on their nails, but it took me a while to find out exactly what blue it was. 

Then about a month ago, I saw photos of Beyonce and Angela Simmons wearing this color on The Fashion Bomb Blog. The color really took off when it was blogged that Beyonce wore this blue in honor of the birth of her baby girl Blue Ivy. So I decided to I log onto the Nails Inc. site to buy it, but for some reason it would not let me purchase it, maybe because it was an international purchase. Crazy website. Oh well. So then I decided to place a phone order...international call...crap! Nevermind. I was sad.

Then I went back to her blog again and noticed the Sephora link. Score! Nope. Sold out. Lose. Sad again.

But I kept checking back, and it was finally in stock again! Yay me! This is the best electric blue ever! 


My favorite blue used to be Revlon Royal.

Then it was Essie Aruba Blue

But there's a new blue in my life yall...Baker Street is my new number one! It's so vibrant and cheerful. And it's a great Spring/Summer color. I can't wait to try it on my toes...I love it!
