    Haha, you always post your new blogpost right when I get on FB quick in the morning. It’s perfect! LOVE LOVE LOVE the nails… they’re kind of vintagey and I love that! Have a good day, Missy!

      This AM was seriously a nightmare. The blasted video would NOT cooperate. Hence the volume that sounds like I’m yelling. Oopsie? Tee hee. You’ll LOVE wearing the print. It’s super fun and even cuter on toes. I just didn’t want to scare everyone away with my piglets. But you WILL get compliments left & right! Happy day to you, Miss Kerri!

    love.

    • missy July 12, 2011 at 1:37 pm

      You’ll LOVE admiring your own nails. Just be sure to watch the road. I may or may not have had a grumpy man lay on his horn while I conveniently “drifted” over into his lane to say “hello”… Haha!

    Hello rockstar diva!! You look fab in these pics! What an amazing idea with the newspaper nails! Love it!

    • missy July 13, 2011 at 12:32 pm

      Glad you like it! Yeah I thought there had to be a way to get the ink from newspaper onto nails kinda like nail art. So I started playing around and figured out what worked! Then go figure… I google’d it and looks like I wasn’t the only one with the idea. For once I thought I had invented something! haha! Oh well. 😉

  • Amy July 12, 2011 at 6:02 pm
