Spent the majority of my Sunday house hunting! It was my first time checking out open houses; I had originally planned to visit just one but there were so many OH signs on the way home that we visited a whopping 8 open houses!
It didn’t help that it was sweltering HOT but I’m glad I went. The hot weather inspired me to wear some gold toned jewelry. I put my hair in a casual low pony with my bangs and long side strands framing my face.
I will start seriously househunting in the Fall but for now it’s just to figure out what I like and don’t like in a home. Even though it’s a ‘buyers market’ I still feel that homes in California are outrageously expensive. This is probably the reason why HGTV never features homes in CA. I get depressed when huge houses in the midwest and the south are around $200,000. 😛
I painted my nails in a hot pink gradient with sparkles. My guy thinks nail art is very weird and ugly but I told him that he has absolutely NO say in the appearance of my nails. Haha!

I couldn’t find the exact blog I got the tutorial from, but this one is very similar:

Gasp! Beautiful nails 😀 I got my cal gel nails done someplace fancy about a month and a half ago, but now I want to DIY at home now.. was it hard? I will check out the link, too.
It does take a little bit of practice and a good, non-smearing topcoat but it’s a lot of fun and pretty relaxing. I think I did put a little bit too much on and the polish was a little thick but it was really pretty in the end 😀
I found another tutorial here as well:
