Spring Sprint Baby! Scentsy Spirit!

This saturday I am so excited to be able to attend a mini Scentsy convention called Spring Sprint.  For those who don't know what Spring Sprint is, it is a time for Scentsy consultants to all gather together and gain some amazing training.  I have been with this amazing company for over 2 years now and am so excited to be able to attend my very first event!!!  Yahhhh!  I am super stoked to finally get to meet so many amazing women from my own team, so I thought I needed to show my spirit with some fun and funky scentsified nail art!  So here is what I came up with.

Is that a fun design or what?  LOL  To me it looks like fireworks.  I started this design by first doing a basic french mani.

  

I begin my french mani by first painting half of my nail with a white polish, then I use my Avon eye liner brush dipped in polish remover.  I use a sweeping motion from side to side to get the crisp clean line.  This brush is my absolute favorite as it has short firm bristles.  You can purchase this brush HERE for only $3.99.

Pictured above are the colors I used to complete my look.  Eva, Brandt, Gayle, and Sienna from Julep.  Then on top I added Let's Get Star-ted from Nicole by Opi.  With these colors I used a brush from an empty nail art bottle and made short strokes from the side of my nail towards the middle.  I started with my darkest color and then ended with the gold.  Then topped that with my Let's Get Star-ted because I absolutely needed to have purple stars for a Scentsy Manicure!

So there you have it, at least my nails are ready for my first Spring Sprint!  So excited and cannot wait to attend!  Watch for pictures from the event in a coming blog post. 

My top 3 hand/nail products from 2012

Here is a list of my must have hand/nail products from 2012.

The first thing I recommend is investing in a base and top coat.  You do not need to spend a lot of money to get a great quality product.  I highly recommend the PRO-FX line that you can purchase at your local Walmart for only $4.97.  I call these my miracle products lol  Without them I would be back to horribly short nails. The price is amazing as these are huge 75 ml bottles.  I personally use the Protein Enriched Base Coat & Revitalizer and the Quick Dry High Gloss Top Coat.

You will want to keep your hands moisturized, especially during these cold winter months.  So the next thing I recommend is finding a hand lotion that you love.  I am partial to the Layers by Scentsy hand cream (My opinion is biased thou as I do sell this product)  I use lotion on my hands several times daily and a small amount goes a long way with this product.  The cost is $7 for an 85g tube and comes in a large variety of scents.  Visit Scentsy to find a consultant near you.

Julep has an amazing product.  I fell in love with their Essential Cuticle Oil when I received it as one of my items from one of their mystery box's.  This product is a little bit pricey but I still love it! Apply this oil daily to your cuticle's to strengthen your nails and maintain your manicure.  This product sells for $18 or $14.40 if you are a Julep Maven.  Become a Maven with Julep to receive 20% off and free shipping on all orders.  

There you have it, my top 3 products that I cannot live without.  These products help me maintain healthy looking beautiful hands and nails.  I hope you find this information helpful.
