My 2012 Summer Bucket List

Hopefully I'll be able to accomplish everything on my list! I could've listed a lot more on there, but to keep things simple, I'll start here. Also, this was the first document I've ever made using photoshop. Do you use it? I have no idea what I'm doing. That's probably another goal I should set: learn how to use this thing! Any tips? How do you all make your posts look so pretty?

What's on your summer bucket list?

Tough as Nails

I seriously did not join the nail polish bandwagon until this year. Being a pianist, there's always been this urge never to paint your nails for fear of distraction or ruining the keys. But this year, I didn't look back and now my nails have to have a color on them at all times.

I've definitely given into bright peaches, pinks and oranges for summer. I just think they're all fresh and bright and go from day to night instantly.

But then I look around on blogs and Pinterest and find so many different types of nail art. So what do you gravitate towards? Do you just play with pretty solid colors of all hues? Or do you decorate with a little extra sparkle? Or mix both?

I love adding a little bit of sparkle to my everyday summer wardrobe, but I don't always take the time to add it to my nails. Do you? Does it live up to the gorgeous images? I'd love to try it if it works! For now, I'll just stick with my regulars: Essie's Olé Caliente, Meet Me at Sunset and a Crewd Interest.

 Happy Tuesday!
