Coral Splash Manicure

It's another lazy Monday hanging out with the kitty. Didn't have work today, which meant sleep in and watch movies all day. :) I did my nails this afternoon in a way that made me smile so I wanted to show you my little creation.

My nails were in need of a makeover today and after several minutes of flipping through magazines and youtube tutorials for some inspiration, I came up with something I really like. I recently took a trip to Target and got some new nail polishes, my favorite being Sally Hansen's Coral Reef. It's this beautiful coral pinkish color and I absolutely adore it, so of course I had to use it!

Now this design has nothing to do with winter, unless you spend your winter in Mexico laying out on the beach. My thought were more on the lines of summer and pink lemonade, yum. I call it, Coral Splash. 

Nail polishes used:

Sally Hansen Coral Reef

Sally Hansen Crushed

Sally Hansen White On (not pictured, sorry)

 I did two coats of the white polish to give it a good base. Then using a makeup sponge I spotted Coral Reef  all over the tips, about half way down. Let dry and then spot Crushed on top of that. I love how the two go perfect with each other. :)

p.s. this is literally my first time taking pictures of my nails so forgive me if it looks amateurish (that's because it is)

Fairy dust kisses

There's just something about a kiss that can get anybody's heart beating. Especially that first kiss, the one kiss that is never forgotten no matter how hard you try. The one kiss that starts the passionate beginning to any relationship. There's just something magical about a kiss, whether that's cheesy sounding or not. I personally envision fireworks and fairy dust whenever I have a first kiss.....kidding, not really. 

Last night, as my boyfriend was walking me to my car to say goodnight we got to talking about first kisses. There's a soccer field right outside his parent's house that made him remember the first kiss he shared with one of his past relationships in it. I then brought up ours and he laughed, our first maybe may not have been firework and fairy dust magical (he was on the phone) but it was a first kiss and that alone makes it magical. Thinking about it now, I remember the butterflies I got when he pulled me up to meet his lips. They almost burst out of my stomach. Eight months later I still get butterflies when he wraps his hands around my face and pulls me in. My mind has currently gone to Mars, so to bring it back, here are some magical pictures that celebrate first kisses. :)

Tell me about your most memorable, funniest, or sloppiest first kiss! I'd love reading about them!

Have a wonderful Sunday, whatever you are doing, and maybe try and snatch a kiss from your special someone. <3

Here we go again...

So once again, Kelly has decided to change the look of her blog. What is this, like the tenth time in the last 3 months. It's not the I have a hard time with committing to a certain look, it's just that I get so bored with it. I like changing it up every so often! I hope you guys don't mind too much with the constant header change or background change. Please forgive me for my OCD problem. ;)

Though the look I have right now, I must say, I really do love it. I found this purple chevron pattern over at StarSunflower Studio along with the many other cool patterns and buttons. Check them out, you can spend hours browsing through their hundreds of tutorials and backgrounds.

I plan on keeping this look for longer then the others, because I'm just so excited about it. I love the purple chevron with the orange text. To me, it just looks so darn awesome! I hope that this look can, let's say "brand" my blog and become the thing that screams, "oh, that's kelly elizabeth!!" That sounded cheesy, but brand cheesy.

This part is my favorite. This heart is another aspect of my blog that I hope becomes something that is related to kelly elizabeth. I also hope that you guys enjoy the new look and continue to enjoy my blog. I write for myself but I also write for you guys, I want you to read it and continue to come back. So don't be strangers and I hope to see you again.
