Olive Oil and the rest

So I tried soaking my fingers in olive oil at the beginning of my at home manicure.  WONDERFUL!!  My fingers felt so smooth and my cuticles pushed back with little resistance. (BTW, cutting a Q-tip in half and using the none fuzzy end for this works well enough if you don't have the special tool, an orange stick I believe it's called though I don't know).  My fingers still feel soft today even after doing dishes!  Would definitely recommend.  Then I clipped, filed, and buffed my nails and painted them in Baguette Me Not by OPI.  I like this color.  It's orangey and subdued enough for fall yet still has enough of a pink shade to remind you of summer, plus I like the name ( I usually do).  Not sure what my next try will be but I like to wear my nail polish until it starts to chip pretty heavily.

  1. I love this color. Definitely fits into the "mama mauve" trend that has happened in the last few years. So excited to read more on your awesome blog, Katie! :)
