Moscato Cocktail and a Jelly Sammich Manicure

Happy Friday Lovelies!  Today I have a super girly mani and a super girly drink :)  Have y’all done your Christmas shopping yet?  I feel like I’m really behind and its freaking me out!  I absolutely HATE the crowds at the malls – ugh!  People are so rude too!  Anyways, this drink would be great to have with your girlfriends after a long, hectic day of Christmas shopping. 

You’ll Need:

3 oz. Moscato (the recipe is from Sutter Home, but Barefoot is by far my favorite)

1 oz. Vanilla Vodka

1 oz. Strawberry Soda (when was the last time you had THAT?!)

Ice

Make It!

Shake moscato and vodka with ice.  Strain into a glass and top with strawberry soda.  Find a comfy seat, pop in Magic Mike and enjoy a fun girls’ night in! :)  I can definitely see myself drinking a ton of these!  Maybe buy a couple bottles of wine ;)

Girly Jelly Sammich Mani

I love the jelly sandwich mani look (I did one with China Glaze Ride the Waves and Different Dimension Social Suicide in this post), but I can never find jelly polishes ;(  Well, THIS is a great one!  I found Essie Sugar Daddy at Target.  It’s a very very sheer light pink.  I picked up China Glaze Make a Spectacle at Sally a couple weeks ago.  I thought they went perfect together.  As a bonus, it kinda matches the drink!  Love it when stuff accidentally matches! :P 

Jelly Sammich with Essie Sugar Daddy & China Glaze Make a Spectacle

I have been wanting to step up the nail art a little bit for my weekend posts, so I was going to do some stamping, but that turned out too light and you couldn't really see it.  I decided on dotting after that.  I’m not happy with how they turned out :(  I didn't really have a clear idea in my head, so I’m sure that’s why it’s absolutely horrible.  But here they are … another nail fail in my book! lol should have just kept the jelly sammich as it was!

I started with my large dotting tool and made the top silver holo glitter dot (Nicole by O.P.I. Make a Comet-ment) then I dotted the three large pink dots (Essie Mod Square) then the smaller dark brown dots (O.P.I I Brake for Manicures).  I didn't like it, so, the only sensible option?  More glitter!!  I added small holo silver dots to the very tips.  Absolutely terrible!  I took it off immediately! 

Looking back, I think if I had added some more smaller overlapping dots, it would have turned out better.  Ehh well.  Live and learn. 

Have a great weekend loves!  See you back for Swatch Tuesday :)

Thanksgiving Week: Day 5 - Yellow Cake

It's here!  Happy Thanksgiving!  Gobble Gobble, all that nonsense.  It's 7am and you've probably been cooking since 4 (bless you).  As I'm sure you've already heard "Why are you doing it like that?", "Where is this?", "Should this be burning?", "CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!!" many more times than you'd like.  Don't feel guilty, just take a shot...or threeish.  "Yeah mom, it's just pineapple juice..."

Picture found here.
Sweet shot glass!

You'll Need:
1/3 oz Vanilla Vodka
1/3 oz Triple Sec (or whatever sour mix you have)
1/3 oz Pineapple Juice

Make It!
It's obviously a shot, but you could definitely stretch this out into a regular drink :)
