"These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things"

 No, I'm not going to start singing songs from "The Sound of Music." Though, I do love the movie and it really should be included in my list of favorite things, there is a certain time and place for that.  "Here are a few of my favorite things!"

 The perfect pair of jeans.

Our favorite television show.
(If you haven't seen Gilmore Girls, I HIGHLY recommend it! All the seasons are on DVD and on Netflix, as well on ABC Family and the Soap Network. Also, don't worry, there will be a full post on our crazy Gilmore Girls obsession soon!)

My love for Frank, Magic and Scorch. (It's a long story.)

Killer suede vest.

Harry Potter books AND movies.
(I have read and watched all the movies more times then I can count *or should count really, I'm sure it's an embarrassing number* but I still can't get enough! Accio Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!)

The most amazing boots in the whole, wide world.

Two-Buck Chuck. 

Kiss my lips.

Winnie, a.k.a. My Crazy Cat

The key to achieving perfect hair.

Sunflowers.

Hedgehogs! Ah! So cute!

My folk guitar. 

Elton John  and Taylor Swift.

And last but not least, my friends!

Josepher, Miss Heather, Tom, Miss Mel, T.J., and Ochs.

Shatter!

Miss Mel and I have always been obsessed with nail polish, so obviously when O.P.I. came out with their Shatter line I HAD to have it! I only have the black as of right now but that's because I've found it looks great with most colors, which I demonstrate in my pictures below. The basic concept of Shatter is that you paint a base coat of some color then paint the Shatter over your nails. The Shatter goes on like any other nail polish but when you give it a few seconds to dry it starts to "crackle" or "shatter". ( I mean it's named shatter for a reason!)

I made a little tutorial just in case you were still a little lost!

1. Choose a color you would like to be your background color. Paint your nails with that color and let them dry completely.

2. Next is the fun part! Paint the Shatter over your nails in one thin layer. This is important because if you do it too thick or try to keep painting over the same spot you will not get the desired "crackle" effect.

3. Next step watch as your nails transform and enjoy!

My favorite part has to be how it looks as if I went to a salon to get this done but it was as all done in one stroke. Now you need to head to your closest O.P.I. distributor and pick up your very own bottle of shatter and try it out! I think I may be gifting myself the silver very soon...
