Another day, another manicure… Ha! As if! I just realized that it has been weeks since my nails have been painted, but I knew I couldn’t have that since I am celebrating a very special occasion this week: Derek’s and my 10th anniversary!!
We are heading down to San Diego tomorrow for a little mini vacation, not too far from home, but far enough that we can still get away from it all for a few days. We got a great deal on the cutest little resort hotel through Hotwire and we’re going to get passes to the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, and I could not be more excited!!
I’m sure I’ll have plenty to share from our trip when we get back next week, but for now, I’ll just share my manicure:


I decided on a fun, festive, but not overly Christmas-y deep green shade called “Green & Wear” It from Ulta. I love how it looks with our red holiday mugs (and my sweater leggings, too)! This color is one of my favorites because it’s got a subtle blue undertone, and it’s just the prettiest emerald/forest/hunter green hue, don’t you think?? ;)


One more quick thing before I go: this month’s #MonthlyMani theme is “Winter Wonderland” in honor of the fast-approaching winter season and the winter solstice on December 21st. Also, we’ve changed our posting day to the 3rd Tuesday of every month, but there’s still plenty of time to join in on the fun, and post up your winter-themed manicure next Tuesday, the 16th!

Just leave a comment below with your email address and I’ll send you all the info if you want to link up with us and join in on the fun!
As always, thanks for reading!
