Howdy! This past Tuesday I enjoyed a phenomenal fill on my break from work and it was just the best. TMI, but I started my period SO hard so to be able to take an hour and zone out to HGTV while I was pampered gave me a renewed pep in my step for the rest of the day. There is nothing like a fresh fill to get me feeling myself even when I am feeling miserable! I don’t know about all of you but I am more than ready for fall. In fact, I have been since last fall lol. Before the hopefully chilly days of September, I had to do one more hurrah for summer with brightly hued nails. Then it is onto the deep lush shades of autumn! Check it out:

As I perused my nail polish options, the neon green caught my eye and I went from there. My first thought was to pair it with orange but I already used that color during my last fill. Then, I thought about a lemon lime motif but already did that too! As I mentally vetoed all of my ideas I was left with a massive question mark until I saw the pretty sky blue and I was back in business, baby. These colors are summer sky and freshly mowed grass which is truly what I see. Other people had different opinions, though!

When my nail tech was done shaping and sharpening my acrylics to perfection, she painted on the green and described it as Goosebumps Green. She was not wrong and it gave me a hankering for Halloween something FIERCE! I think I’ll have to revisit this shade come spooky season regardless of just using it recently! Goosebumps was definitely on my mind and then it shifted to something totally different when I saw my brother. He said that it looked like a globe and now I can’t unsee it because it really does lol. All these nails need is a little airplane and map markings and they would make for the cutest travel theme. Summer sky and freshly mowed grass turned into a Goosebumps globe and I can’t say I’m mad at it! ❤

The most wonderful time of the year is soon to be upon us and I am SO excited to ring in a new season of fall fashion and fun here on lifewithlilred. Keep it posted!

How often do you get your nails done? Where is your happy place? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
