These Little Piggys have BLING!!'

Woot Woot!  Thanks to my savy shopping sister, I was able to have so much fun with my girls.  They absolutely love going to the nail salon (it's only happened three times) to get their nails painted and such, but it is so darned expensive.  Especially when I can do just as good of a job as they can, and it's free.  But I saw my sweet sisters post about her "bling" for her toenails, and since we wear sandals here year round, I have had to make sure my little piggy's are nice and manicured.  I went the second week we were here to get the manicure done, and then after that I have maintained them myself.  But I loved what my sister had done with her tootsies.  So I had a few dollars in my pocket, and I waddled myself on over to our Sally Beauty Supply place, and bought the same stuff as she did, and voila!!  All our piggy's are "blingy".  Sabrina wanted to try the hot pink, I went with the good old silver, and Nessie went with gold.  Now we have three colors of glitter to exchange between us all, and our toes have never looked better.  Now if only I could get a complete body makeover for 7$ I'd be even more ecstatic.

Thanks and Kudos go out to my sister for sharing this fun idea with us.  We really like it.  One of these day I'm going to buy one of those Sally Hansen Nail Art pens and try my hand at flowers and cute stripes.  Then there will be no need to go to the salon (well lets not get too hasty...I love the foot rubs, and water treatments during a manicure).

So here ya go...I hope you can see all the sparkly...They really are WOWIE!!!
Sorry for the fuzzy picture, I forgot to change the settings, and then my batteries died in my camera.  However, you get the idea.  They are WAY sparkly and fun!!

So for those of you who don't have access to my sister's website, here is how she did it, and consequently we did it.....
Step One, go to your Sally's Beauty Supply store and purchase the items below.

Step Two, Paint your nails one at a time with this product...$4.25
Step Three, immediately after painting one toe, then sprinkle this onto the wet gel polish...$0.94 per bottle
Step Four, continue this process till all your little piggy's are done.

Step Five, Put two more coats of the Gelous nail gel over the top of your nails AFTER you have blown away the excess glitter (this is best done over a piece of paper or a sink)

Then VOILA...Sexy, Fun, and Glittery Piggy's.
ENJOY!!!
