easter mani

Meghan Markle Sparkle is Mint To Be

My wedding set is currently at the jewelers being repaired so I was in the need of a fill in, and what’s better than a design fit for a Duchess! Random Snapple fact, Duchess is my favorite royalty title, shout out to Krista in 10th grade for winning that title at Snow Ball 😉 Anyways… This Sterling Silver CZ Triplet Ring was inspired by that Meghan Markle Sparkle so for this week, its my place holder.

Meghan Markle Engagement Ring Dupe

Meghan Markle’s Engagement Ring

Obiv my sterling silver version is a little different as hers is a gold band, and CZ’s instead of her beautiful, and I’m sure flawless, diamonds, but at $34.99 I ain’t mad at it. It gives a lot of sparkle, a lot of Meghan Markle Sparkle! This weeks mani also #nailedit with the Avon Gel Finish Nail Polish in Mint To Be.

Avon Gel Finish Nail Polish in Mint To Be

I’m REALLY loving this pastel polish shade. I def feel it pulls more robin’s egg blue than mint but its a great spring shade and pairs really well with all the blues I’ve been wearing lately. I’ve also been a little obsessed with all things engagement/wedding, like getting an album done from mine, and getting those dumb disposable cameras finally taken care of, and then one of my fav you tubers shared her engagement which made me have all the feels, and a friend is engaged, and I’ve been binging Married At First Sight… I guess its just that spring fever!

Avon Gel Finish Polish in Mint To Be and Topcoat

You can shop my favorite polish, these Gel Finish polishes online at http://www.youravon.com/aliciahessinger and be sure to get your own Meghan Markle Sparkle to go along with it! You know I’ve been loving these fine jewelry releases from Avon this past year and this one takes the cake, the wedding cake! Plus, it would be cute to wear these two (ring & polish) if you’re doing the circuit of showers, weddings, events and parties or even Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope the Easter Bunny didn’t hide your basket too hard 😉 I’m celebrating today with family, friends and food… and these super cute Easter egg nails!

Nailed It! Happy Easter with Easter Egg Nails!

I paired my favorite peach polish, Essie A Crewed Interest, with these clear Jamberry Paint Me Pastel wraps. I’ve tried this Easter egg look many of years with hand painted nail art and it’s been a fail each time. That’s why I love Jamberry, perfect nail art each time, and quickly!

Nailed It: Spring Break Mani – Rose Quartz Getaway

Nailed It: Spring Break Mani

Even though I’m not going on spring break I can put myself there mentally with this mani! I picked out this wrap to wear for Easter because the color of the year rose quartz and serenity are the prefect easter colors. Once I put it on I was like this is kinda perfect with the palm print since everyone is on spring break!

Spring Mani Essentials

The wrap I used is Rose Quartz Getaway from Jamberry with an accent nail in Essie Apres Chic. To prep I used this Avon Senses Cherry Blossom Hand Cream to help with cuticles. Then I made sure the the nails were clean before applying Avon Ridge Filling Base Coat before applying my wrap.

As perfect as this mani is for spring break I’m wearing it for Easter. What I love is I put it on Palm Sunday and it looks just as good come Easter Sunday! And that week inbetween when I look down at my nails I feel like I’m on a mini spring break.

If you have a spring getaway coming up I highly recommend this wrap both for its design and staying power. You can shop Jamberry here and you can get my bracelet at http://www.youravon.com/aliciahessinger and get 20% off a $60 order with promo code SAVE20

Getaway With A Spring Mani

Nailed It: Julep Alicia

What a better mani Monday then our own namesake! Julep Alicia!

Julep Alicia

I have this thing with names, I like to get people polish in their name even if its not a color they’d wear. It’s like a collectors piece. Alicia, while you know the name, it’s not really as common as you’d think, so when I saw Julep had an Alicia I was ALL OVER IT. Except it’s been sold out for-ev-ver! The re-released in the new formula a few months ago and I snatched it up. At first I was like, eh, it will probably not look that great on me, but I want it for my vanity, so it sat in it’s box all pretty and new. Then for Easter I decided to bust out this shade. I was going to do a fun Easter mani but I also had a wedding and business trip so I needed just an easy shade to get me through. Julep Alicia it is!

Julep Alicia for Easter

Once I applied Julep Alicia I was immediately in love with my namesake. In just two coats it’s full coverage cream with the shiniest finish with NO topcoat! It’s super super bright and unique but doesn’t come across as gaudy. Julep Alicia is the word. If I was ultimately going to create a polish that represented me I wouldn’t change a thing!
