In case you were unaware, basketball pandemonium has spread across the bluegrass. UK is playing U of L this Saturday in the Final Four, and it’s pretty nuts in the KY. If you need more info on this long standing rivalry, consult google, I’m not even going there.
If you actually know me, this is hilarious that I even care, but I have been struck by this blue mental illness (right Jess?!) and have embraced the spirit. I always play the part of the fan well, but that is just because I am a social butterfly, but I am actually not doing too badly in our office bracket thingy. See look, that would be me in 10th place 🙂
I could have done worse, right?
So in true Wildcat spirit I even polished my nails in support.
It was surprisingly easy to accomplish, only took about 20 minutes.
I gathered my supplies…
1. OPI Blue My Mind
2. Essie Marshmallow
3. Bobby pin
I did three coats of blue, then used the end of a bobby pin (the little dot end) to make the dots. I poured a little bit of white polish on some paper, and found it easier to dip the bobby in that way.
Then I topped with a clear coat. Easy-peasy, GO CATS. 😉

SO CUTE!!!
SO CUTE!!!
Very cute! But, I'm going to have to say that I'm pulling for Louisville. They're in the Big East, South Florida (my alma mater) beat them and ever since Cal skipped town in the middle of the night, he and I can't see eye to eye!
WOOOOHOOO! GO CATS!!!
I told our girl Jess that I was adding blue to my pink wardrobe ;)!

Too cute!! I tend to be impatient and alway mess my nails up before they dry. Any tips?
Xoxo

ADORABLE – I may have to adopt this idea come Football season 🙂
So cute & sounds so easy! However, my right hand always turns out looking like it was murdered! How do you paint both hands so neatly!?
So I will definitely be sporting my UK gear again this weekend!! And then I promise to send your dress home!! Hopefully I will just be able to bring it with me!! 🙂
Yup! Loving the nails!
