Is Mike one of the approved vendors for EDR? Or do we have to plop down the outrageous outside vendor fee..?

I tackled a couple of wedding DIY projects this weekend and thought I'd share them here: 

 

glittered silver shells for the reception tables - wooden shells from Michael's dollar bins a few week ago, modge podge & Martha Stuart White Gold Glitter. some serious sparkle!! 

 

 

 

 

and this will be our cake topper - I'm going to glitter the sides and add two skewers to poke it into the cake. a wooden letter from Michaels, diamond glaze and glitter (diamond glaze over the glitter too so it doesn't shed on the cake). my iPad doesn't take the best pics..ah well.

I love your cake topper Allie! I wish I had enough time to do something like that. I am working the next two days before I leave.

 

ALLERGIES are getting the best of me!!! Might be making a trip to the doctor tonight.

I contacted a bride that previously posted about getting the gel or shellac nail polish in a light color for a DW. She said she used an almost nude color of Shellac and the chlorine and sea water did not change the color of the polish.

 

I really want to get a similar pale pink/nude color for my hands so I think I am going to go for it! I contacted the spa at the EDR and they have the capabilities to take it off for a "small" fee of $42... so Im hoping I wont need to get it taken off, but it gives me piece of mind that in a mind, I can pay to have it taken off.

I had my toes and nails done in gel yesterday and they look great! I chose a coral/ pink color. I would of like french but I am getting married on the beach. The brighter the better! My fiance liked it so that's all that matters.

seriously? for $42? I'd pack a small bottle of acetone, triple wrapped and deal with it myself for that cost. While I'm not in chlorine or salt water day-in/day-out, my hands are always wet (I'm sort of a freak about washing my hands), and I've never had discoloration. Well, except for a little reddish on the edges b/c I just got my hair colored!! lol

Is shellac something you can buy yourself or something you have to go to the salon for?

[jnitschke]

Hey I get shellac all the time.. I even bought the stuff to do it myself.  I've never had it change colors either.   To take the shellac off all you have to do is soak a paper towel in an acetone nail polish remover and then wrap it around your nails for a couple of minutes.. the polish comes right off.   I've even just peeled it off without soaking, although it usually rips up an upper layer of nail in a couple areas when I do that so I don't recommend it. I say go for it and don't worry.  Just take a small travel size bottom of some acetone and you'll be ok.
