Some people work to cure cancer, others are fighting the war on poverty. Me? My selfless act is to help people spend money on stuff they need, like clothes and bags and makeup and, of course, killer shoes. But, that's not all. I like to eat. And complain (most specifically about how hard it is to be a mom). Oh, and obsess over the next perfect pair of shoes.

Summer Treat — Watermelon Toes
Now back to our regularly scheduled, frivolous programming....
A favorite summer ritual around our house is painting watermelon toes. It's fun, easy and very DIY, so please don't look too closely at the photo.
Basically, it's a wacky French manicure. You slap on some red polish, leaving a little room at the top for the green "rind." Seeds used to be a fairly painstaking process involving black nail polish and a toothpick. But, this year, I finally sucked it up and bought one of the Sally Hansen Nail Art Pens that I kept seeing at Ulta. The pen's got a fine point, so it's fab for detail work (like seeds). It's water-based so if you mess up, you can easily wipe it up with a wet cotton swab without disturbing the base polish.
Find the Sally Hansen pens at Ulta and retailers like Target. Price is around $7.

When you said watermelon toes, I thought you meant pink! This is adorable.
It's too cute! I might have to try it.
