Pedicure Party

The lovely Betsy from My Five Men has sent me an invite to another pedicure party!
...and you all know how much Jax loves getting her nails did...

She's hosting a fabulous giveaway and all I have to do is post a picture of my pedicure.


I'm rocking a hot shade of summer pink on my toes.
My manicure is a fun, light pink sparkle UV manicure.
Sorry boys for all the girl talk!  Should I translate for you?

Talk about a fun party!
Not only did I have an excuse to get a spa pedicure, but I got to rock a pair of sandals that I never wear.
I bought these Guess sandals last year, and I have only worn them once.
Why did I buy a pair of shoes that I never wear you ask?
As much as I love these comfy sandals, they are way too flat for my 5' tall self!!!
Wedges are my friends in the summer.
So, thank you Betsy for giving these poor sandals a bigger purpose then just sitting on my shoe rack!

Do you have a pair of shoes that you love but never wear?

    I've never had a pedicure but I've heard a lot of guys like them. Wouldn't mind trying it out one day as long as I don't have to get them painted LOL.

    I do have a pair of shoes missing the sole, half the side is bitten off by my dog. My lucky pair of shoes! (I don't wear them anymore though)

      Ohh, you should get a pedicure!! I mean, a girl rubs your feet. What sounds better than that??? lol You don't need to get them painted. And, it's totally true! Many men are getting mani/pedis now. I'm not sure how I feel about the manis, but the pedis are great! Man feet can be repulsive sometimes. lol

    Last time I was at the beach there were all these little shoe shops (shacks) where they were making sandals on the spot. Every time I passed by I noticed another pretty colour which I had to have lol... I ended up with five or so pairs. I've worn all but one of them now - but that final pair is still waiting for a chance.

    Love your manicure! :)

    Adorable pedi!! I just gave myself one yesterday because I didn't feel like going anywhere after working all night! And yes, I have at least 100 pairs of shoes that I love and can't wear because of stupid disk herniation in my back...all of them have heels and all of them make me cry when I wear them..:(

      Well, feet and stillettos go hand in hand. Those are two fetishes that are easy enough to please. Unless, of course, you're the one that wants to rock the pumps. It might be a little harder to find a pair in your size. ;) lol

    Very cute! I love the sandals...they look great with those jeans, too! You know, I'm 5.5 and still love heels! Unless they are flip flops, I usually have some heel to my shoes or sandals.

    Beautiful color choice! Isn't that the most fun at the spa? Choosing from all their colors? :) I'll have to try something sparkly next time. :)

      LOL!! Yes, we are paying them so we have the right to make a perfect decision. Sometimes I even get the guy to try the color on for me so I can see what it looks like outside of the bottle. Ok, so I'm a pain in the butt... lol

    I have never understood how women always have such perfect feet, and mine are always... well I won't go into details. Anyway, I read that having sore feet is a sign you might end up with cancer later on in life. "Inflamation" is the word this expert used. I am usually on my feet all day so they are always all sore, and gross. Well, maybe Jax has some good feet advice for me?

    Pedicure parties? Never heard of that. Fish pedicure? The picture,the nail color, sandals everything looks lovely.

    Do you have a pair of shoes that you love but never wear? - If anyone woman could answer NO to that , I would like to meet them. Mine is 7 wide, not regular so I may need to pay twice as others and I dont have much options, I once bought a 150$ shoes then after 3 months they were selling it for 20$. Dont get me started :(
