Doesn't everybody just love Pusheen the cat!!

Well, at least I do. I think he/she is very cute.

That just happens to be the nail art choice for this post. I saw a post on Pinterest from preenme.com. It was too cute for words.

This was not the first design I attempted. The first design had pink nails. Would you believe that after 24 days of pink for October (sadly all those posts disappeared from my blog) I couldn't find the exact shade of pink. The one I liked the best took four coats and was still streaky. In the rubbish bin it went. I don't throw out polish very often. Almost never but even after polish thinner, I couldn't get it to work. Bye, bye, bye to the said pink polish.

So anywhoooo, this is the second design I chose. If you follow me on twitter. tumbler, instagram or pinterest you may have already seen these nails.

I started per usual with a base coat. I always say use what you have or whatever works best for you. Then I put two coats of Sinful Colors Rendezvous. It's a pretty pale tealy blue/green. It reminds me of China Glaze For Audrey.

The glitter polish , as you may notice, is only on part of the nails. I used the dry brush method to drag a bit towards the ends. I used CrowsToes Thing. I love this color. It has a multidude and I do mean multitude of colors of glitter.

My sweet daughter (who is known as @timidanne on instagram & tumblr, timidannee on twitter and timidanne on pinterest) helped me with the tiny kitty. While I could have painted the one on my left hand, the right hand would have been disasterous.

For Pusheen she used L.A. Girl Storm. A very nice cream gray color. For the kitty stripes and face, she used Sinful Colors Black on Black.

A top coat of your choice to finish and Voila'....a cute tiny kitty manicure.

As always, I purchased everything myself. (Don't be ridiculous, I don't have enough followers to be sponsered :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Another sunny Saunday

And hotter then Hell. When it's already 75 degrees at 7:30 in the morning, you know it's going to be hot. Too freaking hot. So, I'm nice and cool indoors, doing my nails...and fighting off a migraine. I saw today's idea on Pinterest. Here's the link. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/394979829801950580/ These are so pretty. It looks like the white is 3-D but I didn't have supplies to do that. So, per usual, I improvised. Here we go... Base coat as always. I used French manicure guides to mark where I wanted the polish to end. Wait for it....Yep, you are so right,! Amazon. I used Essie Loot the Booty for the blue. This polish has just a hit of super fine shimmer in it. For the white, I used Mundo de Unas nail stamping polish. You should find it here. http://www.mundodeunas.com/ For the teeny dots, I used a dotting (Amazon) and L.A. Girl Color Pop White On. I bought mine at Rite-Aid but my store doesn't have it any longer. Top coat - Sa

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.......

Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr purr. If you watch the Big Bang Theory, you know where this comes from. I don't. But my daughter does. When I saw this polish on the Super Nails Etsy site, I had to get it for her. Me, being a cat lover, I had to get one for myself as well. Here is the link. https://www.etsy.com/shop/supernails This is a polish that has a sheer pink base. It is full of pink, grey and white tiny spots. It's not glitter, because it doesn't sparkle. The think that made me want to buy it is that it has white, pink and grey......kitty heads in it. I thought it was really cute. Let it begin: Base coat...check. Pro-Fx nail Concealer in Light/Medium. I don't know if I mentioned it but it come is Medium/Dark as well. One coat of this. Polish...check. If you aren't familiar with glitter type polish, it's applied differently than regular polish. For me, the first coat is the base coat for the color. each following coat that I put on, I am pl

Happy Mother's Day.

Greetings: I hope all of the Mother's have a blessed day. Children are amazing. I have seven of my own and many of my children's friends that I claim as my own. I bought some new polish on Thursday. I bought a dark pink, a nice blue, a sand color and a sparkly fairy dust color. The blue reminded me of my Mom's blue eyes. I lost her in 2003. It doesn't get any easier. It's just life. I miss her terribly. She was very special. Let's get the show on the road. First, a base coat. Your choice. I used the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer in Light Medium. I used one coat to create a smooth surface. I chose Pure Ice Shine Rain & Shine. Thins is a nice cornflower blue. Two coats. For the glitter I used Glitter Lambs Million Dollar Gradient. I love this color. It's gold, gold and more gold. It's a "bam"in your face gold. With glitter polish, the first Coat you need to "place" more then "paint" it on. Th
