Welcome to my nightmare.....

I think you're gonna like it. Thank you Alice Cooper for that line.

Greetings:

This is my nail art for this week. I received my July/August copy of Nail It! magazine. As I'm thumbing through, I come across page 47. It looks like this.

Before I forget, I will say I am in no way affiliated with Nail It! mag.

I decided to give it a go. So away we go. Vrooooom

Base coat of your choice. Always protect you nails from potential staining. Left pinkie, right thumb is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri In lprompt Blue. Left index, right flip off finger is Cult El Porto. Left middle, right pinkie is Color Club Evolution. The rest of the remaining nails are Square Hue Beethoven Straat.

All of the little studs, rhinestones and neon studs I purchased from Amazon. They have really great pricing on nail art supplies. Depending on which country it ships from, it can get to you home pretty quickly.

I didn't have the stuff to do the ring finger the way they did it so I improvised with Mundo de Unas Silver stamping polish. The stamping plate Bundle Monster-211. The teeny tiny stamper came from a set I bought at the local Big Lots...years ago. To keep (hopefully) the studs from falling off, I used Nouveau Nail Professional Super Seal. This stuff is awesome. When you put it on, it spells like you are in an acrylic nail shop. When you cure it for 60 seconds under an LED light, the smell miraculously vanishes. I bought mine from Premier Nail Source.

Enough chit chat, here is my final result. I hope you enjoy this look. Any questions, drop me a note.

As always, thanks for dropping 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
