Greetings All!!

Hello again friends:

Here is my polish of the fortnight. If you are unsure what that means, its fourteen days. It's been about that long or possibly longer since my last post.

Nails are growing nicely. Yea!!! And I'm getting back in the swing of painting my nails regularly.
The fortnight nails are fairly basic and neutral. Something fall-ish or Autumn-ish. Either way my lame computer can't figure how to auto correct. Speaking of auto correct, I sent my man a text and it auto corrected the name to Dr. Satan. Ghoulish I know but strangely all at the same time. Well, in the words of the immortal friends across the pond..............Tally ho. I started, per usual with a base coat. Actually that's a fib. I started with a coat of E-Z Flow Bond-It-On. I followed with a coat of Super Nail Pro Gel Base Coat and one coat of Super Nail Pro Gel Top Coat. I have been doing this since I took off the acrylic. My nails are growing fairly quickly but its the tips are really thin.  After that I used two coats of Orly Faint of Heart. For added thickness I put on one coat of Nutri Nail Flex-Shield Nail Hardener. Here's the look.





I love the Greige color of the Faint of Heart polish but I thought it needed something....a little panache perhaps.  On my thumb, index and pinkie nail I used barely one brush of Crows Toes Umm, No...he went to the Pawn Shop. This is an awesome rose gold, teal and pale pink glitter.

For the ring and flip off finger I used Mundo de Unas Copper with the Pueen Stamping Plates 24-BL, plate number 85. I topped the manicure with INM Out The Door. And Voila!!, there you have it.
Per usual, I bought all of these marvelous item with my own money.

I purchased the Mundo de Unas from LLarowe but she doesn't sell it anymore. Try www.mundodeunas.com.

The Pueen stamping plates I bought from Amazon. The Orly polish, purchased that from ebay.

I hope you enjoyed this look.

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
