It's almost Halloween............

I have yummy, delicious brains at the tips of my fingers!!!!


Sort of. :)

Last year, after Halloween I happened to see a you tube video for a nail stamping design. You guessed it, it was brains.  It was one of the cutest ideas I have ever seen. I tried to buy the stamping plate but at the time, I wasn't able to.  This year I started looking for the stamping plate in August. Success!!! I found it at http://bunnynails.storenvy.com/.  I ordered it and voila, here's my design.  I do have to give all the credit to Nailstamp4fun. Here's the link to the you tube video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dH2E5Jfeek&index=8&list=FLkvcInS-buHkwbBz_nGhX_Q

Her's are different but I have always been of the mindset that everybody's brains are different. It's true in this case.

I started with a base coat. I didn't paint my nails pink. I  left them bare. I put random spots of pink & red polish on a makeup wedge and stamped my nails.


It will take a few stamps of polish to get the color just the way you want it.

After you get the right depth and dimension of color, put on a top coat. This makes a smoother surface for stamping. I'm still working on lighting. Please stand by.......

After your top coat is dry, you just stamp the brain image on your nails. I use Mundo de Unas Stamping Polish Black. Another coat of top coat and you are done.


Here's a picture of my supplies.


Happy Halloween

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
