I have a secret.......I'm an addict.

Yep it's true. I'm addicted to glitter. I start out with nail polish. Plain Jane nail polish. It might be the prettiest color know to mankind but....every time I have to add glitter. In some form, without fail.  What the Hell. I've always been a closet Rebel.

I started out with a base coat. per the norm. I'm still using the Pro Fx Nail Concealer. I was going to polish my nail this beautiful periwinkle-ish color. I found this at Rite-Aid. It's L.A. Girl Color Pop Muse. Opaque in two coats. Sadly, they didn't have many colors when I was there. I was thinking maybe they won't be selling this brand any longer. Hopefully not. L.A. Girl polish comes in a 14ml size and is $2.99 per bottle. If you purchase two, it's $5.00 for both. Not a bad deal. This polish dries quickly and last as long as Essie or OPI.

My supplies:

 For the glitter polish I chose Essie On A Silver Platter.  If you look at this polish in the bottle, you will see Purple, Silver, Gold, Teal, Blue, Pink. I can't even determine all of the colors. When I look at it my first thought is always "Breathtaking."   Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat and we are done.



I always purchase my own supplies. I hope you enjoy this post.  Thanks for stoping 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
