It's a beautiful day in the Neighborhood......

No Mr. Rodgers does not live here. I did love watching his show when I was young. Dark Shadows, Star Trek, Bewitched and Batman were always what we watched everyday with out fail. Those were classics.

Anyhoo, here's the nail of the day.  I saw this on pinterest and thought it was pretty. Here's the original link. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/394979829800711139/

The look.  Please pardon the awkward fingers. Because of my arthritis, I don't have the beautiful hands I was once blessed with.


This design is simple yet stunning all at the same time. It was quick and easy to do.  Base coat - ProFx Nail Concealer. This  make the white polish easier to the opaque stage without a billion coats.  The turquoise is Bonita Salon Gel-On! Blue Water Lily. This is two coats. I bought it at the local Rite-Aid. If I recall, it's $2.99.  I used this on my thumb, index and pinkie nails.  The white is L.A. Girl Color Pop  White on. Two coats of this looks awesome over the ProFx.  Didn't streak.



The silver stripes are Nailene Stripe Fx Silver. The sticker has since fallen off so I don't know what it's called. The white is Color Club's Art Club White. Again no name. It's white. Not much info necessary.  For the Turquoise I used the Blue Water Lily mentioned above and a MASH striper brush. I bought the brushes at guess where.....that's right Amazon. Where I buy just about everything. No this is not a video sponsored by Amazon. I truly buy just about everything at Amazon.  After everything was dry I used my all time favorite topcoat, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. I see I forgot to include a picture of the white polish. Honestly the brand doesn't really matter. It's for your information.

Bada bing, bada boom. Done.

I buy everything my self. If that changes, you will be the first to  know.

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
