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

I love the weekend......

Well, who doesn't?  Unless you have to work every weekend. That would suck. Here I am again with not one but two polish ideas for you. Why two? you ask.  Well on the 9th, we had a wedding reception for my son and daughter-in-law. They got married in January in another state.  Since neither of their families could be there, we celebrated in July. I didn't post that weekend because we h ad company. On the 16th I worked and I forgot to post. Long story short (too late), here I am with both looks. To save typing, I will let you know right now, I always use Pro-Fx Nail Concealer as a base coat and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri as a top coat. If I do use something else, I will mentiion it. The first one is a Mermaid nail. On the pinkie finger I used China Glaze Polarized. Gorgeous SIlver glitter polish!! The glitter is holographic and it picks up tons of colors. On the ring finger  and thumb, I used a wedge makeup sponge I used Black Cat Lacquer Venus on the middle of the sponge. O

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
