Hello blog fans.....

Well here we are once again. Another beautiful Fall Sunday. II have spent the day shooting with my awesome son-in-law Matt. Thanks Matt for inviting me. It was awesome.

So the Nail 'o the day simple. Of course is has to have a tiny bit of glitter but hey.  About two months ago, I tried some gel nail polish I saw on Amazon. I bought three colors and the base and top coat.  It costs $6.99 for a 10ml bottle. The base and top coat costs $10.99 for  the set. These are also 10 ml bottles. I found the colors are opaque and they last about 10 days. You can buy them in a single color, set of 4, 6 or 10.

This time around I purchased the set of 10. It costs $49.00.  Here is the link for the 10 piece set.

For this look, I used the base coat and cured for 60 seconds in a LED light. I used two coats of Aimeili Color 021. On my ring finger I used one coat of Aimelil Color 023. Both colors were cured 60 seconds each coat. Top coat is the same 60 seconds and "Boom." You are done. Wipe off the sticky coat with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and there you have it. All 10 nailws done and totally dry in 10 minutes.

I like this brand. I plan to buy more. There is only one drawback. Since it is UV/LED gel, you cant tell what color it is without opening the bottle. And every bottle is pink.

I marked my base coat with tape. I'm working on some stickers but you have to0m cfu8re the poli8sh under the UV/LED light. It's a challenge.

If you try this look or another gel polish look, let me know.m Same thing if you try this brand.

Thank you 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
