Hola ........

I have returned from a brief sabbatical.

If you don't know what a "Sabbatical" is, i's a vacation. I spent two weeks with my son and daughter-in-law in Houston, the weekend with my son, daughter-in-law and grandsons in Alabama and I discovered Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets.

I had such a wild time, I needed two weeks to recover. Just kidding. I was tired and I needed time to recover. It was an awesome time. I miss all of them so much.

So here's the nail art of the week. And a shout out to a company I bought some products from. That company is Dollish Polish. I bought five polishes and some nail gems. The polish is opaque and wears really well. The gems were an assortment. There are quite a few different 3-D pieces in the package too.

And away we go.........
 I have a hard time getting good pictures of my hands due to my RA.
I'm trying a new base coat. It's Pro-Fx Naipl Brightener. I've used the Nail Concealer from the same brand before and I really liked it. This you can use as a base or top coat. It's claim is it "brightens colors." On both the pinkie and thumb nails I used KB Shimmer Up and Cunning. This is a beautiful teal frosty/glittery polish. You can find it here:https://www.kbshimmer.com/.  For the ring and middle finger of my left hand as well as the pointer and middle finger of my right, I used Dollish Polish SO Long And Thanks For The Fish. Here is the link:http://dollishpolish.bigcartel.com/. Both of these brands ship really quickly. Both are opaque and long lasting.

For the left pointer and right ring finger I used Aimeili LED Gel polish #023. Really shimmery silver glitter polish. I used random stones from the baggie I bought at Dollish Polish. The  link for that site is listed above. I used the Super Nail Pro Gel base/top coat on the silver nails. I used the top coat to stick the embellishments down. That's about it.

Sweet and simple. I'm anxious to try the New Sally Hansen Polish out. If I can find some, Ill do the next post on that.

Untill then, 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
