Ho....

Well, here I am again.

I suppose you might be wondering about last weeks post. I said I could't connect to the wi-fi. I wasn't able to upload the nail art I did. In this day and age, I should be able to do that. One would think.

Apparently, I am a derp.

So this week's post is sort of Christmas-y.

And it looks like this.
 

 This is a look done with the mysterious Gel polish I bought from Amazon.  It came in a set of 10 colors....all in tiny pink bottles. Do you remember now...I knew you would.

As this is gel polish, you will need either a UV or an LED lamp to cure the gel. My lamp came in a Sensationail kit I bought at Wal-Mart. The kit comes with a combo base/top coat, one polish color and some cleaner. If I recall it was $50.  I wasn't totally thrilled with the polish but the light is compact enough to take just about anywhere.

Since I have had my light for two years, I had to purchase some new base/top oat. I have been using Super Nail Pro Gel base coat and top coat. For this brand,, you will need both. I can't remember where I bought mine but I think it was ebay.

After you put on the base coat, you need to cure it under the light. It takes about one minute per coat.
I used the Aineili Gel Polish in #17 on all of  my nails.This is a deep, almost burgundy red. I did two coats, curing each one. On my left hand, I did two fingers with the Aimeili Gel Polish #23. For this color, I put one thin coat over the red and cured it. This color is a pretty silver color that I thought was quite festive.

On the remaining fingers I used Mundo de' Unas Silver stamping polish and the candy cane design from the Fab Ur Nails #7 plate. I used the UV/LED top coat for the gel n ails and Sally Hansen Big Quik Dry Top Coat for the polished nails. The deed, she is done.

To keep the FCC happy, I purchase all of my supplies my self. I hope you like this look.

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
