I'd would be in deep trouble. Blame it on RA. Not Ra the Egyptian God, nope. Blame it on my Rheumatoid Arthritis. Or as my father-in-law use to say "Arthur-itis." It sucks and on the weekend all it seems I think about is hiding under a blanket.  Still, here we are. My daughter came to visit yesterday. She is my "pedicurist." She spoils me by painting my "tailnails" as we have always referred to them. I thought the color was nice so I chose to paint my nails the same color. This is it: Base coat first. Any of the thousands of brands will work. Use what you have. If you can't see it i n the picture, there is ho pink sparkles in the blue. The blue is Dollish Polish Boo Boo Kitty F*ck.

I'm actually posting on Sunday. Whoot, whoot! So here we are once again. Sundays are my quiet days. It's the day I don't do anything. becvause I did everything on Saturday.

Base coat...your choice. :)  I followed this with two coats of Pure Ice Shore Bet. This is a pale sandy color. I chose to do just two coats because I was stamping over the polish. Otherwise I would have used three for good opacity. For the stamping

Beer Nuts are $1.25. And Deer Nuts....well, they are under a Buck.. Laugh it up fuzzball!  If you don't know where that line is from, I'm sorry for you. Think about it, maybe it will come to you. Sometime between this post and the last, I decided to take my gel nails off. I needed a change and I wanted to see how my real nails were growing. Well, I think the answer is bad and bad. They don't bad, they are just short. But they are bad because they have not completely grown out under the gel and frankly, they suck. There isn't really a boat load of surface to create stuff on. I think I'll put then on before the next post.  Sadly, this is the o nly picture I could get that was decent. My camera is apparently on holiday or something. I didn't use a base coat because I have three coats of builder gel on my nails. They are weak and thin.....still. I used Orly Terra Mauve (I hope). I say that because it's the darkest color of Orly in my polish database
