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...

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 th...

There won't be a post this week. i have had family here from Houston since Thursday.  I have missed them desperately.  Thank you for understanding. Lee

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...

Unless you happen to be referring to my nails o' the day.  :) It's been a weird couple of weeks. I was worried about one of my kids and I wasn't thinking about nail polish. Fortunately it isn't anything serious and she is well again.  Back to the Blog I go. My kids are my heart and soul. I have seven of them and I adore each and everyone of them. They have my family's odd sense of humor and we drive each other crazy. I wouldn't know what to do without them. Truly they keep me sane. So, the word of the day is...Gold. I looked through my many issues of Nail It! magazine. Checked on Pinterest and Youtube. Perused Instagram and Twitter. Nothing caught my eye. I didn't really zero in on any certain designs. I was stumped. For a moment.  Then I happened to look in m y polish drawer and I was suddenly blinded, yes blinded by the sparkly gold polish staring me right in the face. I can work with that. Here goes: Baser coat of my dreams....Pro-Fx Nail Concea...

Well here we are again.  I had last weeks post all ready to go and life happened.  Sucks to be responsible. With that being said, here you are. My nails have been growing quite nicely. I've managed to shape them into Stilettos and with the help of Gelish VitaGel Recovery, things were going along swimmingly. However, when my nails get to be a certain length, they start to curl under. I've trimmed them and now they are not as long. I was looking on Pinterest for designs for shorter nail and I found this. http://hative.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/easy-nail-designs/1-easy-nail-designs-for-beginners.jpg These nails are really pretty and simple to do. Thank you to @kiss_ot_chic for the idea. I used my Bundle Monster Nail Art Vinyls. I bought them on Amazon.  Not very expensive and it has 13 different designs. They cost $13.00.  The l ink:https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Pattern-Manicure-Sticker-Bundle/dp/B00WZYQHE2/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=...
