Sad day for nails!

So.....back in October, I had acrylic nails put on.  Lame, yes. Stupid, yes. My nails were fairly nice looking. Why?  Vanity. Pure and simple.  I love the stiletto nail look. I thought it was sexy. OK, I'm weird.  That's what I wanted sexy, stiletto nails. I couldn't have them as pointy as I wanted because I work in a medical clinic, I did however keep them as pointy as I could get away with without severing someones jugular vein.  Just kidding.

I knew what the outcome would be when I took them off. I did take them off in January. Soaked off totally in acetone. My nails were trashed, toast, FUBAR, whatever you want to call it.  I put them back on and grew them out for six weeks under the acrylic.  After they had grown out a bit, I shortened the acrylics. Grew them put for a bit more and shortened them again.

I believe what saved the nail was when they grew  out, I didn't put on more acrylic. I used LED gel polish. So anyway, this is what I have now. Not as bad as expected.

 


 



Yes, I have noticed that I have a Zombie hands. Life sucks but Halloween is really easy. I purchased a product from Salon Sciences called Starting Over - After Acrylics. I've never tried it, I bought it on Amazon.It looks like this.






It's pretty simple. You put two coats on every other day to "Clean, dry nails that are free from all traces of creams or lotions." (Doesn't that sound official?)  Here's the link if you are interested. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003JN4NHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You are supposed to see results in two weeks. We shall see.

Thanks for stopping by.

P.S. I bought this with my own cold, hard cash.

Wishing you the very best Holiday season

Yes, I know it's been two months since my last post. My health issues have carried over for two months and I have been exhausted. I was finally feeling better and I lost someone very dear to me. When I was born. I was blessed with amazing parents, my Nana and my Aunt Wanda.  Wanda has always treated me like her own. I spent every minute of my childhood that I could at Wanda and Nana's house. It was home to me. My grandmother taught me how to iron, cook and sew among other things. I lost her when I was 11. Both parents passed away in 2003. Wanda was always there for me. She was like a second mom to me. She helped me with anything she could.  She babysat my six kids when I was a single parent going to school. She treated my kids like they were her own. She was an amazing woman. She worked at Grand Coulee Dam when it was being built, she traveled and she truly loved life. She was a Christian and she devoted her life to Jesus Christ. Back in July when I had surgery on my foo...

Hell's bells!!!!

Oops.... I didn't realize it had been two weeks since my last post. Since I apparently live in the new Arctic Circle, all I've had time to do is stay warm. My daughter has missed five days of school due to the weather. That's unheard of where I'm from. When I was in High School, I can't remember ever having a show day.  Maybe that was before Global Warming.  Who coul d tell. And is Global warming really a thing? Or is it something the Government made up to scare the Hell out of normal people like myself?  On that note....away we go.   This is the look I came up with for New Year's Eve. Did I go out? Nope. Did I have a Gourmet dinner party for 20 at  my home? Again, nope. I never do  things like have dinner parties. I just thought it was New Year's Eve-ish looking. Yes I know that isn't correct Grammar. And no, I don't care. If people can say "A'ight or turnt." I can say  Eve-ish. Get with the program teachers. Start teaching c...

A woman is helpless only when her nail polish is drying......

My daughter gave me a sign that says just that as a gift. She is so right. I can cook anything I choose, change the oil in a car, change a tire and a hundred other things I learned along the way. Mess with me when my polish is drying, you are going to be in trouble. \ Seriously. Painting nail is an art, even if you are putting on one color. It's tricky,it takes practice and its frustrating as Hell if you have to start over. Be patient. Let a woman get her nails dry and everything is awesome.  Fortunately my kids aren't little anymore and then fend for themselves most of the time. Other times it's like this "Mom, Mooooom, I've cut my carotid artery! I'm bleeding!!"  Yes dear, I'll be right there. Let my nail polish dry. Seriously, it's never that severe. Funny though. On with the polish at hand.... I really like the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer. It makes a nice smooth base to work with. I use one coat. It dries fast which is a bonus. Who really...
