Been away much too long.

Hello polish fans:

I'm sorry I have been away for suck a long time. I know that I don't have many followers but I feel the need to explain. Life does happen.

I've had a huge family matter that is now...thank God, over. Everything worked out for the best. Everyone involved is happy and things are looking up.

I'm sure you are expecting me to show you pictures of my new grown out nails. Sorry kids...not happening. I was dead set against reapplying acrylics but I did not have a choice. While my real nails were growing out, they were only about half way there when I soaked off my acrylics. because my nails are so very thin, and I am forever popping the tops off of vials, my real nails were torn down to the quick. I was very disappointed but I really did not have a choice. I do however have some hail art to show you. I've been trying to let my creative juices get flowing. There are days I really do not want to do anything.

Here's what I came up with.

On mypinkie, middle and index fingers, I used Sinful Colors Supernova as the base and Maybelline Color Show Gilded Rose over the base color. I used a top coat but I am at a loss as to which one it was. Any top coat will be fine.

 For my ring finger and thumb, I used Maybelline Go Nude, Then used water transfers from Fingrs'. It looks like this.


Oops. Upside down but you get the picture. Lol . I added a light brown fimo heart, a beige bow and a topaz colored rhinestone for a bit of fancy. All of these can be purchased on Amazon for less than $5.  I added the same mysterious top coat to secure the nail art and Voila!!


Until next time.........thanks for stopping by.

As always, I purchased everything with my own money.

Helloo Baaaaby.....

Those are the words of the immortal Big Bopper aka J. P. Richardson who died in a plane crash along with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens, February 3rd, 1959. Truly a great tragedy for the world. Haven't a clue what I'm talking about, look it up. My last post I was struggling to get my nails back in shape. Sadly, they would grow a bit longer than my fingertip and then peel. I couldn't have a Nail Art Blog without nails!! Well now I do. Let's check it out.  Here we are... I decided on this color because it's Spring in my neck of the woods. These are really simple, I think anyone could do them. These are PolyGel. Not a gel, not an acrylic. You do have to cure then in an LED/UV light but you could do them with regular polish and some nail art supplies. The pinky and thumb nail have gold nail foil on them. The ring finger has some glitter and a gold tone shield. The middle finger has some pearls and rhinestones attached. The index finger is my favorite. I starte...

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...

Something for the rest of you.....

My last post was almost one month ago. I decided to use the OPI products foe one month to see how my nails faired. Well they faired well. Due to the use of gel polish(I believe), my nails peeled until last week. When you remove gel polish the wrong way, it peels the natural layers away. One would think, I would know not to do this. Guilty. I did it anyway. When I quit doing that, my natural nails grew out and they no longer peel. Yea!!  Are they short, yes. Are they healthy, YES!!! Patience is a virtue and not one of my better qualities. Now I need to work on my cuticles.😒 About six months ago, a small cat decided we were really cool and took up residence on our porch. She is the sweetest cat ever. March 19th, we walked out to the porch to discover the cat with a tiny orange tabby cat in her mouth. She had four teeny tiny baby kittens. I'm sure that is some sort of run-on sentence but WTF! Here they are in all their glory. About 24 hours old.   The grey one is...
