Doesn't everybody just love Pusheen the cat!!

Well, at least I do. I think he/she is very cute.

That just happens to be the nail art choice for this post. I saw a post on Pinterest from preenme.com. It was too cute for words.

This was not the first design I attempted. The first design had pink nails. Would you believe that after 24 days of pink for October (sadly all those posts disappeared from my blog) I couldn't find the exact shade of pink. The one I liked the best took four coats and was still streaky. In the rubbish bin it went. I don't throw out polish very often. Almost never but even after polish thinner, I couldn't get it to work. Bye, bye, bye to the said pink polish.

So anywhoooo, this is the second design I chose. If you follow me on twitter. tumbler, instagram or pinterest you may have already seen these nails.

I started per usual with a base coat. I always say use what you have or whatever works best for you. Then I put two coats of Sinful Colors Rendezvous. It's a pretty pale tealy blue/green. It reminds me of China Glaze For Audrey.

The glitter polish , as you may notice, is only on part of the nails. I used the dry brush method to drag a bit towards the ends. I used CrowsToes Thing. I love this color. It has a multidude and I do mean multitude of colors of glitter.

My sweet daughter (who is known as @timidanne on instagram & tumblr, timidannee on twitter and timidanne on pinterest) helped me with the tiny kitty. While I could have painted the one on my left hand, the right hand would have been disasterous.

For Pusheen she used L.A. Girl Storm. A very nice cream gray color. For the kitty stripes and face, she used Sinful Colors Black on Black.

A top coat of your choice to finish and Voila'....a cute tiny kitty manicure.

As always, I purchased everything myself. (Don't be ridiculous, I don't have enough followers to be sponsered :)

Thanks for stopping by.

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...

Say hello to my little friends.......

Hello little friends...... Greetings fans. Here is my polish of the week. First off, I would like to thank Piggie Luv for the idea. I saw a post on Pinterest and had to attempt to recreate it. I thought it was really cute and it turned out to be really easy to do. \ Without further hesitation, here is my creation. Base coat of your choice of course. Always a base coat. I used Orly Goth on all my nails. It's obviously black but it dose have a tiny bit of shimmer to it. This is just one coat. Then I made little balls of lines with white acrylic paint. Any white acrylic art paint will do. You can also use white polish. On My pinkies, I used China Glaze Heli-yum. This is a bright neon pinky/red color with a cream finish. Ring fingers I used China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin ( a dark yellow cream) and Square Hue Beethoven Straat (lime green cream). Middle fingers was China Glaze Nasty, a bright berry cream. Pointers, I used China Glaze Bahamian Escape...

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...
