I'm back.........................

I'm back in the saddle again.  Thank you Aerosmith for that line. In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a die hard classic rock fan.

Thought for the day:  I watch a huge amount of you tube videos. These people are really talented. My issue is this: Is there really a need to use the word "like" in a video 33 times? It wasn't used to say something about a product. Example " I really like this foundation." It was used to say (here's another example) I think this lip gloss is like the perfect color for someone with fair skin. It's like totally s the perfect like no color lip color. I love this like shimmer it has and the like iridescence.  I know a billion people on the planet do this but seriously, why do you want to be like everyone else?  Be yourself and use words correctly. Sometimes I feel like I live on a planet of Valley Girls. And that was a correct use of the word "like."

Now that I've stepped off my soapbox, here's whats new with me.

 



After wearing acrylic nails for seven months and trashing them beyond recognition....I have nails!!!!!
Still short but they are 100% mine.  You must forgive my hangnails. I put lotion on my hands about 20 times a day but I can't get enough moisture in them. I've been using cuticle balm too and it has improved them but its still a challenge.  


The polish I have on today is from Zoya. it's called Dream. A beautiful dark blue with silver and iridescent glitter. It's so pretty. It reminds me of the sky at night. When you can see all the stars. 

If you are wondering what I used on my nails, I used Essie Grow Stronger, Nutri Nail Flex-Shield Nail Hardener and Burt's bees Lemon Cuticle Butter. The cuticle b utter I use every time I turn around. The other two I put on and wore it for three days. Then I would remove it and start again. 

So thats it for now.

Hope this information helps someone with nails that have been damaged by acrylics. 

As always I purchased these products with my own money.

Until next time.....

Thanks for stopping by.

Yes, I know....you thought I left the planet.

Hello all: It's been a beautiful day in my neck of the woods. It was 74 degrees today. Perfect day to be relaxing on the porch. And me with a cold. My great aunt had a screened porch. She died along time ago. I was 7. It doesn't look the same now but I am proud to say is is on The Historical Register. My mother loved this house. And she loved Auntie. The History lesson is over. But I know my brother and sisters won't forget this house. I found this post for pink and gray nails on Bloglovin. Here's the link.  http://frame.bloglovin.com/?post=4817501097&blog=4629175. I didn't want to use her picture without permission.  After you check out her link, this is what mine look like.  I used a base coat as always. Whichever you choose is fine. My goal, when I try to recreate looks, is to use what I have at home. Some colors are spot on. other are close enough to the original. On my pinkie, pointer and thumb I used Color Club She's Sooo Glam....

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.......

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...

Happy Mother's Day.

Greetings:  I hope all of the Mother's have a blessed day. Children are amazing. I have seven of my own and many of my children's friends that I claim as my own. I bought some new polish on Thursday. I bought a dark pink, a nice blue, a sand color and a sparkly fairy dust color. The blue reminded me of my Mom's blue eyes.  I lost her in 2003. It doesn't get any easier. It's just life. I miss her terribly. She was very special. Let's get the show on the road. First, a base coat. Your choice. I used the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer in Light Medium. I used one coat to create a smooth surface. I chose Pure Ice Shine Rain & Shine. Thins is a nice cornflower blue. Two coats.  For the glitter I used Glitter Lambs Million Dollar Gradient. I love this color. It's gold, gold and more gold. It's  a "bam"in your face gold. With glitter polish, the first Coat you need to "place" more then "paint" it on. Th...
