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.

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...
