It's Pink October

So here we are again.  October is such a beautiful time of year. It's also been deemed "Breast Cancer Awareness" month.  Last year I tried to do a different pink manicure every day. It was a bit over the top and I decided to do something different.  This is still a pink manicure, just different. 

Since my nails are still a bit on the flimsy side after taking off the acrylics, I have been putting a coat of LED gel base and top coat. I did apply tips to  my thumb nails. They keep splitting about half of the way through the nail. That is just "no bueno."  Today I added a coat of sheer pink gel between those two coats. This make my nails stand up to the beating they take on a daily basis. 

The pink gel I used is Sensationail Babydoll Pink. It's the perfect French manicure pink. The gel polish is EZ Flow Tru Gel base and top coat. Before you do anything with the gel, you need to make sure you use a "primer" first. This isn't a traditional primer like the one you use for acrylic nails. It's EZ Flow Bond-It -On.  There isn't any acid in it. You simply put it on and let it dry. 

 I tried to get as close as I could with the camera so you could see the design.




After I finished the gel, I used Mundo de Unas Pink-01. For the design I used a Emily de Molly stamping plate EDM10.

I topped the design off with a coat of INM Out the Door fast drying top coat and the deed, she is done.

I like this design because it's intricate without being too much.  I hope you enjoy this look.

As per usual, I purchased all my supplies with my own money. I have included the links below if you are interested.

Thanks for stopping by.

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...

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...
