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.

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...
