It's almost Halloween............

I have yummy, delicious brains at the tips of my fingers!!!!


Sort of. :)

Last year, after Halloween I happened to see a you tube video for a nail stamping design. You guessed it, it was brains.  It was one of the cutest ideas I have ever seen. I tried to buy the stamping plate but at the time, I wasn't able to.  This year I started looking for the stamping plate in August. Success!!! I found it at http://bunnynails.storenvy.com/.  I ordered it and voila, here's my design.  I do have to give all the credit to Nailstamp4fun. Here's the link to the you tube video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dH2E5Jfeek&index=8&list=FLkvcInS-buHkwbBz_nGhX_Q

Her's are different but I have always been of the mindset that everybody's brains are different. It's true in this case.

I started with a base coat. I didn't paint my nails pink. I  left them bare. I put random spots of pink & red polish on a makeup wedge and stamped my nails.


It will take a few stamps of polish to get the color just the way you want it.

After you get the right depth and dimension of color, put on a top coat. This makes a smoother surface for stamping. I'm still working on lighting. Please stand by.......

After your top coat is dry, you just stamp the brain image on your nails. I use Mundo de Unas Stamping Polish Black. Another coat of top coat and you are done.


Here's a picture of my supplies.


Happy Halloween

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...

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...

Greetings fellow nail polish fans...

My daughter has been out of school for nine days due to the weather. At this moment, it  is snowing like a son of a gun. She's so bored. I recently received the latest copy of Nail It! magazine. It's the November/December issue. There are so many amazing ideas for nails. As I was perusing through it's pages, I came upon this. This was submitted by Nora Ramsdell, Richmond, VA @naq57.  I really liked the look of the gold and green/teal color. Very chic but simple too.  Here we go.  I started with a base coat. Your choice. As long as it works, you will be fine.  I like Green but not all Greens. I tend to gravitate towards the blue-green, green-blue, teal-y colors. I chose Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Re-teal Therapy. I love this brand. It drys quickly and on me, it lasts until I take it off. That's usually about 10 days. I used two coats. For the Gold, I decided to try something new. I usually use stamping polish. I have seen videos on YouTube...
