Mermaids are Forever

So I didn't plan on doing this look for  October. I usually do pink, even before I started this blog. I have four friends that have had breast cancer. I proudly wear a pink ribbon tattoo, as does my daughter, for these fine ladies as well as breast cancer survivors everywhere. To all of the people in the world who have any type of cancer, you are in my prayers.

This look is a Mermaid look. Funny thing, I get my best while watching a trilogy of movies. I just turn them on and voila! I come up with looks I love and want to share.  Now I bet you are thinking "Lord of the Rings" or "The Hunger Games" or something girly and romantic. Nope. If you even thought about these movies you are so far off, it isn't funny. Ready for this?  It's "The Expendables."  I don't know why but these  movies always help me get my creativity electrons firing all at the same time.

Here's the look:




I thought it was pretty with the teal and the gems.  To get this look I used Nutra Nail Flex-Shield Nail Hardener. On the pinky and ring finger I used two coats of China Glaze For Audrey. This is one of my favorite colors. Its amazing. I used some random dark teal micro-glitter and sprinkled a itsy bit over the nails before they dried. The rhinestones, shells and pearls all were purchased (by sweet lil ole me of course) at amazon.com.

On the flip-off, pointer and thumb I used Polished Peripherals Serenity. This is another of my favorite polishes. Its a teal blue/green with silver and blue glitter. I bought it al LLarowe but she doesn't sell it any more. I tried to find a link but alas, I was not successful. Sorry, I don't like to use polishes that are not available. If someone finds it, please let me know.

I stamped the flipoff, pointer and thumb with Mash-39 plate. I purchased this from good old amazon as well. It looks like this.

I used the design in the top right corner. I used Konad Princess Special Polish Blue Pearl. Topped the whole works off with INM OutTheDoor. This is my new favorite top coat. It dries really quickly and it seems to possibly have some optical brighteners in it. It totally changed the color of the stamping polish when I put it on. The blue is almost three dimensional now.

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...
