It's a beautiful day in the Neighborhood......

No Mr. Rodgers does not live here. I did love watching his show when I was young. Dark Shadows, Star Trek, Bewitched and Batman were always what we watched everyday with out fail. Those were classics.

Anyhoo, here's the nail of the day.  I saw this on pinterest and thought it was pretty. Here's the original link. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/394979829800711139/

The look.  Please pardon the awkward fingers. Because of my arthritis, I don't have the beautiful hands I was once blessed with.


This design is simple yet stunning all at the same time. It was quick and easy to do.  Base coat - ProFx Nail Concealer. This  make the white polish easier to the opaque stage without a billion coats.  The turquoise is Bonita Salon Gel-On! Blue Water Lily. This is two coats. I bought it at the local Rite-Aid. If I recall, it's $2.99.  I used this on my thumb, index and pinkie nails.  The white is L.A. Girl Color Pop  White on. Two coats of this looks awesome over the ProFx.  Didn't streak.



The silver stripes are Nailene Stripe Fx Silver. The sticker has since fallen off so I don't know what it's called. The white is Color Club's Art Club White. Again no name. It's white. Not much info necessary.  For the Turquoise I used the Blue Water Lily mentioned above and a MASH striper brush. I bought the brushes at guess where.....that's right Amazon. Where I buy just about everything. No this is not a video sponsored by Amazon. I truly buy just about everything at Amazon.  After everything was dry I used my all time favorite topcoat, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. I see I forgot to include a picture of the white polish. Honestly the brand doesn't really matter. It's for your information.

Bada bing, bada boom. Done.

I buy everything my self. If that changes, you will be the first to  know.

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...

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...
