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.

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...

Say hello to my little friends.......

Hello little friends...... Greetings fans.  Here is my polish of the week. First off, I would like to thank Piggie Luv for the idea. I saw a post on Pinterest and had to attempt to recreate it. I thought it was really cute and it turned out to be really easy to do. \ Without further hesitation, here is  my creation. Base coat of your choice of course.  Always a base coat. I used Orly Goth on all my nails. It's obviously black but it dose have a tiny bit of shimmer to it. This is just one coat.  Then I made little balls of lines with white acrylic paint. Any white acrylic art paint will do. You can also use white polish. On My pinkies, I used China Glaze Heli-yum. This is a bright neon pinky/red color with a cream finish. Ring fingers I used China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin ( a dark yellow cream) and Square Hue Beethoven Straat (lime green cream).  Middle fingers was China Glaze Nasty, a bright berry cream.  Pointers, I used China Glaze Bahamian Escape...

Helloo Baaaaby.....

Those are the words of the immortal Big Bopper aka J. P. Richardson who died in a plane crash along with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens, February 3rd, 1959. Truly a great tragedy for the world. Haven't a clue what I'm talking about, look it up. My last post I was struggling to get my nails back in shape. Sadly, they would grow a bit longer than my fingertip and then peel. I couldn't have a Nail Art Blog without nails!! Well now I do. Let's check it out.  Here we are... I decided on this color because it's Spring in my neck of the woods. These are really simple, I think anyone could do them. These are PolyGel. Not a gel, not an acrylic. You do have to cure then in an LED/UV light but you could do them with regular polish and some nail art supplies. The pinky and thumb nail have gold nail foil on them. The ring finger has some glitter and a gold tone shield. The middle finger has some pearls and rhinestones attached. The index finger is my favorite. I starte...
