I love the weekend......

Well, who doesn't?  Unless you have to work every weekend. That would suck.

Here I am again with not one but two polish ideas for you. Why two? you ask.  Well on the 9th, we had a wedding reception for my son and daughter-in-law. They got married in January in another state.  Since neither of their families could be there, we celebrated in July. I didn't post that weekend because we h ad company. On the 16th I worked and I forgot to post. Long story short (too late), here I am with both looks. To save typing, I will let you know right now, I always use Pro-Fx Nail Concealer as a base coat and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri as a top coat. If I do use something else, I will mentiion it.

The first one is a Mermaid nail.
On the pinkie finger I used China Glaze Polarized. Gorgeous SIlver glitter polish!! The glitter is holographic and it picks up tons of colors.

On the ring finger  and thumb, I used a wedge makeup sponge I used Black Cat Lacquer Venus on the middle of the sponge. On the top of the sponge I used China Glaze That's Shore Bright. On the bottom I used Orly Pretty Ugly. I did it this way because if you put the lightest color on the sponge first, and then the other two, the middle polish will lighten the other two a tiny bit. I stamped it with                                                       Mundo de Unas Silver polish and Mash #39 stamping plate.

On the middle and pointer fingers I used Picture Polish Serenity. This ans teeny tiny blurple glitter in it. I thought it looked "Mermaid-y." I have a large assortment of gems, studs and other nail art things. I used the Silver shells, pearls and some rhinestones to decorate.


I thought they turned out pretty. Yes, sadly I am aware that I still have polish around my cuticles. Save the nasty comments for someone who cares. Except for the top and base coat, I buy everything at Amazon.


The second nail look is Black with negative space.


 Base and top coat per usual. For the thumb, pinkie and ring finger I used Orly Liquid Vinyl. This is by far my favorite black polish.  For the ring and middle fingers I used Mundo de Unas Black and a Pueen Stamping Plate SE01B.  I did a chevron french tip with the liquid vinyl. I thought it made the look more elegant.
I forgot to add the links for the ideas. The black polish idea I saw on Pinterest. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/394979829801896379/

The Mermaid nail idea came from @aprilsnails on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/BAOqfJuk6-l/?taken-by=aprilsnails&hl=en


Thanks to both of these lovely ladies for their ideas.


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...
