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.

Yes, I know....you thought I left the planet.

Hello all: It's been a beautiful day in my neck of the woods. It was 74 degrees today. Perfect day to be relaxing on the porch. And me with a cold. My great aunt had a screened porch. She died along time ago. I was 7. It doesn't look the same now but I am proud to say is is on The Historical Register. My mother loved this house. And she loved Auntie. The History lesson is over. But I know my brother and sisters won't forget this house. I found this post for pink and gray nails on Bloglovin. Here's the link.  http://frame.bloglovin.com/?post=4817501097&blog=4629175. I didn't want to use her picture without permission.  After you check out her link, this is what mine look like.  I used a base coat as always. Whichever you choose is fine. My goal, when I try to recreate looks, is to use what I have at home. Some colors are spot on. other are close enough to the original. On my pinkie, pointer and thumb I used Color Club She's Sooo Glam....

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...

Happy Mother's Day.

Greetings:  I hope all of the Mother's have a blessed day. Children are amazing. I have seven of my own and many of my children's friends that I claim as my own. I bought some new polish on Thursday. I bought a dark pink, a nice blue, a sand color and a sparkly fairy dust color. The blue reminded me of my Mom's blue eyes.  I lost her in 2003. It doesn't get any easier. It's just life. I miss her terribly. She was very special. Let's get the show on the road. First, a base coat. Your choice. I used the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer in Light Medium. I used one coat to create a smooth surface. I chose Pure Ice Shine Rain & Shine. Thins is a nice cornflower blue. Two coats.  For the glitter I used Glitter Lambs Million Dollar Gradient. I love this color. It's gold, gold and more gold. It's  a "bam"in your face gold. With glitter polish, the first Coat you need to "place" more then "paint" it on. Th...
