In a blink of an eye, they are all grown up.

It's so true. My baby just turned 16. Where did the time go? I have seven kids and I am so glad they all live so close.

If you have never tried LED Gel Nail Polish, you should. It wears like Iron. Mine will last for two weeks without any chipping.

There are a ton of brands out there to choose from. Major companies like OPI, CND, Orly and China Glaze all have some. I chose an "Off brand." As Amazon is my favorite online store, I bought mine there. Iv'e tried SuperNail Pro Gel, EZ Nails TruGel and Sensationails. I have had good results with all of these brands. The color choices are endless. You can find the EZ Flow and SuperNail brands on Ebay for a good price. Sensationails you can find at WalMart or Rite-Aid.

Here we go.....

I bought my most recent gel polish from Amazon. This is one of those "off brands" but don't let that fool you. It lasts just as long asd the more expensive brands I've tried.

When you use Gel polish, you need to use a Gel base and top coat. This is Aimeili Gel Polish. The base/top coat duo come in a set for about $11 from Amazon. The single colors are $7 for a 10ml bottle. You can also purchase a set of four, six or twelve colors as well.

For this look, I used color 044, a deep Mermaid Blue/Green glitter, color 030 a Navy Blue and some white gel.

While I was on Amazon looking for polish, I saw that one company sells three polish to use together. You use them for a marble look. I used what I had and it looks like "waves."

This look was so simple. It literally too 10 minutes to do from base coat to top coat. No waiting for nails to dry. No smearing. Just "Poof" beautiful polished nails.

I didn't mention this company has a temperature changing line too. That just may be my next post.

Until then, thank yu 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...
