Hola ........

I have returned from a brief sabbatical.

If you don't know what a "Sabbatical" is, i's a vacation. I spent two weeks with my son and daughter-in-law in Houston, the weekend with my son, daughter-in-law and grandsons in Alabama and I discovered Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets.

I had such a wild time, I needed two weeks to recover. Just kidding. I was tired and I needed time to recover. It was an awesome time. I miss all of them so much.

So here's the nail art of the week. And a shout out to a company I bought some products from. That company is Dollish Polish. I bought five polishes and some nail gems. The polish is opaque and wears really well. The gems were an assortment. There are quite a few different 3-D pieces in the package too.

And away we go.........
 I have a hard time getting good pictures of my hands due to my RA.
I'm trying a new base coat. It's Pro-Fx Naipl Brightener. I've used the Nail Concealer from the same brand before and I really liked it. This you can use as a base or top coat. It's claim is it "brightens colors." On both the pinkie and thumb nails I used KB Shimmer Up and Cunning. This is a beautiful teal frosty/glittery polish. You can find it here:https://www.kbshimmer.com/.  For the ring and middle finger of my left hand as well as the pointer and middle finger of my right, I used Dollish Polish SO Long And Thanks For The Fish. Here is the link:http://dollishpolish.bigcartel.com/. Both of these brands ship really quickly. Both are opaque and long lasting.

For the left pointer and right ring finger I used Aimeili LED Gel polish #023. Really shimmery silver glitter polish. I used random stones from the baggie I bought at Dollish Polish. The  link for that site is listed above. I used the Super Nail Pro Gel base/top coat on the silver nails. I used the top coat to stick the embellishments down. That's about it.

Sweet and simple. I'm anxious to try the New Sally Hansen Polish out. If I can find some, Ill do the next post on that.

Untill then, 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...

Something for the rest of you.....

My last post was almost one month ago. I decided to use the OPI products foe one month to see how my nails faired. Well they faired well. Due to the use of gel polish(I believe), my nails peeled until last week. When you remove gel polish the wrong way, it peels the natural layers away. One would think, I would know not to do this. Guilty. I did it anyway. When I quit doing that, my natural nails grew out and they no longer peel. Yea!!  Are they short, yes. Are they healthy, YES!!! Patience is a virtue and not one of my better qualities. Now I need to work on my cuticles.😒 About six months ago, a small cat decided we were really cool and took up residence on our porch. She is the sweetest cat ever. March 19th, we walked out to the porch to discover the cat with a tiny orange tabby cat in her mouth. She had four teeny tiny baby kittens. I'm sure that is some sort of run-on sentence but WTF! Here they are in all their glory. About 24 hours old.   The grey one is...

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...
