Never fear.....

No one will ever know.

So, today's post is about two things. I was raised in a fairly conservative family.  Air Force Dad, working Mom. I got my ears pierced when I was about 8 years old. I begged to get them pierces for what, at the time, seemed like an eternity. My Mom finally relented.

It wasn't until I was 17 that I got a second piercing in my ear lobe.  In collage, I added a third piercing to one ear. In the words of Bob Dylan "The times, they are a changing."

Nowadays, people pierce everything I've had my eyebrow, nose, tongue, lower lip and ears pierced. The remaining piercings besides my ears are a tiny stud in  my nose and under my lower lip. Ive had them pierced for so long, I don't even think about them anymore

Long story short, I bought some piercing needles and jewelry. I had hemostats from Nursing School.  I sterilized the hemostats and jewelry. My daughter was home so we pierced my ear. I decided to pierce my septum. No big thing. With the right type of jewelry, you can put it in your nose and no one can see your piercing. My teenage daughter asked f I would pierce hers.  I did. HUGE thing.; Dad was furious and had more then a few choice words for me, some which were "Weak minded" and "Lived in a fairy tale world." I'm not sure how these pertain to piercings but apparently they do."  I looked at the whole situation differently. We didn't ask him first. That was my mistake.  But piercings are so immaterial. Unless you have 00 gauge earrings, when you take out the piercing, It's going to close up. I could not get Dad to see this. She isn't pregnant, in jail, doing drugs or sleeping around.  Choose your battles. Kids like to try new things. In my book piercings are the least of my worries.

I bought this new stuff from Amazon. Here's the link. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01824Q63K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm not sure what I expected but I don't think it was this. At first glance, this stuff looks like opalescent paper. Well, that's what it is. You get 10 colors for $9.

The trick is when you cut up said paper into tiny different shapes and randomly stick them on you nails.......

I know, right!!
 All you need to do this is base coat, polish (I chose gold glitter) this paper and a topcoat. Don't forget scissors.  I used a LED Gel top coat but a regular topcoat

It took about 20 minutes to do all my nails. I'm anxious to try the other colors too.

I hope you like this look.

Thanks for stopping by.

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...

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...

Mermaids are Forever

So I didn't plan on doing this look for  October. I usually do pink, even before I started this blog. I have four friends that have had breast cancer. I proudly wear a pink ribbon tattoo, as does my daughter, for these fine ladies as well as breast cancer survivors everywhere. To all of the people in the world who have any type of cancer, you are in my prayers. This look is a Mermaid look. Funny thing, I get my best while watching a trilogy of movies. I just turn them on and voila! I come up with looks I love and want to share.  Now I bet you are thinking "Lord of the Rings" or "The Hunger Games" or something girly and romantic. Nope. If you even thought about these movies you are so far off, it isn't funny. Ready for this?  It's "The Expendables."  I don't know why but these  movies always help me get my creativity electrons firing all at the same time. Here's the look: I thought it was pretty with the teal and the gems.  ...
