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.

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...
