Could also be the season to break the bank buying gifts... Or not.  Me? I always set a limit. With seven children, 6 significant others, four grandchildren....WOW!!! My one regret is not being a billionaire So this Christmas I'm not feeling my usual non-Grinchy self.  I have been feeling icky, down in the dumps blah. Is that even an actual diagnosis?? I wonder if there is an ICD-10 code for that? This weeks look is simple. A little bit of glitter. Boom. Done.  I do like it though, it goes with everything.  I used IBD Just Gel Base Coat. I cured this in an LED lamp for one minute. For the glitter I used Fairy Glo Color Coat. This is three coats. You will need to cure each coat for one minute. To finish, I used IBD Just Gel Top Coat. Guess what? Yep, you guessed it. Cure for one minute. After you have finished the curing process, you will need to wipe the sticky residue off your nails. You can do this two ways. You can buy Gel Cleanser from ju...

Well, here I am again. I suppose you might be wondering about last weeks post. I said I could't connect to the wi-fi. I wasn't able to upload the nail art I did. In this day and age, I should be able to do that. One would think. Apparently, I am a derp. So this week's post is sort of Christmas-y. And it looks like this.    This is a look done with the mysterious Gel polish I bought from Amazon.  It came in a set of 10 colors....all in tiny pink bottles. Do you remember now...I knew you would. As this is gel polish, you will need either a UV or an LED lamp to cure the gel. My lamp came in a Sensationail kit I bought at Wal-Mart. The kit comes with a combo base/top coat, one polish color and some cleaner. If I recall it was $50.  I wasn't totally thrilled with the polish but the light is compact enough to take just about anywhere. Since I have had my light for two years, I had to purchase some new base/top oat. I have been using Super Nail Pro Gel bas...

What is that??  So, I'm unable to connect to the wifi at home, or anywhere for that matter. So I shall rant.  Who doesn't love Christmas? Most of the people I know do. Some more than others. My sweet daughter-in-law Elizabeth was listening to Christmas music when I was visiting.....in October. I have no problem with that. It makes her happy, go for it. I was raised in the Episcopal Church. I loved it. Advent and Christmas was my favorite time of year. I don't know if it was the prayers, the hymns or the amazing Father White.  It was very a special treat to go to midnight Mass and sing the harmony to all the hymns with my sister. Sometimes my brother would be there too. He had the best baritone voice. It was truly magical. The off we went to our home. My dad always had eggnog with Puerto Rican Rum in it. It was the best. We put stockings up and went to bed. Even when I was in College. We still do for my kids and grand kids.  Christmas morning we would awake...
