Ho....

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 base coat and top coat. For this brand,, you will need both. I can't remember where I bought mine but I think it was ebay.

After you put on the base coat, you need to cure it under the light. It takes about one minute per coat.
I used the Aineili Gel Polish in #17 on all of  my nails.This is a deep, almost burgundy red. I did two coats, curing each one. On my left hand, I did two fingers with the Aimeili Gel Polish #23. For this color, I put one thin coat over the red and cured it. This color is a pretty silver color that I thought was quite festive.

On the remaining fingers I used Mundo de' Unas Silver stamping polish and the candy cane design from the Fab Ur Nails #7 plate. I used the UV/LED top coat for the gel n ails and Sally Hansen Big Quik Dry Top Coat for the polished nails. The deed, she is done.

To keep the FCC happy, I purchase all of my supplies my self. I hope you like this look.

Thank you for stopping by.

Wishing you the very best Holiday season

Yes, I know it's been two months since my last post. My health issues have carried over for two months and I have been exhausted. I was finally feeling better and I lost someone very dear to me. When I was born. I was blessed with amazing parents, my Nana and my Aunt Wanda.  Wanda has always treated me like her own. I spent every minute of my childhood that I could at Wanda and Nana's house. It was home to me. My grandmother taught me how to iron, cook and sew among other things. I lost her when I was 11. Both parents passed away in 2003. Wanda was always there for me. She was like a second mom to me. She helped me with anything she could.  She babysat my six kids when I was a single parent going to school. She treated my kids like they were her own. She was an amazing woman. She worked at Grand Coulee Dam when it was being built, she traveled and she truly loved life. She was a Christian and she devoted her life to Jesus Christ. Back in July when I had surgery on my foo...

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...

Greetings fellow nail polish fans...

My daughter has been out of school for nine days due to the weather. At this moment, it  is snowing like a son of a gun. She's so bored. I recently received the latest copy of Nail It! magazine. It's the November/December issue. There are so many amazing ideas for nails. As I was perusing through it's pages, I came upon this. This was submitted by Nora Ramsdell, Richmond, VA @naq57.  I really liked the look of the gold and green/teal color. Very chic but simple too.  Here we go.  I started with a base coat. Your choice. As long as it works, you will be fine.  I like Green but not all Greens. I tend to gravitate towards the blue-green, green-blue, teal-y colors. I chose Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Re-teal Therapy. I love this brand. It drys quickly and on me, it lasts until I take it off. That's usually about 10 days. I used two coats. For the Gold, I decided to try something new. I usually use stamping polish. I have seen videos on YouTube...
