Tis the Season to be jolly........

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 just about any Beauty Supply Store or Amazon. It will cost you about $6 for a 4oz bottle. Or you can do what I do. Buy a bottle of 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol. You can buy this at Wal-Mart, Rite-Aid or any other Drug Store. This stuff will cost about $2. It works just the same as the expensive stuff.

Here's a picture of my supplies.

I bought everything except the Alcohol at Amazon. The Alcohol I bought at Wal-Mart.

On another note......

Are you a makeup brush fanatic? I sure as heck am!! I was really excited to learn about Live Glam. You can get make-up brushes delivered right to your mail box every month for $19.99. You will get any where from three to six Morphe make-up brushes. I just got my December's box and there six brushes. These are the brushes that came in the December box.

This isn't a sponsored video. As I said I buy the box every month. I will however get points if you use this link. These brushes are some of the softest brushes I have ever used.

Yes, I know....you thought I left the planet.

Hello all: It's been a beautiful day in my neck of the woods. It was 74 degrees today. Perfect day to be relaxing on the porch. And me with a cold. My great aunt had a screened porch. She died along time ago. I was 7. It doesn't look the same now but I am proud to say is is on The Historical Register. My mother loved this house. And she loved Auntie. The History lesson is over. But I know my brother and sisters won't forget this house. I found this post for pink and gray nails on Bloglovin. Here's the link. http://frame.bloglovin.com/?post=4817501097&blog=4629175. I didn't want to use her picture without permission. After you check out her link, this is what mine look like. I used a base coat as always. Whichever you choose is fine. My goal, when I try to recreate looks, is to use what I have at home. Some colors are spot on. other are close enough to the original. On my pinkie, pointer and thumb I used Color Club She's Sooo Glam....

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.......

Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr purr. If you watch the Big Bang Theory, you know where this comes from. I don't. But my daughter does. When I saw this polish on the Super Nails Etsy site, I had to get it for her. Me, being a cat lover, I had to get one for myself as well. Here is the link. https://www.etsy.com/shop/supernails This is a polish that has a sheer pink base. It is full of pink, grey and white tiny spots. It's not glitter, because it doesn't sparkle. The think that made me want to buy it is that it has white, pink and grey......kitty heads in it. I thought it was really cute. Let it begin: Base coat...check. Pro-Fx nail Concealer in Light/Medium. I don't know if I mentioned it but it come is Medium/Dark as well. One coat of this. Polish...check. If you aren't familiar with glitter type polish, it's applied differently than regular polish. For me, the first coat is the base coat for the color. each following coat that I put on, I am pl...

Happy Mother's Day.

Greetings: I hope all of the Mother's have a blessed day. Children are amazing. I have seven of my own and many of my children's friends that I claim as my own. I bought some new polish on Thursday. I bought a dark pink, a nice blue, a sand color and a sparkly fairy dust color. The blue reminded me of my Mom's blue eyes. I lost her in 2003. It doesn't get any easier. It's just life. I miss her terribly. She was very special. Let's get the show on the road. First, a base coat. Your choice. I used the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer in Light Medium. I used one coat to create a smooth surface. I chose Pure Ice Shine Rain & Shine. Thins is a nice cornflower blue. Two coats. For the glitter I used Glitter Lambs Million Dollar Gradient. I love this color. It's gold, gold and more gold. It's a "bam"in your face gold. With glitter polish, the first Coat you need to "place" more then "paint" it on. Th...
