Happy New Year!

Greetings:

I hope everyone had wonderful Holidays with their loved ones.

Mine was quiet. my immediate family is 9 people. Seven kids mean significant others, grand kids and my dear Aunt. That means a grand total of 21. This year there was but four at my dinner table. Quiet.

This weeks post is Blue. Maybe because I have been feeling that color for awhile. New year, new things. Yea!!!!


 Away we go. I saw Ad somewhere for Sally Hansen Miracle Gel
Flash-ionista and had to have it. It is gorgeous. It's a beautiful Mermaid blue-green with microglitter. Boom! In your face Ariel.
It's the first bottle in the picture. I had to search for it and finally found it at my local Rite-Aid. Just my luck they had the other two colors right next to it on the display. Had to buy them. The picture doesn't do them justice.

The first color  in the picture is Flash-ionista. This is the color I used on my index, pinkie and non-existent thumb. As usual, I used my Pro-Fx Nail Concealer first as my base coat. This is two coats. The middle color is Digi-Teal. This color is a Teal Blue cream. Two
coats of this as well. This is the color on my ring finger. Las but not
least, on my middle finger I used three coats of Let's Get Digital.
Even though it doesn't show in as blue on my nail, you can see it's
definitely blue in the bottle. I neglected to buy the Miracle Gel top
coat so I used my Sally Hansen Quik Dry top coat. Seems to work ok.
And there you have it.

I hope you enjoy this post. If you would like to see something in particular, a different brand or color, let me know. I'm happy to try new colors.

I always buy my own stuff. Usually at Wal-Mart, Rite-Aid or Amazon.

On a different note:

Are you a make-up Junkee? If so you should check out the LiveGlam Morphe brush monthly subscription box. These brushes are awesome!! They are so freaking soft and they work great.

Here is the link.  https://liveglam.com/morphe-brushes/?ref=mamacinco61@yahoo.com

They have a new Lip Club too. That could be dangerous.

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...

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...
