Here I am yet again

It['s been raining all day so I binged watched "The People vs. OJ Simpson." Talk about stupid people.  He was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt with DNA evidence and his Lawyers played the race. People were so mad because wsome rotten LAPD Cop used the "N" word they forgot Simpson was guilty. Derps.

Rant over. Here's the idea to end all ideas. Nope, just kidding. I had this look all done and I wasn['t happy with it. Even though it looked almost exactly like the picture, I had to do something else.

It looks like this:

Black is absolutely the worst color for me to work with. Ugh!!!I can never seem to get it to look right. No matter how careful I am, it always looks messy to me. I saw this look on pinterest and thought it was awesome. Here's the link:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/394979829804834347/
Her's are so much nicer. Obviously Black polish is her Besties'

So I used L.A. Girl Color Pop Darkness, L.A. Girl Color Pop Glitzy, Pure Ice Shore Set and some gems I bought on Amazon. I think that's what I didn't like about the finished nails. I thought the stones were the wrong color. A bit too orange-y for the look. 

My daughter thinks my hands look like a Velociraptor.  She's just jealous. I don't need to find a Halloween costume. 

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...
