Hello Spring?

Hopefully. I've grown a bit tired of snow.

So in my last post, I talked about natural nails and what I was using to try to get them in better condition. I tried the Barielle for without success. I tried the NailTek Formula 4 without success. Honestly, I didn't notice any change in the condition of my nails. I'm sure either of these products could potentially work for you. As I have mentioned previously, I have RA. One might think it wouldn't affect fingernails. It does. Could I please, pretty please have one break? Nope!! Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.  Apparently, my nails must match my hands. My kids use to tel me I didn't need a Halloween costume. I had Zombie hands.

Ohhhhhhh!! Pretty!!





I decided to give OPI Nail Envy a try. Voila'!! I have growth, my nails feel stronger and the peeling is almost nonexistent. Yea!!!


    As you can see, I had a little trouble with pictures. If you knew me, you would understand. :)

    There is some growth and the peeling has improved greatly. I'll be back in a week, unless fire, flood or some other unforeseen natural disaster occurs, and show the first/new pictures side by side.

    Until then,

    Thanks for stopping by.

    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...

    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...
