Pardon me Mr, Cooper but school starts again in two days. If you are unable to connect those two references, you missed out. I have one child out of sever still in school. She is an amazing child. Smart, funny, talented and beautiful. Just don't piss her off. It's like poking a bear. This nail look was all my idea. I was trying to come up with something using my fimo fruit slices and here is it. Sort of. I had originally purchased three neon colors from Salon Perfect at my local Wal-Mart to use with this look. Pink, green and orange. Not happening. The colors looked pretty but I put three coats over a white  base cost and it was still streaky. I chose a red instead. Now it looks like this. This has to be one of THE most uncomfortable positions I put my hands in. Grrrr. So I chose Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Sonic Bloom. One coat. Boo. Done. Gotta Love it. This is a pink-red-coral color. bright yet easy to apply. One coat. I buy all my supplies at Rite-Aid, Wal-Mart...

Here we are again. I didn't realize I hadn't posted last Sunday until I started my post today. You're right. I'm lame. I live in a State where there is still County Fair every year. When my kids were little, we went every year. Since my youngest is now 16, it's been awhile since I have gone. Traversing back and forth is a bit difficult with my RA so her Daddy has always taken her when I wasn't able to go. This year, my very best friend came into to town. Sheila, and another dear friend Denett went. It was so much fun and so awesome to get together with them. These ladies are like family and really special to me. I am blessed to have them. I am use to the fair being jam packed with people I knew but this year it wasn't crowded. Sadly the Ag, Arts & Craft, Gardening and Commercial buildings were a bit empty. We had a ball. Space Burgers are amazing. Corn on the cob is delicious. Lion's Ears really crispy and sweet. Sadly we didn't get t...

It's so true. My baby just turned 16. Where did the time go? I have seven kids and I am so glad they all live so close. If you have never tried LED Gel Nail Polish, you should. It wears like Iron. Mine will last for two weeks without any chipping. There are a ton of brands out there to choose from. Major companies like OPI, CND, Orly and China Glaze all have some.  I chose an "Off brand." As Amazon is my favorite online store, I bought mine there. Iv'e tried SuperNail Pro Gel, EZ Nails TruGel and Sensationails. I have had good results with all of these brands. The color choices are endless. You can find the EZ Flow and SuperNail brands on Ebay for a good price. Sensationails you can find at WalMart or Rite-Aid. Here we go..... I bought my most recent gel polish from Amazon. This is one of those "off brands" but don't let that fool you. It lasts just as long asd the more expensive brands I've tried. When you use Gel polish, you need to use a...

And hotter then Hell. When it's already 75 degrees at 7:30 in the morning, you know it's going to be hot. Too freaking hot. So, I'm nice and cool indoors, doing my nails...and fighting off a migraine. I saw today's idea on Pinterest. Here's the link. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/394979829801950580/ These are so pretty. It looks like the white is 3-D but I didn't have supplies to do that.  So, per usual, I improvised.  Here we go... Base coat as always. I used French manicure guides to mark where I wanted the polish to end.  Wait for it....Yep, you are so right,! Amazon. I used Essie Loot the Booty for the blue. This polish has just a hit of super fine shimmer in it. For the white, I used Mundo de Unas nail stamping polish. You should find it here. http://www.mundodeunas.com/ For the teeny dots, I used a dotting (Amazon) and L.A. Girl Color Pop White On. I bought mine at Rite-Aid but my store doesn't have it any longer. Top coat - Sa...

Well, who doesn't?  Unless you have to work every weekend. That would suck. Here I am again with not one but two polish ideas for you. Why two? you ask.  Well on the 9th, we had a wedding reception for my son and daughter-in-law. They got married in January in another state.  Since neither of their families could be there, we celebrated in July. I didn't post that weekend because we h ad company. On the 16th I worked and I forgot to post. Long story short (too late), here I am with both looks. To save typing, I will let you know right now, I always use Pro-Fx Nail Concealer as a base coat and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri as a top coat. If I do use something else, I will mentiion it. The first one is a Mermaid nail. On the pinkie finger I used China Glaze Polarized. Gorgeous SIlver glitter polish!! The glitter is holographic and it picks up tons of colors. On the ring finger  and thumb, I used a wedge makeup sponge I used Black Cat Lacquer Venus on the middle of th...

There won't be a post this week. i have had family here from Houston since Thursday.  I have missed them desperately.  Thank you for understanding. Lee
