PIC Heavy!

About to watch the Walking Dead, and didn't want to write much. This is SEVERAL SUPER THIN coats, allowed to FULLY dry in between coats of : GEM Crush by Sally Hansen,  Be Jeweled 05. Sandwiched in between Nailene's Sensationail system. I got the red starter kit, and FELL IN LOVE! Did the red as instructed. Loved it for almost a full week (would have lasted 2-3 weeks) but I wanted a change. There was absolutly not one scratch ding chip NOTHING. Just glassy smoothness of a gorgeous red that I think would translate well on any skin tone (imo).Then I put a red glitter polish and topped quickly with red glitter acrylic, let dry smoothed out and topped with the topcoat and cured. GOOD TO GO! I promise not to NOT take pictures next time. And when I tell you they were ruby red slipper awesome...I'm kickin' myself for not takin' pics! Hope you enjoy the purple sparkly goodness to follow. Side Note: These pictures do not truly capture how gorgeous they are! And there were only 2 places that had tiny chips (did some housework today and hadn't capped the edges as well as I thought AND had filed......but it's over a week old still great stuff!)-which I filled but did not seal and cure prior to the pic, as I plan on doing my nails again tomorrow!

Told ya, pic heavy! :-) Hope you enjoyed, and it doesn't really show HOW super glossy it is and gorgeous in person, but I tried..... There's some blurry ones to show the sparkle! And the hubbs got in on the photography for me too! Thanks Babe, I love you!

Wet N Wild, Spoiled HELP!

I saw this color- checkin into rehab. I am so in love with it-but I can't seem to find it! I'm in NC near Jacksonville-has anyone seen the Spoiled collection........

Water Marbling.

December 8, 2011

Wow, I had some type of fun doing these! I used a water marbling techniques a friend of mine turned me on to.

I used white, a few different blues-I think 2, and a silver, all over a white base. 

Then after that was dry I topped it all off with a wonderful holo glitter-OMG I was in LOVE!

Can you blame me!?!?!?!? I wish there were more pictures, and I wish that I could have captured the beauty of this style, because these pictures are NOT doing them justice!  Hope you enjoy!

I tried

But didn't come close....

I saw nails very similar-but much better done in another lady's blog.

I wish I could give her credit...but I don't remember which blogger it was.

I'm telling you-her work was better, and her pictures were MUCH better! 

But this was my rendition. Not her standard-but still pretty darn good, I think!

A little smudgy here and there but  it'll do :-)

I enjoyed trying to do what she did-REALLY wishing I could link to hers....

Her's was super amazing! I think this was done in November or December of 2011.....

I have done my best....

Now to top it!

 LOL I'm not what you'd call a nail 'Guru' or anything like that. While I am creative-I am no artist....

I've seen nails on blogs and posts and the internet in general that make you cock your head to the side and say -WOW! Truly amazing works of art that will be removed and never replicated to that perfection again... 

To those who can make those amazing tiny works of art-My hat's off to you!

As you can see-these were done in December of 2011. My posting updates are just a 'tiny bit' late. I'm sorry the pictures aren't what you'd see from others, but they're the best I can do for now.

This is the best nail art I personally have done, and can't seem to come close again! :-) I have no clue what all I used either, so there is no how to list. Sorry for that, but any similar nail polishes and I'm sure you can get it. Hope you enjoyed!

~Nails~ First post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now if only I can get my pics uploaded here lmao...... OK So I CAN do my nails pretty well. Doesn't mean I always do. The nail polishes used in this look are Nail Tech formula 2 as my base. Then I did the whole nail-didn't get a pic- in Sinful Colors Neon Melon. Covered with Sinful Colors Call you later glitter or Nail Junkie glitter. After a day, I had to take it down to French tips-it was just too much for me :-) I did a horrid job at clean up around my cuticles....So don't send me to the fiery depths, I know it's not great. I was sloppy, and new I was re-doing them on Friday or Saturday. These Pics are from last Friday August 26th 2011. I hope you enjoy, and I hope it's not a copy of someone else's-if so my apologies! Sorry not a great pic-getting the hang of nail pics :-)

Like a Virgin

YAY! I found it-here it is. My first post-that I had lost :-)


This is my first blog. EVER. Please be kind. If you have an idea you'd like to share-go for it. I try to be a positive person. I love to do my nails-good bad or ugly-there's typically one to three coats on them...... I find alot of my inspiration on here-so while most of my nail art is my own, alot of it will have notes pulled from here and there. For example, I have been attempting a butterfly wing effect-unsuccessfully-that I saw on the internet. (I won't say what my son in law THOUGHT I was trying to pull off....) I may do a blog about that later. I do not plan on blogging daily-but I guess that would be the ultimate goal-all I'm saying is I'll come and go on here. I hope to find like minded individuals and new friends through here. I do not have a plethora of super nice expensive nail polishes-even though I sure do drool over them.......But I do have alot of nail polishes. I don't care if they are .50 or just $1.00 I don't label my polishes because of they're price. It's nails people-keep em nice, keep em healthy, and if you don't like the results of a design, or polish get rid of it, or thin it or just take it off your nails...Mix it up with a clear to get the texture you want.........I'm not a super serious person, but I'm a stickler for manners-ask my kids or their friends (I'm the 'mean mom')........I'm by no means a neat freak-at all-but I'm not dirty-I'm funny about hygiene too lol. You will come to find I have MANY little quirks.......A machine gun laugh (one of a million and one laughs in my repetior) A sense of humor, mothering ways, sincerity, help everyone before myself kind of person. I do know my limits (or like to think I do) and doing my nails is my way of pampering me. Doing my makeup is just fun time though ;-) So in short, please be patient with me as I figure all of this out, as I am not technologically inclined either lol.
