Hi Everyone!!!! Happy Friday!!!! Sorry for the lack of posts the last couple of days but I've been working a lot of overtime and I've just been so tired! I've been doing 10 1/2 hour days so when I get home all I really feel like doing is eating and going to bed! UG it sure is a big difference from being 20 to being 50! Back in day I would get 2 hours of sleep and still be good to go for the day--not now LOL!
I do have a cute mani to show you today though! Last year I got a package with some of the Funky Finger solar polishes from my sweet friend Holly. It was a nice surprise package for sure! I don't have any 5 Below stores here in Wisconsin so imagine my surprise when she sent me 4 of the polishes! I also picked up a couple of the feather effect polishes from China Glaze's Horizon collection so I decided to pair one up with my Funky Fingers
I'm wearing Funky Finger Lil Miss Sunshine which looks like it changes to orange outside but really changes to a sweet little yellow! I'm also wearing You're A Hoot by China Glaze. I decided to keep with the owl theme and stamped some owls from DRK-B
This is Lil Miss Sunshine indoors
As you can see I added some colored dots as well. I felt about like Sarah Smith LOL!
I do love the feather look polishes and you can easily stamp over them which I'm sure I'll be doing in the future!
Here's what Lil Miss Sunshine looks like outdoors
What a cute butter yellow!!!!
I took these pics outside my mom's condo the other night. The neighbors were out and I'm sure they thought I was quite mad LOL!!!
I do really love thermal and solar polishes! Can't wait to try out some more!
Thanks for stopping by!!!! I hope you all have a great weekend!
Hi Readers! Sometimes we find beauty in the darkest of times. I was at a funeral on Monday night for my friend Sue's, mom. Sue was my next door neighbor growing up. Her mom lived a long life, she passed away at 84 and had lived the past 6 years without her husband so while I feel sad I find so much comfort knowing she and her husband are together again.
Sitting in the throng of those coming to pay their respects and give condolences I looked around the church and spied so many beautiful stained glass designs. I wanted to recreate some of what I'd seen so I came home and did a search on stained glass and then stained glass mani's but nothing was really jumping out at me. Then I remembered seeing Enamel Girl's holiday mani's and she had one that reminded me of stained glass. She has such fantastic ideas and she can throw you for a loop readers because sometimes she's using foils and not stamping and sometimes SHE STAMPS ON FOIL! Yes that's right stamps on foil! The mani I wanted to recreate for my stained glass look is here.
I did one coat of WetnWild Black Creme. For the metallics I used 3 Funky Fingers Zeppelin, Monster Ballad, and Platinum Record--icy blue, hot pink and gold. I just blobbed them randomly over SH22 using the petal image
Here it is with flash
Close up right hand!!!!
AMAZEBALLS!
I loved doing this mani and I really liked this Shany plate image too. I plan on using it again with some different color combinations. I really like the stained glass idea and definitely will be working on some more stained glass nails again in the future.
So from a sad day I was able to go home and find something beautiful to recreate that made me happy. How about you readers how you ever found inspiration where you least expected it?
