Hi Readers! Today's Sunday Challenge theme is Pulsating Pink and Purple. I think it won by a landslide! Several months ago I made a holo franken from a Rimmel color with the title Pulsating. I decided to call it Pulsating Pink Porn and what better excuse to haul it out than today. Alas there is no sun here today so these are pics in the kitchen. And as it always seems with spectraflair frankens the bottle looks better than the nails!
I did an accent nail with China Glaze LOL which to me isn't very holo
It'll do for a day's wear though!!
I stamped with Kleancolor Black using BM305.
I'm spending the day with my mom and then off to the see the new Bourne movie and of course having some snuggle time with Roscoe. What are you all doing today??
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Readers! Happy Saturday!!! Guess what???!!!! In addition to it being the weekend we are getting a new baby kitten today! I'm pretty over the moon about it as is the camera man! We've had a lot of sadness in our lives this month and we've talked about getting another cat ever since we lost our sweet Sammie 2 years ago. I'm hoping Baxter will be happy with the new addition so cross your fingers for us!
Now onto the nail portion of our program! Today the Summer Challenge theme is BBQ. BBQ???? What the french is my Crumpet Leader, Debbie thinking? Do they EVEN have BBQ over in the UK????? I've lived in Texas so I know what good BBQ is LOL! Another thing I know is I'm not a cool "cute" person like Jackie from Adventures In Acetone. There is no way I can draw a cute cow on my nail and then a steak or a brisket on my nail and have it be a good BBQ look. So today I did what I often do best--I cheated!!!!
Hmm lets a take a look shall we
Thank you OPI for the glorious color that is Mrs O'Leary's BBQ!!!!
Now THIS looks much better than a cow or a pork chop painted on my nail!
I did a lovely gradient using Mrs O'Leary's BBQ and We'll Always Have Paris Suede because I just love these colors together!!!! I stamp with Milani White On using Mash-43
I don't know about you Readers but can it really be cheating when it turns out this good????
Before we check out what all my other Summer Challenge friends have come up with for the this mani let's take a look at Roscoe!
He's currently a farm kittie at my friend Ashlee's farm. I sure hope he'll pick us today when we are out there looking at the kittens!!
I just love orange boy kitties!!!!
I'll fill you all in tomorrow before the Sunday Challenge which is pink and purple. FINALLY a chance for me to get out my franken Pulsating Pink Porn lol!!!
Here's what my Crumpet friends came up with for BBQ!
Hi Readers! Summer Challenge Green and Orange???!!! What the????? Those colors DO NOT even go together! But here's a disclaimer Readers, don't lament this to your fab work buddy Ashlee because when you say "omg green and orange those are awful colors to put together", she'll say "those are the colors I had at my wedding!"
I was really lamenting this challenge. I wanted to do it as I haven't done a few for a while so I thought okay get back on the horse. But the green and orange horse????
It was easy to do when you had the right arsenal at your disposable!!! Cult Nails Toxic Seaweed and Gosh Rainbow!!!
Who said green and orange don't go together??? Not me!!!
I stamped over it using Zoya Meg
I thought these colors would beat me, but they didn't!
Here's my matching Toxic Seaweed ring I made ages ago!
Lizz's is really getting a work out as my camera man at work LOL!
I really loved this mani. I couldn't decided if it was dragonish or snakeish but either way I loved it! The image I used for snake and/or dragon design was Mash-39.
Thanks for stopping by!!! Make sure you check out what everyone else came up with for orange and green day!
Hi Readers! It's not everyday--okay really it's NEVER any day where I don't stamp. Today there is no stamping. None needed either because this mani is so gorgeous and it just blew me away.
I did a gradient using Orly's Buried Alive and then Misa Golden Thread and topped it with the most gorgeous and glorious Sonoma Nail Art Clockwork
I asked my coworker the fabulous Lizzard, if she could snap a pic of both hands. She is an EXCELLENT camera man!
It was actually hard to work as I was so busy looking at my gorgeous nails!
I consider myself super lucky to be friends with Michelle who is the talent behind Sonoma Nail Art. She's the total package Readers--pretty, funny, mega creative and talented, and really super sweet!
Do you have any Sonoma Nail Art polishes??? Which one is your favorite?
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Readers! I did this mani awhile ago and am just now posting it. I wasn't really sure if this would turn out when I was doing it but I was so pleasantly surprised! This is a couple of coats of Orly Sashay My Way over a gold franken I made and then stamped with Kleancolor black!
Don't you just love that sparkle shot in the full sun??
I actually did this mani while my dad was in the ICU, little did I know this would be the last mani he'd ever see on me
It's very sparkly and very pretty that's for sure!
I know some people don't like to stamp over glitters but really some of them make a perfect base for it. This almost looks like a foil to me! I believe I used an image from Cheeky XL A
Have you tried stamping over glitters? What are you thoughts?
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Readers! Some of us gals got together for another group challenge. This time the theme is Geometric! WHEW thank goodness I have a bazillion stamping images here so I didn't have to try to freehand this sucker!
Here's my take on a geometric mani! I used a bunch of images from the Cheeky XL plates!
I like my ring finger least of all lol!
Thumbie is cool though!!!
I'm wearing it with my black and white top--I wonder what everyone at work will say about this one???
Make sure you check out what all my friends came up with!!!
Hi Readers! A few weeks ago when a few of my friends and I did a Monochrome Monday I was completely blown away by my sweet friend Whitney's design. I've been so proud of her for catching the stamping bug and then she comes up with something SO cool I just had to copy it!
Her mani featured the fab Sticks and Stones from Coverband!
I just love black and white mani's!
This is just Milani Black Swift with Milani White On stamped over it using BM319. Isn't Whitney a genius????
I actually had planned on using this post before my dad went into the hospital so my nails are long here--I miss my long nails but not as much as I miss my dad :(
I think if I had to nothing but black and white mani's for the rest of my life I could live with that!
Make sure you check out all my friends from
