Hi Everyone! Almost Friday!!! Woot!!! I don't have any plans at all for the weekend, nothing going on at all! I'm hoping to spend some time with my mom and maybe work on some new fleece items for the chinchilla cages. How about everyone else?
I don't seem to be reeling anymore from the loss of my longer nails. In fact, and I know I say this every time, I'm really digging this length on them. Maybe I'll keep them shorter like this--I say that every time too but keep growing them out LOL!
Today I'm featuring an all Kleancolor metallic gradient--Metallic Green, Aqua and Sapphire and I'm wearing a design from one of the new Messy Mansion plates--plate MM14. I really love the Messy Mansion plates, Julia comes up with some great ideas and they always stamp great!
I sometimes forget to wear my Kleancolor metallics! They are so lovely!
The full peacock feather image on MM14 is just perfect for this gradient!
If you haven't heard of Messy Mansion yet you NEED to check out her awesome plates! You can find the shop HERE. I'm getting a couple more within the next few weeks, she has a Dragon one coming out!!!! EEK!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!!
Hi Everyone!! On the heels of my tragic break I'm just plugging along. I decided to console myself with a gradient and what could be more beautiful than a Pixie Dust gradient???!!! Whoop!!! All Zoya All The Time! LOL! This is the very love Zoya Miranda, Arabella and Carter--TO DIE FOR GORGEY TOWN!
Ooooohh Ahhhhhhhhhh!
I cannot believe how much I love the textured polishes! Zoya Pixie Dusts are just incredible!
Of course I didn't leave well enough alone and I stamped over it!!! Accent nails here I come!
Since my nails are shorter I'm able to use the PUEEN set I got. I used plates PUEEN22 and PUEEN25 for my accent nails.
I love how you can stamp on textured's too! ALOT easier than stamping over huge chunky glitters!
I think my new shorter nails are loving this design!
I'm definitely going to use my swear image for Christmas!!
Thanks for stopping by!!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!!
Tragedy Strikes!!!! Yesterday at 11:17 am while doing nothing more than removing my Elvis mani BAM! A nail break! And this right on the heels of me telling the fabulous Debbie from The Crumpet that my nails are longer and stronger than ever before with Rejuvacote! Debbie had the misfortune, really horrible misfortune, of a break down to the quick. While I sat there empathizing with her but at the same time talking up Rejuvacote I thought nothing of it as I removed my polish
Can we have a moment of silence for this fallen soldier???!
Yeee Ikes! How sad is this???
What do you think??? Could you live with one shorter than the rest???
Look at the back view
HUGE difference in length!!! GLURG!
To preserve his memory and mourn his loss his fellow soldiers shaved their length to honor their fallen comrade
Much better but look how short they are now!
How will we go on????
How do you like the dramatic black and white effect????! Well look how stained they are!
This is the life of the nail polish addict. I buffed them all the end of May and actually they were the same length but they looked MUCH brighter!
I just feel whenever they get buffed they break but look how long they lasted without a break???? 2 1/2 months! That's pretty good. We'll see if I feel like buffing them or not.
And check out this cute little kiss of blue one of the flower glitters from Aloha From Hawaii left me!
see it up there in the top right??
I did console myself with a pretty cool gradient I'll post pics of tomorrow. I just wanted to show you today that SH!T happens! Lots of people I know think my nails are indestructible, and while I do tout the growth and strength properties Rejuvacote gives me, it's pretty clear my nails aren't bionic LOL!
Has this ever happened to you? Do you stare in horror for a few minutes before filing them down? Do you scramble to save a broken nail or do you just chop them down and start again??
Hi Everyone!! While it is, indeed, a happy Friday it is also the 36th anniversary of the death of Elvis. I've loved him for 43 years and that's no joke. First fell in love with him as a young girl of 7. He died when I was 14 and being the young teenage girl that I was DRAMA ensued! Yep it felt like my world ended. Of course I've gone on to suffer even greater tragedy in my life, but to have him die when I was 14 was the first experience I had with losing someone I loved so deeply.
I asked my friend Gina, the genius behind Red Dog Designs if she could create a couple of polishes for me for this day in particular. I told her what I thought would be cool and she created magic. MAGIC!
First up is Aloha From Hawaii--It's full of multi colored flower shaped glitter and aqua hexes and micro shimmer.
I layered it over a gradient of Sinful Colors Sugar Rush and Savage
I Gina if she could do something like the leis he gave out during his 1972 concert broadcast LIVE from Hawaii--what she made was spot on!
Next up is Elvis Has Left The Building--anyone who knows anything about Elvis knows this was said at the end of every concert!
It's an awesome white jelly full of red, blue and gold hexes in various sizes and teeny gold stars! OMG I DIE!!!
I simply said Gina I really want a polish named Elvis Has Left The Building--is there anyway you can do something like his famous white jumpsuit with the eagle on it?
Yep once again she NAILED it!
I got the Elvis nail decal from ebay!! IT'S JUST LIKE MY TATTOO!
So today my fashion is Elvis jumpsuit--
And I couldn't have had such a great manicure for the last day of this fashion week if not for the fabulous Red Dog Designs!
I wonder if my dad and Lisa have told him how I'm his number one fan???!!!
Make sure you check out what my fabulous group has come up with for their last day as well!
Hi Everyone!!! How have you all been enjoying it so far? i must say I am having a great time. Tomorrow I have a super special mani planned but today let's get a little naughty!!! NC-17 ahead!!!!
My mani for today is a lot of leather and a little lace and just a little something else! LOL!
YOUWZA!!!!! This is almost too hot!
Featuring the gorgeous Zoya Arabella for this mani! Would you believe I cut a bit of my kitchen rug for my "hair"????!!!! The lengths I go too for my creativity LOL!
Here's where I got my ideas from!
Pretty racy but also pretty fun!!!
Did anyone else get naughty today???
Hi Everyone!!! Happy Hump Day! I've got a kick ass mani for you all today! Awhile back I saw this on Facebook--at least I think it was facebook, it might have been Pinterest but either way it was some kind of social media. I thought it was pretty funny so I just HAD to put this on mah fingahs!
OOOOOH HOW HOT IS THIS????!!!!!
I am really getting my money's worth with these spikes!
Here's the picture I saw to inspire the look I recreated today
I don't really believe in Karma but really loved this!
I used the gorgeous Zoya Chyna as my base--she sure is a beauty!
I'm having a lot of fun with my spikes and studs, can't wait to do more with them!
Here's the look all tied together
This might just be the best kick ass mani I'll ever do!
Let's see what my friends have come up with!
Hi Everyone! I must say I am having a blast with Fashion Week! Go figure! I was really dreading it but it's turning out pretty great. Today I have a gradient inspired by a dress worn by the Nasty Girl herself--MS Janet Jackson
First up here she is
And now for my gradient
I used OPI All Shook Up, Sinful Colors Sugar n Spice, Sinful Colors Fig and Illamasqua Baptiste
I thought about adding a black stripe to make the belt BUT I'm just not good enough to draw a straight black line
And here we all are together!
So far I'm on a roll! Wonder what I'll come up with tomorrow?!
Let's see what the rest of my friends came up with
