Feels like a big one though. <div>I'm finding I don't have as much time for my blog as I want and need. I have been doing a lot of stuff on Facebook and Instagram under 6 Harts and also under my real name. </div><div>At any rate, I seriously feel like I need to do one or the other. I know a lot of bloggers spent a Lot of time on a variety of different social media platforms.... But I can't seem to! I think if I wasn't making polishes, it might be different but who knows?</div><div>At any rate, I am going to take a hiatus from blogging (or feeling like I need to blog, lol) and I may come back, but there are no guarantees. I'm also in a lot of nail polish groups under my real name on Facebook. Contact me via my blog email if you want to contact me personally. If any of you would like to follow me or look me up on Facebook or Instagram, I'd love it!

I used the new Sinful Shine Wisp, stamped with Konad pink over my ring finger and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Twisted Pink as a base on all others. Wisp was my white stamping polish-I think it worked really well for this :) I played around with my pinks to get a match for the Konad pink, but still not perfect lol!<div>So what do you think?! Too much? I had loads of compliments on this mani and it was unique enough that it didn't bore me...which is saying something for me! I usually do my nails Sunday night and then again on Wednesday or Thursday, depending on the wear. I can't stand any level of chipping.

Day 2 of the Tri-Polish Challenge<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I have day two of the Tri-Polish Challenge...I was really happy with how this turned out! I got the idea from a picture on Pinterest...the colors on that I think were a turquoise blue and white. I love this version...<br />
<br />
The polishes I used for this part of the challenge are A England Elaine and Pure Ice Wild Thing. Elaine is a deep plummy purple, but my camera just doesn't capture the awesomeness of this polish...so beautiful in person...<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started with 2 coats of Elaine and then after that dried...I coated half my accent nails with Wild Thing. For the dots, I used the flat end of a bamboo skewer. I used a smaller object for the purple dots in the center. These reminded me of old-style Victorian boots...the kind with buttons....</div>

Yes, I am afraid I finally caved and decided to try a nail challenge...right about 10:00 last night I was thinking it was a big mistake...but after seeing some of these...I have more ideas, lol!
The challenge is on this link <a href="http://www.the-crumpet.com/2013/03/the-tri-polish-challenge-starts-march.html">The Crumpet</a>
. Here was my first day:
<br />
<br />
I used Pure Ice Wild Thing, A England Elaine and Sally Hansen Rouge Red...<br />

It was kind of fun, but truly, I don't know how to properly use a striping brush, lol! My line started out narrow and progressed in thickness....ugh! I've always been a chicken to try one of these challenges, but this is a pretty laid-back thing...I might be able to handle this one! Check out all the other lovely manis below!!

Yes, I've been AWOL for a bit....hopefully I am not the only one that has slumps in the Fall and end of winter...<br />
<br />
Work has been busy and life has been a little chaotic, but everyone at my house is healthy. 2 of my kids are looking for work now, but that is life and sometimes how it goes....<br />
<br />
So, on to pictures...next post will be an award from another blogger, but for now, pics!<br />

This is 2 coats on my 6 Harts Polish Glacier, with Secret Galaxy over the top and some fun nail art. I was inspired by a lady in a nail group I belong to and she did the heart with crackle polish . I used blue painter's tape for the heart, but only because the scotch tape kept ripping. My pointer finger was done with the extra cut out heart...put on the white nail and sponged over the top.<br />

Below, she thought she would help me put together my new work center. I can't get IKEA Helmers here, no stores in Montana and shipping would make it out of line. Another lovely blogger turned me on to the Michael's craft store "3 drawer storage cubes" and a good sale..so I nabbed these babies!<br />

More help.....except for the tiny screw packs, she was kind of fun help. Yup, she has nail caps on. I hate the thought of declawing and these seem to keep the clawing down....<br />

The finished center. They didn't have 4 of the 3 drawer units, so one is a 2 drawer one...works for my bubble wrap, envelopes and tape for mailing out polish.<br />

Whew! Holidays are over, everyone is healthier and my house is hmmm, somewhat back to normal! We had a bad cold/flu move through our house and hit just about everyone I know...blegh!<br />
<br />
My etsy shop has been busy and so that has meant fewer posts and probably less fancy manis. Oh, well-thank-you for everyone that is still reading my blog! I can't WAIT for spring, now, since my sweetie found an affordable small (6'x8') greenhouse kit for me-yes, he is indeed a "keeper" :0)<br />
<br />
On to some mani spammy!<br />

2 coats of Rainbow Honey Pinkie Promise over the top of Essie Demure Vix. I picked up demure Vix somewhere along the way dirt cheap and was thinking I would trade it...but darn! I really kinda like this polish! Covers WAY better than I expected and it is the perfect undie for some of my glitters. On my index finger, there is 1 coat-pretty good coverage in my opinion!</div>

Above-a Freaking "My Little Pony" parade on my nails, lol! I decided that this was a nail polish addict's version of "gratuitous sex and violence" (in other words, "Gratuitous glitter and glitz")<br />

Above and below-Crows Toes Purple People Eater (Yes, I grew up with the song!) over Quirius Eggplant. 2 coats of Eggplant, 1 coat of CT PPE. I tell you what, PPE is beyond stunning-it F-ing POPS! I tweaked the photos a bit to show it more color accurate, but PPE is super sparkly and glamorous-I ADORE it. I covered it with Seche Ultra V, Gelous, and 1 coat of SV for gloss, since it is a tiny bit gritty, but I really love the total glossy look.<br />

Can you see the gold/green shimmer in the blue? That is the best part I think...it is a very strong, noticeable shimmer and it is lovely....<br />
I hope everyone had a wonderful time over the holidays-I wish you all the best: Good Health, Safety, Loved ones nearby and *hugs*</div>

We are indeed Blessed. I received a call late last week from a lady that had Goliath at her house-He had been living feral and was trying to adopt her home/critters! I zipped up there so fast, I was like greased lighting! He was about 3 miles away and across a mani river from us....<br />
<br />
I was so shocked and surprised I couldn't even cry until later-He had been missing for almost 3 months, and here he was back home:0) We took him to the vet and he was surprisingly unharmed...2.5 pounds lighter, a broken canine tooth (a low fever) and very freaked out. Pics below...<br />
<br />
First night home...growled and purred while he ate...growled at EVERYONE!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He was not happy about Rowan, but he is teaching her some manners, lol! All three on my daughter's loft bed...Dove was freaking thrilled to see him but not happy to share the moment with Rowan-note the ears, lol!<br />

The even better news...it took him all of 3 days to start his normal habits again, like his spot on our bed, expecting his food dish to be in a particular place and all that stuff cats do :-D<br />
<br />
OK, mani time and a wee bit of spam...<br />
I had this crazy urge to try a mani I had seen on Pinterest ( I do have an account there under <a href="http://pinterest.com/gott/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><em><strong>Gott</strong></em></span></a>, come visit!)...so here is my version!<br />

Not going to apologize this time...especially since it sounds like mani spam is a GOOD thing!<br />
<br />
My Esty store is finally picking up, but that means a bit less time for fun blogging, lol! The jewelry isn't selling, but that's ok...it will be mine if it doesn't go, lol...(that is the biggest benefit of making your own jewelry!)<br />

Holy Cow...this mani turned out awesome...except that my clean-up sucked....One hand looks like I was a walk-on for the Walking Dead show...the other just looks a little sloppy, lol!<br />
I saw a lovely mani on Pinterest and wanted a similar look but with different colors. It was a pin by ColoresdeCarol, called China Glaze Polarized, <a href="http://www.coloresdecarol.com/2012/07/china-glaze-polarized.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #20124d;"><strong><em>here</em></strong></span></a>.<br />
<br />
I started with 1 coat of MAC Frost Asiatique, part of a holiday set I bought on eBay and never tried...Stupid me, this color rocks!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wXeGryX39J8/UKxNulVxF0I/AAAAAAAAFoU/BSmJDSIkxaA/s1600/IMAG3089" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wXeGryX39J8/UKxNulVxF0I/AAAAAAAAFoU/BSmJDSIkxaA/s320/IMAG3089" width="218" /></a></div>
<br />
That is one coat...ONE. Kick-ass red creme. I love it and I will be wearing this again soon since Christmas is coming.<br />
<br />
Then I gave it 2 coats of Orly Star Spangled...a gorgeous red jelly with red glitter. This was a bugger to photograph...but lovely.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The glitter in this is almost an orange-red....flashy but Ahhhh! SPAM-FEST!<br />

I did use 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of SV to super-gloss this. Notice the bloody-looking cuticles and remnants of black on my middle finger...sheesh.<br />
<br />
OK, there is also some weirdness on my ring finger and pinkie...started stamping using one image plate...changed my mind and did a quick wipe-off, hahahaha! Yeah...finishing this mani was an exercise in weirdness...but I love it, and it balanced my cranky mood</div>

I plan on spamming everyone with many pictures, lol! Hope no one minds-if you are curious about a polish and I haven't listed it...ask, and I shall find what I used!<br />
<br />
<br />
First hmmm, maybe my pink/Breast Cancer Awareness manis... I know, October is over, but they were still great manis!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b630Auu0NW4/UJ81qYWZIqI/AAAAAAAAFc0/RzTwRgQY0b0/s1600/IMAG2797" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b630Auu0NW4/UJ81qYWZIqI/AAAAAAAAFc0/RzTwRgQY0b0/s320/IMAG2797" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Above, Sally Hansen Twisted Pink with diluted Nina Ultra Pro holo topcoat that spoke to me...<br />
That's the full-strength version below, with my new all time Zoya Holy Grail topcoat. If you have bought any of these new NUP polishes in this different bottle...the brush is unbelievably HUGE! My poor skinny pinkie was swamped...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AfPhgNi-ojE/UHjmQ1rsgyI/AAAAAAAAFd4/JV2P6gM9pZA/s1600/IMAG2753" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AfPhgNi-ojE/UHjmQ1rsgyI/AAAAAAAAFd4/JV2P6gM9pZA/s320/IMAG2753" width="233" /></a></div>
<br />
The Polish Hoochie introduced me to the Seche Ultra V-Best thing for slow drying Zoyas---I can now really love Zoyas! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Below, I can't remember if this was Sinful Colors...but I think it is...pretty slate gray with a blue-ish sheen to it. I stamped over it using LeaLAC stamping plates and Konad special pink stamping polish<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vTdQQ9f75_o/UHjmCVYGZeI/AAAAAAAAFeQ/N_-fpe89snk/s1600/IMAG2723" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vTdQQ9f75_o/UHjmCVYGZeI/AAAAAAAAFeQ/N_-fpe89snk/s320/IMAG2723" width="320" /></a></div>

Below, my very first successful water marble!! Whoo-hoo! I used my 6Harts Secret Galaxy for the blue you see. I know I used my dotting tool a bit much, but that is ok, I guess, I was very proud of the result!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One last mani...My best friend gave me a Zoya that just wasn't her color (not sure I believe her!) and here is my mani for the fist time using the Seche Ultra V....this was stamp-able in under 10 minutes, I was SO happy! Such a vibrant color, I thought, but clean-up was bugger...</div>

Ok, I have been absent from my blog (guilty as charged...) but trust me...the nails have been polished! I am going to spam you with manis and some new kitten pics.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have never mentioned this on my blog, but I have one son and he is an Army Veteran and I am immensely proud of him. We are making home made pizzas tomorrow for Veterans' Day for him.<br />
I decided I would do a special mani for the day!<br />
<br />
By the way I am just as proud of my three strong daughters also...My mother raised me to be a strong woman and my daughters are all that way as well :0)<br />
<br />
OK, on to the mani!<br />

I have seen a lot on the Internet today about bullying and I know I don't have very many people that read my blog, but here is where I stand.<br />
<br />
Don't do it-there is nothing funny or cool about it, it is demeaning and hurtful. I don't care what people think about nails or hands that aren't perfect-open up your minds, close your mouths or get off the Internet.<br />
<br />
My sweetie grew up with significant learning disabilities and so has one of my daughters (they are both far more intelligent than I am!). I have seen what that meanness of spirit does to a person first hand and it doesn't take much to bruise a person's spirit beyond repair. My mom used to say, "walk a mile in some one's shoes before you judge". Thank-you Mom, that is how I try to live.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have seen someone insult a fellow blogger-made me furious. It was the lovely ABOP that was insulted. It was beyond unacceptable. (The Redneck in me wanted to "Open up a can of Whoop-Ass")<br />
<br />
So count me in-My precious few readers-Being hateful, spiteful or downright racist is not ever acceptable.<br />

I have a mani with tattoos again.....I am loving this look!<br />
<br />
2 coats of a Believe Beauty Purply-Pink....I can't remember the color (long week, sorry!)<br />
<br />
I had a bit of bubbling with this-you might be able to see it in this picture-<br />

<br />
I had forgotten to take a picture and you can see I had already put a layering polish over my pinkie-woops!<br />
<br />

<br />
Above, my new polish called What Halo?! In the light box, you can see all the golden shimmer.<br />
Below-under just an Ott light, it looks a bit different.<br />

Butterfly tattoos! They were in the center of the tattoo sheet-otherwise my fingers would have been all a flutter with butterflies!<br />

Below, my right hand-not too bad considering I <u>am</u> right handed, and taking a picture with my left hand is a bugger, lol! Any lefties out there notice all the darn cameras are made for righties?!<br />
