Whoops, catch-up!

Who all out there finds summertime incredibly busy?! Here, a lot of things are saved for summer because of the cold/snow. 

So, I am going to spam you with more pictures and less comment-hope that's ok :)

New change purse... Too fun! Yes, I am a bit weird, lol!

Checking our hives for new eggs... What's that you say, " where's the mani's?!"

OK, here you go :)

I posted these on my 6 Harts Facebook page... Lovely Cynthia of Alter Ego gifted me with Sun Goddess! There are holo bits in there, but I couldn't capture them! So gorgeous!

Nail Nation 3000, Rad, 2 coats with a temp tattoo.... I love bright yellows and greens! Bought this one in an Autism fundraiser auction :)

This ^^ is one of mine... Limited edition really, because carmine is the base color and it's not cruelty-free.... I love it, but damn it frustrated me! Didn't make or sell very many because of that. 

I shall let you free now, thanks for following-take care and hug your loved ones, furry or not!

Remember, I'm on Facebook and Instagram under: 6harts!

Dotticure with Pure Ice polishes & giveaway heads-up!

This mostly uses Pure Ice, but the white dots are Sinful Shine. I've seen some great dotticures by friends on Facebook, so this mani is totally inspired by my friend, Things I Love At The Moment! The lovely Pointless Cafe got me well and truly hooked on Pure Ice with her Thrifty Thursdays posts, too! 

I am on Instagram now as 6 Harts.... And for those of you that know me, also on Facebook as 6Harts :0)

Lavender growing like crazy in my mother-in-law's garden, and the alpacas below...these boys are soooo curious!

Take care and don't forget to visit pointlesscafe.com to enter her birthday giveaway!! There are 2 6 Harts Polishes and lots of other great prizes!

Butterfly Nirvana

Hope everyone had a fun and safe St.Patrick's Day if you celebrated! I'm not much of a party-er and stayed home and relaxed with family.

This mani evolved while I worked on it...I initially planned on stamping a chrome black right over Sinful Colors Nirvana, but I saw an untried and got maybe a bit carried away, hehehehe...
2 coats of SC Nirvana-love this color...

 Combined lighting from Ott light and fluorescent light bulb, above.

Just a tiny little Ott light I found-makes me look pale but maybe the most color-accurate picture.

Now with the untried...Sally Hansen Glass Slipper-ooh are those white Flakies I see?? Yup, I think they are. My friend Saundie bought this and was telling me how pretty it was. I had seen it, but didn't realize what it would look like on the nail...awesome polish imo.

 Above, with no topcoat...a little bumpy

Ooooh, you can see them better in this picture...tiny little flakie goodness in my eyes :0)

OK, it looks better from a distance, I know...close up the color accents on the butterflies are a bit wonky, but I still love them. This may be one of those times when I should have stopped while I was ahead, but I wanted a tiny bit more color on this mani. Nirvana is such a cool/odd color to put other colors with, I am not very confident in my color pairings with this one.

Here is a pic of the Sally Hansen Glass Slippers-looks like a plain Jane glitter polish to me!

Sunshine Spam Alert!

I think it is official...I have spring fever, but since the sun was playing peek-a-boo, I needed some on my fingers.

OK, enough craziness!

2 coats of Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow...

Gimmee SUNSHINE!

One coat of this awesome polish I bought called...L'Oreal Tweet Me



Look at that amazing orange glimmer! I noticed THAT after I brought it home. Almost took my breath away it was so cool. I added some copper hex glitter I bought for frankening. Unfortunately, it made a nasty chemical goo once it was in polish a few hours. Ah, well, it still rocks!

Hope you found some sunshine of your own.

Spoiled Designated Driver + Flakies!

No, I don't think I am crazy but if you have seen this color in the bottle...you might be giving this post the hairy eyeball...

I walked past the Spoiled display after Christmas and said, "meh" but then I thought I would step out of my comfort zone and get something totally different....check 'er out!

This is like the weirdest/coolest color to me, lol. I couldn't figure it out until I had it on for a few days...it looks like cooked squash! LOL, Now you can call me loony!

Look familiar?! ROFL! I fell in love with this color when I was learning how to spin (make yarn from wool). Same darn color. I just about snorted, I laughed so hard when I realized. You know you have a problem when you are seeing a potential franken in beautiful yarns or thinking of how to make a cool yarn that looks like your favorite polish...GAH, I am a nut!

Above, with 2 coats of FP Asylum.....too FEW flakies for the look I envisioned....

Ah, there we go. I added a nice coat of Golden Rose Scale Effect! I wanted the purplish flakes to jump out more. I Adored how this looked, weird as it might seem. It made me happy. Ah, so distracting driving in the sunlight...

Polka Dot Insanity!

I was just telling a co-worker the other day that I would never be able to pull off a polka dot summer dress...BUT a polka dot mani is a whole other can of worms!

Many very talented ladies have done this mani in a stunning fashion. This is just my version of it. Work was hectic and stressful this week, so I needed something fun and carefree.
Two coats of Revlon Silver dollar, with 2 sizes of polka dots. I used my dotting tool for the small dots and the flat end of a bamboo skewer for the large dots. I have been wanting to try this mani for almost 6 months now, hehehhe.

 GAH! look at the smearing! I hate it when I think I did a great mani and pictures show me this kind of stuff...grrrr

Right hand...I don't use this one much for photos....I am right handed and need that for clicking pictures!

Here is what I used:

Speaking of dots....here is a recent mani that was not so successful, but the first time I did a mani with this franken. Meh, ok, but nothing to rave about!

Take care and be safe :0)

Haunted House Mani (pic heavy)

This has got to be the most Kick-butt mani I have ever done! I have also tagged on some other pics at the end for fun.

On to the nails!! I used 2 coats of a Finger Paints orange frost that has a cool greenish duochrome. I haven't worn it in years, because I have only recently discovered what huge fun nail art can be :0)

After the FP layers, I sponged on Quirius Eggplant from this mani. Then for kicks and giggles, a little China Glaze Frostbite on the tips. After that, I was inspired to slap on a layer of Pure Ice Heart Breaker so it looked like this:

Freaking awesome at this point, in my opinion...almost left it that way!!
BUT.....I had this great idea to use bits and parts of the new Bundlemonster plates. I used the church/house, and parts of the pumpkin/vines and tiny little bats, lol! I used Wet N Wild Black to stamp...
I had to pull out my DSLR to take the next pictures, because the haunted house is hard to see....

I TOTALLY love how this turned out...my thumb and my middle finger have the same designs on both hands---so awesome. I can see this will be very distracting until I am forced to take it off, lol!!

So on to some other pics I wanted to share. I am a really crafty person and I wanted to make a special pincushion out of wool for a family member that is a quilter/sewer/gardener. This is it....so cool I am selling some of them, too!

Also, I was able to go out exploring on some 4-wheelers with my husband on Monday afternoon and talked him into taking a picture of me  It was a fun afternoon, but too short. I love Autumn, but I am still not ready for winter here in the mountains, hehehehe.....

Halloween Freckles Franken

OK, I know I could have called this funky color HOLOween Freckles, but I couldn't bring myself to do it....just a bit over the top :0)
I made this franken with some OLD Nina Ultra Pro orange frost polish, that yuks me out....Not sure why I ever bought it, but there ya go....addicted, lol.
If you look close, you may be able to see what I put in this mess...Spectraflair, rust glitter and black glitter! (hence the freckles).
2 coats as a base with minimal stamping to show off the polish :0)

2 coats, no topcoat...a bit gritty, but not bad.

 2 coats, with SV as a topcoat....Like shiny, sparkly glowworms on my fingers!

OK...with bats, since I was feeling somewhat Batty today :0) SV over the stamping. This is from one of the new Bundlemonster plates, and I plan to make the most of the Halloween stamps :0)
I love this color as much as I hated the original Nina Ultra Pro Burnt Orange...the rust/copper glitter is hard to catch, but I like the fact that these are things you don't often see in the same polish: holo, glitter, black speckles and some metallic polish in there for good measure-it's a keeper.
Take care-stay dry and warm...rainy and cold here.

"Salty Margarita" Franken and subsequent mani!!

OK, I confess, I saw one of the new Barielles on one of the sites I follow  (Candy Coated Tips) and I was highly intrigued by a  nude colored-flakie polish ...not clear...NUDE!!!I didn't know the flakie goodness could show through. SO of course I had to try this, I had some pretty sheer french mani colors floating around (doesn't everyone?!)
Tried the palest pink/beige one, liked it, made one for my friend, but then I got this wild hair and added Nubar 2010 to this polish, a sheerish day-glo green that was cheap and a liquid staining machine. I like the way it looked and couldn't leave well enough alone...good thing!
I added a bit of my new fave glitter, Sinful Colors, It's All About You...OMG!!!! Yah, I am loving this stuff!!! Check out the mani first and then the ingredients. You might be able to see the flakies better if you click on the picture...

1 base of white polish, then 2 of Wet N Wild Sunny Side Up (orange) and 3 coats of my new Salty Margarita franken :0)

What do you think?  AWESOMENESS in a bottle?!?? Yeah, I almost did an "Angry Birds" mani...that will be another weekend...but I wanted something equally silly/bright. I do believe I succeeded!! I can't quite get away with something this wild at work (actually, I probably could).
