Cover your eyes!!

This was called retina-searing by a friend....it certainly freaked out my camera! I don't have a name for the Color Club polish, but it was part of a collection I bought at Ross Dres For Less....truly, this thing is freaking bright, but fun!

Sinful Colors 24/7 went on first.... 2 coats, then a friend convinced to to sponge and then stamp. Like the crazy woman that I am... I did... At like 9:30 pm lol!

Um, yeah.... Retina-searing.... Thank-you to the real mynailpolishobsession (IG)  for pegging it right on the mark. 

Ahaaaaaa, thank you to the lovely Marnie who convinced me to do this!!! It totally rocked and is one of the few manis I will be sad to take off! I stamped alternating white and silver using bundle monster plates..... Still loving it even though it's chipping :(

Kitten-y fun, lol

Ooooh, almost forgot, BEE pictures too!

The tiny red arrows point to bee eggs! Don't ya love how the one bee sort of posed? Looks a little like the Unibomber pics.... Too weird!

Take care, cover your eyeballs for 6 hours to recover, now!

Talk at ya later!! 

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!

So I went a little stamp-crazy....

I really love how this turned out! 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!

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. Now for the pics!

Here's what else I've been doing...

Strawberries from my daughter's strawberry plant ^^^

Ceramics that thankfully did NOT blow up in the kiln, below...

And my poor Nova freaking out from fireworks, finally stopped clawing at the walls....

Yup, she crawled into that tiny crevice next to the couch all by herself...

Holy Smokes...I've crossed over to the Dark Side!

Wow, I know I've been AWOL for a few months, glad you've stuck around! 

I have an iPhone now, and that is where the Dark Side comes in! I have always been a diehard Android fan....No more! Holy Crap Apple has made my life easier! I can do EVERYTHING from this phone and nothing crashes *Droid, you crashed my etsy app for the last time*

So mani spammy?? Yes indeed, if this is going to be easy as I think, I may be phone blogging for a bit :)

Manis! And pets, of course! 

This lovely polish was a gift, from Above The Curve....way more gorgeous in person, I tell ya! Darn shame I chipped it on day 2 :(

Here is another beauty... Elevation Daisen over OPI My Vampire Is Buff....I am totally a new convert of Elevation Polishes

 

Ok, critter spam.... Since I have months of manis for you, lol!! Here ya go, and take care!!

One more....

Mr. Miracle kitty, Goliath is still doing quite well....hug all your loved ones!

Playing catch-up!

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!


First hmmm, maybe my pink/Breast Cancer Awareness manis... I know, October is over, but they were still great manis!

Above, Sally Hansen Twisted Pink with  diluted Nina Ultra Pro holo topcoat that spoke to me...
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...

The Polish Hoochie introduced me to the Seche Ultra V-Best thing for slow drying Zoyas---I can now really love Zoyas!

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

Below... I think I used the diluted NUP holo polish (above)...not totally sure, though...But I liked it!

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!

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...

 

 

 

Ok, slide show over...I hope you liked these!

Head Trip!

I have my Nail Mojo back, I think.... I sat down to do something plain jane with pink...not having much in mind and came up with this mani, and I adore it!

I called this "Head Trip" because, OK, I grew up in the 70's and it seemed like everyone talked about drugs. This made me think of all the songs and talk about acid trips. Never did it, but it brought to mind those memories....psychedelic craziness! Don't get me wrong...I am not promoting drugs of any kind!!
OK, Nuff said....enjoy the spam!

 Duochrome loveliness, yes?!

The guilty parties.... Sally Hansen Twisted Pink, LA Colors-sheerish purple (can't remember the name), Rimmel purple/blue duochrome and these awesome little Sally Girl Gold Glitters....

May your loved ones be healthy and happy, and may your Nail Mojo never leave you....

First Magnetic Mani

OK, ignore my crappy magnet job and check out the color combination....

2 Coats of Essence Steel Me (in a trade from lovely Buzzwheedle)...in retrospect, I would have done better using a close color for the undies and 1 thicker coat of the magnetic polish.

But here we go...like I said, ignore my lousy magnet work. 1 coat of Pure Ice, Oh Baby over the top...

 Some of my nails have such a sharp C-curve that I only got striping across the arches.

 Pink duochrome shimmer...*sigh*

I picked up a China glaze magnet from Sally Beauty Supply, and they work tolerably well, but I still want to play with making my own. 1 coat of Out The Door over the top glossed this mani right up!

I really love how the combination of textures and colors looks....might get me through the wimpy lines, hehehehe! What do you think? I know not everyone like magnetic polishes...but I love the options plus the metallic aspect...love me some metallic polish!

Whimsical VS Voodoo Doll

WOW...2 diametrically different manis in my opinion...You will have to tell me which one YOU like best :0)

First- Revlon Whimsical.  I used a very pretty but PIA franken for the undies on this one. My very first franken and  a pain to apply evenly. 2 coats of carefully applied Whimsical over the pale blue franken.

I totally feel like an Easter egg with this mani...and I do love Easter (plus those malted milk ball candies that look like this!)

OK, Next... Nail-venturous Voodoo Doll. A friend shared her bottle of this polish with me and I really love it! Totally opposite feel than Whimsical...one is light and fun, the other is dark and mysterious.

2 coats of NV VD over a medium grey franken of mine. This polish is topcoat hungry!  2 thick coats of SV and still a bit bumpy...

So what do YOU think....If you had to choose between these two manis, which would you choose?

For some weird reason, 2 of my last 3 mani's have had "pop-offs"...the whole of the nail polish came off in one fell swoop...left my naked nail behind without even a backwards glance. I'm not sure what the deal was, but I think it was the polishes interacting with each other....It was Nirvana butterflies and the Voodoo doll manis! Cross your fingers for Whimsical...

Mari Moon Artsy and Zoya Ginessa Mani (Spam!)

Hey there, it has been a long miserable week so not very fun. Back to things that make me happy and bring sunshine to my day :0)
On to the manis...

I broke down and bought some Mari Moon polish, and I am ADORING it! I bought a set, and will be splitting it with my friend Saundie (she wanted Unconventional) so I may keep the rest. This stuff is to die for *sigh*

Two coats of Orly Liquid Vinyl, with one coat of MM Artsy over the top. Speed dry top coat in between colors and on top. (Out The Door brand)

Above, you might be able to see the blue and the purple at once....below, the rosy pink color..Can't wait to try the other colors, now!

I thought I would try the picture style that Alizarine Claws uses..but no one can do it like she does! She has phenomenal nails!

Now, a not so fab mani, but it was pretty...
Two coats of Zoya Ginessa. I used MM Daring for the dots, and then used some of the Zoya speed dry drops over the top. I STILL dented it during the night! I really love Zoya colors, but the fact that I can't expect fast drying OR mix and match as easily makes me crazy with frustration!

Here is a little friend of ours we had to say farewell to this week....Snowball. Goliath liked/tolerated her. I hope we made her day as bright as she made ours. We shall miss you sweetie
