I'm back...

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...

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....

So, on to pictures...next post will be an award from another blogger, but for now, pics!

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.



Now for critter pics I know you like them, Marias Nail Art, LOL!

So...this is one of my daughters cuddling the Demon Kitty, Rowan

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!

 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....

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.

A girl must have her tunes....

Take care, I shall be back soon...the sun is coming out more and that helps...and OH, Today is my birthday!

KB Shimmer! Woooo!

OK, playing catch-up again. Anyone who gets snow SICK of winter yet?? SO this first mani was basically me giving winter the Bird...seriously, lol! And not a single managerial soul said a word, heheheheeeee..
So bright! 2 coats of WnW Sunny Side Up, 1 coat of KB Shimmer Orange Pop.

Below, One of my new polishes-Ninja Bat. Valentine-themed colors, but definitely not your typical heartsy polish, lol. It actually is named after a dear friend-her nickname at work, lol! This will be up on my etsy site tomorrow. Hope you like it!

 Below, kitten insanity...I was sitting relaxing on the couch-all of a sudden, the radio BLASTED! I turned around and ding-dong was looking at me like "What?!"

 Nova and Rowan cuddling while I do my nails in my craft/polish room...awwww....

One more pic...

Candeo Colors Melonball! Longtime lemming of mine. 1 coat over a failed polish experiment, lol...



Post-Holiday Post...

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!

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)

On to some mani spammy!

 

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!

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")

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.

Below, the new color I am working on- I am totally loving it, too!-with Lynderella Change dabbed down from the cuticles-This looked so awesome...blingy, but not over the top, you know?

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....
I hope everyone had a wonderful time over the holidays-I wish you all the best: Good Health, Safety, Loved ones nearby and *hugs*
