Naked nails

As promised, these are my nails without polish and just the overlays.

Bling Circus Nails, lol.

These were created by my neighbor Jewelie Swartwout.  She calls them circus nails, but I think they are beautiful. 

The polish is the new Brights line by Sinful Colors available at assorted Walgreen's stores.  We went on the search this morning to find them and never have I seen a more spectacular blue. 

She did a lovely job of designing my nails around this color.  I am so happy with it!

I had bought the bling several months ago from China but have never used it until today.  I must also give kudos to Sylvia at Mundos de Unas for the lovely turquoise color.  She makes the best stamping polish ever!

Acrylic overlays

Let me tell you about the overlays that my dear friend Jewelie introduced me to.  They are amazing!!!  It is just a small layer of acrylic on top of your nails that you can totally do by yourself at home with very little filing.

http://www.amazon.com/100pcs-Dual-Nail-System-Acrylic/dp/B006GXG6FI/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1366915980&sr=8-8&keywords=nail+overlays

The above link is to what we bought, they are incredibly cheap on amazon.

You can add colored tips if you want so it looks as tho you have acrylic nails, or you can just go clear if you paint your nails a lot.  I personally did white glitter tips on my first try out of the gate, and would suggest doing clear the first time.

You use just enough acrylic to reinforce you nails, and they don't look like duck bill fakes.  LOL.


This is what mine look like painted.  I think it is pretty impressive!


Painted again, Still looking good!


I will add a photo of them unpainted shortly so you can see what they look like then...

It's been a while...

So, I got pretty good at the whole left hand painting thing and my posts were pretty lame.  Today I received Seche polish and thought I would give it a shot.  The colors are vibrant and beautiful.  I had ordered a pink and a purple shades and tried the pink one first. 

My, was it bright!  But still so beautiful!  Then I decided at 3a.m. to do some stamping on it.  Wow, was that a mistake.  I'm guessing that I will change it by noon.  LOL

I will definitely be purchasing more of this brand.  Wish I would have purchased a few more to begin with.

Hopefully, there will be a better photo to post tomorrow!

I'm falling behind

Been fighting family issues and a migraine so I've fallen behind.  Hopefully this mani will make up for it

It's CG Strap on your Moonboots and Orly Boho Bonnet.  I really love this color combo!  What do you think?

Oops, miss a few.

Easter weekend suck up on me and I had many things to take care of.  I missed a few posts.

The good news is I was in such a hurry this morning I guess I was extra careful painting so...No cleanup needed.

I love this polish.  It's from the 2012 Color Club Holo collection.  Just forgot the name, I will put it in the label later.

Happy Easter!

Eurso Eurso

This is day three, and I almost skipped because I was so shaky all day.  Beta blockers do make a difference, lol!

My daughter got this polish in an Easter swap, so I figured I'd use it today.  It is Eurso Eurso by OPI.  I think it is quite lovely. 

As you can see in the before and after pics, it was tough going with my bad hand.  Not like yesterday, but it was me not the polish,  FYI.  I'm hoping tomorrow will be better.

I think pink!

Day 2 of my 30 day challenge.  I chose Dance Baby by CG and lucky for me, you can't see nearly as many mistakes as yesterday.  You can still tell before and after pics though!

I'll get better!

New deal

I am making myself a new deal...starting today, I will be painting everyday and posting pre and post clean up pics of my bad hand.  The idea is to make my mail painting skills better.  My friend Ci Arruda gets the props for this idea.
