January Mani Monday on Glitter and Gloss!

Hi there dear precious polish lovers...I know it's been seven months since I've posted anything on this here blog 'o mine, I so sorry.  Only so much can fit into a life and this blog got pushed to the wayside.  BUT!  I've committed to doing a once a month Mani Monday post for Heather on her blog, Glitter and Gloss.  Heather is a sweet girl with a really fun and fabulous blog!  Follow her on all sites she can be followed (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Bloglovin', Pinterest... you get the idea.)

Click the image below to check out my first Mani Monday post on her blog!  So excited to get to do this!

Blue Sparkly Water Marble!

Hey ya'll!  So this is a blue design I did back in April when we were all hitting the blue hard for Autism Awareness.  And I was also heavy into practicing my water marbling.  I tried a couple of different designs in the water for this mani, I'm trying to branch out!  

Flip/Flop February Day 28: Recreate Favorite Day

Hey ya'll.  FINALLY you guys - finally, today, on March 7, near midnight, I am typing up the LAST day of the February challenge... whew.  (**Update, I fell asleep in the midst of this so NOW I'm finishing it near midnight on March 8...)  I had it going on in the beginning and then it kinda fell apart but I was determined to finish this sucker.  Thanks Jillian for hosting this awesome chalenge!  Day 28 challenge was to recreate your favorite day.  There were a few days I really liked and I couldn't decide so I took a little poll on Facebook... and this is what I came up with...

Flip/Flop February Day 17: Delicate Print

Heeey guys! My post is sooo late today!  Sorry about that - this weekend has been jam-packed and discombobulated... Anyway.  Today is Day 17 of Jilltastic Nail Designs Flip/Flop February 28 Day challenge and our choices were Delicate Print or Newspaper.  Now, I've been meaning to try the newspaper thing for a long time, but I had this idea in my head for delicate print, and I didn't have any newspaper, so decision made.

Flip/Flop February Day 14: Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

So today's challenge was Valentine's Day (duuuuh) or French Tip and I chose Valentine's Day.  Mostly because I have a bunch of heart/love stamps I don't really have the urge to use except for on an occasion such as this!  Here they are, my Valentine's nails:

Flip/Flop February Day 11: Splatter

Good Monday morning ya'll!  Remember on Day 9 when I said I was wearing something waaay cool and I couldn't talk about it because it wasn't Day 11??  Well - today is Day 11!!  We had the option today of Splatter or Cocktail Nails.  I went with splatter for a couple of reasons.  1 - I love the way a splatter mani looks and after a failed attempt about a year ago, I've wanted to try another one so bad.  2 - Even after looking at the explanation of the cocktail nails, I was kind of confused.  So here they are, my splatter nails!

Flip/Flop February Day 8: Black and White

Heeeeey ya'll!  It's Friday!  Let me get an amen on that!  Today is day 8 of the Flip/Flop Challenge hosted by Jilltastic Nail Design.  The options we challengers had to choose from was color blocking or black and white.  I chose black and white in a design I've never tried before.  

OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

Good morning ya'll!  It's the middle of the week - and I have a color (Okay, white isn't technically a color...it's a shade or something, just stay with me...) I really really hope you can still buy somewhere.  I love it so much it is the only color of polish in my stash that I have a back-up bottle of.  Today I bring you OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.  (Warning: I may possibly have WAY too many pictures here of a simple white polish - I just loved them all.  Tough it out.)

Pink Roses

Hey everyone!  So I inadvertently took a 3 day hiatus.  Sorry about that.  I haven't had enough time to paint and get new material for ya'll.  PLUS - I have been trying hard to work ahead on a challenge I'm gonna be participating in in February that Jilltastic Nail Design is hosting.  I'm really excited about it because it's my first one!  Lots of new things I've never tried before on there...so look out for some really cool designs and some possible fails, lol.

Anyway - today I have a mani that's a few months old.  I mentioned in this blog post that back in October 2012 I wore pink for every manicure (until Halloween) that month for Breast Cancer Awareness.  This design is from one of those.  I had just gotten my Bundle Monster 2012 stamping plates and I was using them non-stop!

Christmas Mani #3!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Hey ya'll - I'm typing up this post Christmas morning so it's going to be a short one!  I just wanted to make sure I showed you my last Christmas look before Christmas was gone!

Today I'm showing you a Christmas water marble!  Yay!  This is only my fourth or fifth one, so, I'm still very amateur, as you will be able to see.  Middle finger on both hands I got a little over-zealous with the toothpick cleaning up the water and I got a couple of bubbles on a few other fingers.  I'm much happier with my left hand, I did it second.
