My Turkey Day Mani! Happy Thanksgiving! :-)

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Are you having lots of good food today? This is going to be a short entry, as we have family coming within the hour to eat. We have SO much food. We'll be eating turkey for a month! LOL! I wanted to get my mani. posted before the day was over. I used Finger Paints Cordur-Orange. It's the perfect pumpkin colored orange. It reminds me of pumpkin pie. I used two coats, and application was great. I then added one coat, of NYX Gilded Glitter on top, and added Joby Thanksgiving stickers to each nail.

First up, the completed mani.

Thanks for reading! I hope you are having a wonderful day, with lots of yummy food! If you aren't celebrating Thanksgiving today, I still how you are having a wonderful day! ;-)

Flakie Halloween/Fall Mani. (For real this time!)

UGH! I've been in the middle of typing this up three times now, and all of the sudden, it just posts. So annoying! Anyway, here we go again. LOL!


Good morning! How has your weekend been so far? Mine's been good. :-) Yesterday, we had family pics. taken with aunts,uncles,cousins,parents and my grandma. It was fun to get together for it. I took some yummy Halloween cupcakes and Apple Cider. The weather was nice, so we were able to have the pics. taken outside by the trees that have changed to the fall colors. I think they will turn out well. :-)

I have a fall/Halloween mani. to show you today. I started out with a black creme polish by Blue Cross. It was one of the cute little pumpkin polishes, which I will show you more of tomorrow. ;-) I then added a Colorama flakie by Maybelline, named Shimmer Girl. Now, I know there are several flakie polishes out there, and I have a few of them. However, I think that Shimmer Girl beats all of them. If only they still made it! It has the same orange/green/golden yellow flakes that the others have, but there is just something about this one that makes it better. In my opinion anyway. ;-) I just love it, and I so want to get my hands on another bottle or two.....or five. LOL! I was really lucky to find this one. I was in a dollar store, in an outlet mall and spotted this lone polish for only $1! I grabbed it up as fast as I could. ;-)

I also added pumpkin stickers by Joby to my ring fingers. Then, I decided to see what it looked like matte. I usually love matte flakies and glitter, but for this mani. I like it better shinny. I ended up putting topcoat over the matte, to make it shinny again.

End of Summer Mani.. and Dolphin Glitter!

Good afternoon! Since it's labor day, that pretty much means the end of summer to me. We are having gorgeous fall like weather here, and I LOVE it! Fall is my absolute fav. time of year. I love pretty much everything about it. The odd thing? This year, I'm sorta sad to see the summer go. I'm not sure why, but it just seems like it really flew by this year. I decided to do an end of summer mani. It's okay, but I had such better visions of it in my mind. Do you ever do that? Have a great mani. planned in your head, but then you actually do it, and don't really like it? Hate that! That's kind of what happened with my mani. today.

I wanted to do a beach theme, but the sand color I used, turned out to look more like really went sand, and the stickers I used, don't want to stick so well. The glitter I used covered some of my dolphin glitters, and I guess I really just want to take it off. LOL! I'm going to try to be patient, and leave it on though. Until tomorrow. If I can stand it. ;-)

I used Lise Watier Blue-Tiful,Lise Watier Ile Deserte,PA AA01, and Joby nail stickers. Blue-Tiful is a pretty blue glass fleck shimmer and application was great. I did use three coats to get it opaque. Ile Deserte is a carmel color with gold and copper glitter. Application was great, and I used two coats. PA AA01 one is a really cool glitter. It has dolphin and star glitter pieces, mixed in with small blue glitter and med. sized silver glitter.

Let me know what you think of it. I kinda like it, but like I said it's not what I wanted it to look like. Kinda looks like a hot mess on my nails! LOL!

Click to see the dolphin glitter....it's the best part of the mani. ;-)







Here are the two Lise Watier polishes before the stickers and glitter.





Thanks for looking, and I hope you are having a great Labor Day! :-)

Happy 4th of July! :-)

Happy 4th of July! If you don't celebrate the 4th happy Mon! Ha, ha....yeah, I know but I do hope you have happy day. :-)

Do you have any big plans today? Are you going to watch fireworks? Or shoot off your own? We're having a big BBQ with family, and then watching fireworks.

For my mani. today I used China Glaze Hey Sailor,OPI Alpine Snow,OPI Dating a Royal,Meteorites Moonshot and Joby nail stickers.

CG Hey Sailor is a bright red,OPI Alpine Snow is a pure white,OPI Dating a Royal is a royal blue color and Meteorites Moonshot is red,white and silver bar glitter.

The first three pics. are of the finished mani.
