Nabi Jumbo Purple Glitter over Finger Paints Black Expressionsim.

Well. Here I am yet AGAIN, apologizing for being MIA. I am sorry, and I really appreciate you all sticking with me. I fully expected to log on and see that I'd lost followers. Not only did I not lost any, but I gained a couple. So thank you to all who have stayed, and welcome to the new comers. :-) I really appreciate ALL of you. :-)

I didn't expect this week to be so busy. It all started on Fri. evening when I got a call from my mom, telling me that President Obama was going to be in my hometown, speaking at the high school I graduated from. I seriously thought she was joking. I'm from a very small town in Kansas, called Osawatomie. There are around 4,500 people who live there. I have no idea why Obama chose us, but he did. I had to go. This was a HUGE deal for my little town. There were only 400 tickets to give away. So, on Sun. morning, my husband and I drove down and stood in line for tickets. We got in line at 6am and stood there until noon. It was absolutely freezing cold. It was well worth it though, because we got our tickets! Obama spoke on Tues. and it was really amazing to be a part of it. My dad, who has been a history teacher at the high school for almost 50 years got to sit right down in front. Pretty cool! The entire thing still feels so surreal. You would not believe the amount of cops,swat team,secret service,bomb dogs etc...that were all around the town. Anyway, that's where I've been the past few days. Something I will never forget. :-)

Okay...on to the nail news. ;-) My nails are slowly getting longer after my nail catastrophe, and I think I finally found my perfect black creme. It's Finger Paints Black Expressionsim. It's what I've been looking for, forever! It's not runny,not too thick,doesn't chip and it's a ONE coater. It's smooth, and applies like a dream. I applied Nabi Purple Jumbo glitter over it. Purple Jumbo Glitter is pretty amazing! It's made of small and med. orange glitter,large orange hex glitter,large orange square glitter,and round purple glitter. I am loving it over black! I also tested over purple and it looked great too.

Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful day! :-)

Fallen Leaves Mani.

Good evening! How has your Monday been? Mine's been quite good. Still no word from the vet though. Hopefully, we will have more news tomorrow. I belong to a couple of online nail forums, and one of them has themes from time to time. Today's theme was fallen leaves, and I decided to take part in it.

I started out using China Glaze Below Deck, which is from this year's summer collection. Below Deck is a taupe color with a creme finish. I then used several different colored glitters. I used a burnt orange glitter, by a brand I picked up at Marshall's called Color Zone. The green glitter is by Love & Beauty which you can find at Forever 21. It's just called green. How original, huh? :-D It's an exact dupe to LA Girl's Purge from the Glitter Addict collection. It has small green glitter, and medium sized round green glitter. I used Wet 'n Wild Prancer from last year's holiday collection. It's med. sized red glitter in a clear base. The gold glitter pieces are NYX Girls Gilded Glitter. Of course, I had to see what it looked like matte, so I used Essie Matte About You.

First up, are the pics. before I used the Matte top coat.
