Introducing White Lightening! [Challenge Post]

My "cousin" White Lightening stopped over tonight. He has been coming around a lot. Another stray into the household. His dog even moved in yesterday. He wants me to tell the world that he really wants to join the welder's union.

Anyway... White Lightening and I grew up together, and have had many adventures together. Stories for another day...

My mani for tonight is "Cougar Attack! Rawr!" Or... that's what I called it anyway.

Can't get a non blurry picture...

Now... I'm going the fuck to bed!

Sparkling CVS Haul - Thanks Mom!

It was time to pick up prescriptions again. Since I have started my polish hobby, I always look forward to my trips.

I happen to be with mom. And, thankfully at that. They are having a Sally Hanson buy one get one half off sale. They also have the Gem Crush collection. She drug me away before I could pick up ALL the colors. Ended up with Big Money, Lady Luck, and Showgirl Chic. Love them all. Can't get over the sparkle factor.

To round out my SH I picked up Hidden Treasure.

I also picked up a 75% off bottle of Milani Techno Red. Not as impressed with that one. I grabbed the last bottle of Wet n Wild How I Met your Magenta. I have been eyeing it up for a little, and saw it as a sign.

To make my day even better, mom bought these polishes for me! She is the best momma in the world!

Wishing for Winter [Challenge Post]

So, I live in Pennsylvania. We haven't had much snow this year, and it kinda pisses me off. So, I thought if I would paint my nails wintery, we would get some snow!

Pretty simple taping project

A littler closer up, accent nail!

Colors used L to R: Hot Topic no name "blue", Wet n Wild Silvivor, Funky Fingers Blue Scales

Think it will work?!

Scored a touchdown on this one! (Haha... get it? Cause it's the Superbowl...)[C P]

Another mani that I L-O-V-E. I some how managed to time this so that I was done right as Halftime started, so I didn't miss any of Madonna! Which, BTW... AWESOME! I hope you didn't miss it. I am sure you will be able to find it on the inter-webs soon...

Colors used L to R: Wet & Wild Hanna Pinktana (glitter), Sally Girl (no name), Sinful Colors Slate, plus the nail art stickers I used

So, how did I do?!

P. S. Go GIANTS! (Notice the time on this... I got distracted... great game!)

A lesson in wild with my mom

When my mom saw my nails from the hypnotic purple post, she told me she wanted to try that on her nails. Haha, sure mom...

Cut to last night... She had her mind set on getting her fingernails painted purple. I tried to talk her down to a more muted color, but she wanted Wet n Wild's Buffy the Violet Slayer. She hardly ever wears nail polish, so it was stunned by this.

Surprisingly, this color looks really good on her, although I don't know that I have ever seen her in such a bright color.

I lathered up her cuticles and fingers with lots of oil because they are quite rough and dry.

SO PURPLE!

Love you Momma!

Hypnotic Purple [Challenge Post]

 FINALLY! Something I love! 

This mani was done on Thursday night, with a budding migraine, and I was just trying to get it done, so I could go to bed.

Turns out, I do some of my best work under pressure!

, SH Xtreme Wear in Virtual Violet, Snowman purple/blue glitter, WW Fast Dry in Buffy the Violet Slayer

This is actually a taped mani. If you look closely at my middle finger, you can see the subtle difference from bottom to top. The Virtual Violet didn't show as much as I was hoping, but the end result blew me away.

Blurry to show the sparkly goodness

 I am so happy with the result of this mani. It is another one that I just keep looking at. I actually got several compliments, and was proud to say "I did it myself!"


Too bad it is coming off today... more on that in the next post.

P.S. My Mom wants this done to her nails!
