Man, those are OLD!

Hey, I'm still alive...well, for now. Things have been crazy, but I don't really want to get into it. I hope you guys can respect that :) Just know that I'm ok and hopefully will be for a long time to come.

Ok, I've had these water decals for years. Now when I say years, I mean years. I want to say I got them around 1988. How I've kept track of them all of this time, I'll never know, but I have. And, although you can't really tell from this angle, my nails are really long. Here's where this comes together...I came across these designs in my thousands of nail things again the other day and though, hmmm, I wonder if my nails would be long enough to actually USE them. To my surprise, they totally were! So I painted a base of Essie "Bikini So Teeny" and went with the surfer girl crashing waves you see here :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Backyard Inspiration

This is a "Rose of Sharon" plant in my backyard. From what I understand, these are a type of hibiscus.

So I decided to do a hibiscus mani.

I used Essie "Play Date", Konad special polish in white, and Bundle Monster plate BM318. Happy Wednesday!

Bikini So Teeny

I was on nail hiatus for the past few days. Not to say that I didn't DO my nails, because....well, that's not true. :) I had scoured town looking for a bottle of Essie "Bikini So Teeny" and everywhere was out. I looked at places online and they were sold out. I think I spent twice as much in gas as I ended up spending on the actual bottle. I ordered it off of Amazon and paid $10 for it. I know I should've just bought it when I saw it and that it was considered a limited edition and all that good stuff. Live and learn, right? So, I had on just crap polish for the past few days, let it chip even....GASP! I was just not in the mood and was in the mind set that I would just be happier when my bottle finally came in. I didn't build myself up, I actually was really happy when it came in and this is the mani I did on the first try! (Usually I get too excited and mess it up and have to do it 12 times to get it right) Well, this is what I came up with :) I used Konad blue stamping polish and Konad plate M56. It looks very Indian to me...like Henna tattoo designs. I'm loving it! (Not a shout out to McDonald's either) Have a great Wednesday!
