Syracuse Nails and Lots of Bruce

Hey Everyone! I have no idea what happened last night. I got caught up watching tv I guess and totally forgot to blog. I was also trying to find the perfect colors for today's mani. Feel free to smack me with a shoe. I do have lots of pictures for you tonight to make up for my total airheadedness. 


Bruce Kittlee Master Ninja Warrior has a new shirt. It is Spiderman and says I do my own stunts. It is perfect for him. 


These are my egg people. They were staring at the bf and he kept turning them around. They are cute, I keep wanting to talk to them. You can see some of the polish magnets I made stuck on the Helmer below them.


It is March Madness. The bf is a HUGE Syracuse fan. They are playing tonight. I HAD to do a Syracuse mani for the tournament. This was my first attempt. 


I contacted the awesome Lori at LuckyStarStyle and had her make me these awesome little Syracuse decals. I should have done them over white but  thought it would be ok over the orange. It doesn't look too bad but next time I am going to do it over white. 


I used two coats of OPI A Roll in the Hague from their Spring Holland Collection and a strip of Orly Royal Navy on the corners. 


I very rarely have issues with formula, especially from OPI, but this one gave me TROUBLE! It was THICK and didn't even out and was streaky. I thinned it for the second coat of the last two nails but didn't notice much improvement. When Syracuse plays their next game I will use it again and see if thinning it helped any. I really hope so because I love the color.


It is a super bright awesome orange color and I thought it was the perfect color. LOVE the color! 


Royal Navy came out way dark when I put it over the orange. It is pretty close to the color on my shirt now that I look at it but I was worried it was going to be too dark. Then again, we live in South Florida so no one really even knows the Syracuse colors to begin with.


I have some awesome Bruce pictures for you. Here he is attacking my crochet projects while resting on the laptop. He likes to be around the laptop. I think he waits for important mail from his friend Baron.


When we were doing the great organization of 2012 I had a bunch of boxes on the floor. Bruce liked this one a lot.


He played in there for quite awhile.


It was funny because most of the time he was all the way in the box and all you could see was the tip of his nose.


Such a silly cat.


He also likes to peek around the wall in the hallway. 

That's all for now :)

  2. I love the eggs! I would love an army of eggs too. I also really, really love the Bruce is often wearing a t-shirt. I'm fairly certain if I tried to put a shirt on any of my cats they would kill me dead.

    1. Thanks! Can't you just see them all lined up in formation staring at you with their little smiles? Hmmm I am actually thinking of making more now. I need more eyes though lol.

      Bruce almost always wears a tshirt, it keeps him calm. He mostly doesn't mind it lol. I think most people's cats would probably not tolerate it but I don't think Bruce knows he is a cat lol.

  3. Bruce is styling in his new t-shirt. :D What is it with cats and boxes? Marley loves a good box. Goofy cat will jump in there and take a dive straight back into kittenhood. :D

    1. Bruce says thank you! :) Yeah, cats and boxes are cheap entertainment! Honestly though if there was a box big enough for me to mostly hide in I would probably play in it too lol. There is something about boxes...

    1. Aren't they? I just want to have a conversation with them! I tried to get more eyes this morning but Walmart doesn't have any. IF I can get more I am making more Egg people lol. They crack me up.

      Brucie sends kisses! :)

  5. I love that Spiderman shirt on Bruce! And him all squeezed in the box. My cats do not care for boxes. It makes me sad.

    1. I think the Spiderman shirt is my favorite! He is so funny with it on.

      Aww they don't like boxes? I guess they just proved the all cats like boxes statement wrong lol.

  6. I laughed so hard at the Bruce pictures! Every time I see your posts I think of getting a cat. But then I think my dog will be so jealous!
    I love the color combo on the mani! I've heard that the Holland collection has a lot of issues with formula. I don't buy a lot of OPI's so I didn't get any.

    1. yeah, Bruce pictures are always funny. He likes to make faces and be weird. Awww but your dog would have a little friend to play with if you got a cat. And the cat would have a dog to torment lol.
      I hope the other Holland polishes I got don't have the same issues. I thinned the beast to do this mani Saturday and while better it still wasn't great. I used to LOVE OPI but now I am finding other brands are just as good if not better.

  7. So much Bruce--I love it! I wouldn't have guessed that blue was Royal Navy--very interesting how dark it got.

    P.S. your word verification seems to be back on again.

    1. Bruce is funny, he provides so many photo ops lol. Royal Navy got so dark it was crazy. I didn't expect it to be that dark but it worked thank goodness. lol

      I think I fixed word verification. Hopefully it stays off this time :) Thanks for letting me know. :)
