Nouveau Vintage

Hey Everyone!! The germs and I decided we MUST post for you today. I am waiting for dinner which is taking FOREVER. 

Normally I HATE showing you crappy pictures of nails that aren't really cleaned up and such. Today though I am purposely showing you my non cleaned up mani though. I had to go from work to my son's book fair at school. My dumb butt took off Artsy Crafty today at work but didn't put anything else on. I intended to but never did. I could NOT go to the book fair with crypt keeper nails so I HAD to put something on to hide the awful yellow tinge. 

I did this mani in the car. It is not awesome but considering I did it in the car I am ok with that. I LOVE the color though.


Color Club Nouveau Vintage from the Boho Collection. THIS is the one I mostly wanted from the set and it did not disappoint. It is gorgeous. 


Some nails were three coats because I messed up a bit. The color is awesome and shiny and just wow.


My right hand had a lot of issues. I dinged it on a couple of things both before and during the book fair. Oops. At least it is better than crypt keeper yellow.


This color screams Fall to me.

Now a quick picture of my crochet project. I was inspired and decided I wanted to make a hat. Don't ask. I don't know much about crochet and you can tell lol 


I had done all this and brought it to work this morning and the lady at work was like NO it is WRONG. I had to redo it. It also wasn't a circle really, you can see one side is more pointy. oops. lol


That was my sort of circle after unraveling it to start over. It hurt. I did so much. Oh well. My son says to me WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT? YOU AREN'T OLD! I want a hat, duh! I worked on it today and I am not sure yet but so far it is a circle and hopefully turning into a hat soon. lol

That's all for now :)

  1. The lady at work needs to be more supportive and think creatively--so maybe it wasn't 100% right but I've yet to knit anything perfect and most of it's been wearable.
