As Requested...

Today I have a great mani to show you. Last week I posted about ArtDeco #236 Deep Aqua and showed the picture below where it stands next to Golden Rose Scale Effects #13. I had initially planned on doing another post with these two layered but then thought it would look pretty layered over P2 Jetset. Deep Aqua chipped before I had a chance to layer it so I decided to just use Jetset with it. I went back to the original plan when I had a request for these two to be layered. I am so thrilled that I did because WOW they are gorgeous together.

Golden Rose #13 is on the left and ArtDeco #236 Deep Aqua is on the right.

I used two coats of Deep Aqua and decided I must do an accent nail to show the Golden Rose polish on it's own. I don't know if anyone uses flakies on their own but if there is someone out there that does this will show you what to expect. It looked a little funny not to mention that I can see the yellow stains of my nails so I decided to do a funky french tip with Deep Aqua to tie it together.

I used one coat of the Golden Rose #13 over Deep Aqua and the ring finger is two coats.

The flakies are gorgeous and I really wish I had my mom's camera to get better pictures of this mani. I can not capture all the gorgeous that these flakies show.

I think it would look really cool if I put a matte coat on there too.

These two colors make such a pretty combination and when you look real close and the flakies show their green it looks very sea like.

I love the funky french look and maybe when I get the staining of my nails under control I will try a cool funky french with it.

I must say this mani held up pretty well too. The bf called me mid afternoon because he got a flat and his car doesn't have a jack. I ran out to rescue him and helped change the tire and my mani was in tact afterward. Pretty impressive :)

I had to add this picture in for cuteness. It looks like the little bugger is posing. I am a little worried about him because he seems to be having a little bit of his urination issues again. We called the vet's office today and he wasn't there but the girl said as long as he is urinating he is ok but to call back in the morning to talk to the doctor in case he needs to be seen. Hopefully we can figure out something to stop this from happening. The poor thing made me want to cry last night when he was whimpering and screaming and had the sad look in his eyes. I am going to have to pick a cheery mani for tomorrow to keep me sane. Between the kitten and my son's grades they are going to drive me nuts!

That's all for now :)

Box Full o Fun and Kitty Update

I have been waiting to share the pictures of my big box of fun! My dear friend Silke sent me this awesome package and I have been dying to share it. It is so awesome I had no idea where to even start. THANK YOU SILKE! It was in part a housewarming box for my new blog. She is awesome! There was also some chocolate and Stroopwafels (the best thing ever) involved but I didn't include those pictures in this post, I will add them to another one though.

My eyes bugged out and my jaw dropped when I opened the box! Look at all the beauties.

The Sally Hansen Insta Dri I was trying as a top coat and some how jumped into the box when I was moving it.

Essence Blossoms in I Like, A Hint of Mint, Bloom-A-Loom, My Yellow Fellow and Forget-Me-Not.

Essence Can't Cheat on Me, Where is the Party, Mystic Mermaid, Cool and the Gang and You're a Gold Mine.

Catherine Arley 803,806, 676 and 667.

Teeez Outta Control and Cool.

Catrice Pool Party at Night and Miracle Heaven.

P2 Crackling in Golden Rush and Silver Blast.

P2 in Jetset, Electric and Rebel.

Golden Rose 13 (I think) and ArtDeco 236.

I found nail tips on clearance at Sally's for $1.49 so I bought a couple boxes and some sticks to make swatchscicles. So far I have gotten as far as this box lol. I glued a hundred of them though so I am ready to swatch some more soon.

My Easter rainbow cupcakes. They were yummy.

And little kitty! He went to the doctor and is about 3 weeks old. His eyes are really blue but the color didn't show up in the pictures. He had worms but not a flea on him. We tried giving him kitten formula but he refused to eat. Opened a can of cat food and the boy chowed down. He is teeny tiny but the doc says he is really healthy and lucky.

So the plan now is to go through the box of goodies! I am going to start with the Blossoms because it is Springy and Eastery and well because I say so lol. I haven't really planned past that though lol. We are going to Disney next weekend so I am thinking maybe a holo for that :) Not sure yet. I will figure it out, I should probably worry about the hotel and rental car first though lol. Oh yeah and the stupid dentist.

That's all for now :)
