Butterflies and Rainbows

I am doing a double post here today because I wanted to share the last couple of manicures that I have done...

The first one is "Butterflies". .. Megan is a former girlfriend of my son but because she became such a big part of our family during their relationship we just couldn't let her go(and luckily her and my son remain friends).  Megan is such a wonderful girl and I consider her the daughter I was never able to have, I am blessed to have her apart of my life....So when she needed her nails done for the prom it was a no brainer! The picture doesn't do it justice I believe and it was worth it just to see her eyes light up at the finished product.


Megan had a great time at the Prom, and of course had the best nails there(if I do say so myself)... :)

Number two.... Rainbows

I was scanning the YouTube videos and found soo many tutorials with Neon colors...I just purchased a TON of nail polish in my last trip to the States so I thought I would take the Neon's out for a spin but I knew I didn't want to wear them bare(I am not quite that brave) so I saw a tutorial that looked cool but I had no Scotch Tape so I thought I would just "fly by the seat of my pants" and see where it took me, and .. SUCCESS!!!!

I am VERY happy with this one.....and I even managed to get the lines pretty darn straight. I am on several different medications and one of them tends to make my hands shake pretty bad but tonight the nail polish gods smiled down on me.



The picture doesn't show it real well but all my neons are irridescent and pick up the light!!! I am soo happy with this!!

Hope you like this and feel free to comment or make a request!

Talk to you soon!

You are my sunshine....

Hi there....been a long time since my last post and I apologize it seems that life manages to get in the way of all the fun stuff I like to do...anyways I am here now and have lots to share in the coming weeks. We took our family vacation this year and went to Florida, I believe I could live there as the weather, people everything just agrees with me. Most of all is the shopping!!! I spent a day and did some hardcore shopping. Luckily I had my boys with me for all the heavy lifting and trust me they did some lifting...LOL  .. I found some really pretty tops but the BEST find of all was my nail polish haul!! I went crazy over Sinful Colors, China Glaze, Finger Paints and splurged on some mini packages at Sephora, all of these I will be using in the coming days, weeks so stay tuned....As a matter of fact I used my new sinful colors in this manicure.

This was just a quick pick me up and reminded me of the beautiful Florida sunshine that I am missing so very much these days with all the rain and cloudy skies we have been subjected too.


This is a pretty simple design. Just stripes of nailpolish and needle dragging to get the desired effect. Sometimes the simplest designs turn out so very pretty.



Let me know what you think....

Many of my friends and loved ones(some strangers) have asked if I would do their nails and are encouraging me to start my own business of doing nails......I am in the process of setting this up for myself(eeek) So I will be updating you on how that is working out for me, I have a full-time job and a family to take care of so fitting in a side job may be difficult but I love a challenge(LOL) <--scared laugh.... :)

Take care and talk to you soon!
