Peacock Feather

Hey everybody:) Today I have a peacock inspired mani for y'all!
Just a little back round on me, I live in Georgia and out in the country.... I mean like in the middle of no where! So we get a lot of wild life here from deer to wild turkey and yes peacocks. I have never seen the peacock but I sure have heard it, if you don't know what it sounds like do a search and then you will know, they are super loud and the males have a particular call! So yesterday when I was outside in-between the rain showers I heard the peacock and thought what a great idea for a mani:) Did a search for feathers and got to work! This mani did take a while to finish only because I wanted to give some of the polish time to dry.
Here is the peacock inspired mani:)

I really love the look of the dark blue mixed with the teal to give that pop to the mani! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this mani :) 

Happy Polishing Everyone!

I love Christmas Water Marble

Hey everybody:) Today I have for y'all a water marble inspired by Cristina from Let them have Polish! She did and awesome water marble last year that I've been wanting to try forever, so this is my version of her water marble. Click HERE to see her water marble.

Okay for starters I have none of the colors she used, so I had to rummage through my drawers to find the colors I needed. This was the longest day ever... I had to try the colors and then change one for another and so on and so on. So finally after my kids got home from school I found what I wanted to use and these are the pictures of my Christmas Water Marble!

 Okay so what do y'all think?? I love this and I'm going to wear this mani for our family Christmas party and Christmas day!

Happy Polishing Everybody!

Christmas Nail Art

Hey everybody:) Today I have a mani that was inspired by all those old Christmas movies, like Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer, Santa's coming to town, and Frosty the Snowman. I loved watching these movies when I was growing up and luckily this year they have all been on so my family (the kids) can enjoy them :)
Here are the pictures of my mani:)

Oh yeah baby, I ♥ Christmas! So all this is done free hand and with the tree I used nail art tape. These are so cute I can't stand it!
Leave a comment and tell me what you think of this Christmas mani. I think it is one of my favorite mani's this year!

Happy Polishing Everybody!

You Spotted WHAT?????

Hey everybody:) Today I have for you OPI - Just Spotted The Lizard. This polish is from the Spiderman collection, I can't wait for this movie ...looks GOOD! This polish is a dual chrome with gold and green colors, love!!! So dual chromes are just about the hardest to photograph....*sigh*.....but I saw a trick a while ago about  putting you nails in water to take pictures and you will be able to see all the colors, well y'all it worked! Check out these awesome pictures:)

 Oh yeah!!!!! All of these pictures are taken under water, I just used a bowl of water with my photo box and then AWESOME!!!!! A while ago I put up some stuff about my cooking and some of you wrote in to see if I would post a picture of my experimental dinners, well here is one of our favorites. You can click here for the recipe:) YUM!!!

Drunken Chicken Dinner

Well let me know if you love the polish and maybe if you tried the dinner:)

Happy Polishing Everyone!

Nail Art Wednesday....... Hello Kitty and Friends!

Hey everybody:) I have for y'all today Hello Kitty and Friends!!!! Ever since I was little; I'm talking little, I've always loved Hello Kitty ♥. We had a Sanrio store at the mall and every weekend (well almost) we would go, it was just the thing to do.... and my sister and I would stay in the store for an hour or two, mom would always have to come and get us. But anyway the love I have for Hello Kitty and her friends has never went away!
This post is going to look similar to the Black Cat Friday post I did, you can check that out here. I added Hello Kitty, Keroppi, Badtemaru, Pochacco and yes Chococat is still there. I'm so glad I finally got around to doing these for y'all and I just know they are going to bring those great childhood memories back:) Here are the great pictures!

So are you thinking of Hello Kitty memories yet??? This was all done free handed and took a great deal of time... thank goodness I have a pool for the kids to stay busy in!
Let me know what y'all think, which friend is your favorite???

Happy Polishing Everyone!

Butterflies

Hi everyone! today I have for you Orly's Butterflies a very pretty jelly pink. I like this color what I didn't like was the 4 (regular) coats I had to put on to get it to not show the tips of my nails! Next time I will try out a neutral base color to go under it. I originally picked this up for the name but the color is so me and I feel like I could wear her anywhere! So here she is!

I didn't get bored with the color but I wanted to give something a try! So out came O.P.I. Rainbow Connection and on it went...with another coat of Orly Butterflies on top!

I really like the combo of both together and I'm glad I finally got around to trying it out!

Do you have a polish you had to get just because of the name?

Happy Hunger Games Everyone!

Hello everyone and Happy Hunger Games! I am so super excited about this movie its scary:) Okay so if you don't know by now The Hunger Games is a 3 book series by Suzanne Collins that was made into a movie(well the first one so far). This mani was created from the love I have for the books and the excitement I have for the movie.
I first started off by panting my nails with a grey base... I used Spoiled Polish Black Mamba, two good coats. The next thing I had to do was paint flames....READ THE BOOK, or now go watch the movie :) I used Sinful Colors Sugar Sugar, OPI Color So Hot it Berns and Pros & Bronze, Piggy Polish Sunshine Highway, and a touch of Zoya Snow White. So I know that sounds like a lot but remember you are only using a drop of polish:) The next thing that I painted was a bow and arrow... this was pretty straight forward and easy, I used SinFul Colors Nail Art  in Flower Girl. Then I wanted to used the district number some how and just ended up painting it on my pinkie with Wet n Wild Black Cream. Okay for the main artwork ..... the MockingJay pin:) This was the hardest nail to paint, I used Sinful Colors Flower Girl and OPI Pros & Bronze.... and took my time to get the pin just the way I wanted it:)

I hope you enjoy my "Tribute" to The Hunger Games!

I have to say I think my nail art is improving.... this only took me all afternoon to do, lol:) So did any of y'all read the book and if you did what was your favorite part??? I really loved the whole book, and I can't wait to see the movie and how they will bring the book to life:)
I leave you with a quote from the book......
“Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to…to show the Capitol they don’t own me. That I’m more than just a piece in their Games” -Peeta Mellark”  

Happy Hunger Games Everybody!
