..................well,

Ok, seeing as how I have been sick for the last 2 weeks, my Valentine's Day nail challenge was a huge flop. I only was able to do a few designs which I wasn't all too thrilled with.

As a side note-I have been thinking about this blog, the time I put in to it and what I get out of it are not the same. Yes, I enjoy doing my nails and showing them off, but I don't get any feedback on my work. I hoped to get some emails or questions or even a request or two for tutorials or advice.  So I am pretty sure this will be my last official post. I may continue to use this as an outlet for my designs, but not as in depth as in the past.

If  I get some input-- more than Facebook likes, I may continue as before. However, that is rather unlikely.

*Take care*

January Nails



Here some rather random nail designs for December/January. My tablet that I use for both pictures and writing my blog died on me on New Year's eve so I had to take pictures with my phone and upload them, so I apologize for the bad quality.





Simple glitter tips....for New Year's Eve


Blue and pink stripe

Purple ombre
Birthday nails.... creme polish with a coat of polka dots

Pink ombre, not sure why the middle finger is so orange, it was more of a coral color
This picture shows what happens when you use old top coat. See the color change on the thumb nail--- bleck!!!



Ultra blue and polka dots..... can you tell I love this top coat?
Pink and purple

Christmas nail art

Some pretty self- explanatory nail designs. I found a red,green and silver multi-hex glitter that I used a lot this season. I have had a very busy few weeks and haven't got too many designs done.  I'll keep doing as many as I possibly can. Work is very hard on my nails and sometimes I don't have any nails left to paint.
I did get over 20 new colors for a Christmas gift (thanks Cyn),they are mostly OPI brand which is quite awesome because I don't have many of those. I don't usually spend a lot of money on my polishes. I have a few pricier ones($5 or more) but  I won't pay much more than $5 per bottle.

November Pet Nails...

Sorry for the late post- the holidays get the best of me, I run out of time. Here are my few designs for Pet Cancer awareness month. I hope you like them : )
Hailey's (aka Bop) nail designs. She is our soon-to-be, 11 year old Shih Tzu. She is a rather prissy girl when she wants to be, hence the pink and plaid.
This design is for my Pug, Hannah "Nan". She is a sweet girl, who is pretty much my shadow. A few years ago, Nan had a mass for on her side. We had it tested and luckily it was benign, however it had to be removed. She is doing just fine now.
A simple design for the cats-- we do have 3 but I liked these two so much- I figured to just leave it at that.

November Nails

Hi guys, 
 This is just a quick post about what to look for this month....

  I usually don't do posts like this, but it's for a good cause. November is "Pet Cancer Awareness Month," most of my manicures will have to do with my pets. This is important to me because, about  2 years ago our Pug had a large lump quickly appear on her side. The main concern was that it was cancerous. Luckily, it was not but we had it removed anyhow. I know of many dogs and their families, that have been affected by cancer and it is a sad and heartbreaking thing to go through. 

For many of us our pets are like our children and we need to take care of them as such. 
Thanks for listening! :)
