I was not even gonna put these up, but Shaun complimented them and told me I should.  (He never compliments my nails!  I usually just get a disinterested "That's cool." - not that I don't understand, since he's a dude.)  LOL  He liked the color, which is a bottom of bright green-y blue (which was wayyy to bright me for me), and a top of very sheer pink-lavender, with a vine thing stamped on top.  I think the color is neat - it reminds me of a mermaid tail.  😃

These are mine tonight...

These are mine tonight... and they actually look a lot better in person. It's feels weird to say it, but they are too shiny! At least, too shiny to be easily photographed. But I do like how the patchwork design came out. I probably should have used a plain black or white for the hearts, but I'll know better next time. I'm still learning!

Happy Birthday, Jeni!

Happy Birthday, Jeni!  Sorry all I could give you was a paint job, but I'm glad that you liked it!  ❤

Ok, I'll probably stop with the nail photos after this unless I happen to do something straight AWESOME. This was my first serious attempt at getting my stamps on nice and neat... apparently, I have issues getting things centered.  Took me a lot longer than I'd like to admit to have these turn out like this. I'm really digging the way these look, though - much more my style than white and lavender. I don't know what I was thinking last time. LOL

Hands-down the BEST nail blog I've found.

Hands-down the BEST nail blog I've found.  For some reason she just abruptly quit in June, so that's sad.  🙁  I hope she's ok.  But she does some beautiful, interesting stuff!  Read back through her archives when you have time!

This is what made me so happy.

This is what made me so happy.  I have a Konad stamping kit that Shaun got me for my birthday. It is SUPER fun.  I can now stamp tiny images on to my nails.  I know that none of this matches each other or go with the colors I have on, but I don't care.  I HAD TO TRY IT OUT!  And sorry my hands look so grody - I was cutting metal before I left work today.

Pardon my scary midget hand.

Pardon my scary midget hand.  I found out last night that it is really hard to photograph your own hand with shiny, metallic nail polish on.  😳  While I'm not digging the frilly girly colors this time I do like how they turned out.  I just kind of wish now that I'd skipped the silver in the swirl - not only was it a pain to get off around the edges, but it doesn't go with the white.  I'll have to remember to match my swirl completely next time.  I think I would like it better.  This is the first time I've swirled my own - I tend to like the zig-zaggy look a little better for me.

Home early from the dentist...

Home early from the dentist - gonna wash some dogs and scoop the yard.  If I'm a good girl and do all of my chores I might change out this very cool shredded look on my nails to a swirly one!  😉

I was a girl tonight and did Janet's nails.

I was a girl tonight and did Janet's nails. I think they turned out pretty nice - this was my first try at water marbling!
