Gradient + stamping.

Gradient + stamping.  I like these, but I only have a tiny bottle of white stamping polish and it's drying out - as you can probably tell by the missing specks in my design.  That's a bummer, but I'll buy some more as soon as I'm working more hours.

These are the bizarro, fugly nails I did.

These are the bizarro, fugly nails I did.  I'mma go ahead and admit that I did NOT have any plan when I sat down to do these other than that I wanted to practice my gradient-ing.  😂  So the base is one of my FAVORITE EVER greens.  Then on top of that at the tip I sponged a lighter green glitter, and on top of THAT I sponged the edges a very dark green.  Since that just apparently wasn't enough going on I added the round disc glitter things at the cuticle.

It's like, glamorous Swamp Thing or something.  😂😂😂  They are definitely INTERESTING if nothing else.  And I think that my gradient skillz are coming along.  I just don't know about these.  I look at them and I kind of like them for their weirdness, but on the other hand... ehh... I just don't know about that.  😛

This is currently my left hand.

This is currently my left hand. Since I'm left-handed I break those nails a lot more often (as you can probably tell).

I couldn't decide this weekend whether I wanted to do a water marble or a gradient - so I did both. Who says I have to match? 😂

This is the gradient I did on Saturday.

This is the gradient I did on Saturday. The gradient consists of two different glitters and an extra pink polish. I also stamped on that little flower because one fancy thing is just never enough. 😂

Went to Sally's for the first time in ages.

Went to Sally's for the first time in ages. Wasn't a lot of stuff in there that was impressive to me. 🙁 I saw the China Glaze Hologlam collection and I gotta say - I'm glad I didn't drop the cash on that. I'd planned to buy the entire collection online when it first came out, but I had a lot of other stuff I needed to spend my money on so I was responsible and just didn't. Thank goodness because I would have been EXTREMELY disappointed. $9 per bottle for a supposed holographic polish. Psh. It does have a faint holo thing going on, but not $9 worth.

Not that this will happen anytime in the near future, but when I DO have the spare cash to purchase a holographic polish I'll spend $15 and get something that really knocks my eyes out. If I'm gonna spend that much on a polish it's gonna have to be worth it!

So anyway, I came out of there with a few clearance polishes. I haven't bought anything for myself in a while so I don't feel too bad about it. Got one bottle of something I already have and love (gotta have a back-up of that one - it's a green that you don't see too often!) and some other cheapies that I have nothing like.

Unfortunately, I've already wrecked my Star Trek nails so I'm gonna have to take them off and do something else now. Maybe after I get some things moved around and some cleaning done... 🙂

If you don't know about this then I don't know about you.  LOL

I've wanted to do my nails for days, but I was not inspired.  FINALLY, I had a good idea!  😃  I haven't had a whole lot of time to devote to nails lately, but I made time tonight.

I'm super excited about the new Star Trek movie.  I was really hoping to make the midnight showing later today, but I haven't found anyone to watch Shadow (yeah, lol, watch him sleep!) not to mention that I have to wake up stupidly early for his awards ceremony so it's very likely I would struggle to stay awake if I went.  Also, with the yard work me and Shaun did this weekend it's got his allergies all stirred up so he hasn't been sleeping well.  I guess that's what happens when you get all old and stuff.  😕

For the record I'd still give staying awake a shot if anyone wants to come and watch Netflix or whatever while my kid sleeps.  Just putting that out there!

Anyway, I made a few copies of the decal that is on my thumb, if anyone wants a few.    The rest of the work was taping, which wasn't hard.  I am crazy excited about these nails.  Because I am a dork.  😃

Been wearing these bright yellow nails all week.

Been wearing these bright yellow nails all week.  This happy bright color was given to me by the lovely Shauna.  😃  Thought I'd run with the brightness and put on some bright decals to make it interesting.  These just came from a drug store I'm pretty sure.  But I thought they were cute and super easy.  I should have let my polish dry a little bit longer before putting them on, but that's ok.  I'll know better next time.

Peacock nails!

Peacock nails!  These could have been so much fancier, but I just didn't feel like it.
