This is a paint job I just threw together...

This is a paint job I just threw together kind of at the last minute when my blue flakie started peeling.  It had so many layers that I wasn't quite prepared to take it off and do something fancy, but I knew I had to remove it or I'd end up picking at it and damaging my nails.

So, this happened.  I kind of wanted to see if I would have any better luck photographing my flakie polish, but I didn't really.  Oh well.

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.

So this is what I do when I have no time for doing anything that requires skill:  Slap some stickers down.  I'm not really a Hello Kitty fan at all, but I had these decals for some reason.  Probably a little freebie that came with some other stuff I ordered.  Thought I might as well use them since I have them.

This color was given to me by Nancy sometime last year.  I thought it looked great with the HK decals.  😃

I don't expect these nails to get a whole lot of likes...

I don't expect these nails to get a whole lot of likes, for two reasons: 1) They are not super-creative or fancy, and 2) That is an Atheist "A." I really like the polish, though. It was a super-cheap Wet 'N' Wild, I think, and the color goes from the purple-y you see here to gray to green. So it was totally pretty. I'm thinking about picking up another bottle as back-up because I like it so much. 🙂

Btw, what do you guys think about my gnarly cuticle? Cat (from work) was feeling rather feisty on Tuesday and wouldn't get off my desk without a fight. Crazy thing. 😂😂😂

Printing Shaun's decals for tomorrow

7:47 pm:  Printing Shaun's decals for tomorrow and getting ready to do my nails also.  😃  Found out the hard way today why you shouldn't eat when your mouth is numb.  You might not feel it if you bite yourself then, but you will feel it later!  🙁

11:27 pm:  Got my claws ready for tomorrow!  😃

I do believe this is the first time I've ever worn a red polish.  I have to admit it makes me feel pretty fierce!  If anyone else wants decals I can make you a set.  $3 for 20?  I suck at selling things, but if I want to keep making them I at least need to re-coup my costs on materials.  Inbox me and let me know.  I can mail you some first thing Monday!  🙂
