An Oldie...(Pink Wednesday!)

Hey there. Today I mailed my first international package!!! I hope Ms. Crumpet loves the contents, and that it arrives safely! I threw in a special surprise ;) 

A couple months back, My husband and I went to Busch Gardens alone, My mom had taken all four kids for the night, this was the first time she had taken Handsome (littlest), and he was teething and snotty, so I expected it to be rough on her, well he did excellent! I was impressed, he's a pretty easy going baby, but he teeths HARD! They even kept them for two nights instead! I'll tell you, it was pretty awesome, not having to worry about waking up, making breakfast, cleaning up poop, wiping butts, feeding kids, picking up after them.... "Mom, can you come get them again soon!"

Well, that kind of got off topic...anyways, I wore China Glaze 108 Degree's, one of my Bestie's favorites! It was BRIGHT! Hubby said I should tip it with black and then white...I tried it, it was ok...and this is a really crappy photo or two....and the white was free hand, the black I taped off.

I am not even enlarging them, because they are ugly!

Don't forget my 100 Follower give -away ends tonight at midnight, eastern time, all entries after that time will be deleted.

Happy Hump Day!

I decided to skip the 'metallic' challenge, I am not into that look....
So here is the next challenge, A french Manicure. I did this one a couple weeks ago, free hand, I was pretty impressed with the results.
I used Orly Fifty Four, and a white that came with a french manicure set by KISS.

And then the little princess wanted a mani too. I used two Sinful Color's on her.

Alrighty, I'll play Pink Wednesday again...

Here is a Mani I did a couple days ago. It is Pure Ice Coral Reef and Pure Ice Strapless on the tips with a blue fimo flower. I loved this, it was so girly and cute, made me feel younger, lol.

I then painted my Friends nails, and did some testing on my nails on top of this see below...

Black Creme by wet n wild, with techno by CG on index finger, Fairy dust by CG on middle finger, and Pure Ice's Oh Baby! on my pinky, and SH crackle in silver on my thumb....

Butterfly Sparkles

I was looking through pictures online looking for inspiration, and found the monarch butterfly nails. They are very pretty! There was one on the MAU board with a very pretty blue color. I didn't want to do all of my nails, as I thought it might be a bit overpowering. I also liked Collette's french tip swirl drag mani, she has up on her blog, so I combined them. I used China Glaze Fairy Dust for a base, and swirl the tips with Sally Hansen's White On and Black Out. It isn't exactly like hers, I think hers are prettier swirls...this was my first time. Then on each of my ring fingers I did a base of Sinful Colors Hazard, then used the SH Black Out and White On to create the wing. I think I did a pretty good job!
Although my pictures aren't the best Maybe I will try to take some better ones later today while I am at the beach, we're heading there this afternoon to have some fun splashing around and to watch the sunset, hopefully the weather cooperates! We are having a very laid back weekend, How about you guys?

Pink Wednesday the Fifth!

Well Today I am very very subtle at wearing pink. Its very feminine, dainty, etc....so not me, lol....
The base I used was Orly's Fifty Four, its a very sheer clear with the tiniest hint of pink, with specks of pinks that need to hit the light just right to see them. I used 4-5 coats I believe of it. Then I tipped it off with Wet N' Wild's 431D, its a very light slightly shimmery pink-very neutral. Of course with a top coat of Seche Vite to finish it off.

Here it is: My middle finger's tip got messed up while making up a bed, and th Seche vite created a bit of drag on my middle and pointer, but oh well, I was being impatient.

Is this to your liking or not for you? I'm kinda in the middle, very classy but yet not my style, I should have gone with a brighter pink for the tips....Live and Learn I guess.

Pink Wednesday....again...

So Originally I thought I wasn't going to have time to do my nails, But I found time between vacuuming and dusting, lol.
So here is my FIRST Pink Wednesday Post.
I used my Elf that I got from Big Lots. Its a pretty color and it went on farely well, a little gooey, but manageable if you can do it fast...
It has a slight peachy undertone, which is nice...
I will wear it again.
