Brunch nails

This past weekend I hosted a Pampered Chef party(if you don't know what that is I'll link it at the bottom of this post). Anyway it was a brunch and I had all these breakfast type foods fixed to eat. So I wanted to look a little "festive" so I thought what better way to look festive at a brunch was to paint my nails with different foods, breakfast foods to be specific LOL.

Now I almost didn't do this post cause I'm not thrilled with how they turned out, but like I said about this blog, none of these nail art post will be perfect yet so I would be going against the idea of this blog if I didn't post these pictures.

 On my pinky is a cup of coffee(the white is steam) ring finger is eggs(the only one that came out "perfect"), middle finger is cereal(fruit loops to be specific lol) index finger pancakes(the yellow is a pat of butter LOL and I got a little heavy handed on the black to represent a stack of pancakes), thumb is toast(again the yellow is butter----a little too much butter although Paula Deen would approve :-D). I didn't exactly had the absolute right colors for the toast and pancakes(who would guess I didn't have the right brown as many polishes as I have! haha!!!!!) but I thought two shades of beige might cover it. Oh well I may redo this art again one day when I have the right browns and get better at nail art.

 

So feel free to tell me what you think. What browns would you suggest for all you nail polish addicts out there?

 

By the way look for my Halloween nail art soon. I just thought I'd catch up with these first. Hopefully my Halloween nails will be a little better than these:-D

Nail Polish Organizer

I've been dieing to share this with ya'll since I discovered it a while back.If you are like me you must have tons and tons of nail polish right?? Well if you are also like me you keep getting more right? Sometimes duplicates? Well If you have an IPhone you can solve your organizing problem with the Nail Polish Book.
                        
                            Here is what it looks like

All you have to do is type in info about the polish, name, brand,shade,and collection name. Obviously you can take pictures of it as well.

Then say you are out somewhere getting more polish(what else would you be getting right?? lol) and you come across a polish you think you may have but you aren't sure all you have to do is a search and if it comes up then you have it. Also it helps if you don't want more of the same shade.

 

 

On Itunes it's free Here is the link to it https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nail-polish-book/id536885449?mt=8

I hope it's as useful to you as it has been for me.

Breast Cancer Awareness month

Everyone knows that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month,

I've been meaning to do my nails in honor of this month but I hadn't had the chance  til today. I still need to get better at a couple of things like getting all the way to the opposite side of where I can fully see on the nail(you'll see what I mean on the thumb) and also getting rid of access polish off my skin around the nail. I'm scared to go anywhere near it cause I'm scared it's going to take off the polish on my nail that I just did! But it's a work in progress. I think I did pretty good if I say so myself! LOL

Here are pictures of the polishes I used in case you want to do this yourselves

                                  Sally Hansen Insta Dri-
                                           Flashy Fuchsia
                                                     &
                                  Sally Hansen Xtreme wear-                                           BubbleGum Pink                

                                            Here are my nails
 
I may do some more Breast Cancer Awareness nail art. I also want to do some Halloween art too. Keep an eye out for it.

See ya later!!

Howdy!!

As my first blog post I suppose I should tell you why I'm doing this and how I got the idea and name for the blog.

One day as I was purchasing my what seemed like my 1000th nail polish online I was wondering what I was going to do with this obsession. I know I'm going to use these polishes eventually. But they may just sit here for weeks, months or in a couple of polishes cases...years. I mostly just go to a professional and get my nails done and sometimes since I have so many I take my own polish, but most times I don't.
I buy these polishes with the intent of doing my own nails but I hardly ever get motivated to do it.
So I've been looking at different nail design blogs(I'll post my favorites later) trying to get some inspiration. I got the idea to do some designs. So I don't lose the motivation to do my own nails I thought I'd do a blog documenting the different designs from time to time. Also I may take pictures of any purchases I make. Maybe post a link or two pertaining to nails. Basically this will be and all nails blog!
I also want to thank my friend Amy for the name idea. I love it because it's about nails and it makes it sound like I'm getting the hang of doing my own nails which is my goal. So thanks Amy!!

So I hope you all have fun reading my blog and maybe get an idea or two. Feel free to leave a comment(good and bad although I'd prefer good;-)).
