Kitty Cat Love

Happy Hump Day Love Bugs,

How is everyone doing?  I hope groovy!!  I am okay, it's really rainy here, but, I'll take it cuz' it could be snow and I am over snow after our last blizzard, brrrrr.......so, I don't really buy into the whole Valentine's Day thing, I think it's pretty dumb and that you should show the ones you love special love anytime, it's more fun and surprising on just a day, not on some dumb commercialized day because society and consumerism says so, ugh, so, I already told Casey that I don't expect anything on V-day at all and him not to either cuz' of the way I am not into Valentine's Day at all. That being said, I am SO looking forward to this V-Day totally cuz' it's the day that Walking Dead's mid-season premiere comes on and I can't wait!!!  I've been going thru some serious walker withdrawal and am so ready for my Sundays to once again be Happy Dead Day, Yay!!!  Soon, oh, so soon, yay!!!  And even tho' I am not into V-Day I will do a mani or two involving hearts just cuz' I love hearts and I do love all the pinks and reds of the holiday, so, you'll get a heart of two mani between now and Happy Dead Day :) Thinking zombies and love will end up being my V-Dead Day mani, teeee...heeeeee........

But, anyways, now that we got that out of the way I do have a love themed mani to show you today that are kitty cat love nails I did last weekend.  I love these, they came out so cute and that paw print in the heart I cannot express my love for enough.  Every kitty (and dog too) that you have over the years in life most definitely do leave paw prints on your heart of the very best kind possible and my friend, Niki, and I did a pet memorial burnable piece of art one year for our Burning Man regional event that we named "Paw Prints On Your Heart" and it was an amazing piece of art and meant to so much to us and to so many other people that burn, so, paw prints and hearts are my heart.  I plan on doing a blog post on this art piece and nails to go with it in a later post which I will then talk more about the piece then.  I do have a few pics of Paw Prints for you at the end of this post.

For these first nails I used a base of China Glaze "Spring In My Step" then stamped the images using OPI "Lost My Bikini In Molokini" and Messy Mansion Plate MM50 and JR-35 plate.  I then put one coat of China Glaze "Fairy Dust" on top of the stamped nails and a coat of Revlon "Pink Glaze" on the others.

 

 

Spring In My Step on it's own, it's pastel and it's pink so I love it :)

 Then the next mani I did last night I decided I wanted to use some paw prints on too so I did these with a stamping plate for the paw prints and then did some dab brushing too for these.  I love these paw prints so much and I love cute little paws too :)  My base here is Essie "Lapiz of Luxury" and Orly "Push the Limit", Orly "Risky Behaviour" and Orly "Gumdrop" for the dab brushed nails, then I stamped with a no name Kleancolor metallic black (from a mini set I got, so, it may have a name, but, no names on the bottles) and Uber Chic Furry Best Friends plate with one coat of China Glaze "Fairy Dust" on top of the brushed and stamped nails and a Melly Mix on the rest.  To do these brush nails I just dropped some polish on a plate and then dabbed the polishes onto the nail with a nail art brush and cleaned the brush with acetone when I was done.  It's easy and looks cool, I really, really love these nails :)

 

 

Lapiz of Luxury on it's own, it's more lilac than my pics show, but, my camera has a hard time with colors like this, it's pretty.

 Here is a pic of each side of Paw Prints On Your Heart.  I will forever be so proud of this art piece, it was amazing!!!

And, of course here's some kitty pics of my baby girl, Miss Betty, my heart, she's so stinkin' cute, this one is  :)

 

 

That's it, enjoy the rest of your night and I'll talk to you soon!
 
Polish & Purrs,

Melly
