Hope you are all having a great weekend. Mine is alright, still a bit grrrrr..... at that cliffhanger that Walking Dead gave us last Sunday night tho'. I really wish they would have let us know who got the bat from Negan, grrrrrrr.......now have to wait until October to find out, dammit. It was a pretty good finale still tho' I thought. Now, however, my brain is going to spring/summer nice weather and our Burning Man regional to plan for in May, so, for me I got other stuff to focus on now going forward, LOL :)
Been fighting and struggling with seasonal allergies so bad too this year, the season seemed to have started a bit earlier than normal and I'll tell you, some days I have been just miserable with this allergy crap, it sucks. Going to be looking into trying some more natural remedies for allergies soon to try to get away from having to take so many drugs to get some relief. Allergy season sure is a bitch and I don't know about you, but, it also wears me out and makes me feel so sleepy, ugh!!!
Today I have a slew of nails I've done the last several weeks. I like doing my nail spam posts like this and hope you do too and you enjoy all these manis I've done.
My base here is Orly "Vintage" and for the drag nails I used China Glaze "Lotus Begin", OPI "Got Myself Into A Jam-balaya", China Glaze "Glow With The Flow" and China Glaze "Cons-Ulta My Manicurist". I then put a coat of China Glaze "Fairy Dust" on my accent nails and one coat of Fair Maiden "Glory of the Galaxy" on the rest. To do these nails I put small dots of all the polishes I wanted to use on the nail then took a toothpick and dragged and swirled the colors around. I like this look, it was easy, but, be careful not to go too far down when dragging or you will end up scraping off some of the base color. Will def. be trying this look again. These look pretty cool I think.

| Vintage by itself, this one is really pretty and bright. I love it, this was from Orly's spring collection out now. |
 |
| Shade On by itself, it's a bit lighter than my pic is showing it as and these have it a bit more blue too. |
 |
| Hip & Outlandish on it's own. This is a really pretty teal shade too that did not stain, yay! |
I did a base for these nails of Orly "Scenic Route" (from their new summer collection and I love this color so much, it's so pretty), then I sponged on Orly "Put The Top Down", China Glaze "I'll Pink To That" and OPI "Got Myself Into A Jam-balaya" on my index and ring nails. I used nail decals on my middle finger, did the glitter accent on my pinky with Spellbound Nails "Pearls & Pastels" and then did a coat of China Glaze "Fairy Dust" on my sponged and decal nails and a coat of LA Girl "Razzy Raspberry" on my thumb. I love sponge nails so much, they are so, so easy to do and the end result is always really pretty in my opinion :)

| Scenic Route on it's own. I love, love, love this shade so much, it was so bright and pretty when I had it on . |
The base I used here is China Glaze "Whip It Good", a new one I just got from their Summer collection out now. I did random dots on my indes and ring nails using OPI "Suzi Nails New Orleans", OPI "Rich Girls & Po' Boys" and China Glaze "Lime After Lime", then took a little square of a cut up baggie, laid it on top of the nail and just smooshed it down on each nail to get this effect. Use a new piece of baggie for each nail. I stamped my middle finger using a Kleancolor blue metallic no name mini polish and Winstonia plate W203. I then put one coat of two different "Melly Mixes" on all nails and was done. I LOVE smooshy nails, they always come out so flippin' cool looking. These are definitely some of my favorite smooshes to date that I've done.
