Happy last day of the year friends. So, we are at another close of another year. I hope that this past year was good for you. My year was relatively good for the most part. 2017 was not a bad year for me at all. Losing my old kitty, Buster, was the hardest for me and a couple of old cats at my Mom and sisters was hard too, but other than that it was not a bad year for me overall and it was a year with a good bit of fun and happy in it, so, even with the kitty deaths that were sad it was a decent year. I have my health, a roof over my head, my job, a wonderful boyfriend, my Mom still with me, my cats, good friends and family and for all of that I am thankful and feel blessed for every single day. Here's to a good and happy 2018 to come.
Casey and I have no plans for tonight. We are staying in and hanging with each other and the kitties and we are so okay with that. I'll be watching Breaking Bad too, but, of course! I do have the entire series on DVD, but since I am a loser, I'll so be watching the marathon also :) It's too damn cold out to want to go do anything anyways, plus it's super hard for me to stay up late now days so who knows if I'll even make it to midnight tonight, lol. I am old, what can I say :)
For today's nails I don't have any kind of New Year nails. I decided instead to do some of one of my favorite TV shows of all time ever for the 10 year anniversary marathon beginning today on AMC. That show would be Breaking Bad. I love BB as much as I do The Walking Dead. It's a brilliantly done show in my opinion so BB nails it is for today. If you have never watched it, I recommend you do, this gist of it is a high school chemistry teacher named Walter White learns he has lung cancer, breaks bad and turns to cooking meth for money for his family. There's lots of good characters on it, Jesse Pinkman is my fave character on the show that becomes Walt's partner and he says "bitch" a lot on the show and I had to show some Jesse love on my nails for today so that is why there is a "bitch" on my thumb. The "say my name" comes from when Walt becomes his drug persona "Heisenberg" and says that later in the series to another drug guy. The blue glitter represents the blue colored meth that Walt and Jesse cook that becomes famous in the show.
Anywasy, onto the nails. My base was Essie "Ruffles & Feathers" (the green) and Orly "Snowcone" (the blue). I then diluted China Glaze "Def Defying" with some acetone and used a nail brush to create the smoke effect. I stamped using Funky Fingers "Gesso" with MoYou London "Scholar Collection -03" plate. The blue glitter is Sally Hansen Gem Crush "Bling-tastic". I then put a coat of Ma-Nish-Ma "Beyond Opal" on my index and pinky nails to finish.

Enjoy your New Year's Eve, be safe and have fun. Tomorrow Casey and I will be going to our friends, Nick and Leah's, for pork and sauerkraut which is supposed to bring you luck in the New Year. Casey made the sauerkraut himself and I'm looking forward to good food with good friends, yay :)
I have a good feel good for going into the New Year:
"Never, never, never give up."
Love it!!!
I leave you with myself, Dino and Miss Betty snuggling one day last weekend. There's just nothing like cuddling with kitties :)
Talk to you all soon and Happy New Year!
Polish & Purrs,
