Daisy, Daisy, Daisies

Happy Monday Loves,

I am off work today since it's the Memorial Day holiday in America.  Remembrance today to all those who have served in our military to keep us all safe here in the USA.  I do love these three day weekends.  Saturday Casey, myself and two of our friends went to my Mom's and did a ton of outside work out there.  We put hay away, mowed, weed whacked and burnt down an old dilapidated shed.  We were out there all day and let me tell you I was so tired and sore after we got done. Our friends, Danielle and Rich, who helped us at Mom's also came over for dinner that night and it was nice hanging out with them.  Yesterday was the last day I had some cats to take care of after watching them for a week.  I did a bit of cleaning also yesterday.  Today I did my nails and am pretty much being lazy now until we go to Casey's parent's later on for a cookout.

I did some daisies today on my nails.  I think these came out super cute even if a couple do kinda look more like carnations than daises, lol.  Hope you like them too :)

The light blue is China Glaze "Water-falling In Love" and the darker blue is China Glaze "Flyin' High" as my bases.  I used a nail art brush and a dotting tool with OPI "Alpine Snow", China Glaze "Emerald Bae" and China Glaze "Daisy Know My Name?" for the flowers. The glitter is China Glaze "Make A Spectacle" on the others.




Water-falling In Love and Flyin' High on their own. 
That's it for the nails for today!  Here's a really good feel good for the day:

"Stand tall - be proud of you!"

Love this one!!!!!!

Have a great day, I'll talk to you soon!  I leave you with today, not, gasp, kitties, but rabbits.  These are the retired female breeding rabbits Casey has that are now living their lives out since he no longer breeds them.  They have it good and are pretty happy.  We also have his old breeding male but he was in his cage when these were taken since he can't be with the girls any longer, lol :) Here are the girls enjoying cabbage leaves, they are really cute little bunnies :) They don't have names, they are just "the girls".




Polish & Purrs,

It's Nails & More Nails

Happy Caturday/Saturday my loves,

It's a three day weekend, yay.  I am off work on Monday for the Memorial Day holiday and am so looking forward to doing nothing on Monday.  I've been cat sitting since last Sunday, twice a day visits thru tomorrow night, so I've been busy this week.  Today Casey, myself and a couple friends are going to my Mom's to do a crap ton of yard work, tomorrow I am cleaning and cat sitting, so it's a busy two days coming up.  Can't wait to be lazy on Monday, hang with the cats and Casey, do my nails and watch movies! 

Today I have a bunch of nails that I've done over many months and was saving for a big nail spam post, so here you go, LOTS of nails :)

Here the base is China Glaze "Sweet As Pinkie Pie".  The glitter is Color Club "My Generation".  I then put a coat of Sally Hansen Salon Manicure "Let's Get Digital" on the others.



Sweet As Pinkie Pie on it's own. 
My base here is China Glaze "That'll Peach You" and then I put a coat of Starlight Polish "Din" in them all to finish.


That'll Peach You by itself.
Here is Essie "Nice Is Nice" all on it's own, nothing else but top coat.

My base here was China Glaze "Cutie Marks the Spot" then one coat of China Glaze "Hay Girl Hay!" on top.


Cutie Marks the Spot on it's own, this one is really pretty! 
Here is China Glaze "Too Busy Being Awesome" all by itself on it's very own. I wore by itself this time which I very rarely ever do, no glitter, no stamping, no nail art. Boring, but pretty :)



Here I did a base of Orly "For the First Time" and then one coat of Starlight Polish "Starlight" holo top coat on all nails.


For the First Time by itself, LOVE this color. 
Here is OPI "Suzi-The First Lady of Nails" as my base. The glitter accent is Color Club "Gingerbread".  I put a coat of Orly "Prisma Gloss Gold" on the rest to finish.



The First Lady Of Nails on it's own, this is a super pretty green I think! 
My base here is Essie "Winning Streak". The glitter on my middle and ring nails is Morgan Taylor "Make A Statement". I then put a coat of Sally Hansen Salon Manicure "Take The Leap" on the rest to finish.


Winning Streak on it's own. 
My base is OPI "Kiss Me On My Tulips". I stamped using Orly "Platinum Blush" and Uber Chic "5-02" and 5-03" plates.  I then put a coat of China Glaze "Fairy Dust" on top of the stamped nails.  To finish I put one coat of Kleancolor "Stardust" on the rest.



Kiss Me On My Tulips, love this shade of pink. 
I used two bases here, the darker pink is China Glaze "Pretty Fit" and the lighter pink is China Glaze "Low-Maintenance".  The glitter is Finger Paints "Feeling Bamboozled" and on the rest I put a coat of China Glaze "Travel In Colour".



Pretty Fit and Low-Maintenance on their own, I think these look really pretty together. 
Here my base is China Glaze "Urban-Night".  I then stamped using ILNP "Mega" and Uber Chic Plate 5-02. I then put a coat of ILNP "Moonstone" on my thumbs and pinkies.  The glitter on my middle nail is Finger Paints "Colorful Collage".

Here I did two bases, the dark is OPI "Funky Dunkey" and the light is Orly "November Fog".  I stamped using Uber Chic Texture-licious plate and China Glaze "No Peeking!" and China Glaze "Harmony".  I put a coat of Kleancolor "Galactic" on my pinky and thumb nails and the glitter is Milani "Lavender Fizz" on my middle nails.


Funky Dunkey and November Fog on their own. 
I did three bases here, the dusty blue on my thumbs and pinkies is Essie "Anchor Down", the tealy  on my ring and index is Essie "Stripes & Sails" and the light blue on my middle is China Glaze "What a Pansy".  The glitter on my middle nails is Icing "Lemme See Your Peacock" and on all the rest is a "Melly Mix".


Anchor Down, Stripes & Sails and What A Pansy by themselves, these all look really pretty together too me thinks. 
Here the darker base is China Glaze "I Brake For Colour" and the lighter on my ring and middle nails is China Glaze "Athlete Chic". I stamped using a no name L.A. Colors polish with Uber Chic "Unicorn Love" and Bundle Monster "BM-XL214" plates.  The glitter is a no name one too I got at a local beauty supply store and on the rest is ILNP "Raven".



I Brake For Colour and Athletic Chic on their own, pretty much dupes of each other. 
I did four bases here, the green is Color Club "We Liming", the blue is Sally Hansen X-treme Wear "Pacific Blue" (a cult classic polish now, lol), yellow is Orly "Glowstick" and the orange is Sally Hansen X-treme Wear "Sun Kissed". I stamped using Sinful Colors "Black on Black" with Lina Feeling Shapely 04 and 07 plates  The glitter on the green is L.A. Colors "Sassy Sparkle".


We Liming, Pacific Blue, Glowstick and Sunkissed on their own. 
There you have my slew of nail spam.  Hope you enjoyed all these nails.  Have a great Saturday and I'll talk to you all soon, soon, I promise :)  I leave you with Buster (RIP buddy) and Miss Betty.  Betty and I both miss that old cat a lot, Betty and Buster were really close friends.  Buster would clean her all the time on command, it was cute.  He was a good kitty, I miss him.


Polish & Purrs,
