Goofy Giraffes

Happy Sunday,

Hello my friends, I hope you are well and life is good. It's good my way and the weather yesterday and today has been amazing, no rain, nice temperatures and a lovely breeze. I will so take it after all the rain we've been having :)

Today I have some giraffes that I did this morning. They were way harder to actually do on my nails that I thought they would be. I still think they turned out cute even if they are kind of goofy, ha ha :) Hope you like them too :)

My bases are China Glaze "In A Lily Bit" (purple) and NYC "Fashion Safari" (beige). I drew the giraffes using NYC "Fashion Safari" and China Glaze "Mahogany Magic". I then did a blobbicure on my rings nails with both those polishes also. The glitter on my index nails is Maybelline "Pearl Gem" and on the pinkies and thumbs is a "Melly Mix".

In A Lily Bit and Fashion Safari on their own.

Have a great Sunday and I'll talk at you soon! I leave you with two pics of Miss Betty, my heart, my love kitty. I took these last Summer and they are some of my two favorite ones of her. I love all our cats, but this little lady is my heart. The bond and relationship her and I have is so special :) She's my girl and entirely too cute!

Summertime Sparkle

Happy Thursday My Love Bugs,

It's almost the Friday, yay!!! This has been a long work week! Last weekend was fun, Saturday Casey and I and our friends, Nick, Leah, Amy and Sarah all went camping for one night in Sullivan County, PA on state campgrounds, it was fun. I ended up doing about a mile hike and was so sore afterwards, I'm out of shape for hikes that, but it was good :) It did end up raining on Saturday night which what else is new, it always rains anymore, ugh. Oh well, great time still was had! I've got a few pics at the end of this post.

For the nails today I have some super simple low motivation nails I did two nights ago, I was tired so didn't feel like putting a lot of time or effort into doing my nails but had to get them done since they were chipping so bad. I still had the buttons on I did last post. It's Summer time so a neon is so in order for these nails :)

My base is Orly "Put the Top Down". The glitter is Essie "You're So Cupid" and on the rest is a coat of Sally Hansen Diamond Strength "Aisle Be There".

Put the Top Down on it's own, love this bright neon :) 

Here's some pics of our camping trip last weekend.

This was our campsite.

Buttons, Buttons, Buttons

Happy Sunday My Loves,

Hope you are having a good weekend. Mine has been okay, uneventful. I cleaned and then hung out with my sister last night. I haven't been 100% the past week or so due to allergies. They've been so awful this year and I've been so miserable, ugh! I think it's how wet and rainy it's been that seems to be making it worse this year, oh well, life goes on!

Today I don't have much planned but a pretty lazy Sunday and I am so okay with that :)

For the nails today I have some cute little buttons I did this morning, me thinks they are cute. These shades of purple but look more blue since my camera really struggles with purples. These were easy, just dotting tools used. I used to love going through my Mom's button tin when I was a kid and checking out all the different buttons, buttons are cool :)

My base is Essie "Shade On". For the buttons I used dotting tools  with the following polishes: Orly "Charged Up", Orly "Saturated", Orly "November Fog", China Glaze "Spontaneous" and Sinful Colors "Snow Me White". The glitter is Pretty Woman "Purple" and on my pinkies and index nails I put a coat of Color Club "Pearl-Spective" to finish.

Shade On by itself, it's way more purple in real life, but my camera has a super hard time with purples.

Have a great Sunday, talk soon. I leave you with Miss Betty and Mr. Kitty. Miss Betty loves her brother so much and he's a great brother to her too, it makes my heart so happy :)

Rest In Peace Grumpy Cat

Happy Sunday Loves,

I hope you are well and having a good weekend. I am, yesterday I got to see my cousin, Dan, who I hadn't seen and in many years since he had moved down south and now is back up in PA. I got to meet his kids and wife for the first time too. It was really nice. They came out to my Mom's and they got to meet Dusty, my horse, too. It was a great time. Today I don't have much going on and am just kinda planning on being pretty lazy. Then tonight my sister is coming to hang out.

Unless you have been living under a rock you should know who Grumpy Cat or Tardar Sauce is. She is a cat that became an internet sensation for her face always looking grumpy from an underbite and feline dwarfism. So many many memes were made with her image on and words of grumpiness. It was super cute all the memes that came to be with her featured on them. She became a truly famous cat. Sadly she succumbed to complications from a urinary tract infection on May 14 of this year. When news of this came on social media the world was truly saddened. She entered the hearts of many people the world over, mine included. I think she was such a cute little lady and I feel deeply for her people on the loss of her.

So, today to honor the memory of Tardar Sauce aka Grumpy Cat, I did some nails for her. May you rest in peace at the Rainbow Bridge sweet girl until your family comes to join you one day.

Here's a pic of her. She was adorable.

This meme came out not long after her passing, so appropriate to honor her and to make you smile in the sadness of her death.

Here's a little collage I pulled off the internet of examples of some of the memes that were made with her.

 Here's a cute one that talks about her as herself as a kitty.

My base is China Glaze "Shocking Pink". I sponged on China Glaze "Sweet As Pinkie Pie" then stamped using Funky Fingers "Dark Knight" with Bundle Monster BM-S162 and Creative Shop 62 plates. I used a black striper to do the RIP GC and a coat of Athena & Aphrodite "Maroon Dreams" in the rest to finish. I did end up stamping the nail I wanted to write RIP on by accident on my left hand so had to change it to my index nail on that hand but, oh well, what can I say, I am a blond, LOL :)

Shocking Pink on it's own, love this bright pink. 

There you have my Grumpy Cat memorial nails. I think these do her memory well. The internet will never be the same without her in it although she will never really be off the internet and she will live on forever in her memes that I am sure will continue to be shared over and over for years to come. Go here to learn more about the history of her if you so desire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumpy_Cat

Here's myself and my newest little second cousin, Cora, from yesterday, she's a total doll baby :)

 Here's my cousin, Dan, his kids, my second cousins, Sammy and Arya, and myself.

That's all for today, have a great Sunday and talk soon my love bugs xoxo
