It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Happy Monday loves, 

I am off work today so I decided to do my second Christmas mani of this season so you get two today 😊 I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving if you celebrate. Mine was nice. Casey cooked here at home with just the two of us. It was a nice and lowkey day. I go back to work tomorrow so today is the last day of my six day staycation. The cats will hate me going back to work tomorrow, lol. They love having mommy home with them for almost a week. 😊

The first mani I did Saturday morning and the elves this morning. I have lots of Christmas nails planned for this year so I'll be posting a lot in the coming weeks!

My base here is Holo Taco "Red Licorice". I stamped using Maniology "Bam! White" with Whats Up Nails "B050" and Lina "Can't Wait For Xmas! 02" plates. The glitter is a no named one I got at a local beauty supply. The first two pics were in the sun yesterday. These Holo Taco holos are so pretty!!!

          Red Licorice on it's own, so gorgeous!

Here my base is K.B. Shimmer "Fir Sure". The red on the tips is Cupcake Polish "Some Berry to Love". The other polishes I didn't (was too lazy to write down lol) keep track of. On top of my index nails is two coats of ILNP "Fully Loaded". 

       Fir Sure by itself, perfect Christmas green.

Have a great day. Talk soon. Here's all my black cats with me Saturday night. I love my black cats so much and times like this make my heart so happy ❤❤❤

Gobble Till You Wobble

Happy Happy Happy Turkey Day!!!! 

Hello my loves. I hope that today finds you healthy and safe. Today in the U.S.A. it's Thanksgiving Day. Normally we would be spending it with family but this year we are trying to do our part in curbing the spread of Covid by staying home. Casey is making turkey dinner at home today so it will be a day of being home and hanging out with the kitties and bunnies (our kids :) ). 

Even in this year of weird I have very much to be thankful for. I have my health, my mom and family, Casey, a job that is pretty secure, a roof over my head, my horse, our bunnies, our cats and our amazing friends (whom I miss dearly, sniffle, sniffle). I also have the little (if insignificant) things to be thankful and grateful for such as nail polish which makes me crazy happy, my books, my paints and rocks. So, in the strange ass times we find ourselves in we should always remember that there is something to be thankful and grateful for no matter how small it may be.  

For today's nails I decided on some cute little reverse stamped turkeys and a super cute and fun phrase. The "gobble till you wobble" makes me giggle each time I look at it. I decided to go away from the traditional fall color scheme because, well, I am a bit tired of those shades right now so pink shades it it. I think these turned out so fun and so cute. Hope you enjoy them too! 

My base is OPI "Suzi Shops & Island Hops". I stamped using Maniology "Annato Clay", Konad "Black" polishes and MoYou London "Fall In Love 11" plate. I used Candy Laquer "Iced Orchid" to draw the accents on the stamped nails. I colored in the images with a bunch of shimmer polishes that I was way too lazy to keep track of :) The glitter on my ring nails is Colores de Carol "Material Girl" and on my thumbs and pinkies is a coat of Maniology "Sugar Speed Dry Top Coat". 

                                  Suzi Shops & Island Hops on it's own, Love this shade of pink. 

That's it for the nails for today. Have a great day with whatever you are doing for the holiday. I had off yesterday thru Monday of this coming week and I am so looking forward to some time off. My hip has been hurting me pretty bad the last several days with the arthritis I have in it so I'll be taking it easy at home for the most part. Getting old sure is not easy, gah. 

Stay safe and healthy. Talk to you soon. I'll be starting my first Christmas nails this week, can't wait :) 

Here's Miss Betty looking too cute, per usual. She is my baby baby girl!

Happy Sunday my loves, 

I hope that today finds you well, healthy and safe. I am okay. This week I am off from Wednesday through next Tuesday. I am obviously not going anywhere with Covid but will have a staycation and hang with the kitties. Casey will be making turkey dinner for just the two of us Thursday. I am looking forward to some time off. I need the work break!

Today I have two manis for you. I did the yellow ones Friday night, smudged the heck out of them so redid my nails yesterday with the blue. I love them both and was kinda bummed I buggered the yellow ones up. Oh well!

My base is Holo Taco "Lemon Sucker". I reverse stamped using Maniology MXM041 plate with Sinful Colors "Black on Black", OPI "Don't Bossa Nova Me Around", Twinkled T gray, Holo Taco "Red Licorace" and Holo Taco "Orange Drink". I then put a coat of Holo Taco "Solar Unicorn Skin" on my middle nails to finish. 

   Lemon Sucker on it's own. Love, love, love Holo Taco's linear holos.

Here my base is Color Club "Crystal Baller". I stamped with Whats Up Nails B053 and Lina 4 Seasons Autumn 02. I stamped with Maniology "Annato Clay" and colored the images with OPI "Live Love Carnival" and China Glaze "Shore Enuff. The glitter is Poparazzi "Peacock". Did not get a pic of "Crystal Baller" on it's own. It is another glorious holo that I love ❤

That's it for today. I leave you with Mr. Kitty being too cute😍

Fall Plaid and Our New Bunny ❤🐰

Happy Sunday Loves, 

Hello my friends. I hope today finds you well and healthy. I've been suffering with fall allergies and a terrible sinus headache the last two days but other than that I am okay and life is alright, well, as alright as it can be in this strange year! 

Last week I mentioned that we adopted a new bunny from a friend that raises show bunnies but she did not meet breed standards since she has white on her toes. I went and got her last Sunday and she is doing absolutely great since she has been here with us. We named her Sissie since she is our other rabbit, The Girl (that is her name, lol), new sister. They are getting along really well and the cats and her are getting along wonderfully also so all is well on the pet front and being friends. The Girl is a bit jealous since she has been the only bunny here since we lost our other two about 3 years ago or so. We have been giving her tons of extra attention also so she is realizing that she is still just as loved as always :) I have bunny pics at the end of this post :) 

Today I have some super simple stamped nails I did yesterday. I made this mani super quick since my head has been hurting so bad, ugh. My lines did not pick up as crisp as I would have liked but oh well. I still think these are super pretty and so fall like! 

My base is Essie "Swing of Things". I stamped using Maniology "Cozy" polish and Maniology M164 plate. I put a coat of Orly "Prisma Gloss Gold" on top of the stamped nails. On my middle nails is a coat of ILNP "Karma" and on my thumbs and pinkies is one coat of Cupcake Polish "Lemon Icing" to finish. 

                            Swing of Things on it's own. Love these types of shades for Fall. 

Here is Sissie last Sunday after we brought her home and got her all settled. She is just so cute :) We love her lots already. She is really sweet! 

Here she is on Tuesday or Wednesday getting to know the cats. 

Here she is yesterday loving being out in the yard and able to run around and have fun. She really is loving life! 

This was The Girl last Sunday acting all miffed when we first brought her home. She was so mad here and grouchy about a new kid coming, lol! 

She got over that quite fast though. Here are Sissie and The Girl yesterday both loving life and becoming friends. 

The Girl not so angry any longer, ha ha! She is such a good girl too. We love her loads too! 

That's it for today. Have a great Sunday. I'm not doing much but taking it easy and trying to get rid of this horrible headache, ugh. Talk soon!

Smudgey Scarecrows

Happy Sunday,

Hello my friends, I hope you are well and life is okay. It's  good my way. Later today I am going to pick up a new pet we are getting. We are adopting a new bunny and I am so excited. I'll have a post all for her around mid week this coming week. 

Today I have some super cute if a little smudged scarecrows I did last night. I failed to float my top coat and hence some smudges. Oh well, I still think these are super cute ❤

My bases are Essie "Heart of the Jungle" (green) and Essie "Feeling Wellies" (yellow). I used nail art brushes, dotting tools, a black striper and a slew of other polishes I'm too lazy to type, lol. 

Heart of the Jungle (green) and Feeling Wellies (yellow) on their own, love these two together.

That's all for today. Have a great rest of the day, talk soon. I leave you with Dino and Mr. Kitty looking too cute😍
