Happy 9 Year Blogiversary/B-day Melly's Musings!!

Hello my loves, 

Today marks nine years officially since I began this blog and posting my nails regularly on the interwebs! Crazy to think I've been doing this for that long. Where does the time go!!!! I post my nails here along with Facebook (I'm old, so, yes, I still use FB) and Instagram. I will continue posting to those along with this blog as I like to have my pics in one easily searchable place. So, here's to another 9 years of my nails and posting them. I went back to my first post and the very first time I ever stamped and reverse stamped my nails and wow, how far I have come in my stamping skills! 

Over the years I have done some pretty good, in my opinion, at least free hand nail art. Once I started to get really into stamping and good at it my free hand went by the way side and now I only stamp since it looks way better and I am truly a stamping addict now days, lol. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE stamping my nails! It's fun! 

After these nails for fun I have some of my old manis to show how much my nail skills have improved. It was fun going back and looking at these :) 

So for my blogiversary nails I did these too cute spooky cupcakes. I'm in love 🧡

My bases are Great Lakes Lacquer Strength Untold (pink shimmer) and Bluebird Lacquer Here For the Boos (magnetic). I stamped using Hit the Bottle Dreadful Delights and Apipla Confectionery plates with different stamping polishes. 



Here's some old pics for fun :) 

This was my picture from my very first post on 9/28/2014. I did a lot of dotticures back then, they are easy and are hard to mess up. They were good for my first adventures into the world of nail art. 
Here is one of my favorite free hands I did way back on 10/5/2017 of some too cute foxes when I was still doing everything free hand on my nails. 

These are from the first time I stamped 10/18/2015! I was pretty terrible back then, ha ha. But, we all have to start somewhere.
My first go at reverse stamping from 8/2/2020. Again, pretty terrible, but practice does make perfect. 
Here are some reverse stamped nails from 11/15/2022. I've gotten so good at stamping since I first began if I do say so myself :) I loved these Fall nails last year! 
There you have my spooky blogiversary/b-day nails plus a bit of trip down memory lane with my nails. 

Talk soon, have a great day and here's to another 9 years of Smelly Melly nails!

Polish & Purrs,

Melly
