Oh Deer at Dawn or Dusk

Happy FriYay Loves, 

I hope you are well and life is good. It's great my way. Last weekend I was at our family camp with my brother Dave and friend/ex Casey. It was chilly and rainy but an awesome weekend none the less. 

Here are the deer nails I did for the weekend. I think these just turned out okay. I have been battling a bit of a cold so my head (pun intended) was not completely into doing the best job on my nails. Oh well, such is life. 

Bases are Pahlish Midwest Princess (shimmer) and Red Eye Lacquer Wilson (flakie). Stamped using Born Pretty Natural World L022 and Nicole Diary 153 plates. 

Here's me at the sign going to Potter County where our camp is located.

Have a great weekend, talk soon!

Deer & Elk At Sunset

Happy Monday,

Today I have some elk and deer that I did for my first trip to our family camp for this year this weekend. We had a great weekend and had so much fun as usual. I love getting away to camp. It's so nice up at our camp. I love it so much!

Bases are Potion Polish Arizona (shimmer) and Potion Polish Hills of Heather (flakie). Stamped using Pretty Fingers by Robin Wildlife, Lantern and Wren Wild About You 1, ZZ Forest 1, ZZ Forest 2 and CYO Maniology M102 plates.

Here is camp. It's such a wonderful place to get away to our home away! 

Have a good Memorial Day and think about those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms that we have.

Holy Huntin' Holiday 2022

Happy Caturday loves!!!

Today in Pennsylvania marks a very special day for deer hunters. It's opening day of deer rifle season. It is a huge thing here! I do not hunt but my dad was a big hunter and my brother Dave and boyfriend Casey hunts. I also have plenty of other hunters in my life so I enjoy doing huntin' nails for them. 

Each year I dedicate my deer season nails to my dad and for all the mighty hunters in my life. I think this year's came out awesome. They are my favorite to date. 

My bases are Holo Taco Highest Bidder (silver gray) and LynBDesigns Renoir Or Not, Here I Come (flakie). I used Mundo de Unas Great Oudoors 2, Beauty Big Bang Silhouette XL-002 and some no name plates with different stamping polishes. 

There you have my nails for deer season. I love these. I also put my tree up. It is so easy. All I do is take it out of a five gallon bucket I store it in, put fresh batteries in the lights and I am done. It's small and I love it 🙂

Frolicing Forest Friends

Happy Tuesday friends, 

Tonight I have some super cute Fall nails. I haven't gotten really any Fall nails done since the month of September thru early October I was dealing with the cat bite infection in my thumb. So, here are one of the only Fall manis I may end up doing this year. I love these. Think they turned out super cute 😍 

My bases are Pahlish Dancing On My Own (shimmer) and Night Owl Lacquer Cozy Sweater (flakie). I stamped using Maniology M33 and Dixie Autumn 03 plates with different stamping polishes. 

Have a fantastic night. Talk soon!

Campfire In the Woods

Happy Caturday loves, 

It's the weekend, yay! Next weekend Casey and I go camping so today I have some campfire nails to get me in camp mode 🙂To me there is not much better in life than sitting by a nice fire. I love the smell, the crackling of the wood and the colors of a good fire. I think these turned out really good!

My base is Whats Up Nails Night Contrails. It's magnetic so I magnetized the nails to stamp to give the sky some dimension. I painted some Great Lakes Lacquer Lake Of the Clouds to make the ground. I put a reflective topper on for stars and on my thumbs and pinkies for more starry looking twinkle on those nails. I stamped using Whats Up Nails B070, Born Pretty Natural World L002 and some random no name plate. 

Have a great weekend. Talk soon!

Forest Fox In Fall

Hello my loves, 

I hope you are well and good. I am good my way. I had a busy but good weekend. Saturday I volunteered at the cat and dog vaccine clinic that I help at once a month. Then on Sunday I was helping out at the year end awards presentation for the horse show association I volunteer at. I was in charge of making up little gift bags for the little kid division winners. I have some pics of that and some rocks I painted at the end of this post. 

Today I have some more fun Fall nails. I think these woodsy foxes came out so cute and I love the brown holo base. 

My base is ILNP Mona Lisa. I stamped using Maniology MXM065, Whats Up Nails B033 and Uber Chic Lively Leaves 03 plates with Maniology and Hit the Bottle stamping polishes.

Hope you enjoyed these today 🙂 

Here is what I put in each gift bag and the rocks I painted for the bags. I had so much fun making these up for those girls. 

Here are the rocks I did. I love these all and did keep two of them for myself to enjoy. I put one at home on my nail desk and one on my desk at work. 

Here is the set up of awards and ribbons. There was a good turnout and the weather was beautiful. It was nice!

Have a happy Tuesday, talk soon.

Camp Weekend

Hello my friends, 

I hope you are well and life is good. It is my way. Casey and I were at our family camp this weekend. The weather was amazing and we had a great weekend. We saw elk on the road up to camp and it was awesome. Only recently have elk been migrating to this area so seeing them was really great!!!

We did not do much, mostly hung out at camp and Casey prepped the bus for a new paint job in a couple weeks when he goes back to paint. The bus is a 1939 school bus converted to a camp. It is great and I love it dearly. I have some pics after my nails below of our weekend.

For my nails for the weekend I did some layered tree stamping with deer and bear. I am so pleased with how these came out. I love these ❤

My base is Colores de Carol Peaceful. I put one coat of Holo Taco Galactic Unicorn Skin on the nails to stamp. I used ZZ Forest 1, Lantern & Wren Layers of Nature, Nicole Diary 153 and Clear Jelly Stamper CJS-67 plates with all Maniology stamping polishes.

Here is our beloved bus.

In the outhouse 🤪😜🥺🥴

Inside of the bus. We have and will always keep it just the way my Dad had it. I love that everything is so old ❤

Here are my Dad's ashes and some of one of his best buddies who spent a lot of time at camp with him. 

Looking up at our camp. I love it so much. It truly is home away.

The view from below our camp. It's so gorgeous.

The road where we get spring water by camp. So gorgeous here too.

Cast getting water.

The one local general store's sweet sweet girl, Sadie. I love her and smother her with attention when we go there. 

The elk on the way to camp. These animals are so cool.

That's it for today. Have a great day. I am off for the Labor Day holiday and plan on a lazy day with the cats 🐈 Talk soon.
