Horses on A Farm

Happy Saturday friends, 

Today I have some horse nails I did for a horse show that I was supposed to be at tomorrow but had to be canceled due to our show grounds being too wet with all the rain we've had lately. 

So, here's my horse nails for the canceled horse show. I think these turned out really good!

Bases are Sassy Sauce Off the Hook (shimmer) and BCB Lacquers What A Marshmallow (flakie). Stamped using Pretty Fingers by Robin Horses and Clear Jelly Stamper CJS-LC40 plates. 

Have a great rest of weekend, talk soon 🩷

Chickens Running the Farm

Happy Farm Show FriYay! 

Hello loves, today is the day that I go to the PA Farm Show, yay! I love going there and love everything about it from the animals to the educational exhibits to the food. I always run into quite a lot of people I know so that is nice too! 

For my nails for today I chose to do chickens since sadly there are none there this year due to the avian flu. I think these turned out great and I absolutely love the barn and farm house! 

Bases are Great Lakes Lacquer SB: The Thornapple (shimmer) and Nailed It My Heart Is Stronger Now That You're In It (flakie). I stamped using Pretty Fingers by Robin Farm and Clear Jelly Stamper CJS-138 plates. 

Have a great FriYay, talk soon!

PA Farm Show 2022

Happy Thursday,

Hello my loves. Today's nails are farm themed since this week is Pennsylvania Farm Show week. This is a very large agriculture event for our state and one of my very favorite things to go to each year. Last year it was canceled due to covid. This year it is back. Normally we go on Thursday but are sitting this year out because of covid numbers being way up again. I am vaccinated but just don't feel comfortable going this year since it is all inside. We have been watching it on a local cable channel that airs it all week so at least we have that. I will miss seeing all the animals and the food. Maybe next year will be more normal and we will go then. I hope so.

Supporting the small farmer is so important to me and so dear to my heart. It does really bum me out not going but at least I can show my support this year thru my nails. So, here they are. I am so happy with these and in love with how they came out. They make so happy!

My base is Polished For Days 2022. I used Quixotic Polish Arctic Glow for the sky on the stamped nails. I used Maniology M102, Whats Up Nails B061, Lantern and Wren Critter Comfort and Lesly Bambino 1 plates with different brands stamping polishes for the images. 

That's it for today. Please support your small local farmers wherever you are. We need them. Talk soon!

2021 PA Farm Show (or not)..Sniffle....Sniffle...

Happy Caturday, 

Today's nails are farm themed since today would have been the start of the annual Pennsylvania Farm Show. It is obviously not happening in real life this year due to Covid. It will be virtual but that is just not the same as being there in person and seeing all the animals, the food, old friends that I always run into, learning about different things in the agriculture world and so much more, sigh. 

The PA Farm Show is one event I always greatly look forward to each year, It has a lot of small farmers that exhibit there and the small farmer is very important to me to support. I grew up in the country so know and have known quite a few small farmers over the years and it is so important to support them. The PA Farm Show does just that. 

I am so saddened that there is no Farm Show this year but in order to show my support for farmers and the farm life I am still going to do some nails for this week for "Farm Show Week". You can learn more about the PA Farm Show here: https://www.farmshow.pa.gov/Pages/default.aspx?fbclid=IwAR1ngIPt3mbdjYqxoQuXITroboko2ChKzj3ikTmGKjceUPtwXWnTdvqmoEg

So, for my nails I decided to do some Winter farm scene nails so barns and cows it is. I totally love how these came out, they are so cute I think :) Hope you enjoy them too! 

My base is F.U.N. Laquer "Frozen". I stamped with Whats Up Nails black and white stamping polish and colored in the images with China Glaze "Sweet As Pinkie Pie", China Glaze "Hey Sailor" and Sally Hansen X-treme Wear "Bare It All". The images are from Whats Up B061, Kads Nature 033 and Born Pretty BP-L086 plates. I used Funky Fingers "Gesso" to sponge on the snow and then put F.U.N. Laquer "Chemistry" on top of the snow to make it sparkle. On my pinkies and thumbs is one coat of Finger Paints "Sparkle With Me". Please excuse the cuticle sores/redness on a few fingers. I got a new cuticle remover and metal pusher and went a bit crazy removing and pushing my cuticles. I normally use the blue Sally Hansen one and a wooden stick so I have to get used to a metal one.

Frozen on it's own. Love this for the base for these nails. 

That's it for today. I will probably do one more farm themed mani this coming week so will talk to you then. I leave you with Mr. Kitty sleeping with a catnip toy that my sister made for the cats for Christmas. He is so cute when he does this with his toys. He is a cute kitty!
