Starry Night in the Mountains at Camp

Happy Friday Friends, 

Hope you are well and having/had a good week. Today I have the nails I did for last weekend when we were camping in the mountains at our family camp. It was a great weekend, the weather was amazing and temperatures were awesome as well. I have lots of pics after my nails. Enjoy them :) 

For my nails I decided to do a pretty starry night in the mountains. I layer stamped the trees and think these turned out super cute. Hope you like them too! 

My bases are F.U.N. Laquer "Starry Night of the Summer" (pinkies and thumbs) and Orly "Sagebrush" (index, middle and ring). I stamped with Konad "Black" and Dance Legend "Grey" stamping polishes and Born Pretty "L072" plate. I did the grey stamping first then the black to give the trees some definition. I painted Color Club "Take A Hike" on the top half of the stamped nails to make the night sky then I used F.U.N. Laquer "Diamond Dust" and Holo Taco "Flakie Holo Taco" top coats to create the starrry skies. The glitter on my pinkies and thumbs is Finger Paints "Sparkle With Me" to finish. 

           
                                            

                                        
"Starry Night of the Summer" (pinkies and thumbs) and Orly "Sagebrush" (index, middle and ring) on their own. 

Here are a slew of pictures from our weekend. We did miss peak fall foliage by about 10 days, but it was still super pretty! 

This is our neighbor camp kid, Landon, love this kid, he's an awesome little guy. Here he is with the wooly caterpillar he found on the tree that he named Leo :) 

Turkeys we saw on a pretty Fall day drive we took all over! 

Some super sweet dogs we met with some really cool people too that we met on our drive! 






Rock cairns! 
The creeks are so low, Potter County as much of PA is, is in a serious draught. 
Top of the mountain! 


Some cool stones on the side of the road going up the mountain.


Just some pretty scenery. 

Our beloved bus that we camp in :) :) 
Landon again! 
Landon's sister Avery, love this sweet little girl also. These two kids are two of my favorites kids in this world :) 
A rock and picture I made for Avery. 
One of the two overlooks we stop at It's such an amazing view! 

This is part of the mountain by our camp. 
Camp.
More mountains by camp! 


At our camp. 
Even more camp mountains. This is a neighbor's camp here. 




We have no idea what this is so we threw it in the fire in case it was invasive. 

The moon over the mountains coming back from our drive, this was so cool looking. 

The other lookout we go to.


Our neighbor's camp. 
Leaves, leaves and more leaves. We had so much raking to do! 
Camp shots. 




Sunday morning when it was getting light out. I thought we were going to have a sunrise but then the clouds moved in so I only got these, still pretty though I think. 




Saw these guys leaving camp, they were HUGE!


Wykoff Run, the falls we always stop at on the way home. This is the lowest I've ever seen this, sigh. Hopefully we get rain and lots of it soon! 


That's it for this post. Talk soon when I come back with more Halloween nails, yay! 

Polish & Purrs,

My base here is China Glaze "Maliboo-Boo". It is a holo polish but I wanted to make it stronger so I put one coat of Indigo Bananas "Rainbow All the Things" on top of the nails. The pink glitter on my ring fingers is Finger Paints "He-Art Auction". Love this super sparkly mani :) 




My base is Orly "November Fog". The glitter on my ring nails is Sally Hansen Lux & Lace "Intimate" and on the rest is Kleancolor "Ethereal". I love these super pretty simple palette cleanser nails :)

For my do-over of this mani I did a base of Essie "Ciao Effect". The glitter is Essie "Pinking About You" and on the rest is Kleancolor "Galactic".

My base is Orly "Brittney Beach" the glitter is a Melly Mix and on the rest is a coat of Misa "Sweet Pleasure".

My base here was Essie "All The Wave".  I put Zoya "Dream" and then OPI "Snowflakes In the Air" on top of "Dream" on the glittered nails.  I put a coat of a "Melly Mix" on the rest then to finish. Not sure why I only had one picture of these nails? 

My base is Orly "Hot Pursuit". The glitter is Morgan Taylor "Lots of Dots" and on the rest is one coat of a "Melly Mix".

Hot Pursuit by itself, so pretty I think! 
My bases here are China Glaze "No-Holds Barb" (pinkies and thumbs) and Essie "Check Your Baggage" (index, middle and ring) nails. I sponged on Essie "Pretty Edgy" and Essie "Can Dew Attitude" on the the nails to stamp, then stamped using a Twinkled T brown stamping polish (they don't have names on the bottles though, gah) with Whats Up Nails B053 plate. I then put a coat of China Glaze "Fairy Dust" on top of the stamped nails. The glitter on my index nails is Cupcake Polish "Friends With Trees" and on my pinkies and thumbs I put a coat of Indigo Bananas "SF 35 Top Coat" to finish this mani.

On the stamped nails is a base of OPI "Do You Lilac It?" then I did a gradient using "Do You Lilac It?", China Glaze "Mix and Mingle" and China Glaze "Stop Beachfrontin'".

PA Renaissance Faire Dragons

Happy Sunday Loves, 

I hope you are well and that life is okay your way and you are staying healthy. I am okay. Saturday I went to our state's Renaissance Faire with my sister and my cousins. It was definitely different this year with the Covid restrictions in place. It was of course masks all day and there was not as much live music since musical groups are not traveling so that was strange, not all the food places or vendors were open but it was still fun and nice to get out and do something during these strange times we are in. 

I did some cute dragon nails on holo for my nails yesterday. I loved these and think they came out super cute. Hope you like them too :) 

My bases are Color Club "Blue Heaven" (blue) and Color Club "Angel Kiss" (green). I used the "Blue Heaven" to paint the sky. I stamped using Twinkle T black stamping polish with Beauty Big Bang X082 and Maniology M131 plates.




                           Blue Heaven and Angel Kiss on their own, love these, they are so holo :) 

That's it for the nails. I loved these, they were so cute I think. I need to find more plates with dragons on them after realizing that these are the only two plates I have with dragons on them. 

These little dragons I got at the Faire and added them to my nail desk. I love them so much. They are so cute!I actually dressed as a "space dragon" yesterday. I wore some galaxy print leggings with some glitter horns and a couple hip scarves and alas a space dragon I was :) :) :) 

Here is my cousin Jesse, me and my sister. 
Here's me, my cousin Theresa (Jesse's mom) and sister Tina.

Here is all of us, Scott (Theresa's husband) my cousin Theresa, myself, my sister, Tina and Jesse (Theresa's son) :) 

We had a great time even in the time of covid. It was nice! That's it for today. My sister is here now and we will be watching The Walking Dead season finale finally that is airing tonight, yay! Talk soon, safe and stay healthy. 

Polish & Purrs,

Melly
