Birthday Nails (the start of the last year of my 40's, Yikes!!!!)

Happy Monday my loves 😊

Today is my 49th birthday. I cannot believe that in one year I will be 50, YIKES!!!! Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday that I was a kid, in my 20's and 30's. Time sure does fly! 

I am working today but did just have a four day weekend. I didn't do a whole lot other than some cleaning, my nails twice, binging some Netflix and YouTube, hanging with the cats, the bunny and Casey. My sister came over Saturday night like usual and that was it for my b-day weekend and I am so okay with that. Birthdays are not a huge deal for me, it's just another day and another year older, lol.

I did two manis for my birthday this year, one Aries themed and the other cake/cupcake themed. I sure will never say no to cake!! I think the cake and cupcake nails came out adorable. I like the Aries ones but was not in love with them. 

Anyways, onto the nails. My bases are Enchanted Polish "Darth" (thumb, index & pinkies) and ILNP "Cityscape" (middle & ring). I stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper 034 polish with Maniology MXM046 plate.

Darth and Cityscape on their own, love Cityscape, it's pretty!

My bases are ILNP "Bluebird" (thumb, index & pinkies) and on my middle and ring nails is a base of K.B. Shimmer "Up to Snow Good" with a coat of Color Club "Blue Beaded". I stamped using Uber Chic "Party Time" plate with  Maniology "Jazzercise", "Coconut", "Littlefoot", "Kandi  Spirit", "Tulip Julep" and Noodles Nail Polish "The Unicorn" for the outlines and for coloring in the images. I did not get pics of the polishes by themselves this time.

That's it for today. Have a great day, talk soon. I leave you with Miss Betty snuggling me around 4 AM after she gets me up to ask to go outside to poop. She purrs like crazy and we snuggle fest until it's time to get up. This little lady, she is just my heart. We have such an amazing bond, it's great ❤❤❤

Polish & Purrs,

Chocolate Bunny Nails & My Real Chocolate Bunny :)

Happy Hoppy Easter :) 

Happy Easter Sunday if you celebrate. I am not doing anything today but staying home. I will be going to see my mom mid week this week for lunch of her ham leftovers that she is making today for herself and my sister that lives with her. Normally I go to church with her on Easter and then we go to Casey's family for dinner. Casey is at fishing camp since fishing season opened here yesterday. I'm enjoying my time by myself with the cats and the bunny. Next year I am thinking (hoping) things will be back to normal and I will be going to church then dinner. 

For my last Easter nails of this year I chose to do some chocolate bunny nails in honor of my real live chocolate bunny. I've been saying for years now to Casey that I wanted a real chocolate bunny for our next bunny pet and I got one when Miss Sissie came into our lives back in early November. She totally reminds me of a chocolate bunny and I am so happy she is in my life. I finally got my real chocolate bunny, yay :) 

I love these nails, think they came out so cute and am very proud of them. Hope you like them too! 

My bases are Penelope Luz "Charoite" (thumb, index & pinkies) and I.L.N.P. "Heather" (ring & middle). I did put one coat of Polish Me Silly "Glow Girl" on top of Heather" to give a bit of an Easter grass look with the flakies in this polish. I stamped with Beauty Big Bang XL-103 plate and Twinkled T brown for the outline. I colored to images in with Maniology "Annato Clay". I used a nail art brush and dotting tool to do the ribbons and eyes with Maniology "Monarch Dreams", "Maui Gold" and "Jazzercize" polishes.  

Charoite and Heather on their own. 

Heather with a coat of Glow Girl on top. Love these flakies on top! 

There you have my chocolate bunny nails. So in love with these! Here is Miss Sissie (and my nails) when my upstairs neighbor/friend Sarah helped me with putting a ribbon on her to make her look even more like a chocolate bunny. I think she looks too stinking cute :) She is such a trooper too, she did not care at all about this ribbon being on her. She is such a good rabbit. We love her so much!

Here is Sarah holding the chocolate bunny, she is just the cutest bunny in the world!!! She is so good!

That's if for today, have a great Easter, talk soon!

It's the Birds!!!!

Happy Wednesday My Friends, 

It's the middle of the week already, yay! For me it's actually my Thursday since we have off for Good Friday this Friday. I am so looking forward to a 3 day weekend! 

Today's nails are from a new stamping plate I recently got that I could not wait to use. I am in love with this mani and hope you like it too! I think the birds turned out so cute! Reverse stamping is so much fun and not hard to do either! I love stamping! 

My bases are Polished for Days "Blue Spruce" (green) and P.O.P. Polish "Cold Shoulder" (blue). I stamped the outlines with Maniology "Cocoa" polish and MoYou London Botanical Collection 05 plate. I colored the images with a bunch of stamping polishes I didn't bother to keep track of, lol 😊

Blue Spruce and Cold Shoulder on their own, loved these two together for the base for this mani. 

That's it for today, Have a great day, talk to you soon. Here's Miss Betty, my heart kitty, looking too cute as always!

Let's Paint Some Eggs!

Happy FriYay my loves, 

It's finally FriYay, YAY :) I hope you are well and that the week has been good for you. I am okay. I am having some issues going on in my right thumb joint. About three weeks ago the joint began cracking and popping along with becoming super swollen, inflamed and painful to the touch. I went to the doctor last week and she thought is was maybe Gout and had me take a course medicine. After a week there was no change so I went back yesterday and she now suspects it may be tendonitis. I have to go to an orthopedic specialist now to have them look at it and possibly do an injection to help it. I am currently on Prednisone to see if that helps with the swelling. We shall see. This has been so painful and frustrating as it is my right hand and I am right handed. 

Anyways, onto the nails. Today I have some super cute stamped Easter eggs. I think these came out so cute and I really like them :) 

My bases are Penelope Luz "Aquamarine" (thumb, index and pinky) and Cupcake Polish "Dream" (middle and ring) I stamped the outline with Twinkled T white stamping polish and MoYou London "Festive 60" plate. I colored the images in with all Hit the Bottle pastel stamping polishes that I am being too lazy to type out, lol 😛

Aquamarine and Dream on their own.

That's it for today, talk soon!

Spring Has Sprung....Yay!!!

Happy Spring Loves, 

Spring is finally here!!!! I am so ready for nice weather. This Winter and the gray after gray after gray days we had were really starting to get to me. I need some sunshine and warmth in my life. Here it is finally, yay 😊 Today is supposed to be a really nice day in our area and I cannot wait. 

For my Happy Spring nails I chose this awesome plate that I think the flowers ended up looking great on the yellow background. I also think the pink compliments the yellow quite nicely. I am kinda in love with these nails!

My bases are P.O.P. Polish "Love At Frost Site" (thumb, index & pinkies) and Noodles Nail Polish "Been There, Sun That" (middle & ring). I stamped with Maniology M118 plate and Twinkled T white stamping polish. I colored the images in with Maniology "Monarch Dream", "Limelight" and Twinkled T blue, pink and yellow polishes. The Twinkled T do not come with name labels on the bottles so no names for them.

P.O.P. Polish "Love At Frost Site" (thumb, index & pinkies) and Noodles Nail Polish "Been There, Sun That" (middle & ring). I absolutely LOVE these together ❤

Have a great first day of Spring and I hope you can get outside today and just appreciate that Spring has sprung, YAY. Talk soon. I leave you with Miss Betty looking as cute as can be cleaning herself beside me on the couch. I love this little girl so much, she is my baby girl ❤

St. Paddy's Day 2021

Happy St. Paddy's Day!!! 

Today's post is a super quick one. Here are my St. Paddy nails. I went super simple this year. I am having some severe arthritis issues in my right thumb joint so doing my nails, typing, writing and/or picking up some things has gotten difficult. I do have a doctor appointment tomorrow that I will be talking to the doctor about some of my arthritis issues I've been having. So between my hips and now my thumb hopefully I can get some relief soon! 

My bases are Hit the Bottle "Lucky Spark" (thumbs & pinkies), P.O.P. Polish "Slush Fund" (ring & index) and Colores de Carol "Rio" (middle). I stamped with Maniology "Lilypad" polish and Whats Up Nails B017 plate.

Hit the Bottle "Lucky Spark" (thumbs & pinkies), P.O.P. Polish "Slush Fund" (ring & index) and Colores de Carol "Rio" (middle) all on their own, love these three together! 

Have a great and happy St. Paddy Day, talk soon!

Happy Sunday Loves, 

Hi my friends. Hope you are well and enjoying the nice weather we've been having. I know I sure have been 😊

Today I have my next Easter nails. I chose to do a cute little Easter Bunny and a bunny butt. I think these are cute.

My bases are ILNP "Wrapped Up" (thumb, index & pinkies) and P.O.P. Polish "Chill Pill" (middle & ring). I stamped with MoYou Lobdon "Festive Collection 09" plate and Maniology "Rave Babe" polish. I colored the images in with Sinful Colors "Snow Me White". I used Painted Polish "You Drive Me Glazy" on the bottoms of the stamped nails. I also put a coat of BaronessX "Amatista" on top of "Wrapped Up" to give some purple sparkle to those nails.

Wrapped Up and Chill Pill on their own. I think these are so pretty together.

That's it for today. I leave you an old pic of The Girl (rest in peace sweet girl) that I  found on my tablet. I still feel so sad that she is gone and miss her every day. I do love this picture if her. She was so cute and so loved by us.

Polish & Purrs,
