Sunday Swatches - Maybellines

Well, technically it's still Sunday to me, even if it's after midnight. But until I go to sleep, it's still Sunday in my book. And I want to share the swatches of the lovely Maybelline colors I picked up a while back. So let's just get right to them!

It Ain't Easy Bein' Green.

Nah, I'm not posting anything Muppet related, just love saying that. However, I do have day four of the challenge here, and the color is, as you may have guessed, green! Also of note, today is National Lemon Cupcake Day (dammit, it should have been yesterday, that would have gone great with my yellow!), so I think we should all have cupcakes! Of course, I like chocolate ones better than lemon, but whatever, I wouldn't turn down free lemon cupcakes. So, let's see how my green looked.

Ten Days Of Blue For Wackita (Days 7 and 8)

Today I have another light blue, and an ollllld polish to share with you. As you may recall, these posts are to honor ten years of Wackita being in our lives. Since she had one blue eye, and we're blue without her, I thought ten days of blue would be a lovely way to how how much we loved her.

Cult Nails Hypnotic Collection!

Another collection full of fabulosity from Maria at Cult Nails! Yeah, I know I'm behind a ways, but to do her polishes justice I can't just slop it on any old way. These polishes are high end, like when you save up to buy that fantastic sports car you've always dreamed of. Okay, so they aren't the most expensive of all, but they are special. And I'm not getting anything out of saying that other than knowing that I believe these to be high caliber polishes that deserve to be loved. If you know me, you'll know that I'm not going to sell out for nail polish, no matter how addicted I am. So let's take a look at these beauties!

Maybelline Monday!

Nah, this isn't going to be a feature or anything, but I do have a couple Maybelline polishes to share with you. I have about 7 billion pictures I need to edit too (I might be exaggerating a little bit) so that I can post those. Let's get right to it!

I Was Getting Artsy!

I love the gradient type of manicures, and so I had to try that yet again. I also discovered some nail art on DeviantArt, and thought it would be fun to try some of those out, so these next few manis are definitely nail art as opposed to just plain colors. I'm rather proud of them.

NOTDs to Peruse.

Just to keep you in suspense a little longer, here are some NOTD pics, from the beginning of November.

Ooh Look, Some Swatches!

I know, I know, it's about time, right? Yeah, I've been super busy with everything here. A couple random things that you may or may not care about:

Missy was in to the vet today because of her behavior changes recently. We did find hookworms, so all the critters are getting wormed. We're hoping that pain from that is what is causing her to be a snot, but if it isn't, I've also sent her blood into Hemolife for a full thyroid screen and other bloodwork. Thyroid issues are one of the first things to rule out in unexpected random aggression, and this would qualify as that. Luckily, she hasn't gotten truly mean or anything, just growly and cranky. And only with the dogs, which helps too.

The other thing is that with autumn coming on, and taking us to winter, we get more sore, and less sociable than we already are. Sometimes this leads to me having more time online, and others it takes away, as I struggle to get things done, and keep The Mate from falling any further into depression as his ability to get around is curtailed even more. So, if my posts get more scarce, that's why... and if I suddenly get logomania, that is explained as well.

Anyway, let's get to the swatches, so that you can see some color. I've got a pink collection from Claire's, and some of the fall Maybellines.

Some manicure Pictures... and Wildlife!

As long as I'm sitting here trying to wake up, I'll share some more manicure pictures with you. And, a surprise guest that showed up in our back yard last week. Let's jump right in!

Let's Play A Little Catch-Up.

I've been remiss recently at posting my manicures, because I've been pretty busy. And I have a bunch of other stuff to post as well. Anyway, I've got about a week's worth of pictures to share today, and I hope I can manage to get back up to date tomorrow.

Closing out June, finally.

Today I'll share the rest of my June manicures, and the last few transports I've done. I'm thinking about doing some work on the layout as well, and maybe I'll start doing something along the lines of "A Blog A Day" to feature some of the amazing blogs out there. Although I do tend to focus on nail polish and rescue animals more than anything else, this blog is rather a catch-all for me, and I'm fairly committed to making it interesting somehow. Also, I'd like to keep it interesting by changing things up. We'll see what I can come up with. For now, let's just look at the pictures.

More June Manicures.

I'm still catching up with pictures from June, which just happens to be my birthday month.  So these are the pictures up to and including my birthday. My birthday dinner this year was pizza, so that nobody would have to cook. What can I say? I'm easy. Wait, that doesn't sound right. Well, anyway, let's get on to the pictures.

March of the Manicures, or something.

I'm totally on a roll, so I'm going to catch up some more before I leave on my transport for the day. Hopefully I will have good pictures of dogs to share later tonight. Or maybe tomorrow, as I get busy when I get home, catching up with the chores I haven't done yet.

How about some fun nail pictures?

With all the stress around here lately, you'd think I'd really want to get into pictures to distract myself, but I've mostly just been doing my nails quick and getting to bed. I spent a couple of hours installing hardware on the walls so that I could gate off separate areas of the house, and now the dogs can be kept totally apart while we figure out what else we can do. Worst case scenario? We have to keep them apart until Jessie goes to the Rainbow Bridge.

So anyway,let's get back to catching up on the pictures I've taken of my nails so far this year. We're done with January, so February, here we come!

Finishing off the first month

I'm still awake, even though I will be getting up early, so I thought I'd share the rest of the manicures I managed to do in January. We've had some awesome thunder and lightning here tonight, and apparently it's going to rain a lot in the next few days, so I suspect I'll have plenty of time to post. At least, I sort of hope so. So, let's get to the pictures.

Coral, Orange, Pink, Red... More nail pictures ahead.

As I've said before, I don't tend to wear the colors in these shades as often as others, so I'm combining them into one post... well, I guess this is two posts now. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these. I should totally be in bed asleep, but I wore myself out on chores because I was in high gear, and am still all wired up.
