A Dark Gradient

Bleah, Mondays, am I right? Not so much for me, since my work week is seven days a week, but for many folks Monday is a bit on the blah side. So I thought I'd share one way I can use my nails to cheer up my days. I went with a very dark base, and then turned it into a gradient manicure. Let's bop on in to take a look at what I've done.

Ten Days Of Blue For Wackita (Days 1 and 2)

We recently lost our first kitty to cancer, and after some recovery time from the grieving, I thought I'd honor her with ten days of blues. Today I'm going to show you days one and two. Wackita was such a character, and so much fun to have in our lives.

Saturday Shatterday!

Wow, so I'm sort of starting to get back into the swing of things around here. Still, I'd rather have the kids here all the time and never have online time if it were a choice. So anyway, I saved a couple of my Black Shatter NOTDs to share with you today, I think I'll make Shatterday kind of it's own day, like once or twice a month. I'm so totally NOT over the whole crackle thing, so if you are, you can feel free to skip these posts.

Oh Noez!

My TV seems to have blown out the bulb or whatever, so we're TV-less in the bedroom. Not that it's a huge deal, it's mostly just background noise anyway. We'll probably move our bigger TV up from downstairs one of these days. Besides, even though it's horribly hot and humid lately, we've been doing lots of other stuff. That doesn't mean I've neglected my nails, though, so I'm here to post some more pictures!

I Said I Wasn't Gonna.

How many times do we say we will do something, or will not, and later do the opposite? Well, I'm just as much a victim of that as anybody, and today proves it. I said I wasn't going to get a Twitter, and I wasn't going to Tweet, and it was all just so dumb... and so, I joined Twitter today. I'll put something up on the sidebar about it at some point. It's a totally unexpected name, even... OriginalWacky. Hahaha. I doubt I'll be super active, but hey, you never know.

I've got a few NOTD pictures to share, and then I think I'll try to post my review of the Viva La Nails stuff I got. Or at least what I've used, I haven't used all of it yet. I think I have a short attention span when it comes to nail art, but not too short. I just bounce around from one type to another, as the mood strikes. Oh, and I have a transport tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get pictures of that up early. Oooh, and my cholesterol is down quite a bit, so we might be able to get me started on some psoriasis medication! It hasn't been a bad day around here. So, let's enjoy just a few pictures.

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.

I'm Way Behind!

I haven't meant to neglect my blog, but things have just been busy around here. I'll get into the details later, when I have more time, but for now, I just want to share some of the manicures I did in June, so I can keep moving through the present. So let's just jump right on in!

May Flowers Bring June... Polish

Yeah, yeah, I know, May showers bring June weddings, but I'm as married as I'm getting for a good while. Common-law is good enough for us, and we're happy that way. Maybe someday we'll do the official thing, but it's not a big deal to us. Anyway, today I've got the first week's worth of manicures in June.

Let's Finish Off May.

With this post, I'll pretty much be caught up with pictures through May of this year, and can move ahead and try to post current pictures. It's a high pain day here, for both The Mate and I, so I'm struggling to work, and need to sit down for a while. I did have a lovely wrestling match with Krissie and Missy on the bed earlier, which never fails to make me smile.  I'll have to try and get better pictures of these goofy dogs, especially Jessie with her new cut n style. But let's take a look at the nail polish.

A few greens to start off May.

I'm getting all behind again, and have a bunch of doggy pictures to edit as well. But I thought I'd throw a few pretty manicures at you to tide you over while I get other stuff done. I've been super duper busy trying to work with the dogs so they'll get along well, and trying to get the house ready, because I'll have some extra special people here very soon! (Yes, I mean my kids!) So, here's some pictures to look at, and I'm going to get in bed, because getting up at 6AM means I'm tired a lot lately.

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.

Gobs of Greeens!

Green polish used to be rather "Out There", but it's getting more mainstream now. It's getting easier to find shades of green, even in lines of polish that are normally known as being more conservative. Well, today I am sharing pictures of some of the greens I have and love.
