My Kingdom For A Title!

Er, well, since I have no kingdom, I suppose it would be more like, "My nonexistent dream of a kingdom for a title!" But yeah, I couldn't think of anything really creative or whatnot, so you're stuck with that one. Well, *I* am stuck with that one. You can probably block it out with a little post-it note over the monitor or something. Wow, I think I've been too long without sleep, and it's affecting me quite a bit. So why don't we see what I put on my nails, and I'll try to rein in my inane ramblings.

Saturday Simplicity

Today I have a very simple mani to share with you, one that is easy and kinda elegant, I think. I've gone with a white base color, and done a konad stamp of a bow on each finger in blue. Sometimes it's nice to do something that isn't a whole bunch of stuff, and is just a fairly quick and easy mani, yet still looks pretty nice, in my opinion. Let's take a peek.

Greens Are Great

After yellow, green is one of my favorite nail polish colors. Oh, who am I kidding? I pretty much just love them all. Even the so-called ugly colors can be fun. As I've said many times, I'm kinda obsessed, just a tiny bit. Anyway, I've got a couple greens to share today, so let's get to it.

Dancing In The Dark

Today I've got a lovely blue glitter polish to share with you. It's from a new-to-me brand called Julie, and I added some art to make it even prettier (at least I think so). Since it's Saturday, I'm off to spend some time with The Mate and the dogs, so I'll keep it short and sweet. Let's get right into it.

Sunday Swatches (Not Really)

Well, I haven't had much time for swatching lately, so I thought I'd share something else today. Instead I have a few bad pictures of the Sally Hansen Salon Effects strips that I wore for a few days. Let's get right to it, I've got a busy day tomorrow and need to get ready. What's going on, you ask? The Mate is having his nose rebroken so they can get his septum back where it is supposed to be. Yikes. It's a same day surgery, but still, I'm worried, and of course I'll be waiting right there to see that everything comes out okay. Anyway, let's move on to the pictures.

I'm A Joiner!

Today I'm joining in a new project, or blog hop, or whatever you want to call it. Polly Polish is keeping track of things that bloggers want to do in unison basically, and today everybody that is joining is doing a post with #PolishGeometry. Look there's even a cool badge!

So, you should totally go check out all the other folks who have joined in, because I'm pretty certain they have come up with something far more creative than I have! But, I'm not complaining, more like bragging that I'm in the company of so many awesome bloggers! Well, let's see what I managed to get on my nails.

Wednesdays Rock!

Why yes, here it is, Wednesday again, and you know that that means, right? Of course you do!

Today's post is not only pink polish, but a little nail art as well. I'm a little proud of how it turned out, though I could have done better (hindsight being 20/20 and all that). So let's get in there and see what I've got!

Oh Look, Wednesday!

Now that I'm getting back to posting, I certainly want to start back with this feature... On Wednesdays We Wear Pink!

Today's color is from Sally Hansen's Salon line, and it's not really as pink as it probably should be. Haha. But with a name like Cherry, Cherry, Bang, Bang!, it should be pink, right? At least I think so. Go ahead and look, and you can decide for yourself.

Creeping In To Post

I'm just starting to catch up with myself a little, and thought I'd maybe sneak in a post in hopes it would motivate me to do more posting. I have about a billion pictures I need to edit, have been busy busy busy, and my time is limited, but I miss blogging for the person who does read. Or maybe three people. Whatever. Haha. I'll skip right past all the yucky stuff that has gone on and try to keep it positive because I don't want to be depressing. Or depressed. In addition to still being fairly addicted to nail polish, I've gotten addicted to fishing. Like, pretty obsessed. It's fun, actually kinda good exercise (I've lost 15 pounds, and that's the only thing different I've been doing), and The Mate and I can do it together. I mean, sure, he could do nails with me, but he's not into it, and doesn't really care for colorful nails. Tee hee hee.

So between the fishing, and the working on the junk around the house, and the dogs, I've kept pretty busy. But I still paint up my fingernails all pretty on a regular basis, and I've tried to keep taking decent pictures of them. I just need to do a BUNCH of editing, and get to posting them! Speaking of posting, today I thought I'd share a nice China Glaze polish that I like quite a bit. The color reminds me of the vegetation in the lake where I've been fishing a lot lately (I'll reserve my silly fish pictures for the other blog), and it's name is Near Dark. Let's take a peek.

A Neutral and A Red

So my giveaway is closed, and I'll have to get the drawing done, but I'll do it during the day tomorrow. I'm just going to post up a couple polishes for now to make up for missing the last couple days. I have a pretty good excuse though, I was getting a colonoscopy. Ewwwwww. Well, it wasn't the worst thing ever, and nothing terrible showed on it, so that works, I guess. But enough about my butt, that's not what you're looking for. Let's take a peek at Sally Hansen Tough Taupe and Picture Polish Vegas!

I Love To Read

So, since I love to read, you'd think that it would be so easy for me to come up with a book to inspire some nail art, right? But no, I just kept thinking of books and deciding that I just couldn't manage that one, or I didn't want to try this one, and so on. Finally one came to mind, but I was thinking that it would be ridiculous to use that one. However, after a few hours of not figuring out any other books, that one was still in my mind, so I went with it. What did I choose? Click the link and find out!

Sixteen Tons

Now, who among you starting thinking, "You load sixteen tons, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt."? If you did, then, you're welcome. Hee. So anyway, here we are at day 16 of the challenge, and it's the tribal print. I saw a picture on Tumblr that I thought was a good tribal print, and so I kind of tried to copy it. Not so sure I did a great job, but it was fun to try. Let's see how it turned out.

All I Got For Christmas...

Well, I say all, but it wasn't a ton of stuff. I can't sleep, so I thought I'd share my review of the Cult Nails base and top coats, which I used for the first time when I got Vicious from them back in September. I know, I know, I'm running way way behind on that, but as you may have noticed, life has been whompin' on me lately. It's all good though. I'm not gonna sit around and whine about the crud, I'm going to enjoy the wonderful good stuff. Let's jump in!

A Delicate Matter

Naw, not anything serious or whatnot, just that today's challenge is a 'delicate print', and I think I did okay on it. I'm still pretty wiped out from the excitement of the holiday, and stuffed full of leftovers. We went ahead and ordered the Bob Evans Holiday Feast To Go so that we wouldn't have to stand around cooking all day for just the two of us. It's a touch spendy (something like $75), but when you figure that it provides us with something like 4-5 full meals, it's not bad. We would spend more buying everything to make our meal anyway. It comes with a ham or turkey entree, corn, potatoes and gravy, rolls, cranberries, green beans, stuffing, pumpkin bread, a pie, and maybe another dish or so. We added carrots to ours, because their carrots are soooo good. You place your order ahead of time, and the day before the holiday (or a few days before if you plan it that way) you just bop on in and pick it up. Then all you have to do for the holiday is heat things up and eat! I add my own sweet potato casserole dishes, and any snacks we want to have on hand and we're all set. Once we've stuffed ourselves for a couple of days, I take some inexpensive plastic divided containers, and freeze the leftovers in meal-sized portions for reheating later. Then when I'm not feeling like cooking, we have some "tv dinners" that aren't so yucky.

So, back to the nail polish challenge. I liked this one enough to leave it on for two days, which I don't do very often. Let's see what it looks like!

HAPPY HAPPY HOLIDAY!

Real quick-like I'm dropping in to post my challenge mani, and to tell you all that I hope you are having an extremely happy holiday, whatever you celebrate. And if you're not celebrating anything, then I hope you're having a wonderful day.

Lions And Tigers And Bears... Oh, Just Tigers.

So, I chose to go with tiger stripes for my animal print challenge day. It's day 13, and it's also National Chocolate Day and National Egg Nog Day. I can get behind those! Heck, I can combine them and have chocolate egg nog! And if I drink enough of it, I'll have some realllllllly interesting posts. Muahaha. Nah, I really don't drink that much, and I doubt I'll have more than a cup anyway. So let's take a peek at the nails, and then we can all get back to holiday celebrations!

Happy Happy Birthday Baby!

Today marks sixteen years that my sweet Sarah Bera entered my life. I cannot imagine how my life would be changed without her (or any of my three monsters). I could write for hours and hours and paragraphs and paragraphs, and still not even come close to expressing how much she means to me. Not only that, but she impresses me as well, and makes me so proud to know her.

Go Figure!

So, Wednesday morning when I went to log onto my computer and do stuff, my monitor had blown up (well, maybe just stopped working), and I wasn't able to do Pink Wednesday. Or any posting. But, it's all worked out, and I have a system up and running again, so all is not lost. Anyway, even if my hard drive were to go kablooey, I have it all backed up. I've learned that lesson the hard way. Anyway, no more complaining, let's just look at pictures.

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!

Pink on Pink on Pink on Pink.

So as long as I was doing the peeeenk thing, I got just a touch carried away this week. I was just having too much fun! If I didn't think it would be too much, I'd probably have theme days for every day of the week and then some, but I can't commit to that many posts, because the whole life thing gets in the way. Hee. Anyway, let's see what kind of pink mani I managed for this Wednesday.
