HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2013

Hello Tadpoles,
   I am going to try my best to do make a post everyday. I am going to start 2013 with a cool manicure.

   I bought the China Glaze's used in this manicure at Sally's while they were having a 50% discount. The base polish is China Glaze-634-Frostbite. The red is China Glaze-1110-Cranberry Splash. The glitter in my middle fingers is China Glaze-1120-Pizzazz. I used China Glaze-1118-Glistening Snow, as the tops of the champagne flutes on the pinkie of my left hand. I used Sally Hansen White as the froth of the beer mug on my right hand.

   I decided that I wanted to hand paint the "Happy New Year 2013" on my left hand. I have been trying to master this skill. I used China Glaze-1110-Cranberry Splash and my homemade small paintbrush to paint it.

   I am glad that this came out as well as it did. My Mom was excited and liked the mug and flutes. She is a hard cookie to impress. I used several stamping plates with this manicure: Cheeky 52 and 54, Gals GA 9, and MJ VIII.

   I hope that you enjoyed this manicure. I look forward to 2013. I wish everyone, " A GREAT YEAR".

XOXOXOXO,

Chrisie

Summer Chevrons...Stop the heat...

OMG!! Send me some ice. I thought that I was next to the equator today. It was hot as all get out today. The humidity is what is kill us in South Carolina. It is so bad that when you walk out the house it takes your breathe away...Hopefully the temps will change lower this weekend.
   The challenge on Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge was Summer Chevron. I attempted to use the tape method but that was a total fail. Thank Goodness that I had just went to Sally's and bought a large bottle of remover. 
   My husband, Daniel, came into the room where I was working. He started looking at my stamps. He posed a good question to me, "Why do you have to do what the normal chevron is?" I went through all the stamp plate that I had and this stamp jump (lol) out at me. I picked summer colors to use on the stamp.

    

    I love the way that the stamp colors work well with the purple base coat. 

  July 8th challenge is Toe's....Yuck. That is going to make everyone jump when I post those pictures...

  

  I have a question for everyone. What do you listen to while you are doing your nails? What helps you relax?

Have a hopping great weekend...
