Studs and Glitter

Good morning everyone!  I have a mani for you today that I am pretty much in love with!  I have been trying to wrack my brain to come up with some nail art ideas, and when I painted my nails with Julep Blake on Saturday, this came to me!  Come check it out!

Christmas Nails #4

Good morning dear readers!!  4 MORE SLEEPS!!  There is a present under the tree for me that I am DYING to open!  It's from Tyler and he keeps taunting me with it, so I can't wait to tear into it Christmas morning :)

I have another Christmas mani for you this morning, let's check it out!

Christmas Nails #1

Hello and Happy Two Weeks till Christmas!!  I can't believe we are so close!  Next week is my last week of work, and Tyler and I are getting our tree this weekend!  Yahoo!!  Now, let's just hope that Owen doesn't pull it down while we are away at work next week, and that I manage to get all my shopping done before it's too late!

I know I promised a bunch of Christmas nails for the month of December, but I have lost my polish mojo.. again.  I have done a few, so I will start with posting the first one I did - 

Late Hallowe'en Night Nails

Hey everybody!!  I'M BACK!!  I have most of the big details, like vendors, booked for the wedding, and I think I am safe to come back to blogging on a fairly regular basis :D

Let's get right to the nails, and then I will catch you up on everything I have been up to for the last month-ish.

Dot Shower Mani - Facebook Request

Good morning, happy Monday!  Tyler and I were looking at the weather forecast for this week and they are predicting wet flurries over night for all of this week :D  YIPPEE!!!  (Yes, I'm sick in the head, it's all good ;) )

Today I have a mani I did a while back (and the last of my "draft" posts) that was suggested to me by a Facebook fan and friend, Kim!  I asked my followers to send me links of manis they wanted me to try to replicate and she was the only one with suggestions, and she continues to send me suggestions from time to time.  Here was the inspiration for this mani.  Let's take a look at what I did :)

Sindie POP! Summer Sadness

Happy Saturday everyone!  Thursday night I came home from work to find TWO parcels in the mail box - both from Amber.  One was chuck-full of all of the polishes she's been hoarding for me from people who won't ship to Canada, and the other was full of Hallowe'en candy and treats!!  Gotta love bootleggers ;)  Check out what I got!

a England Galahad, Sindie POP! Summer Sadness, Elevation Polish Owen, China Glaze Keep Calm Paint On, Lush Lacquer Clowning Around, Aly's Dream Polish Cheeky Lychee, Deborah Lippmann Do the Mermaid, OPI Ogre the Top Blue

Happy Thanksgiving

Good afternoon lovely readers!  I am doing up this post quickly before I have to get ready for going to Tyler's mom's for dinner... mmmmmturkey!!

I thought I would do my nails to celebrate Thanksgiving!  And was high-time for a water marble because I haven't done a water marble for a while, and I came up with something perfect!!  Come check it out!!!

Hallowe'en Mani #3

Good morning and Happy Thursday!!  Last day of the work week for me, and it's that much closer to Turkey weekend here in the Great White North!  Yahoo!!  I love turkey dinners - aside from all things pasta, turkey is my favourite meal.  But you have to have all the trimmings - stuffing, potatoes, turnip, coleslaw, peas, gravy... and grandma's homemade apple pie *drool*  My cousins and I are in charge of dessert this year, so not sure if we will get some of grandma's apple pie.  I think it's high-time I got the recipe from her, no?

Alrighty, onto the nails!  This is the third Hallowe'en mani I have done, and I love the look of them every time I see them, so of course I had to do them again this year - Candy Corn Nails!

Marble Flocking Powder Mani

Evening folks.  If you know me well enough by now, you will know that I definitely got distracted on Sunday after publishing my post.. so I didn't get any extras written up *slaps own wrist* Bad llama!  Anyways, I wrote this up while at work Monday so I could stick the pictures in and publish it as soon as I got home and here were are on Wednesday morning... *sigh*

Today I have for you a mani I did not this past weekend, but the weekend before.  I have been meaning to do this kind of mani for a long time now, ever since I saw it in a picture on Facebook, which I can't for the life of me find now!  I should have pinned it!  This is a "marble" flocking powder mani!

Swatch-It-Up-Saturday Sep 14

Good morning lovely readers!  I hope everyone is staying snuggled up this morning!  It's a whopping 4°C here this morning and there was a heavy layer of frost out in the country - I'm working this morning and my mom was telling me on the way in to work :)  And you know what that means!!  Winter is coming!!! :D  YAY!!!

It's yet another Swatch-It-Up-Saturday!  Come check out all the swatches I have been hoarding!  There are LOTS, so let's get right to it, shall we?

X is for X-plosion

Happy Friday everyone!  I can't believe the change in temperature between today (barely 10°C) and this past Tuesday/Wednesday (30-35°C, felt more like 40°C)!  Fall is definitely in the air!

Today I have for you my X mani for the ABC Challenge!  It's the 3rd last week this week ... wow!  Time is going by way too fast!

W is for Winnie the Pooh Water Marble

Evening everyone!  I'm so glad it's a long weekend so I don't have to go to work tomorrow :D  That and today wasn't a very productive day, so I'm glad I have another "do-over" day :)

Tonight I have my "W" mani for the ABC Nail Art Challenge!  There are only 4 weeks left of the Challenge, I can't believe we are this close to the end already!  So much has happened in the last 20+ weeks!  Let's get to it, shall we?

City of Bones

Morning everyone!  It's the weekend!!  Later this afternoon, Tyler and I are going to watch City of Bones with some friends, and spend the night to have a BBQ with the same friends tomorrow night :)  So, of course, in celebration of watching the movie tonight, I did my nails to match :)  I asked on the Facebook page what you guys thought I should do, and Amber-Marie suggested doing some runes on my nails, and linked me this photo.  Here is what I came up with ...

U is for Union Jack

Evening readers!  I am super excited about this mani I'm about to show you that I can't wait until tomorrow to post it!  This is the one that I have been most excited about since I started the ABC Nail Art Challenge, so let's jump right into it!

U is for Union Jack

S is for Scallops

Hey everybody!  I am SOOOOO sorry for being absent over the last week.  I seem to be in a bit of a funk :\  I'm going to work on getting my act together and get to posting frequently again.

Today I have for you my late "S" mani for the ABC Nail Art Challenge!

Swatch-It-Up-Saturday July 27

Hello lovely readers!!  How many of you are still up?!  This girl is soon heading to bed, just waiting on mom and dad to stop in to pick something up on their way home and I will be hitting the hay.

I have a quick, and very late, Swatch-It-Up-Saturday post for you.

Q is for Quilt Patch

Evening lovely readers!!  I hope you have all had a wonderful week!  I have so many pictures of manis built up, but not enough time to work on posting them :(  So sorry!!!  I hope to get some stuff done blog-wise this weekend, but I don't know if that will happen :\  I just ask that you bare with me another couple of weeks, and I will try to be back on some sort of posting schedule :)

Tonight I have for you my (better late than never) Q mani for the ABC Nail Art Challenge!

Make It Stick Nail Decal Tutorial

Decals were sent to me for review from Make It Stick Designs.

Howdie ladies and gents!  I hope your week has been good to you!  I have something a little different for you today.  Back when I did my first post using Make It Stick Designs nail decals, I told you that I would (eventually) do a how-to post.  Well, today is the day!!

O is for Ombre

Happy Sunday!  I did have a Swatch-It-Up-Saturday post to do for yesterday, but ran out of time, so it's going to have to wait until next weekend :)  I do have my "O" mani for this week's letter for the ABC Challenge though!
