I realized earlier...

I realized earlier that I didn't have one of the new flaky polishes that I want so badly (because I am obsessive and crazy), so I called Sally's (expecting a recording) to get their hours. Literally at 11:45 pm someone answers the phone and helps me. She was all, "Sally Beauty Supply, how may I help you?" And I was just like, "Are you kidding?" LOL She was totally nice. I can't even believe that. They were just in doing some sort of thing - not open to the public. She did NOT have to answer the phone, but she did! 😃 And they open at 9 in case you were wondering. Just wow. 😳

It's been a "blah" kind of day.

It's been a "blah" kind of day. Woke up with a headache that I couldn't shake and had to go get my coochie probed (woohoo for yearly stuff - but at least Dr. Daniels was upbeat and happy, as always). I had a restful weekend, but I've been tired all day. I think the flakies on my nails have been the best thing about today. I didn't know that they were so many colors until I was out in the daylight and then BOOM! There was the rainbow. 🙂 However goofy it sounds - this is why I don't just cut them off and leave them bare. You always have you hands with you, right?

Did these last night with Mary Beth and Nancy.

Did these last night with Mary Beth and Nancy. Just some cheapy mushroom color from Wal-Mart with my new SUPER-FLY flaky polish on top. I didn't want to stamp my whole nail with the pattern I was supposed to use because it would cover up my pretty flakies too much so I taped it off and did a section. I like it when my nails don't match totally so I thought this was pretty cool. 🙂

Excited about doing nails...

Excited about doing nails with Mary Beth and Nancy tomorrow. MB doesn't know it yet, but SHE'S GONNA WEAR SOME GLITTER! 😛 I don't care if it comes off on Monday - it's about having something you like to look at until it's gone. 😃

Houndstooth!

Houndstooth! If I was into sports I would have painted all but the accent nail crimson and done the pattern on that one in black and white. Any Bama fans need their nails painted? 😛

Got to watch a dog spay and neuter today...

Got to watch a dog spay and neuter today in preparation for the SAVE event in February. It was kind of gross, but not too bad. Can't wait to see how it goes next Thursday!

The rest of the day was CRAZY - with a thousand things to do at work and one VERY uncooperative computer.

Glad to be home. Gonna veg out with Shadow, watch some TV, and do my nails. Gotta shake it off and get ready for tomorrow!

I've been happy all day...

I've been happy all day for no particular reason. Then it only got better. 😀 Came home and Mary Beth and Jack gave me an AWESOME hat, scored some pretty colors on clearance at Wal-Mart, AND they had the tea I wanted so bad! And tomorrow I get to watch a neuter surgery! Woohoo! Now I'm off to clean Niq's place and mayhaps do my nails. 🤎

Last one for the night.

Last one for the night. I've never met a white polish that I like, and the one I own is no exception. Blegh. It was SO goopy, and took forever to dry. Anyway, Shadow picked these colors. I think the design reminded him of ninja stars or something. LOL I didn't even want to post these because of the sloppy paint job and the black smudges, but I am just not up for doing it over. When you stamp, you get the extra polish from the image everywhere, and the black didn't clean up without a fight. Oh well.

I thought this pattern looked kind of lacy, so I went with a nude-ish base. Made me think of lingerie. LOL

I did a bunch of nails this past weekend.

These are Janet's - hands down - my favorite of all. 😁 I love skittles (different colored nails), but I am not so great at picking color combos. Thankfully, Janet had that part under control. I think these turned out absolutely adorable!
