Wonderful Water Decals

Hello Chickadee's! Just because I lost all my recent photos doesn't mean I cant take more :). Today's manicure is from the tried and true pile Sinful Colors Vacation Time with a twist, my first attempt with water decals.

 

Disarray :(

Hello Chickadee's! Unfortunately I've been having numerous technological issues recently. Tonight's is that google docs decided to randomly arrange my stash spreadsheet. So for the time being I will be leaving it up but it is not properly organized and should not be replied upon. I will be working to make sure everything gets back to its proper place soon.  

 

My primary computer has also decided to self destruct. I believe my information is still intact but it will not boot or charge :(. This means all the photos from the past month that had not been uploaded to my cloud are unavailable to post. Its not as though I'm a frequent poster but it shall likely remain quiet around here as I resolve these issues.

 

In a more positive surge I have had some wonderful mail mail lately. Which has included many indies such as LynBDesigns, Candied Lustre, Mentality, and BellsKandi. Some beauty store hauls include the China Glaze Neon Ombre collection (Chasing The Sun) and other assorted neon's.

 

Luckily I did have the opportunity to upload the shots of my Candies Lustre Polish. Which I will be back to show you soon.

 

Hope your having a wonderful night in the blogiverse XOXO.

The Swatch Project Part 1

Good afternoon Chickadee's! Well probably evening by the time this goes live. Finally getting started on "the swatch project" and want to share the results as I go. Since my Second set of Fiskars craft scissors arrived last night I figure why not start there. Below are numbered samples of the Classic and Contemporary sets.

Treat Week

Good evening Chickadee's! Finally getting to the end of the month and the conclusion of my restricted buy! Going to be doing another next month with new restrictions but hey take the small victories right? Here is what Ive scored this week thanks to gift cards, coupons, and sales.

 

LVX Special Feature 30's Throwback

Boy oh boy am I behind! A few months ago I was lucky enough to be one of the winners of the LVX Winter Resort 2013 collection and Ive been wanting to do a special feature ever since. But as I'm sure you all know when a craving hits you must satisfy it and I have been in a jelly and tape mani mood so it took me a while to get to these. Tonight you will be seeing Tribute and Luxe in a 1930's style moon mani.

 

This manicure is a multitasker :). Its blue for Autism Awareness month (April), my LVX special feature, and a new technique for me (the moon).

 

New Feature!

Good evening Chickadee's! If you check the bottom of each post you will now see a few new buttons. I have added the "reactions" feature to the blog today. So now even if you aren't the comment type you can show a little love with one simple click :).

 

 Thanks for reading XOXO

Bling It On!

Alright folks photobucket decided to have a cooperative moment today so I finally have something to post :)! The upcoming photos are of my last manicure, a tape mani glitter bomb.

 

 

Working On it...

Well I did my part. I did the manicure,  I cleaned it up, I took photos, I made room on this ancient beast to download them, and I uploaded them to photobucket for copping and watermarking.....Now if only photobucket would cooperate :(. So for now I've written down which ones are worth editing and hope photobucket decides my pleading overtures are worthy.

 

After losing an hour and a half of work I figured I better quit before I threw this poor box who's done nothing wrong but display that forsaken service. I wish my experience with Picasa has bee better, or I had room and a compatible version of photoshop. There is a tape manicure in the future but of a yet to be known to myself later date.

 

Hope its a good night in your world XOXO.

 

ETA: In happier news I was the lucky recipient of TWO giveaways in the past week! One nail related (a indie brand Ive been wanting to try) and one skin care.

Neglect

I feel bad for my poor neglected little space in the blogiverse. No recent photos, so not much to say :(. I feel that I've lost my mani mojo recently. Last two mani's were absolutely not photo worthy. Last nights went better but I scratched it before I could take any pictures as it was raining all morning. I think top coat can fix it so you may be seeing some Barielle Do Unto Others soon :).

 

Since my neck spasm I've been spending more time on my NPR hobbies such as beading and woodworking. Easier to do than my nails with my head stuck leaning to the right and unable to turn left. Getting better though and soon I can get back to some fun nail art. I'm feeling in the mood for a dot manicure I think.....

 

What are you all up to out in the world? Have a great evening XOXO
