PAA’s Monday Nail Art Challenge

A while back I joined a group on Facebook called Polish-aholics Anonymous, which was created by Traci from The Trace Face Philes.  It’s basically a group of women who love polish and nail art who came together to share their obsession.  It’s a great place to chat about nails if that’s what you are into and what I like most …

Zebra Stamping

The other day I wanted to try something cool with some Lego stickers my husband had.  I was going to paint my nails white and add the stickers to the nail and put a topcoat over, it was all very cool in my head.  It didn’t work out quite as I had hoped… The stickers were a little too thick, …

Givaway Win Nail Art

I’m really milking this giveaway win, aren’t I?! I loved these polishes so much I wanted to try to do something fun that included all three. Cute, huh?  I just love it! I really like dotting, I can imagine it would be even more fun with the proper dotting tools, rather than my homemade jobbies. I was going to take …

Giveaway Win Swatches

Here are some swatches of the polish I won from Traci’s giveaway. In case you missed it, these are the polishes I won. Pretty hot, right?! This is two coats of It’s Up To Blue. I really like this color a lot!  I’m so weird about blues at the moment though after getting serious staining (even with a base coat) …

Autumn in the Veluwezoom

I can’t believe I didn’t share my photos of the Veluwezoom!  I was looking into the archives of my blog to find the photos and realized I never posted it, how can that be? Back in November Xander and I got together with our friends Candace and Fran for a photo walk through the Veluwezoom.  It was so beautiful and …

Cherry Blossom Nail Art

A while back I saw some Cherry Blossom Nail art by Kayla Shevonne, and I loved it!  I may have pestered her a bit asking for a tutorial and last week she totally came through!  She made it look so easy, but she is an evil trickster! I tried twice and mine didn’t look nearly as good as hers. I’m …

Giveaway Nail Mail!

I won my first giveaway! Sweeeeet! I was one of three winners in Traci’s 200 Follower Giveaway!  Today a received Orly’s It’s Up To Blue, Oh Cabana Boy, and Shine.  I love the bottles, with the rubbery handles… I need to think of something cool to do using the three colors together. To be honest, after filling out so many …

My First Franken: Space Dream

Wow, a lot of firsts on this blog… guess that’s part of being a newbie! I’ve been reading a lot on Facebook and other people’s blog about ‘Frankens’  … basically, polishes that people create by mixing existing polishes they already have.  I don’t have a lot of polish but I did have a few old ones that I never use, …

This is Some Politics I Can Get Behind!

A few years ago I plowed through the entire series of The Wire and absolutely loved it.  I tried to get my husband to watch it with me but he can be quite difficult when it comes to trying to nail him down to get him to watch a show.  There are very few that can capture and keep hold …

The Best Pet Product to Ever Happen to Us

Before I tell you exactly what the product is, let me give you a bit of a background… We’ve always known that our dogs bark when we aren’t home and would always try to be out for 3-4 hours at most, so that they could go in their crates.  They love their crates and are happy and silent when they …

Gosh: Green Hawaii

This bottle has been hanging around in my stash for about two months now, and I kept meaning to give it a go but each time there was something else I’d get distracted with.  Today I finally got around to trying it and I’m a little torn. On the one hand I really like the green and the glitter, but …
