This is NOT an April fools joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My day started out like this...

Sally Hansen Honeydew

Then I had a flat tire. Where I live we have very narrow winding mountain roads, so when you have a flat tire you do not wait for AAA or call someone to come change your tire. Chances are some idiot will come speeding around a turn and crash into you. So I changed my tire, I'm actually quite skilled at it. Long nails and car repairs do not go well together...at all! I managed to get covered in mud (actually red clay) ruining my favorite jeans and broke 6 nails. Karma what did I do wrong?

So after whining the majority of the day and Chris threatening to cover my hands in manuer and miracle grow, I decided to make the most of a sad situation. I never could do a full nail konad until now.

I always wanted to do a full on sluty fishnet full nail konad.

Base color is OPI Met on the internet (which we did). Konad image plate m57 stamped using Wet n wild black creme. I'm still having trouble with coverage due to the strong curve of my nails but I'm satisfied with this for now. It cheered me up a little and Chris says it's sexy as hell.

My hands gained 10 lbs.

See the pretty pink shimmer.

Missed a spot

I guess you all get to watch and see how fast my nails really grow.

Just a hint on how long it's been since my nails were this short, Chris had never seen my nails this short.

I think probably 10 years or more.

I hope April fools day didn't get the best of any of you!

Mermaid Nail Art Failure

I'm a little sad over this one, I had it pictured in my head and I'm not sure yet where I killed it.

The Idea was to look like the scales of a Mermaids tail.

I used Nina Pro Mermaid over white as my base color. Mermaid is a beautiful sheer pale sparkly green.

I Stamped using konad image plate m57 and China glaze Strawberry fields. Double stamping is not easy and the curve of my nails makes the full nail images impossible. Then I sponged a nameless Sally Hansen sheer sparkly pink from the tip up toward the cuticle. Then lightly sponged mermaid over all.

Pictures are taken indoors in my wonky lightbox.

Look at the pretty shimmer!

I will try this again!

Punk Princess distressed mani

Here is my insipiration for this manicure.

I used Finger Paints Strawberry Shake for my base

Wet n wild black creme for the stamp and the striping, Konad plate m57 and some tiny silver stick on nail decals for my studs.

I am all about studs! (the studded part was inspired by my favorite black leather studded bracelete that is too funky to post pics of)

My favorite lippie UD Voodoo!

This time I wanted the distressed look however the full nail images are very dificult to do on my nails for a couple of reasons, 1- my nails are too long 2-my nailbeds are too narrow

3-

This is the natural curve of my nails

4-

see way too much curve in da claws. I wish there were a way to decrease the curve but this is what I have and I'll work with them.

Now the very best part of my day was that about an hour after I took these my thumb nail snapped half way back in my nail bed and also across the right tip and I was at my Son's ENT so no choice but to cut it. :(

So you'll be getting thumbless pictures for a while. It's getting cold and dry here which makes my nails very brittle any suggestions would get you a great big hug!
