Ocean Mani and a baby

If you've been paying much attention, you know by now that I have several children.  Four, to be exact - one little princess and a few little froggies, too.  Her bokeh face has appeared in my minicure posts on occasion, and here's a little peek at the youngest.

These little people make my world wonderful, crazy, and a bit maddening at times.  The nails you spy are Sally Hansen "Mint Sorbet", Zoya "Breezi", Northern Lights "Silver Hologram", and OPI "Last Friday night".

Now, please excuse me...I have to go chase this little crawler before he finds my nail polish stash!

Patriotic Minis, Manis, and Pedis!

Well, we're off camping for the weekend...don't worry, loves, I've set up a couple of manis to post automatically while I'm gone!  But in preparation for the weekend, we did our nails today!  As a bonus, you get a video of my hobbit toes!  Yay, you!

Here's my darling daughter's festive mani/pedi combo!  Normally, she's not allowed to wear bright red or too bold of colors, so she is SUPER excited, lol.

 We used a shimmery Sally Hansen red, and Sally Hansen "Distressed Denim" over OPI "Last Friday Night" for the toes.

My mani was nice in theory, but took FOREVER to get the striping done.  I just wasn't patient enough between layers for a scotch tape mani, and had to redo it about a dozen times.  Oy.  But it turned out nice!  I used Zoya "Ibiza" and "Sooki" for the blue and red.

Now, for my hobbit toes video debut...I had to use a video for this one, because you can only get the full "fireworks" effect with movement.  Sorry for all the bg noise, you should mute it - I live in apts, and the neighbors were being kinda loud!

 That's it for now, kids!  Now go light off some fireworks and remember that freedom comes at a price, and we are lucky to have it!   Happy 4th of July!

Like a dream. On drugs. I think...I've never done drugs.

This Manicure was inspired by my shirt today.  Except it's blue, not brown.  And there's glitter instead of sequins.  And it kind of doesn't look like it at all. 

 It features Zoya "Brizia" as the base, a pretty neutral mauvy color.  And, over that, a couple from my haul this weekend:  LA girl "Punk", which is an awesome indigo/teal/purple glitter that you can expect a swatch of soon. And, OPI "Last Friday Night", which is a super chunky blue glitter.

 

I don't normally go for the super glittery freehand stuff myself.  Mostly because the 4 imps running the house don't give me time, but I'm pretty pleased with it.
