Guest Nails by (drumroll, please!) my niece Katy Clare!

Darling girl that I can't believe has been married, what, 5 years? and has my sister's one and only and larger-than-life grandchild, Danny! I made a franken I arrogantly called "Stairway to Heaven" and sent it off to her. Since then, she has worn it over black, frenched the tips then did a new mani with STH as the base and Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Rose Petal french tips- presenting, for your viewing pleasure, my niece and your hostess, Katy!:

You need this for the info (and a good laugh!)

Out of Ideas-

So my brilliant daughter at college suggested I try a "Theme" week/month. So here you go- Golds! I love gold, rarely wear silver except as an accent, so this first one is the beautiful GR8 from China Glaze. It's the only one of the OMG collection I could afford on ebay besides FYI. It's a yellow-gold linear holo, actually, I think it's the weakest of the collection, but still gorgeous in it's own right. Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone and had to dot it up with Nubar Conserve, a deep teal glassfleck. This is two coats over NfuOh Aqua Fix base and one topcoat of Out the Door. The tc does dull the holo a bit, but not nearly as much with China Glaze as it does the NfuOh holos.

This will make you feel good about yourself!

My naked nails:
They are yellow from staining, but I won't bother to buff them out because I am just painting them again....yellow! My poor middle fingers won't grow well- I had two major surgeries last year (11 days total in the hospital) and anesthesia is murder on my nails- still trying to recover from menopause! hehe
I pretty much keep the oval shape- it works best for me, my nails curve too much when I try to shape them square.

In my Early Days.....oh yeah, over the summer.....

This was done with a base of, you guessed it, China Glaze For Audrey with assorted other polishes for the color- I have acrylics, but I somehow seem to gravitate towards using all polish- it's harder, but I like how the polishes look together! Paula modeling- (again!)
