This Week's Color!

So very glad your here. 

This week's color is a blue-black from the OPI San Francisco

collection. 

Incognito In Sausalito

Having lots of fun wearing this and loving it! 

Do you wear super dark colors?

I also wanted to let you know that I'm working on a couple of Bible Journal posts. 

One will be How, What, When and Where and the second one will be the tools that I like best.

Keep an eye out for it..... 

And thank you guys for asking for it. 

So go have a good evening!

Color Of The week!

OPI has a new collection out!

It's called Venice and you can check it out here.

I used some restraint and only picked one color.

Worth A Pretty Penne

This was a very quick drying polish. Unfourtunatly it

hasn't worn as well as most of my OPI polishes do. 

None the less, the color is beautiful on. Kind of a 

rose gold. 

Monday's Manicure

Oh! My! Gosh! 

August is finally here,

but will the heat ever come to an end? 

Well, at least we're in the bottom half of the summer!

I picked a super hot summer color this week.

Go With The Lava Flow from the OPI Hawaii collection

Love it! Lots of color and great wearing too. 

Monday's Manicure

Hi Friends! 

How are you this week? 

I'm busy but I wanted to pop in and show this 

week's manicure. 

OPI DS Reflection'

Love it.... this picture was just taken and the manicure is 

5 days old! 

Hope you enjoy your evening!

Monday's Manicure

Hi Ya!

This week's mani is brought to you by 

OPI'S DS Classic

Okay, so after wearing this for several days, 

I have to ask myself, why do I ever wear anything but OPI nail polish? 

I love the way 2 coats gives you a great finish.

Love the sparkle!

Not sure if the camera catches it... Can you see it?

One other item.... A couple of ladies have asked me 

how do I store all my nail products and tools? 

Here it is.... this is a craft box that I bought at The Container Store.

As you can see ... it keeps everything nice and neat. 

Next week I'll show you where and how I store my polish.

Monday's Manicure or Monday's Mash-Up???

Hey Friend! 

Glad you popped in. 

This week's mani is a Frankenstein or maybe even more of a Mash-up. 

I really am being good about not buying any new colors. So I hope 

you aren't disappointed in not seeing in new reviews. 

I'm just trying to be creative with what I have.

I think your going to be surprised at how many colors this really is!

GOSH! Love the shine in that top coat....

Okay! Here you go! 

Coney Island Cotton Candy - OPI on the forefinger, pinky and thumb

Glamour Purse - Essie on the ring finger and middle finger

All fingers got one top coat of As Gold As It Gets - Essie

and then one coat of Shine Of The Times - Essie

All topped off with a coat of SecheVite Fast Dry Top Coat.  

Monday's Manicure

Hey there!

Super quick update on the weekly mani. :) 

Brought to you by OPI  2 coats of My Vampire is Buff

2 coats of Who Needs a Prince (for a gasoline finish)

And then finally Sugar Rush by Milani on my ring finger.

Love that stuff! It's like fun-fetti!

I'm Staring to new summer reads.....

Yes.... I picked them both based on their cover! (oh, the shame)

From the back of the book:

Three women’s lives are about to change because of a few delicate pieces of china...When Jenny Davis comes across a beautiful vintage tea set at an outdoor market in the English countryside, she’s convinced it’s fate. A young bride on a budget, she has her heart set on a vintage tea-party theme for her wedding—and the gorgeous gold-rimmed china before her is perfect. There’s only one problem. Two other women have fallen in love with it, too. So they come up with a solution: They’ll share it.

They establish a sisterhood, sharing the ups and downs of their lives—from broken hearts and weddings, to family drama and career dreams. When a figure from Jenny’s past threatens to ruin her big day, Alison’s teenage daughter pushes her to the limit, and Maggie’s romantic life is thrown into turmoil, the members of the Vintage Teacup Club band together—proving their newfound friendship will last a lifetime.

AND

From the back of the book:

Brokenhearted and still mourning the loss of her husband, Heidi travels with Abbott, her obsessive-compulsive seven-year-old son, and Charlotte, her jaded sixteen-year-old niece, to the small village of Puyloubier in the south of France, where a crumbling stone house may be responsible for mending hearts since before World War II.

There, Charlotte confesses a shocking secret, and Heidi learns the truth about her mother’s “lost summer” when Heidi was a child. As three generations collide with one another, with the neighbor who seems to know all of their family skeletons, and with an enigmatic Frenchman, Heidi, Charlotte, and Abbot journey through love, loss, and healing amid the vineyards, warm winds and delicious food of Provence. Can the magic of the house heal Heidi’s heart, too?

Have you started your summer reading list? 

Do share!

Monday's Manicure

Hello! 

Happy St. Patrick's day to you. 

Today's mani is by OPI. 

Gargantuan Green Grape. 

What can I say? It's OPI and goes on like 

a dream. 

I hope you are having a great week!

Hey There!

Oh Gosh! 

Has it been more than a week since I posted anything? 

Yes... yes it has. Sigh.

I'm sorry.

Any way! 

Here is last week's mani. 

OPI Gouda Gouda Two Shoes

One of my all time favorite colors... EVER! 

One of those great neutral browns that looks good with 

everything.

This week is two new Zoya colors.

The light green is called Sage and it is part of the new

line and has a "satin" finish. Not matte and not glossy. 

I'm not in love with it, to be honest. I have a hard time liking

the flat polish and I just love the gloss finishes. 

The dark color is called Remy 

And let me say this is one of the most beautiful polishes I

have ever seen. At one angle it's blue, then teal, then emerald.

I'm pretty sure that I'll be wearing it for St. Patties Day! 

Monday's Manicure.... a little late

Hi my polished friends!

Just popping in to show you this weeks mani. 

Sorry to be so late! eeeek! Is it Wednesday already?

Where does the week go?

This weeks color is by OPI ...Incognito In Sausalito 

It is from the San Francisco collection a couple of years ago.

It looks black, but its actually a very, very, very, dark navy blue. 

While I like it.... I'm not looking forward to the removal. 

These types of colors have a tendency to stain. Yuck! 

Any helpful types out there?

So I hope you have a great week. 

I'm working on a couple of book reviews and another craft project.

Talk to you soon!

Monday's Manicure

Hey hey! 

How you guys doing?

This weeks mani is a dotticure. 

Isn't that fun?

Easily achieved with dotting tools. There are lots of tutorials on 

Youtube. Very easy and fun.

base color - Parka Perfect by Essie

blue dots - Mint Candy Apple by Essie

white dots - My Vampire is Buff by OPI

silver dots - Silver Glitter Nail Art Paint by Kiss

So that's it. 

I hope you are having a wonderful week!
