New Day, good stuffs

Hi Everyone, thank you so much for all your kind comments. I was pouting publicly and I apologize for that- won't happen again.
I love this community. You all rock so hard and are all so cool...we're all so different but come together for this love of all things nail polish/art/design and it makes my day to get to share that with you all. Thank you for being there for me to share this passion with you all, thank you for your kindness when I needed it (and even when I didn't) Thank you for taking the time to visit this tiny speck on teh intarwebz and for taking the time to read, to comment or not comment. I appreciate every single one of you who drops in to visit.
I don't want this post to be completely photo free so here's a picture of my boss's dog, she's a funny little french bulldog that loves to hang out with me because I kick the ball around for her to chase it. This doggie is one heck of a ball nut! LOLZ, I said it!

Her mom was outta town and I took this picture and sent it with my phone saying she missed her momma. :)

I have a contest coming up with some fun prizes, just trying to get through some spring cleaning and entertaining for the weekend and then I'll get photos up and announce the contest.
I've got all the comparison swatches to post up and hope to start doing those next week.
I purchased some stencils from smART nails (thanks Evil Angel for the posts that inspired the purchase) and I did a little design that I think is cute and have my own review to do of these.
That's up and coming next week. I apologize for blog neglect...see you all next week here, in the meantime, I'll be over there ------> (I'm in ur blogs reedin yer stuffs)

Kind and Generous

What a fantastic, kind, caring and lovely ladies you all are!


I thought twice and even three times before I hit the "publish post" button to post that last one up. I never want my blog to be a place where I come to whine. I have a whole other blog for that! no, just kidding, but the weight loss blog had it's fair share. I need to get back to that - the blog, not the whining!


This one is for all of you who took the time to read and especially those of you who shared a comment. I will definitely be trying out a few of your ideas and I am starting to feel so much better thanks to all of you.



(feel free to let it play while you surf on another tab!)

I've got hauls from contests to post, and swatching to do and I've got lots of good stuff to share coming up, but I have to wait a day or two to share some of it. Be patient for a day or two and I'll fill you in.

I was trying to put together my next comparison but I'm fighting with The Gimp and it's fighting back. Tomorrow I shall read a tutorial on how to do what I'm trying to do and try again tomorrow. For tonight, I'm hitting the sheets early because I think I may be coming down with the latest cootie from work. If I sleep well and long, I usually beat it out of me.

Thank you all again for your kind thoughts and words. This blog and those of you who are reading and viewing are very special to me indeed. I'm sending a great big hug out to all of you.

Shout out to Trincess

One of the big reasons I started this nail blog is because of encouragement from Trincess of Emerald Sparkled.

She asked for help in obtaining her favorite nail polish, the one she named her blog after: China Glaze "Emerald Sparkle" and I volunteered to help her out. Thus began a friendship between California, USA and Istanbul, Turkey.

Just yesterday, I shared a couple photos of a manicure I did, (photos will arrive here shortly) and she asked when I was going to join the fold of nail bloggers...I'd been thinking of doing it anyway but her encouragement was the extra push I was looking for, so I'd like to thank Trincess for her friendship and encouragement.

Now, go visit her blog, she got a full professional Konad kit from a friend. A friend, I tell you! Is that amazing or WHAT??? Go on now, go!
