French Manicure...Stamped and 200 Followers!!!

Good Evening All!!!  What a surprise when I got home from work and found that I had 201 Followers.....thank you all sooo much  :)   Now I will need to up the ante for the giveaway  :) I will not start it until after my trip to Chicago at the end of the month....I will be picking up  gifts while there, and I may be meeting up with one of my fellow Adventure in Stamperers!!!!
I decided for my mani of today to do a french manicure....hadn't done one in awhile.  I used for my basecoat Sally Hansen Maximum Growth in a natural color.  The french tip was done by hand using SC Black on Black.   My grandaughter, AKA The Princess is with me this week, she said I should stamp it with white.  So white is was!!!!  IP used was M4.......

And the final product.....I like it!!!  I will have to remember this when I need something more "sedate"....

Once again, thanks to all of you followers.....this makes me so happy, can't wait to do the giveaway!!!  Have a blessed evening......Jackie

Daffodils...The Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge

Wow...2nd post of today!!! I wasn't going to do this challenge, until I read Debbie's post from The Crumpet.  She was not feeling this challenge either, but as she put it, she "TRIED"....so , here is my attempt at free hand art of daffodils  :)

The cast of characters  was a gathering today!!

 Once I  got started, this really didn't take too long and wasn't that bad!!

Thanks for taking to time to look, any constructive criticism is appreciated....I am not that good at free hand and need all the help I can get!!

52 Week Challenge, Corset Mani Week 8

Good Morning All, I hope that everyone had a great weekend....mine was "okay".   I did my week 8 mani...a corset.  I was dragging my feet ...I did not want to do this one..I am NOT good at free hand art  :(
So I made myself do it, I started with a base coat of a polish that my daughter, "The Queen", gave me for Christmas...China Glaze Swing Baby, a gold  that was so easy to apply that it scared me!!!
 Then I took WnW Night Prowl and put a strip down the middle, and added my laces and whatnot with Art Deco  in white and gold.  I know I would not wear this out in public...just don't like it  :(

The Cast of Characters!

 This was taken outside on the deck, it was such a beautiful day!!

Well, there it is, thank you all for stopping in...have a great Monday!!!

Happy Valentine's Day-Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend!

Happy Valentine's Day to All!!!  Does everyone have plans for tonight???  I will be babysitting  so the younger ones of the family can celebrate  :)
I did this mani for Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge...the spring one.  Check out all the manis  here.
I liked it so much that I decided to do my post for today with it.....I am kinda worried about myself...it is PINK....pink is right up there with green for me!

My Cast of Characters for this mani  were NYC  Uptown, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Strobe Light. Using BM 09 IP with the Sally Hansen Color Quik Pen in gold. I free handed the french tips.

Here it is...hope you like it as much as I do!

 I love this diamond stamp!! Kinda hard to get a pic of it though  :(

 I hope that everyone has a lovely Vday!!

Week 4 Plaid Mani

Hello All...today is the 4th week of the 52 Week Challenge...a plaid mani.  I cringed because I am not good at freehand work :(     So I went to videos on the web and did some research.
I painted my nails with a clear base coat and then 2 coats of WnW Noctournal, a deep, almost black blue.
I got out my Art Deco in white and my acrylic paint in lavender.  I opted to just do tips, I thought plaid completely covering my nails would have been too much for me !!!!

 They look much better far away...LOL.
Next week is Newspaper mani....back to the web  :(
I am just 3 followers from my first giveaway!!!  Does anyone out there have any suggestions on how to run it??  I want to make it VERY simple.  I would greatly appreciate any input.  Have a great Sunday, thank you for coming by my little spot. :)
