The Color Run....I Survived...so did my mani!!!

Hello All....I am finally rested up from yesterdays Color Run in Kansas City Mo.  It was sooo fun!!  The night before I did all five of our nails with the same mani....color splats  :)  They turned out very cute if I must say so myself.  I used a base of Milani White on the Spot and various colors for the "splats" and Fun 2 Ip.
Warning!!! Lots of pics.....this 5k walk/run   (I walked, of course!!)  was for the Ronald Mcdonald House....I think I want to try another 5k......

The mani's before the walk.  And our group before...

My daughter, AKA The Queen, and I...

Some random "before" pics....

Not tooo bad for those that needed medical attention!!!

This is what it looks like when they throw the" color."....

Now the "after" pics....

Alittle "wilted" after 5k in 100 degrees  :(

Crazy girls....youth!!!

My beautiful daughter...the best in the world   :)

I did it!!!

It took me until now to recouperate  :)   Thanks for coming by and letting me share my family and my experience with you!!!  Have a blessed evening....Jackie

4TH of July

Good Morning.....It is HOTTTTTT here, so why not a 4TH of July mani today!!!
Of course , I used a clear base coat and then 2 coats of SH Insta-Dri in Rapid Red....FYI...this is also good for stamping  :)
Konad White and Cheeky CH5 for the stamping.  Then I wanted to get some blue on there, and realized that I really don't have a "good " dark blue  :(  Note to  self....fix that!!!!
So I pulled out a glitter blue that I have and the name is rubbed off on it...so I can't tell you what it is called!!  :(
Anyway, I used a dotting tool and dotted over some of the small stars .  Oh, prior to stamping I used a coat of Jordana Crystal Glitter......now for the pics.....

Does anyone know what this blue is called???

The final product.....

Thanks for stopping in....be sure to check in tomorrow...late....I am doing the Color Run/Walk for the Ronald McDonald House...and doing my nails for the event  :)   Have a safe and blessed day...drink lots of water if you are out in the heat!!!

Which Way Wednesday

Good Evening All....It is Wednesday :)  The Cast of Character is small tonite...

I used CG Trendsetter as the base....

BM312 stamped with Konad Black was used next....I am not sure what this image is...but I like it!!

 Then I used BM 313 with Konad White for the stamping.....

And here is how it looks matte......

I liked it...it would look good with just the right animal print top!!!
Soooo....what do you think???  Which way or no way....

Thanks for coming by   :)  Have a blessed evening  !!!

Positive and Negative

Good Evening All....today's mani  has a base of Pure Ice Kiss Me Here....very soft grey, nice application, only 2 coats necessary.....

I used the new BM 316 image plate, with the random lines, in a positive and negative.....

Konad black was used for stamping and the negative, at least I think it is the negative image...was used as an accent nail...

I like it , even with the smearage  :(  It isn't noticeable unless it is under a macro camera!!!
Thanks for stopping in....going to go chill out for awhile...have a blessed evening   :)

Sinful Puzzle

Good Afternoon All....today I am using one of my new BM IP.....I have been wanting the puzzle piece for soooo long.....and I love this one!!!

I started with a base coat of Milani White on the Spot , to make the following colors stand out more vibrantly...

This is what it looks like before stamping...

And after...

Sorry about the little bit of tip wear....this was after work today, and I wasn't very careful  :(
I LOVE this mani...alittle bright , but I still like it!!!
I want to try it with other colors, like black, grey and white....
Thanks so much for coming by today!! Have a blessed and fun evening.

AIS....Goth...For Emily :)

Good Morning All!!  Today's challenge in Adventures in Stamping is to do a "Goth" mani ....for Emily, a fellow member who LOVES goth!!!
I started with a base coat of SH  Diamond Strength in Deeply Violet, next a coat of Jordana Crystal Glitter.

It was sooo shiny that I ended up adding a matte top coat...

Image plate used was one of the new Bundle Monster plates....BM323, the roses and the barbed wire... I used Julep Leighton for the stamping polish.....

Love these plates, no issues with pick up or stamping  :)
I stamped the roses and it appeared that they didn't show up over my dark base  :(   But with the macro on the camera , they did!!  By the time that I realized this , I had added the barbed wire....still like the outcome!!

Now , side by side.....

I like it, I hope Emily does!!!  Have a blessed Sunday......
